Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Noah and Joshua's team attacked Jared's men with full vigor and strength, not giving them even a moment to breathe. Even though they were clearly outnumbered, Noah's men did not back off, for they had experience dealing with these kinds of situations, and the men they were fighting were nothing but kids who had no idea what was happening to them.

Unlike Jared's men who had no cooperation and meticulous planning, Noah had come prepared. His men had divided themselves into two groups. While the larger group attacked from the front, the other group took care of the wounded members, escorting them to the chopper immediately. With their careful planning, none of Noah's men were dead, while their enemy had reduced to a small number.

The Vipers had no idea how to tackle the situation they were in. They had never met an opponent so formidable as the one they were dealing with. Even though they were considerably less in number, they were more powerful and well equipped, and above all, they had a better leader. Even though the fight had started, Jared was nowhere in sight, and his assistant too had vanished after barking orders at them briefly. 

Although the Vipers had no idea who their enemy was, they commended their careful plotting. Only an experienced leader could come up with such a master plan. They wanted to find out more about the man who was leading them. But it was impossible. They were being attacked strongly, and it was impossible to move ahead. Moreover, every one of them was wearing a mask, covering their faces, hiding their identity.

The Vipers realized that they were now fighting a losing battle, and if they continued to do so, they would end up dead just like their fellow gang members. Making a decision, they retreated their steps, still firing at their opponent, not wanting them to find out their plan. Escaping from the main entrance gate was impossible, for their enemy was guarding it, and they were guarding it well. And hiding in the warehouse was out of the question. The enemy could get to them easily.

The only option they had was to escape from the back entrance. While they continued to fire at their opponents, they took slow steps back, in hopes of escaping from the place quickly. Ronnie read through their intentions quickly, and he waved his palm at his men. It was not a signal to allow the men to go. But it was a signal to not allow the men to leave. Though they were here to save Maggie, they were also here intending to kill as many members from the Vipers as possible.

The war between Jared and Noah was inevitable, and it was best they eliminated as many people as they could from his gang. Letting them go would only allow them to return, and why would Noah allow something like that to happen? They charged at them, firing their rifles, without sparing anyone on the ground. Their nemesis did not even have an opportunity to strike back, for Noah's men had shot them dead.

Seeing the situation of their team during the fight, the other members from the Vipers, who were ready to venture into the battle, gave up on the thoughts and stayed inside the warehouse. They gave up on their plan completely and decided to stay put inside the building. Taking a step outside would only lead to their demise. So, they locked the warehouse doors, hoping against hope that their attackers would not decide to come inside.

After dealing with the last remaining viper on the ground, Ronnie's men lowered their weapons, a victorious smile making its way on their faces. They had won the battle they had come to fight on such short notice, and damn, it was one hell of a fight. Although the men were well trained, their enemy was nothing less experienced either. However, they lacked a leader who could give out correct orders and execute their plan carefully. It was given that they would win under such circumstances.

"Ronnie, send the men who need immediate medical attention to the base. I have already informed Ian. He must be waiting for us. And Joshua, call Maggie. We are ready to leave. We will take care of the remaining men some other day." Noah ordered, and Ronnie got to work immediately. 

'We are ready to leave. Come to the front gate.'  Joshua sent her the message. He decided to settle for a text instead of calling her, for he did not know what situation she was in. It would be not good if she fell into danger because of his call.

Maggie had been tired of crouching down behind the thicket. It was cold too, and her thin shirt was not helping her from the cold winds that were embracing her body lovingly. She was hungry, and her stomach was hurling profanities at her for not feeding it properly. Maggie was losing her mind slowly. However, she waited patiently and to her relief, when her phone vibrated. She knew who was texting her, and on finding the words she wanted to see, her face blossomed in happiness.

'I'll be there right away.' Maggie stood up. But she stumbled to the ground, her legs giving out on her. Her legs had gone numb with pain, and it took her some time to stand properly on her feet. And the moment she did, she sprinted towards the exit gate, happiness evident on her face. 'Finally, I am free. I am never going to return to this hell hole again.'

Maggie's hideout was quite close to the entrance gate, and it did not take long for her to spot Joshua, the man she had grown up with, and another man she was all too familiar with, Noah. Her heart leaped in joy seeing the familiar faces before her. 'How long has it been since I last saw someone I am close to?' She wondered, her smile not leaving her face.

Joshua noticed the girl who he had not seen for months, and he smiled for the first time after he had heard about her in the night. However, his smile vanished when he observed something else too behind her. One of the men who was not dead yet had lifted a gun, and he was pointing it at Maggie.

Noah too saw the man, and he shot him at once. But it was too late, and the man had already fired at the girl. Maggie too heard the gunshot. However, before she could turn around and see what was happening, someone pushed her away with great force, and she faltered, the sudden push alarmed her. But what stupefied her more was Noah's loud cry of shock.

"Joshua."
