Chapter 18 - The Extraction (I)

"Where are you going, Zach?" Adie asks Zach who's puts knife, rope, gun, and grenades in his bag.

"I'm going to save Raven," Zach replies curtly.

"You can't do that, it's too risky for you!" Adie rebukes.

"Then, are we going to let Raven? It has been three days since she gets kidnapped. Do you know what they'll do to her, huh?!" Zach snaps.

"I know. They're going to make her pregnant with their seed and let Raven give birth to their child," Adie answers calmly.

"Then, why are you being so calm? Don't you care about Raven at all?!"

"I care about her Zach, she's my family just like you. But you can't go there because if anything happens to her, you'll be the one to sit on the leader chair," Adie explains.

"Fuck with that chair! I don't want to sit on that! If you guys just going to ignore her, I'll save her by myself!" Zach scowls before he takes his bag and leaves Adie alone.

Adie watches as Zach's figure getting farther. She knows his frustration, so she can only let him go.

"Be careful, Zach," she whispers.

Zach stands two kilometers from the place where the Visa family holds Raven. He knows what he going to do is something dangerous, but he comes with a plan. He already contacted his friend who works in the base. Yes, he does have a friend in the Visa family. Not everyone in the Visa family is bad. Some factions in the family reject the war. Zach's friend is one of the people in that faction.

From his friend, he knows that Raven is being held in a separate room. She's still alive and well, but he has to be fast because the Visa family plans to experiment with her. Zach looks at the map of the building that his friend gave to him. The map is complete with where the guards are located as well as the blind spot.

According to the plan, his friend is going to take Raven to the blind spot after sabotaging their security system and playing a fake record in the CCTV room. Zach then will sneak in and meet Raven at the blind spot then brings her out. Of course, it won't be easy like that. That's why he prepares the grenade, gun, and knife.

Zach looks at his watch, it's 11.55. Five minutes before the extraction. Zach extends his claws and fangs, his violet eyes change into red eyes. After five minutes passed, his figure darted fast at inhuman speed.

Raven sits on the bed inside the room where she is being held. Honestly, she thought that she's going to be tortured. But on the contrary, they treat her quite nicely. They gave her food and good coffee, something she doesn't expect. Still, Raven has an idea of what they're going to do to her. They want to use her womb to birth their child, so they can have a child half human and half Noctacian. They want to use the child as their weapon in the war.

Raven thinks about how she can go out of this place, but she knows she can't do that by herself. She needs something to divert their attention and also the structure of this place. Unfortunately, she doesn't know the building structure. What she knows is only the way from her room to the laboratory.

"Click," the door to her room opens and interrupts her thinking.

Raven sees the man who usually gives her coffee and food coming in. The red-haired woman narrows her eyes when she sees the man doesn't bring anything.

"Come with me," the man said.

"Why you are the one who takes me? Where is the other man who usually takes me to the lab?" she asks warily.

"He's knocked out. Now, come with me if you want to go out from here. Hurry, we don't have much time."

"Who sent you here?" Raven asks again, she can't just suddenly believe this man in front of her.

"I'm Zach's friend. I owe him something so I do this for him. Come on, hurry!" the man urges her.

"Fine, show the way."

Raven decides to follow the man, she needs every chance she has to run from this place. Besides, she can just kill him if he tricked her. They walk at a quick pace through numerous corridors sometimes the man will signal her to hide if other people or guards are patrolling. Soon, they arrive at a deserted place that Raven doesn't recognize at all.

"We're now in the blind spot. You have to wait for Zach here. I have to go back to my post before anyone notices something is amiss," the man explains.

"How long am I supposed to wait here?" Raven asks.

"Zach will enter the base at midnight, he should be here soon if nothing happens on the way. I hope you both get out safely," the man said before he leaves Raven alone.

Raven turns her head left and right, trying to find a place to hide until her cousin comes. She knows all she can do for now is waits patiently and believe in Zach.

***

Zach observes the guard patrolling outside of the door, six guards are patrolling the perimeter. The brown-haired man opens his bag and takes two smoke bombs. It's a special smoke bomb that will knock out adults for one hour.

"PSSH," the smoke spreads in the air, making the guard fainted.

Zach swiftly runs with his full speed inside, he knows he doesn't have much time until the security system is back to normal. He runs quickly but quietly, something he's mastered as a seasoned hunter in the village.

Within a short time Zach reaches the blind spot, he sniffs the air looking for his cousin's smell. He opens one of the doors and finds Raven hiding inside a small room.

"You shouldn't stay in here," he comments.

"Why?" Raven asks.

"Because you have a fat ass, what if you stuck and can't get out?" he jokes

"Fuck you too," she grumbles.

"Hurry, follow me," Zach said before running back to the gate.

All of sudden, "DOR!" a gunshot pierces the air.

Both of them immediately ducked, avoiding the bullet. Soon, they are surrounded by many guards who bring a gun. Zach and Raven stand with their back against each other.

"Five minutes, you ready, cousin?" Zach asks.

"Bring it on!"
