The Secretary who answered her call said that Conrad was at a site near the beach to inspect a facility there.
She hurriedly asked Diana to take her to the place where he is.
Though she was confused with her sudden mood, she dared not to ask her what was going on.
When she discovered the contents of the flash drive, it conveyed a mixed of emotions that she could not explain. She needs to face Conrad now. She may not be able to cope if she postpones the desired confrontation with the man.
She felt her eyes become teary. There seemed to be something heavy that slowly rising in her chest. It looks like she will explode in a few moments.
Because of her thoughts, she didn't noticed Diana's sudden speed of driving.
--------
Diana stomped hard on the gas as she continued to glance in the rear view mirror. From the moment they got out of the Imperial Heights building, she noticed that a red car was following them behind.
Her suspicion grew even stronger as it still followed the curve toward the location where they are supposed to go.
When the speed of their car speeded up, the speed of the red car also speeded up, so Diana speeded up even more.
But even before she noticed, the driver of the red car accelerated its speed even more. That's why Diana didn't notice that it was already getting ahead of them.
Diana suddenly felt very nervous when the car in front of them opened the window and an arm came out holding a gun.
They suddenly fired the gun, something that surprised both Siren and her so she immediately braked.
In the distance the car also stopped and from there the three men got off.
When Diana saw that they were nearby, she immediately drove the car in their direction.
It was too late for her to notice that one of the three men had shot them.
Only then did Diana feel a sharp pain in her side. She immediately put her hand to grope on her side where it hurts . And her senses got numb when she felt her wet side.
"Shit!" She cursed as she pull her hand to and saw blood in it.
"Diana?" Siren anxiously looked at her. She was frightened as she saw blood in her hand.
Slowly, Diana's vision started to blurry. Her heartbeat starts to go faster too that she needs to gasp for air.
But before she get in an accident, she slowly drove the car on the side.
"Goodness!" Siren almost jump on her as she want to check her.
"Get off the car..." She said.
"No!" Siren exclaimed. "We need to go to the hospital."
"Get off the car!" She tried hard to push her. "Leave me here and run!"
"No!"
"Just do what I say! If you won't listen, we will both die here!"
"No! Please!" Siren cried as she reached for her.
Diana gasp for another air. But on her peripheral view, she saw the glimpse of a familiar red car coming.
She immediately pull her phone on her pocket and handed it to Siren.
"Call Jeffrey and tell him what happen... Ask for help..."
And with all the strength, she pushed her out of the car.
Though she's in a great panic, Siren understand the situation and what Diana wants her to do.
When she looked behind and saw the red car, she started to run.
She saw big trees on the side and directly run to hide there.
After hiding herself, a few gunshots stops her from dialing Jeffrey's number on the phone.
He felt a strange chill when she heard gunshots.
A fervent prayer entered her mind. Wishing Diana hadn’t been the target of those shots. She counted a few moments before she peeked at the whereabouts of the car parked on the side of the road. Without the red car that had followed them earlier, the car was alone there.
She immediately ran back.
The windshield and windows of the car were perforated as she returned. And even though she hadn’t seen what had happened inside the car, she already knew Diana’s clear outcome.
Siren felt weak. Even though she was crying, she immediately attended Diana's lifeless body.
"Diana ..." she called her name. "Diana, please wake up!" She begged. Hoping she that Diana would answer. She wanted to believe this is just a dream. That what happened recently is not true.
"Diana!" She repeated.
Because of her screaming, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Pain drawing up to her side.
She got pulled off because of the pain she felt. Her breathing became intense as she tried to calm herself.
She remembered the cellphone she had just been holding. She immediately looked around to find where it was. And noticed the phone not far away.
She forced herself to stand up to pick up the device.
But even before she could take a step, there was a numbing pain that she felt. Reason for her to completely collapse and lose consciousness.
