Elijah couldn't hear a thing, but still he went and held the bodyguard up. The other men formed a semicircle in front of the three of
them and retreated backward while protecting them.
The fog was still too thick for them to see anything. The bodyguards had nothing but their hearing to help them discern where
danger was coming from, and then silence fell. The fog was like a maze. The only thing visible was the burning car. The air was
filled with the stench of ash.

Just then, they heard the cries of a girl coming out of nowhere. She was running toward them, calling out to her father. “Daddy?
Daddy, where are you?”
It was a three-year-old girl. She was frantically running on the street. Ren’s heart went out for her.
“There's a girl! Save her!” Elijah shouted.
“This could be a trap.” The bodyguards pointed their guns at the girl.
Ren ordered, “Do not hurt her.”
The bodyguards let go of the trigger. It was then the girl saw them, and she cright up to them. “Help me, mister. You gotta
help me.”
One of the bodyguards darted ahead and held the girl. He checked up on her and shouted, “She's fine!”
“Bring her here,” Ren ordered.
The bodyguard brought the girl to Ren. Elijah tried to hold her, but the sight of his bloodstained face made her bawl even louder.
Ren spread his arms. “Here, lethold you.”

The girl finally let Ren hold him. His bodyguards were still looking around them. They knew this girl was nothing but a pawn of the
enemy. This was not the tto let their guard down.
Ren took the girl over from his bodyguard. He then saw a red mark flashing on her back. It was the mark that a sniper was aiming
straight at her.
“Look out! We got a sniper!” Ren roared. He swiveled around with the kid in his arms the next second. The red dot that was
pointing at the girl was now aimed at his shoulder. Just a moment later, a bullet flew through the fog and pierced Ren’s shoulder.
He staggered forward due to the impact, but still he didn’t let the child go.
Elijah quickly cto him. “The VP's hit!”
