Mercy,Ryker's sister was a highschool teacher in Evergreen High.She was a science teacher who taught the seniors.Her day to day life was going to school and working as a waitress in the evening.She was the class teacher of the 4A class.The class had twenty eight students one of which was Harriet.Harriet was a short girl from South State.She was the daughter to Miss Sofia.One of the days,Harriet came to school looking unwell.She slept in between all her classes and the teachers were all complaining about her.She had been kicked out from three classes on that day.After school,Mercy asked Harriet to remain behind as she needed to speak to her."Harriet at four after your last class,come see me in the office we need to talk."She had said this to Harriet after her lunch just as she was going for the Spanish class.She went to class as usual but after the classes she went straight home.Mercy waited for her for about an hour but she finally got impatient and left for home.At the back of her mind,Harriet was in great trouble the next day and she would go to detention for 3 days.On Thursday Mercy woke up at 5:00 AM her usual waking time and surprisingly her breakfast was ready.She took a shower and drank her breakfast in a hurry.She took her car and went to school.Everything was normal the whole day except the fact that three students missed school.She called the parents and they all confirmed that their kids had left for school that morning.The school principal called the police and asked for a search within the area but the kids were no where to be found.The next day the three kids had not turned up and it was beginning to become more serious.The police expanded the area of search and everyone hoped the kids would be found.That evening Mercy was so stressed about those three students their names being,Harriet,Suzzie and Mae.She met her brother and "sister in-law" having dinner."Hey there sister,join us for dinner.Its your favourite meal you know."She did not have an appetite but she could not resist the thought of eating Gravy Lemon Chicken and Spaghetti.For sure her "sister in-law" had known her more than she had expected and in a very short while.She sat to eat her dinner and as usual,Sage had so many stories to tell.As they were eating they heard a knock on the door.They hesitated for a while but the person on the door knocked harder.Mercy went to open the door and Harriet was standing there crying so bad."Come in and come down Harriet.Sit for a while,catch your breath and then tell me what's going on"
"No it can't wait madam...(panting and crying)he is going to kill them.I don't want them to die.Its all my fault."
"Who is going to die Harriet? tell me everything but first take a glass of water"She took the glass of water and settled down Abit.
"We have been going to meet some guys after school,that's why I missed detention.Today they invited us to go for a Ocean trip on the Atlantic Ocean on the Buhai beach.(sobs Abit)When...when our parents drop...pped us at the school gate,we waited till they left then we went to the gas station next to the school.(as she explains the actions of what had happened are seen)"Harriet check whether your mum is gone,the guys are waiting we have to leave"
"Alright I'll check" When mum left (she sniffles) we went to the gas station where the guys picked us. We went all the way to Buhai Beach. There was a white yatch with green fancy patterns waiting for us. There were five guys and three of us. One of the guys was my boyfriend Williams. It was an enjoyment day for us as they had even bought us drinks and weed. We climbed into the boat and we started sailing. We changed to our bikinis and the guys helped us apply sunscreen to avoid sun burns. I loved Williams so much😵😵 I didn't think he was an animalðŸ˜ðŸ˜. We had been in the boat for a while when I decided to go downstairs to look for something to eat that's when I saw two dead bodies. Both were ladies and that's when I got scared. As I was going back upstairs Williams saw me. "I told you not to go down there I knew you wouldn't like what you saw"
"Who are you Williams, get away from me and leave me alone. Take us back to the beach and get the hell out of our lives for good."
"I would love to but if I don't transport you three out of the country I will never get my freedom back, they will kill me darling... I need to go back to my wife"
"I hit him on the head and we had a fight I struggled for my life but finally I knocked him out of consciousness and I ran up to the girls. On reaching the top the girls were already tied up by the men. I quickly jumped in the water and tried swimming away as we were not so far from the shore. It took me a while but I was not in danger as I am a good swimmer and I was wearing a life jacket. The men were in hot pursue of me but then I hid when I reached the shore and they lost me. I came running here as I knew you were the only person who could help me and your house is nearer than mine. Please let's hurry before he kills them or takes them abroad."She was now crying and looked desperate." Don't worry Harriet just come down abit I'll call the police, "said Mercy.
" No you don't understand if we waste any more time they will get killed and it will be all my fault. "
Mercy had a plan but she needed the help of Sage and Ryker. They left for the beach. Ryker didn't want this plan to be used...he was not okay with putting the two girls in danger, they were the most important people in his life. They hired a yatch and went to find Williams. They saw a boat and decided to sail closer and take a good look. "That's the boat madam let's head there and save my friends."
"You remember the plan Harriet?" Ofcourse she remembered the plan they sailed so close and Sage started speaking to the young men.
"Hey you handsome men we were enjoying ourselves sun bathing but then we realized we need someone to apply it on us can you be the people to do that?"
"Oh yes how can we refuse search a pleasant offer it only comes once in a blue moon besides our boat feels empty without beautiful ladies like you... Tie your yatch to ours and we can sail and enjoy the sun together," said Williams.
"I like you already what's your name Mr handsome?"This was Mercy speaking she knew how to charm men and she knew she would easily capture the heart of Williams the leader of the gang.Part of her training as a teacher was how to speak calmly to people even in times of problems. All this time Harriet had hidden in the boat since they all knew that if Williams saw her it would endanger all of them. The girls helped by the men climbed onto the boat and each started flirting with her guy. "So you are Williams.. What a cute name. And what are you doing here all by yourselves fishing😂😂because that would be stupid the water here is very shallow."
