THE PROBLEM
Summer passed in Charlie's arms. It's almost Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Angelina asked Charlie to bring some eggs while coming home as she was going to make Charlie's favorite cake.
It's 8.10 pm. Charlie rang the bell. Angelina opened the door and gave him a kiss. "Have you brought the eggs?" She asked. "I am really sorry, I forgot." replied Charlie. "Charlie! You forgot. Go, get them now. It will take hardly 20 minutes."asked Angelina.
"Okay, Anjo. I will be back in seconds" Charlie kissed Angelina and again left. Angelina went to back to kitchen to make preparations for dinner.
Suddenly a shiver run down across her body as if someone's watching her. She someone move, in the living room, through the kitchen door. She slowly went through the kitchen door to the living room but to her big relief she was just imagining things, there was no one here. She saw that the front door was open. She forgot to close it when she opened it for Charlie. 'How can you be so irresponsible' Charlie would have said if he saw it. She quickly closed the door. And turned to go back to kitchen. But froze in her place and gave out a big scream.
Five masked men standing in her living room with guns in their hands.
The shops are too crowded due to Christmas. It took Charlie 40 minutes to just buy few eggs. "Anjo, going to be angry." When he reached the door, he heard a male voice. He thought maybe Patrick was there but multiple footprints on the snow told a different stroy. He knew something was wrong.
Angelina was in her bedroom, holding a pen and a file in front of her. On her side were two masked men holding their guns pointed towards Angelina's head.
"BITCH! Sign the papers" said one of the masked man. "I know you will not kill me till I sign the paper. It's so funny" replied Angelina. This angered one of the man and he slapped Angelina hard across face. She fell on the bed, tears rolling down her face. Charlie, she can only think of Charlie. She can just hope he never comes home. Cause she knew as he will ring the bell, the door will open. He would expect a kiss in his welcome but rather a bullet will come and pierce his heart.
"I will sign if you don't hurt my husband" She asked. "That's not possible, leaving a police man alive is the greatest shame for us."
"Then kill me" Angelina shouted. "NO! Bitch, until you sign you stay alive. I can do things to you that are worse than death. So better sign or get ready to get your clothes ripped off and raped by five men. You disgusting bitch!"said the man cruely.
The masked intruder has just finished his words when he fell flat on his face. Blood spilling from his back. Someone has shot him. Angelina's eye immediately fell on the bedroom's window. Charlie! It's Charlie. The other masked man was dead too before he can comprehend what was happening.
Charlie knew there were intruders in his house when he saw multiple footprints in snow. That's why, he used the drainage pipe at the back of his house to climb to his bedroom's window. Saw Angelina with two men and shot them down with his pistol.
He quickly locked the bedroom door. "We need to escape, there are more people downstairs"said Angelina sobbing. The only way to escape was the bedroom's window which opened directly above the road. Charlie used the bedsheet as a rope and tied it to the bedpost. He then went down the rope. Angelina holding him tightly along his waist.
They need to get away from here quickly before the masked men find their partners dead. They both started running. Until they found a truck, whose driver agreed to give them a lift. Charlie was thinking of a safe place where they can go.
"Your father's house, that's the most safe place"said Charlie. "Okay"replied Angelina halfheartedly. Charlie was also thinking about how those men found out where Angelina Wilmanson, now Angelina Woods was. Only four people knew about the plan. Charlie and Angelina have obviously didn't disclosed their location. Angelina's father, Albert have himself wanted his daughter to be safe.He's out of question too. So the only person who could have leaked Angelina's location was the police commissioner.
"What have you done to my daughter, you bloody piece of shit!" shouted Albert at Charlie. It was early morning, around 5a.m. when Charlie and Angelina reached Albert's house. "He hasn't done anything to me. You better keep your voice low when talking to him."replied Angelina.
Charlie explained everything to Albert. Albert was furious to hear the incident and slapped Charlie. "Who made you an officer? Your dumb ass can't do a single job correctly." Albert was shaking with anger.
"How dare you touch my husband?" Angelina was equally furious.
"Husband?"Albert was shocked. "Yes! And I don't want more questions asked to me or Charlie." Angelina replied.
