I’m Dedicated To You

“Ben, make sure you keep your team intact”I say looking at the slim boy I instructed to take 20 kids out of the hostages so we can be able to mobilize the kids well.

“Yes boss,” Ben says, nodding his head.

“Should we start now”Louis asked and I gave him a go ahead nod.

Louis starts unlocking the small metallic door that we found thanks to him and all the kids stand back praying and holding in their fate for the escape plan to be successful.

“Since you say this place is always surrounded with gun men, how did you intend us to escape from them without getting them alerted?”Clara asked me and I took a deep breath because I know the answer is going to make her anxious.

“I asked Collins to take care of them”I say.

“What do you mean that he is going to take care of it?”Clara asked, squinting her eyes.

“I asked him to sedate them”.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“What? is this what you mean that you are going to take care of them”she asked but she was interrupted by Louis unlocking the door.

“Put yourself together Clara, you need to get out of here safe so you can continue your petty romance with him”I say with a tone of finality.

“Remember my words make sure anyone is not left behind and make sure you don’t get caught”I say and the kids nodded their heads making their way to their respective team because I actually grouped them so mobilizing can be easy.

“What are you waiting for?” I asked when I saw that Gee was not moving.

“I am going to go with big brother”she says and I can’t help but facepalm over her naivety.

“You need to get out of here Gee but I can’t go now big brother needs to take care of something” I explained and I saw her nod her head.

“Then I will wait for you”she says and I ordered Clara to take her along but I don’t know why it worries me when I see her leaving but I brush it off anyways.

After the kids make their way out of the underground room I also walked out of the room and I looked around the green fields trying to spot any form of surveillance that could be an utterance in our escape but I found none but I suddenly hear someone’s footsteps behind me and I noticed it’s just one person I should be able to take him down, I thought.

“Ohhh calm down”I heard Collins say when I almost landed him a punch.

“I am sorry I didn’t know it’s you”I say apologizing to him.

“No it’s fine but don’t you think staying behind to know who is going to visit the boss is actually dangerous?”Collins asked while we made our way to the back of the building.

“What is actually dangerous to me is that I don’t know who got me kidnapped and I will go back home without knowing the person what if I got kidnapped again”I asked with a raised eyebrow and he looked at me surprised.

“Wow it must really be good to be brought up in an aristocratic family because I don’t even think of that”he says but I just smiled at his utterance.

I peeped from where I stayed to study the situation of the building even though everything looked fine but I don’t know why it feels like something is off.

“Shouldn’t the boss be here by now with his underlings?” I asked.

“I think so too but he says because of the search of you he is trying to be careful now that’s why he is now passing the bumpy road leading to this place”.

“And where is this bumpy road?”I asked, squinting my eyes.

“It’s near the cave we asked the kids to stay in…”Collins was saying but he stopped when he realized something.

“F**k!!” he exclaimed and he started running to catch up with Bradley that already took to his heels.

“We made a wrong speculation and we need to redeem it”I say while running trying to get to the kids.

Me and Collins kept skipping the mountains to quickly get to the hideout. We decided to keep the kids before my grandfather’s reinforcements arrived since we really can’t make it out of the mountains ourselves but we can’t afford to get caught by the gangs again when we already made it that far.

When we were almost getting to the cave me and Collins lowered our pace so as to be able to know whether the kids are in it but we were met with absolute silence and we started wondering maybe we have actually been caught because how can a place where almost 100 kids are this silent.

“Don’t you think we shouldn’t go in?”Collins asked but I didn’t give a damn about it.

“It’s big brother”Gee yelled while running to hug me when she sees that I am the one that enters.

“I am really happy that you are safe”I say, dusting her dirty brown hair.

“Why are you guys here?”Clara asked because it’s obvious they weren’t really expecting us because they were really frightened when they started hearing footsteps and it showed in the way they all curled up in fear.

“I think we might have a change of plans”I say panickingly.

“What do you mean?”Louis asked.

“I think because of the commotion going on Collins says the gang leader is taking the bumpy road leading to the building” I explained.

“And that bumpy road is around here”Clara says and I nodded my head.

“Collins, do we have any way that we can pass through that doesn’t lead to the bumpy way”I asked.

“I don’t really know if we all can manage to escape”he says and u raised an eyebrow asking for explanation”there is a lake we can pass but how are we going to do it with this kids”he added and I looked at the helpless kids that their lives depends on this escape and I can’t help but make a decision even though it’s weighty.

“We are all going to make our way to the lake,” I said, holding Gee’s hands when I saw fear in her eyes and I smiled at her in assurance.

“But it’s dangerous,” Louis yelled and I walked to him dragging him by his collar.

“Nothing in this world doesn’t come with risk and this is the risk we are going to take,” I say, dropping his collar and I started ordering the older one among the kids to help the younger ones in getting to the lake.

We make our way to the lake in discreet manner not trying to get attention to ourselves on the mountain and even though the mountains are a little bit slithering but the kids still hold on and they didn’t make a fuss at all and when we see the lake in sight the kids all beamed excitedly about the success of us escaping from the dangerous hideout.

“Wow I didn’t know we are going to make it here,” Gee says looking at the soothing sight of the lake and I also got completely immersed with the sight but the excitement over the beautiful sight of the lake was cut short by someone laughing maniacally behind us and when I turned the person turns out to be Louis.

“What’s going on Louis that you are this excited,” Clara asked in the embrace of Collins.

“I am excited that you guys can be so foolish to plan an escape and you are also getting caught for it”he says and I dimmed my eyes suspiciously.

“What are you saying Louis,” Collins asked, obviously confused about what he was saying.

“I think the party is over”Louis says shooting Collins and he immediately drops dead and we all let out a surprise gasp but the only person still collected in the situation is Bradley.

“I bet Louis is not your real name so, who are you?”I asked him and he looked at me with hatred in his eyes.

“The only reason you are not yet dead is because my father ordered me to keep you alive no matter the situation”he says and I can’t help but also be surprised.

“Father?”Gee asked with fear in her eyes and when Louis was walking to her side she quickly ran behind me.

“Yes my father is the gang leader”…
