Elvis knew he was in deep trouble. Being a top-notch secret agent, he had faced countless dangers, but this time, it felt different. It was Elsie, his last lifeline, now turned into a hostage. The irony of it all was laughable; the woman he professed to love was now a pawn in this deadly game.
"Elsie...don't worry about me...go!" Her eyes brimmed with tears, her voice resolute despite her obvious fear.
"If you lay a finger on her, I swear, I'll make sure you'll wish you were never born!" Elvis's eyes blazed with fury, his body tensed for action.
"Ellie's mine now, we're married! She's my wife, my woman!" Harvey, with a crazed look in his eyes, tightened his grip on Elsie, causing her face to turn a shade of red. "We could've had it all, run away and lived the high life. But you, you had to ruin everything. It's all on you!"
"Harvey... wake up... It's all a setup by Avery. He played us both, using our wedding to draw the fire away from him so he could escape scot-free. You think you're his right hand, but you're just another disposable pawn to him!" Elsie struggled to speak, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Enough! I know all this already! You think I'm an idiot?!" Harvey yelled, losing his cool. "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
The Chambers Group, led by Avery, didn't usually take orders from Harvey. But with Elvis disrupting their plans, they felt the urgency of the situation and drew their weapons, ready to take Elvis down.
Just then, Thaddeus and Cassius burst in. Dressed in black tactical gear and bulletproof vests, their steely gazes and firm postures were enough to intimidate anyone. They took down the Chambers Group's men with precise shots, showcasing their bravery and skill in combat.
In the midst of the chaos, Harvey, with Elsie in tow, made a dash for the back door of the church.
"Ellie!" Elvis shouted, chasing after them without a second thought.
The police arrived soon after, surrounding the remaining members of the Chambers Group, capturing them all.
