"Robert, I got your message from Anthony. What is the problem?" Gareth asked.
"I am in danger." Robert revealed.
"Don't you worry; ensure your phone is still on. I will have the boys track your location and would ensure that you are back here safely. Just hold on." Gareth announced.
"Gareth! I am in Lucifer's danger…." Robert indicated, but it was too late as his father had already hanged up.
While Robert and Kisha waited for the entourage to arrive, a knock came through Robert's car window and when he turned around, he realized the person to be one of Lucifer Wyatt's men with a gun in his hand.
"Step out of the car now!" The gang member yelled and both Kisha and Robert had their hands up in their head.
"No matter what happen, don't open the door." Robert instructed Kisha, before stepping out of the car.
"You really think we would be fools to allow you both go, knowing you will both return to your cars?" The soldier asked as Robert leaned back at his car. He was observing the soldier and looking for a perfect means to incapacitate him.
"Wait till I call the boss and have him know I was the one that found you. He would reward me handsomely." The soldier said with smile in his lips and tried to get his phone out of the pocket.
Robert found this as the only chance he had and launched at the soldier, being very careful to avoid staying at the end of the gun's nozzle. He held on to the soldier's neck, trying to knock him out cold. Robert had a long experience in Judo and this was becoming helpful for him as he had applied the coquina clutch on the man.
After few minutes of locking the technique, the soldier dropped the gun and fell to the floor, while Robert's hand were still placed to his neck and eventually, he passed out cold on the floor. Robert stood up and dragged the unconscious body of the soldier away from the road and unto the bush.
Kisha, who had watched everything at the comfort of the black mustang, stepped out of the car and hurried over to Robert's side. "Are you okay?" She asked, observing every part of Robert, who was perfectly fine.
Meanwhile, another soldier, who had been stationed to watch them had observed his fellow comrade being knocked out cold and immediately picked up his walkie talkie and ringed the rest of the soldiers to come back.
After few more minutes of waiting, both Robert and Kisha heard the sound of cars, coming in both direction of the road. Robert almost believed it was his father's escort, till the black vans turned out to be Lucifer's men. They were all trapped and had no place to go. The soldiers all got down from the car and made a circular formation, placing both Kisha and Robert at the centre.
Another car pulled over and when Robert looked up, Lucifer Wyatt stepped out of the car, dressed in a black long trench coat and a hat to accompany his dress. He had a cigar in his mouth and his cold stare landed immediately on his old friend.

Some of the soldiers stepped aside as Lucifer made it to the centre of the circle to confront both Kisha and Robert. Kisha was already hiding behind Robert as she was scared of facing Lucifer.
"I told you Robert. I warned you that I am not someone you would want to start a fight with." He blew out the smoke in his mouth. "Why are you suddenly interested in a woman that you don't know anything about? Her background, her personality, you know nothing about this pathetic thing over there." Kisha felt hurt by the choice of diction that had been used in describing her.
"This woman is evil, she is terrible. She killed my grandfather. I don't even think you are save around her. She could possibly be planning your death at the moment." Lucifer explained.
"Well, you may see her as an animal, but I don't see her that way."Robert pointed out. "Whatever it is you want, say it Lucifer and I would give you for the ransom of Kisha. All I need you to do is let the poor girl be!" Robert finished off.
"The only thing that can make my grandfather in the grave happy, is if he can see Kisha suffering." Lucifer proceeded to pushing Robert behind him and grabbed Kisha by the neck.
Robert was about protesting, but the cocked guns of the soldiers, stopped him right in his track. Kisha filled with pain and fear as Lucifer grabbed her by the neck.
"Take this piece of trash into my car." He declared to some of his soldiers, after releasing Kisha from his tight grip.
While Robert tried to protest, soldiers rushed up to him, holding both side of his hands and restraining him. Kisha was yelling for mercy and at the same time, yelling for Robert to come to her rescue, while she was being dragged away, but there was nothing Robert could do about it.
"You don't have to be so aggressive over that girl, she is evil and would only seek for your ruin." Lucifer said to Robert. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot and the men grabbing hold of Kisha fell to the ground.
Robert turned around to see his father's soldiers had stepped out of their various vans. They were hundreds of vans packed around and several hundreds of soldiers all fully equipped with guns in their hands.
"Take Kisha away!" Robert instructed one of the soldiers.
One of the soldiers rushed over to Kisha's side. Lucifer Wyatt's soldier tried to retaliate, but got shot in the leg, before he could get to Kisha as well.
Kisha was taken out of the scene and unto the car by the soldier, who drove off afterwards, leaving Robert and his men alongside Lucifer and his own men in check.
"I warned you about choosing war Lucifer." Robert indicted, getting up to his feet.
Lucifer looked around to realize that his men were outnumbered by Robert's soldiers. He couldn't initiate a sporadic shootout as it would leave him to be disadvantaged.
"Hold him!" Lucifer declared and his soldiers grabbed Robert once more and he pulled a gun out of his pocket, pointed it towards Robert.
"If you all try to behave foolishly, he would be dead!" Lucifer declared to the soldiers.
"One bullet at Robert and you would be dead also." Robert's soldiers replied.
"You are more interested in saving Robert I am aware of that. If he dies, there will be no heir for the Walter's family. Thus, I wish you all thread with caution." Lucifer was unfazed, while making his point at the soldiers.
"Just shoot the gun dammit!" Robert yelled at the soldiers.
"You really want me dead isn't it?" Lucifer asked Robert.
"All of us would die in this place. There wouldn't be any form of flawless victory" Lucifer knew that Robert had a point, he needed to play it safe as there would be total blood shed in this place.
"Let him go!" Lucifer declared to his men after shielding his gun. Once Robert was let go, Lucifer walked over to Robert and the two engaged in a cold stare at each other.
"Be expecting me next time Robert." Lucifer revealed and Robert gave knowing chuckle, before moving over to meet his soldiers, while Lucifer turned around as well.
"Lucifer! I want you to have this at the back of your mind. We are legion, and I know you would come for me in the nearest future. However, let this battle be between us. Don't ever involve Kisha into this again." Robert warned.
"No! My return is going to fatal." Robert knew that if something wasn't done, Lucifer would always come back for Kisha. He didn't want Lucifer coming back again. He called on one of the leaders of the soldiers and whispered to his ears.
"As soon as I am out of sight, you will kill all of Lucifer's men. As for Lucifer, ensure you lock him up somewhere." The leader of the soldier nodded. Robert made one last stare at Lucifer and smirked at him, before heading out of the scene.
Lucifer watched as Robert moved out of the place. He was suspicious as he believed his friend was up to no good. Suddenly a large shoot out began to initiate. Right before Lucifer's eyes, his entire men were being pulled down by Robert's men, till he was left alone.
They didn't shoot him. Lucifer realized that Robert had pressed the wrong button and even though he would be captured, he would come back for Robert.
