Sting instead, turns to Red who came down from the cab yelling.
"Sting! It's a trap! Don't do it! Stop!" Red said all to no avail because when Sting turned to look at Red his finger pulled the trigger.
Sofia already reaches Mr Benson and pulls him out of the way but the bullet hits her shoulder. Sting turns back and sees Sofia in front of him. Everything that just happened seemed like a slow motion movie to Sting. He drops the gun and goes straight to Sofia. He holds her in his arms.
"Sofia!" Sting yells.
Sarah grabs Sofia I'm a hug form.
"Sofia... Why? Why... Sarah cries loudly.
" We have to remove the bullet!" Red said.
Sting gives way to Red to do it and continues to cry, begging her to stay with him.
Mr Benson is also crying. He never thought such a thing will happen right in front of him.
Red slowly removes the bullet successfully.
"We have to take her to the hospital!" Sarah said.
Sting lifts Sofia up in a bridal style. Red opens the back door and Sting puts her in. Red sits on the driver's seat and sting sits on the seat beside him. Sarah and Mr Benson sits with Sofia at the back. They finally reach the hospital and Sting rushes to carry Sofia again. The nurses take Sofia to the ICU and immediately calls for a surgeon.
Sting, Sarah, Red and Mr Benson were told to wait outside the ICU.
"This is all my fault. I shouldn't have... " Sting said and breaks down in tears.
"Don't cry Sting. Be a man." Red said, trying to make Sting feel better.
"Not in this situation." Sting replied.
"Who sent you after Mr Benson?" Sarah asked Sting.
Everyone looks at her. They expect her to be crying about what happened to her sis but instead she had already started investigating.
"You heard me right. Who sent you and put my sister in this condition?" Sarah asked again.
"My boss did." Sting replied.
"It's not his fault. He didn't know the relationship between Sofia and this man." Red said pointing at Mr Benson.
"I don't care who it was that is responsible or not. I just want justice for my sister." Sarah said.
"Red." Sting said.
"Yes?" Red answered.
"How did you know where I was heading to?" Sting asked.
"That's exactly what I've been trying to tell you. I overheard Big boss and Greg having a conversation about you. That's how I knew. From what I could understand, they want to ruin the relationship between you and Sofia. That's why Big boss sent you to kill the person closest to her, apart from her sister that is." Red explained.
"He did this!" Sting yelled.
"Calm down young man. We are in a hospital." Mr Benson said.
"Yes. You have to simmer down." Red agreed with Mr Benson.
"We have to do something." Sarah said.
"Yes. We have to. You know but what Red?" Sting asked.
"What?" Red replied
"Tell Big boss I quit." Sting said.
"Sorry Sting, you have to find someone else to do that." Red replied.
"Why?" Sting asked.
"It's because I quit too." Red replied.
"Well, that's a good start." Sarah said.
"I'm afraid that is a very dangerous decision. Mr Benson said.
" And why is that?" Red asked.
"If Big boss, as you call him, did all this just to ruin your relationship with Sofia then just imagine what he can do to keep you working for him." Mr Benson said.
"That's a good point." Sarah said.
"So, what are you guys going to do?" Sarah asked.
"We will have to think about this carefully before taking any step." Sting said.
"Now that's a smart decision." Mr Benson said.
"Son. Can I talk to you in private?" Mr Benson asked referring to Sting.
"Sure." Sting answered.
"What do you want to talk about?" Sting asked.
"Sofia." Mr Benson replied.
"I'm really sorry I did that to your daughter sir. I didn't know you are her dad. I was told that she is an orphan." Sting explained.
"She is an orphan. It's just that I take her as my own daughter and she takes me as her father." Mr Benson said.
"She is really a good person. She deserves better than me." Sting said.
"Yes she deserves better but she chose to love you. I guess that makes you special and better. Right?" Mr Benson replied.
"I don't know about that." Sting said.
"I only have two advices for you." Mr Benson said.
"Number one is that you should believe that love conquers all." Mr Benson said.
Sting nods in agreement.
"And number two?" Sting asked.
"Hurt her and you'll have to deal with me." Mr Benson said and Sting laughs.
"Okay." Sting said.
Just when Sting and Mr Benson joins the others a nurse comes comes out.
They all rush to her asking how Sofia is doing.
"She is fine. She just got hit on the shoulder and we have treated it." Said the nurse.
"Oh thank God." Mr Benson said.
"So can we see her now?" Sarah asked anxiously.
"No, not yet. She is asleep and once she wakes up you can all go and see her. As for now she has to rest." The nurse answered and leaves.
"At least she is okay." Red said.
"Yes. I knew she would be okay right from the start." Sarah said.
Red hugs Sarah.
"Hey. What do you think you are doing?" Sarah asked.
"I saw an opportunity and I grabbed it." Red replied.
"You are just so crazy." Sarah said.
"Yes. I am crazy. Crazy for your looooovvvvveee..." Red said, dragging the last word.
Sarah pushes him away from herself.
"How cheesy." She said and smiled a bit.
"Anything for your smile my love." Red said and winked at Sarah.
Sarah blushes.
"I just hope Sofia can forgive me. So we can be like you two." Sting said.
