Chapter 7 - The Maid’s Quick Thinking
The sound of gunfire sent Uncle August diving into the tall grass near the helipad, clutching his chest as he rolled to safety behind a stone fountain. Casper leaped from the damaged golf cart, laying down suppressive fire toward the cypress trees where Volkov was hiding.
"Stay behind the engine block, Willow!" Casper yelled, ejecting his spent magazine and slapping a fresh one into his sleek black pistol.
Willow crouched low, her heart hammering against her ribs. She peered through the shattered glass of the cart. She noticed something crucial—Volkov was repositioning himself, sneaking through the shadows of the trees toward the estate's massive automated sprinkler control box, aiming for a flanking position that would give him a clear shot at Casper’s unprotected side.
Casper was entirely focused on Volkov's previous position, unaware of the deadly flank.
Willow didn't hesitate. She remembered the layout of the grounds perfectly. She crawled quickly toward the rear of the cart, grabbing a heavy metal wrench from the maintenance kit strapped to the back seat.
As Volkov stepped out from behind the control box, raising his rifle to execute Casper, Willow hurled the heavy wrench with all her might. It didn't hit Volkov—instead, it smashed violently into the high-pressure main water valve on the control box.
With a deafening hiss, the pipe burst open, blasting a massive, blinding torrent of high-pressure water directly into Volkov’s face.
The assassin yelled in surprise, dropping his rifle as the water blinded him and knocked him off balance. Casper instantly spun around, realizing what Willow had done. He closed the distance in seconds, tackling the disoriented hitman to the muddy ground and delivering a brutal strike to his jaw, knocking Volkov completely unconscious.
