He pulled up on his bicycle and from a distance, he observed the house, the windows were closed and there was no light on them, inside the house was pitch dark. He knew better than going into the house. He Parked his bicycle at a corner and took cover in the shadow provided by a wall. From there, he made a wide coverage of the place with his eyes, he knew exactly where one would hide to avoid discovery because he had often hidden at those places with Nancy to have sex out of the watch of her parents. He knew the shapes of each places and looking at the wall across the road, he noticed a new unusual figure, putting everything together, he made out the stature of a man, common sense made him attach a weapon to his hand and the shape was complete. He pulled out his phone and dialed Nancy's number again and it was switched off. He dialed Joseph's number. 

"Sup Jay"

"Cool bro, i'm over at Nancy's and i think something's wrong "

" What the fuck are you doing there?"

"She called me up and said something was wrong and she was scared, said i should come over"

"So you are there now?"

"Yea, i think i made out a man with a gun, i'm a little far away"

"Stay put, don't go anywhere they will see you, i'm on my way"

The call ended and Jaycee waited uneasily for his brother. 

Back inside the house, they assassin was getting impatient. 

"the fuck is keeping him" he said and Nancy made some muffled noises. The assassin trying to appear funny, moved to her and placed his ear closer to to her mouth. 

"I can't hear you sweetheart, come again" 

Having bitten her way through the gag, she grabbed his ear with her teeth, the man screamed out loud and managed to pull his head out while Nancy pulled a good chunk of his ear off. She spat the bloody flesh out and screamed help. Mad with pain and the blood oozing from his ear, he rushed at her and landed her a heavy slap which sent a mad sting through her flesh and drew the blood from her nose and mouth, raising his hand to hit her with the butt of his gun, she kicked him on his scrotum and he bent from the pain while she landed him another kick on the chest which sent both of them crashing on the floor, Nancy landed on the floor with a thud that broke the chair she was strapped to. They both lay on the floor too exhausted to make a move. 

From outside, Jaycee had heard the man's scream and Nancy's shout for help and so also did the other 3. The one on the wall came out into the road exposing himself, Jaycee moved swiftly, cuddling against the wall, his gun up, he took a good aim and shot him down. The other two seeing their colleague down open fire at Jaycees direction, he dropped on the floor for cover as the bullets flew over him hitting the walls and dropping some debris on Jaycee. Their bullets exhausted, one of them moved to where Jaycee was while the other rushed into the house each replacing his empty mag with a full one. He got to where Jaycee lay before Jaycee could pick his gun.

"Put your hands where i can see them " he said pointing his rifle at him as he kicked his gun away. He made Jaycee stand up slowly and surrendered him. 

"Don't try anything funny or i will blow you open". 

Jaycee with his hand up smiled and shrugged, his eyes cast on something behind the gun wielding man. The man followed the direction of his eyes and turned, before he could blink, a blow landed on his face and he fell face down, the gun dropping from his hands, Joseph fell on him, grabbed him by the throat, clenching his teeth, they both struggled, Joseph tightening his grips and the man trying to tear his wrist off, Jaycee picked the gun and with a perfect aim,rammed the butt on the man's head like a golf player, the pain stung him and he released his grip on Joseph's wrist, slowly the blood came to his eyes and out of his mouth and nose while he gasped for breath, Joseph squeezed the life out of him.
