Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1059

Narissa's opponents were heavily armed and they used that to their advantage, leaving her with no room to do anything other than dodge behind the racks and shelves as she tailed them from a distance.

"Trying to get away? You won't be escaping that easily!"

They had reached the exit and were about to get into the vehicle that was waiting for them, so Narissa couldn't hesitate any longer. She picked up a brick and threw it at the person who was firing the most bullets at her.

He was hit in the head and fell unconscious at once. Narissa rushed out and rolled on the ground to grab the gun before firing shot after shot at Stenson's car.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets made contact with the car. She was completely focused on firing at the car that she didn't notice someone aiming a gun at her from behind.

"Damn it! It's bulletproof glass!"

Narissa didn't think that Stenson would be as vigilant as he was. Even after she had emptied the gun's barrel, the car was merely dented.

She watched in frustration as the car sped off and threw the gun on the ground with so much force that it was half-buried.

Just then, a gunshot rang out behind her.

Bang!

The moment Narissa heard the sound, she felt a bullet whizzing past her right ear.

At the very next second, the bullet shot through the tree in front of her, leaving behind a gaping hole.

That was so close!

Thank goodness he missed, or else, it'd be my head that was sporting that hole now.

Narissa exhaled in relief and turned around to find that the shooter was less than fifteen feet away from her. He was clutching his hand and writhing around on the ground in pain.

However, before she could get any closer to check on him, a silver needle came flying in the air to end that man's misery.

Narissa looked in the direction where the needle had come from and saw Zephyr jumping down from a tree.

Evidently, she would've been dead by now if he hadn't injured that man's hand.

Despite their mutual dislike for one another, she kept ending up indebted to him.

Under such dangerous and pressing circumstances, neither one of them was in the mood to argue. They simply nodded in greeting.

"El wasn't in the car with them so she must still be in the dugout!" Narissa filled Zephyr in before the two of them went back inside.

After searching all the rooms and seeing no sign of Elise, Narissa went back to the first room. Zephyr was kneeling by the pool of blood and scraping some of it up with a strip of card.

"So? Did you find anything?" Narissa asked impatiently when she saw how calm he was.

At times like these, she had to admit that the wheels in Zephyr's mind spun faster than hers did.

"He won't be a dirtbag then. He'd be a sewer rat," Zephyr joked.

As soon as he spoke, a strange sound filled the air.

Beep, beep, beep.

It kept getting louder as it echoed inside the dugout.

He leaped out of the car and rushed over to check on Narissa. "I heard the explosions from the foot of the mountain. Are you alright?"

"I'm great," Narissa replied curtly before walking off.

Jamie stood forlornly without moving. He felt as if he was an abandoned pet who no longer had a home.

"Doc," he mumbled somewhat to himself. "I think I made a grave mistake. What do you think I should do to get Narissa's forgiveness?"

"I'm a doctor, not a relationship expert. You should be asking yourself that question. However, I think a guy who lets his woman get hurt and upset doesn't deserve to call himself a man."

For once, Zephyr didn't joke around with Jamie. He simply said his piece and walked off.

Jamie sighed. He looked haggard and deflated. It was as if his soul had been sucked out of him.

Soon, Danny arrived as well and everyone gathered at a river near the foot of the mountain.

"I don't think El's in any danger right now, but they've taken her somewhere else and we still need to find out where," Narissa said.

Now that they knew Stenson was behind this, they weren't as worried anymore.

Stenson was all bark and no bite. He wouldn't dare to hurt Elise.

Danny nodded. "The Hellens' territory isn't all that big. I'm sure we can find her if we search through all of Wegas. Zephyr, how's my brother doing?"

"Not good," Zephyr replied. "The poison in him is a slow-moving one that's hard to deal with. I came here to see whether there were any medicinal herbs that I could use."

"Thanks for all your efforts. Keep his condition a secret from the kids for now. As for Elise's situation, you can be honest with them. The kids are old enough now. They need to learn to be strong. Let them slowly get used to these kinds of situations."

After a short meeting, everyone left to begin their search for Elise once more.
