As Mathis continued driving, the cityscape receded behind him. The once densely packed buildings became sparser, giving way to sprawling fields and the occasional isolated farmhouse. The GPS on his dashboard indicated he was nearing his destination. Mathis's focus sharpened as he spotted the imposing mansion in the distance.

The mansion was a grand old structure, its architecture a testament to bygone opulence. It stood surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens that stretched out like emerald carpets. Mathis slowed his car, scanning the area as he parked on a nearby side road. He approached the mansion on foot, his steps deliberate and cautious, taking in every detail of the estate's sprawling grounds.

He retrieved his binoculars from a hidden compartment in his car and lifted them to his eyes. Through the lenses, he observed the mansion and its extensive property. Guards patrolled in a calculated pattern, their presence making any attempt to infiltrate the premises seem increasingly challenging. Mathis's gaze fixed on a second-floor window, where he saw Eva in a room, accompanied by a woman and a young girl playing quietly.

Mathis's mind raced as he considered how long Eva might remain there. He reasoned that if she stayed overnight, he could potentially slip into the mansion unnoticed. Glancing at his watch and up at the sky, he realized he needed to act quickly. He made his way back to the car and popped open the trunk.

Inside, he retrieved a sleek handgun and checked its magazine before lifting a cover on the car's floor. Beneath it was a neatly organized box of weapons and gear. Mathis selected a sharp knife and additional magazines, securing them to his belt. He also picked up a small, unassuming pen from a separate compartment. After scanning his surroundings to ensure he wasn't observed, he closed the trunk and prepared for the infiltration.

With calculated precision, Mathis approached the mansion, using the dense cluster of trees for cover. He neared the fence and grinned as he took out the pen. Activating the laser, he sliced through the metal effortlessly. Silently, he slipped through the opening and darted toward a towering hedge in the expansive garden.

Mathis kept a vigilant watch on the patrolling guards, noting their routines and positions. As one guard's back turned toward him, Mathis seized the opportunity. He sprang from his hiding spot, quickly subduing the guard by grabbing him around the neck and forcing him to the ground behind the bush. Mathis's movements were precise; he applied pressure to the guard's neck until he went limp, then ensured the body was well-hidden among the foliage.

He proceeded toward the house, using the cover of the garden to remain unseen. A slender water pipe ran from a gutter along the side of the mansion to a balcony on the second floor. Mathis assessed the surroundings and, with quiet determination, began his ascent. Climbing the pipe, he reached the balcony and carefully vaulted over the railing.

Crouching on the balcony, Mathis listened intently for any sounds of disturbance. The area was eerily quiet. The balcony wrapped around the house, lined with large windows that made it difficult for Mathis to remain concealed. He peered through the windows toward the room where he had last seen Eva.

Inside, Eva was in conversation with another woman, her expression intense and focused. A little girl played on the floor nearby. Mathis's heart raced as he realized how critical it was to act quickly. He tapped gently on the balcony door. Eva's eyes widened in surprise when she saw him. Without hesitation, she opened the door and ushered him inside.

Eva's surprise was palpable. "What are you doing here? How did you find me?"

Mathis stroked her hair comfortingly, offering a small, reassuring smile. "I had a feeling something was wrong. We need to get you out of here."

Tears welled up in Eva's eyes as she embraced Mathis tightly. After releasing him, she took her daughter's hand and whispered instructions, urging the girl to stay quiet and follow her lead. With the girl in tow, Eva followed Mathis out onto the balcony.

They approached the railing cautiously. Mathis turned to the young girl and asked softly, "Can you hold onto my neck while we climb down?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, looking to Eva for reassurance. Then, she clambered onto Mathis's back. Mathis began the careful descent, making sure each movement was secure. Once they were safely on the ground, they made their way toward the car.

Suddenly, Eva accidentally snapped a twig underfoot. The sound was slight, but enough to alert nearby guards. One of them immediately started heading in their direction. "Keep running, Eva! I'll handle the guard," Mathis instructed as he turned to confront the approaching threat.

The guard charged at Mathis, his eyes filled with anger. They collided, engaging in a fierce struggle. The guard landed a powerful blow to Mathis's chest, causing sharp pain to shoot through him. The two men grappled, each struggling for dominance. Mathis wrapped his arms around the guard's head and delivered a brutal knee strike to his stomach. The guard let out a pained groan, and Mathis followed up with a sharp elbow to the back of his head. The guard fell to the ground, moaning in pain.

Mathis quickly made his way back to the car. As he approached, several more guards noticed the commotion and began rushing toward them. The sound of gunfire erupted, intensifying the urgency of their escape. Mathis and the others scrambled into the car, the engine roaring to life as Mathis shifted into gear.

With a surge of acceleration, the car shot forward, bullets ricocheting off the bulletproof windows. Mathis maneuvered expertly, weaving through traffic as they sped toward safety. Two black SUVs pursued them aggressively, their drivers skillfully maneuvering to keep up.

As Mathis navigated a sharp bend in the road, one of the SUVs tried to pull alongside them. At that moment, a trailer veered into their path, colliding with the SUV and sending it into a dramatic roll. The violent crash scattered debris across the road. Mathis pressed the accelerator harder, pushing their car to higher speeds as the remaining SUV fell behind.

Entering a tunnel, Mathis continued to evade their pursuers. A gunman leaned out of the remaining SUV's window, aiming a machine gun at them. Mathis deftly maneuvered the car, dodging incoming fire. With his own weapon in hand, Mathis returned fire, targeting the SUV's tires. The SUV swerved uncontrollably before crashing into a curb and skidding to a halt.

Mathis eased off the accelerator, gradually reducing their speed as he veered onto a quieter side road. Inside the car, Eva and her daughter were visibly shaken but safe. Mathis pulled out his phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello," came the gruff voice on the other end of the line. "It's about time you called. What's the situation?"
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYZ17gsq3
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2zzd9t1qU
Mathis quickly explained the urgency. "We were ambushed. I need a secure location to regroup and lay low. Can you give me an address?"
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjielGAAzJ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknY7fQv8TI
The voice on the other end paused before responding. "Alright, I've sent you the address. It's a safe house on the outskirts of the city. Be cautious and keep your phone off once you arrive. We don't want any surprises."

"Got it," Mathis said, ending the call and turning to Eva. "We have a safe house lined up. It's a bit of a drive, but we'll be out of sight soon."

Eva's expression shifted from relief to concern as she processed the events. "Thank you for everything. I don't know how we would've managed without you."
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1t291JyvQ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh8AEStrXM
Mathis gave a reassuring nod. "Stay alert. We're not out of danger yet."
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImN7A4z3c

With the new address set, Mathis focused on driving, ensuring they remained off the radar as he headed toward the safe house. The night had only begun, and Mathis knew their ordeal was far from over.
