Chapter 27 Twenty Seven

Shawn had felt it strange when the barbarians started escaping. They had snuck into the town last night and although aware, he wanted to know what they were playing at it. So when he got the news that they were leaving, he ordered the standby soldiers to give chase. However, the more he sat in his office, the more he felt that it was a trap, so without further ado, he got up, took his motorcycle key, and told his right-hand man about his hunch. Driving to the scene at high speed, he saw the car parked at the roadside but he decided he would worry about it when he was done saving his soldiers’ asses. He would hate to lose even one, every one of his soldiers was important to him and he couldn’t afford to lose any, not if he could help it. He had seen the man pointing the gun at him, but he wanted to finish with the one he was handling so when the silver bullet pierced his torso, he grunted but he knew he would be done with the issue at hand before needing a medical checkup. He saw some barbarians dead on the ground without bullet wounds and he was already sensing that something was at play. So, when he sensed the barbarian behind him and saw him falling without him doing anything, he concluded that there was someone else with them, someone helping from behind the scenes.
