Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Silence had fallen upon the ward. Elliot was holding a sleeping baby in his arms. He just couldn’t take his eyes off her. She’s my second child.

It was four in the morning, so the sky was dark. Six black cars were traveling through the street. A man in the backseat of one car was resting his eyes. His assistant, on the other hand, was going through the files despite how exhausted he was. The few international cases were forcing them to stay awake and making them feel tense.

All of a sudden, a blanket of fog appeared out of nowhere, covering the whole street. The bodyguards slowed down in response. This fog was too thick to be a natural occurrence. Someone or something was waiting in the shadows for them. “We got a situation here. Stay alert,” the head bodyguard said.

The car came to a sudden halt, waking the man in the backseat. He opened his eyes. The bodyguard was telling him what happened. This sudden fog was no ordinary phenomenon. The whole street was clear just now, and there shouldn’t be any fog at night in this weather.

Just then, a blinding flash of light assailed them. Something crashed into the car in front of them, and a great explosion happened. “It’s a rocket launcher! Protect the VP!” Elijah shouted.

The bodyguard got out of the car. Elijah and Ren followed a moment later. They were escorted away with the bodyguard shielding them. Less than ten seconds after they were gone, a rocket launcher sent the car behind them flying up into the air. It fell back down and rolled a few times on the road.
