Jack and Sunny are still outside the clinic discussing the case, when they suddenly hear a gun shot from inside the clinic. Patients come running out screaming.
"What the heck is going?" yells Sunny, as both of them spring into action.
They burst into the waiting area, in time to see the two assassins gunning down the nurse and entering Dr. Nair's office. They manage to squeeze through the throng of people and rush toward the office door.
They see the male assassin lining up the doctor in his sights and just as he is about to pull the trigger, Sunny launches himself at the assassin. They fall over in a heap but the shot still gets Dr. Nair in the shoulder and he falls over. The lady then turns her gun toward Sunny, but Jack tackles her from behind sending the gun spinning from her hand. The lady is surprisingly agile and sweeps out a foot that catches Jack in the face and sends his sprawling against the wall. She pulls out a switchblade from within the folds of her clothes and attacks him with it.
Sunny meanwhile manages to pin the male assassin to the floor, but the assassin manages to hook his legs around Sunny's neck and breaks the hold. He shouts to his female counterpart and they get up and head for the door, the man limping badly while the lady supports him.
Sunny looks around wildly and sees Dr. Nair covered in blood holding his left shoulder in agony. As he reaches him, the doctor passes out. Sunny quickly applies pressure to the wound with the doctor's jacket, which was lying on his chair and dials the emergency services number from the phone on the desk.
He looks around for Jack who is lying on the floor in the corner, flat on his face. He rushes to him and turns him over, finding him clutching his stomach in agony. Blood is gushing from a knife wound to his stomach. Sunny looks around wildly and finds some towels in a cupboard, which he uses to staunch the flow of blood. Jack is looking pale but motions to Sunny, "Go get those bastards... I will be fine. The ambulance will be here any minute."
Sunny looks unsure, then takes a snap decision, "Call Rohan and tell him what happened. I'll track these people and get in touch with him."
Jack nods through his pain and pulls out his phone.
Sunny squeezes his hand, "Don't die on me buddy."
Jack gives him a weak smile as Sunny picks up one of the assassin's guns and runs out the door as he hears the faint sound of the ambulance siren in the distance.
Jack dials Rohan's number, "Rohan, we need help... come quick... Sunny is..." Jack passes out.
