Chapter 7

It was a cloudy morning, and each employee at his or her desk silently prayed and thanked the Lord in their own know-how, not because the day was cloudy and the weather seemed gloomy! Rather it was due to the fact that the day was a Friday which meant a 'half working day' for them and two extra days for nothing but rest, it was indeed a cause to be in a delighted mood and even a storm would find it hard to change their mood.

The CEO, Mr Xie Guang felt very different, today was the first day of that new girl he just hired and he had invited her to his office by 11am for a ' warm and personal welcome ' and she had agreed. But now, his father was demanding that he left the office immediately to a meeting in another town, Xie had begged his father for more time, but he would not hear of it, he glanced at his wrist watch which read 10:30am and his dad had told him to leave by 9:00am but he was willing to risk three hours for d sake of dat new beauty. Of course, his father had been calling since but he just chose to ignore it, still thinking of how he would be scolded, his phone shook against the table in a very violent manner that made him jump with fear, taking a look around and finding out it was just the phone, he hissed and even became vexed after seeing the caller ID, he wasnt going to pick the call but something about the way it rang gave him chills like as if the phone would explode. Unwillingly, he picked it up and his father's tone was as thunderous as ever and it actually pierced Xie's ear gripping him with fear, his father was over the peak of anger and was coming up to his office, sensing the immense danger, Xie offered himself up and said he was coming down but his father him not to pass through the front door but should rather use the secret exit in the CEO's private bathroom.

Xie knew about the secret exit cause his father told him not to, and he never had a reason to, but now his father sounded very angry and scared at the same time so Xie wasnt willing to push it anymore, with a sigh he knew his meeting with beauty would have to wait till Monday. He looked at his watch once more which now read 10:40am, he was slightly surprised as to where the previous 10 minutes went. Shrugging off his confusion, he walked into the bathroom, and pressed the loose tile wall which opened the secret door.

Zhao Yan was filled with joy and revenge, the leader had chosen today for the job and after considering the fact of it being a Friday, the time they chose was 11am, Zhao glanced at his watch which read 10:55am, they had five minutes till action time, although they were just two minutes to the office, they would wait till the fixed time when the employees would be on break and would be very much scattered around making it easier for them to attack disorienting the employees making It hard for them to contact the cops. The moment they all reached the company, they positioned themselves well that would give them easy access into the building. The moment the clock rang 11:00, they could hear that the once silent building instantly became noisy and lively, with that, even the two heavily built security guards were already off position. It was time, five thugs immediately came out of hiding and threw two knives each at the two guards, the first guard was struck in the back and one behind his head, having nothing to do again, he dropped dead, seeing this, the second guard quickly turned around to see where the attack came from but was instantly met by six different knives in different places not leaving out the left part of his chest plus his forehead and he as well fell having no time to even make a sound. Seeing the guards dead, the thugs rushed in with batons and knives as they advanced in their raid..........

As Su Yanzi stepped into the CEO's office, she was surprised to have not met him there, as she was sure that he never left the building, looking at the cup of coffee she intended to give him, she became slightly angry at herself for losing such opportunity. " what a waste of poison" she grumbled as she dropped the cup, she looked around the office searching for a secret exit cause she was sure there was one; ' how else could he have escaped' she thought. As she was mumbling through her thoughts, she heard noise from the other floors, luckily, the CEO had installed cameras in all the floors, he claimed for better watching over but everyone knew what he was truly watching cause he was the only one who had access to it in his office. As Yanzi stared at the screens in front of her, she was filled with rage, there were thugs everywhere killing everyone they found, seeing she had actually been played, she decided to hide as she could not kill all of them, even if she could, explaining the situation to her superiors would be a headache. Rushing into the bathroom, as she thought it safe, she pressed her body against the tile wall and jumped as she heard a sort of mechanical sound coming from the bathroom. She waited only to discover the entrance to the secret backdoor, smiling to herself, she wasted no time and dashed through the tunnel.

The company was in chaos, these guys came out of nowhere and started killing, they had nowhere to run, and were confused on who to call, it was as if the Intruders had brainwashed them with only one thought which was to escape but it wasn't possible as they were everywhere and even blocked the exit of the company, the employees were certainly doomed for.......

Cuzon was completely terrified, the thugs were trashing everyone and everything, as he hopped away in ultimate fear, he suddenly came face to face with a man holding a blood stained baton, the sight was very disturbing and scary, he wished to throw up but didn't have the time. Using all his strength, he spun around to escape; one of the most beautiful things about the company was that its entire structure was made of glass, but in the present situation, it was a very ugly rather than beautiful; as Cuzon tried to run, he lost balance and his crutches fell, but thinking about the baton he had just seen did not make him fall, he put strength in his only leg and began to hop away from the man, he looked back only to discover the man chasing him without the baton, half scared to death, he put more effort in his leg and hopped away effortlessly crashing into a glass wall, then another and another and another..... His body was bleeding due to the crashing and he couldn't stop it, his leg had a mind of its own and its goal was to keep moving, seeing the next glass wall some few steps away, Cuzon had an idea; he would put everything he had into the leg and lift himself up in the air, crash into the glass and land on the floor; he would sustain more injuries but it would be worth it, he turned around and saw the man had given up, sighing with relief, he carried out his plan and lifted himself as high in the air as he could with an tingly feeling of achievement in him.
