Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 63

Winona’s back stiffened and slowly clenched her fists. Her heart ached not for herself but for Matt because now she understood that the person who stabbed his back was the President.

She slowly turned around and raised her eyebrows. “Oh really? Didn’t Mr. President notice my actions just now?”

She smiled as she waved the remote control in her hand. Her smile was entrancing. “Let’s perish together. Now everyone in this building would be buried with me. This is a great deal!”

The President stared blankly at her. At that moment, he thought that he saw that woman in his memory smiling at him and the world fell quiet.

By then, the security had broadcast the emergency code throughout the President’s Office and all security personnel was activated to surround the office. Winona knew that it was impossible for her to escape and she was making a bet with her life.

The President’s personal bodyguard pointed a gun at her and said, “Madam, the entire place is covered with snipers. You cannot escape. Please cooperate with us.”

“With only a press, everyone will be blown to kingdom come!”

The President suddenly waved to the bodyguard and said, “Let her leave.”

“Sir…”

“Do as I say!” he demanded.

Everyone quickly lowered their guns and made way for her. His decision caught Winona by surprise. Did she place the right bet? They were afraid of dying.

She started to walk out but then turned back around. She raised her hand and slapped him in the face. His eyeglasses flew off his face.

“This slap is for my man. Just remember this. One day I’ll get even with you!” Winona warned.

Everyone gasped at what Winona did. She even dared to hit a sitting President!

People in the room were stunned as they silently watched Winona walk away.

A bodyguard spoke as he gestured to shoot her head, “Mr. President, shall we?”

The President shook his head. He walked to the desk and removed a box stuck with chewing gum under the desk. There was no bomb inside the box. There were only several batteries. He then laughed mockingly, “It’s General Snider’s luck to marry such an outstanding woman.”

There were women in this world who did not care for wealth or fame. As long as you won their heart, they would give their life for you. She was no Cleopatra, but she's beautiful in her own way. His first love was such a woman and Winona was another.

“Shall we give chase?” the bodyguard asked.

“Just go through the motions. Don’t harm her.”

“Yes Sir!” The bodyguard saluted and left in a hurry.

Winona left the President’s Office and soon several cars and a bunch of guards started to chase after her. She ran quickly towards a narrow walkway and grabbed whatever she could to block the way behind her. The guards were getting close and her breathing became painful.

Suddenly an unmarked car stopped in front of her and the driver shouted, “Winona, get in!”

She quickly opened the door and got in. Benjamin drove the car haphazardly through the pedestrian path; people screamed and cussed at him. There were even sirens blaring in the distance.

“Follow me!” He dumped the car and grabbed her hand as he led her through the crowd and into a narrow alley. The alleyway was very complex. Even the locals might get lost inside here. The police and guards ran in all directions without any leads.