"Well Mercy my beautiful lady we are not here fishing but we will get very big fish once we get to that island(pointing to the island). It's said the waters there are very deep. The fish earn us very huge amounts of money otherwise I couldn't afford such a boat and get the honor of riding with such pretty angels."They sailed for a long time till they reached the island. They alighted the boat and followed the men slowly. They had no clue where the men were going.
" Where are we going gentlemen, "asked Sage.
" We are going to check if the fishing equipment are ready."They entered a place that looked like an old Port. It had very high walls and the gates were so secure. The only opening was the dock and it was very high and deep. The walls were painted white. On the other side of the walls were very large rooms where the cargo was stored before transportation. That particular part of the island was deserted and they were the only people there. As they were talking the men suddenly turned against them and placed handcuffs on them. They then locked the door from outside and left. The girls were now scared and sweating profusely. This was not how their plan was supposed to work. After a few minutes they heard footsteps. They grew louder and louder. They then heard voices from outside. "The one with the blond hair could go to Philip he likes these kind of women he would pay a fortune for her. We need the money and as many girls as possible so as to set us free"
"But Boss what shall we do about her.. She escaped and has probably told the police she couldn't have just come to this island from nowhere and without a very good reason" Mercy knew they had caught Harriet and now they were completely screwed. In the same room there were a few other girls. They seemed so weak, they probably hadn't eaten for days."Hey how long have you been here and what do they want with us?" asked Mercy.
"HI I'm Lucy and we have been here for like a week now. We don't know exactly what they want but we've heard them call us cargo they do women trafficking to Kora country." The girls continued chatting weakly when suddenly Harriet was thrown into the room. The men entered and gave them food and water.That sounds nice but it was only a slice of bread and 100 ml water each." Harriet how were you caught and what happened to the police and Ryker?"
"I followed you guys so that I could go back and inform the police where you were but they caught me on my way back to the yatch.I left two of the guys searching the yatch." The girls now knew they were being trafficked out of the country. Their plan to rescue the girls was now ruined. Just as they were talking the men brought in other girls. These new girls were Harriet's classmates. The girls were astonished on seeing their teacher Miss Mercy. "What's going on what are you doing here...."
"Shut up. I want all of you to be dead silent anyone tries to scream you are dead do you understand?" shouted one of the men. The girls just remained quiet. The other men left and only one was left behind.(speaking in low tones) "Girls, there is only one Man we can try defeat him and escape."
"are you insane if we get caught we will be killed besides these girls are so weak they can't run fast or run at all." Mercy and Sage were conversing about how they could escape but their problem was that they had to save the girls. Just as they were about to start their plan the rest of the men walked in. They took the girls out to a very large lorry. They were the lorries that transported the girls from the abandoned port to the new port where they would be shipped out of the country. One of the men entered the back of the lorry where the girls were. He had plenty of syringes. They contained a drug that would make the girls unconscious for hours.He started from the first girl and within minutes she was unconscious. He then left for a while. On that very moment one of the girls who was a doctor told the girl closest to the syringes to dilute the drug with water as fast as she could. Two girls who sat opposite each other did the work. After diluting four syringes they heard the man trying to open the container door but it had jammed. The girls hurried and just as they finished diluting the last syringe the door opened.
"why is there alot of water here?" the man asked. The girls were quiet then Sage spoke up. "She was trying to drink water but she is so weak so the friend across helped her." The man walked to where Sage was gave her a hot slap and said, "Sweetheart nobody asked you to speak.(shouting)I said be silent!" He then walked slowly to the girl and poured the remaining water on her. "Since you are thirsty but too weak to drink,how about I help you. Are you satisfied?"The girls were so scared of these men. They had been raped and beaten so badly. The man injected all of them and left. As he was walking out his glycerin fell of his pocket but he didn't notice.Immediately Sage picked up the bottle and applied it oh her hands and she removed the handcuffs very fast. She untied herself and helped the rest untie themselves. They had been traveling for a while when the lorry stopped. It was time for their meal. They all pretended to be unconscious. They had a plan. The man opened the truck and placed a slice of bread next to everyone. When he reached where Mercy and Sage were, the girl behind him stood and used the cuffs to choke him till he was unconscious. Since he had left the truck door open the girls jumped out and started running towards the woods. When the other men realised this they went in search of them. Some of the weak girls were caught but Mercy, Harriet and Sage were not caught. They had stolen the man's phone which they used to call Ryker. They told him where they were and they asked for back up from S.W.A.T. Ryker came to pick them and they used shortcuts to get ahead of the truck and created a barrier. After a few minutes the track arrived and the men on seeing the barrier, started shooting to the police. In the process Harriet and a few police men were shot.Ryker and Mercy tried to move Harriet to the safety of his car. Sage performed first Aid on her to stop the bleeding. Ryker asked Mercy and Sage to take Harriet to hospital."How did you bring your car here?" asked Sage. Ryker explained to them what had happened. When he saw that the girls had been captured and their plan had to be aborted, they went back to the main land, they got a few more police and used the Hikari Bridge back to the island. The bridge led to the only populated place in the Island. They used cars on their way back.They had been tracking Mercy's phone when Sage called and she told them where they were. Mercy and Sage rushed Harriet to hospital. She was bleeding so much and her life had to be saved. Ryker and the police continued fighting the men but the men seemed stronger.
