Gabriel ran and ran, not stopping to breathe, until he came to a dark alley. It was then he realised he seemed to be lost. Honestly it didn’t matter whether he got lost or not, but he wouldn’t want to make Lucia worry about him. He patted his pockets and did not find his phone, it’s then he realised that he had left his phone behind when he was trying to escape his security details. He had made that decision on a whim, not caring about his safety despite knowing that he was a wanted person. Terrorists and rebels hunted him because he could help them achieve a lot through his scientific breakthroughs. But now, he regrets it.
Back in the study room.
” I think I have messed up!” Kiel said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. He was damn sure that his words triggered something in that man’s mind that’s why he ran away like a rejected pet.
” You just didn’t mess up dummy, you messed up big time. You should pray nothing happens to him otherwise you’ll learn the consequences of your poor jokes.” Ronald said sternly and then removed his phone and called one of his men.
” Follow him. Make sure you don’t lose sight of him. If anything suspicious happens, act accordingly and inform me.” He barked the orders and cut the call.
” Why?” Justin asked. From the serious tone of his friend’s voice, something was off. Something was wrong.
” The rebels have been keeping a close watch on him since he came back to the country.” Ronald replied with a laid down voice.
” Shit!” Kiel cursed out. He was very much aware of what could happen if the guy was captured by the rebels. It was already hard now to try and fight them, what could happen if they managed to capture him and force him to work for them? Kiels heart dreaded the outcome.
In an underground basement.
A man was seen typing furiously as the screen of the computer displayed various images. He suddenly came to a halt and zoomed the picture.
” I got him commander. He’s heading south to the port ” the guy reported and the so called commander burst out laughing
” What do you think Nikolai? It was pretty easy to locate him ” the man boasted.
” Scar, I would suggest you celebrate after you capture him. You never know who’s lurking in the darkness protecting him. A man like that will never walk without security and talk less of exposing his whereabouts ” Nikolai said, his voice neutral. You could sense the dread and fear in his heart. He couldn’t help but curse his brother. How could he let such a walking weapon roam the streets? Was he so eager to have the country torn down by rebels?
” What do you suggest?” Scar asked respectfully. After All Nikolai was the queen’s only son and their future king.
” Send the best, you should also tag along and capture him. We have to force him to be on our side.” Nikolai ordered and the commander bowed before leaving the room.
After the scar left, Nikolai glared at the Man who Just exposed the infamous scientist to the rebels. The guy could feel death daggers thrown at him but couldn’t turn to look at their boss. He knew that the boss could be scary, more or less like a grim reaper.
” Leave!” It was only one word but it carried the sentence to his life. Without wasting a single second, the guy scurried away like a wounded little tigress. He didn’t dare look back at the Boss. Nikolai picked his phone and sent a message to someone before deleting it immediately. He left the rest of the matter to her hands and God’s hands. That’s the best he could do for her.
Miranda, who was drinking water Heard her phone ding indicating an incoming message. She immediately took it and opened the message app.
” DANGER! REBELS OUT TO CAPTURE HIM.”
Simple, short and bold.
Nobody needed to tell her who the message was referring to.
” Putting the phone to her pants pockets, she placed the glass on the table with a thud.
” Rescue mission.” She yelled and the three girls didn’t need to be told it was action time. Their movement was synchronised as they walked out of the house.
A minute later, a red sports car left the mansion at a terrifying speed. Ava was on the wheels and everyone knew that they were in for a crazy fight.
” Details?” Lucia asked.
” You should have stayed in the house. You are risking the life of your child.” Stacy reproached her.
” I know how to take care of myself, don’t worry. You should be worried if your needles are stocked before you run out of your poison in the middle of the fight.” Lucia admonished her mercilessly.
” Shut up! Am concentrating here. Miranda, details!” Ava interrupted. These two were at it again.
” Target:, Gabriel Collins, enemy: rebels, location: south to the Port.” Miranda reported.
” Damn it! How could I be this careless?” Stacy lamented.
” Yes, damn you! How could you keep that kind of information away from us! Do you want to get us all killed?” Ava roared.
” Am sorry!” Stacy said and the whole car fell to utter silence. Stacy was really remorseful. How could he let him walk away just like that? She didn’t even make the effort to follow him even knowing that something was wrong with him.
The men who were sitting in Justin’s study room Heard the sound of an engine coming to life and the next thing they saw was a car leaving the villa at an extremely fast speed.
Ronald could only curse. He knew that that was definitely his Ava on the wheels. He had investigated her after they met and came to know that she was a qualified racer but never enrolled for any races. He contemplated why she would certainly be interested in racing today then, realisation hit him.
” Shit!” How couldn’t he realise it?
” Get the chopper ready and track my car ” he ordered and immediately walked away in hurried steps. Kiel and Justin could only run after him wondering why all of a sudden everyone was seen walking away.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
