Day 116.
After making sure he and his men fully understood the plan, Alec grabbed the blueprint he had laid on the table earlier and ordered them to begin the operation.
Alec and his subordinates headed for the shooting range to select guns to use. Alec personally handed guns to each one based on their strength and capacity.
"Mateo, come here", Alec called. Mateo approached Alec with a raised brow. "Boss, you called", he said. "You are to be paired with me", Alec said without smiling. Mateo's eyes lit up at the privilege.
"Really sir, I get to fight by your side?" Mateo could not suppress his excitement. "Yes, now grab these. You'll need those", Alec said as he handed Mateo a rifle. Mateo took the rifle with happiness and gave a salute to Alec. "I swear, I won't disappoint you, sir!" He said with a determined face. Alec simply ignored him and loaded his Desert Eagle. He calibrated it carefully to make sure it worked as expected. Today was the day all this would end.
He subconsciously touched the necklace he took from Diego's neck and rubbed it gently. "God helps me", he mumbled softly
After making sure their guns were ready, they surrounded Alec and raised their gun high. "Boss, we are ready for your next order", they chorused. Alec nodded and headed to the bus, the rest of his subordinates following behind him.
Mateo offered to drive the bus, which Alec didn't mind at all. When he entered the bus, the rest of the men sat around him. This was to make sure that if they were ambushed from anywhere, they would make sure they protects their boss's life.
They drove for hours until the bus began showing signs of an empty tank. Mateo immediately headed to the nearest filling station to fill up the tank. "Ma'am, full tank please", Mateo requested the attendant. The attendant nodded and typed a few digits, before plugging the hose into the engine and filling it.
Inside the bus, Alec noticed Mateo using his phone. "Focus Mateo", Alec said flatly. "Oh, I'm sorry boss. I won't do that again", Mateo apologized and kept his phone in his pocket.
Moments later, the tank was filled, and Mateo paid the attendant, before zooming off the gas station and heading for the designated location. They stopped at a street next to the location of the mansion.
"Alright listen, people, it's now or never. I hope you all are prepared for this. Remember, we are not doing it for us, we are doing it for the people the mafia had made to suffer. We will not tolerate such an entity to torment us and live", Alec said a little speech and raised his fist weakly. His men, however, were massively motivated, and they raised their feet with pure determination in their eyes.
"Now, we move", Alec finally said, and his men flew out of the bus and ran towards the mansion, albeit silently. When they arrived at the mansion, two of his men walked forward to the big gate and stopped. Then they took a gadget and connected it to the doorbell system and punched some buttons. Suddenly the gate opened, and the rest of the gang stealthily entered.
"That's weird, there's no one at the mansion. Are you sure he is around?" One of the men whispered curiously, as the mansion was dead quiet. "That's not right. All the times we spied on these people, they were always guarding the mansion, irrespective of whether their boss was around or not. Something's amiss", another person added.
"Sir, there's something wrong with this plan. Maybe we should head back", the leader said with worry. Alec knew also that something was amiss. For a mafia's home, it would not be this silent. As he was seriously considering heading back, Mateo suddenly spoke up.
"And so what? Even if something's wrong, isn't that good news? At least no one has to waste bullets killing these thugs anyway. Maybe they are guarding someone more important, I don't know. All we simply need to do is to go inside, kill the mafia boss, and get out before they all come back".
"Are you listening to yourself? Who would be so important that the mafia boss would rent all of his bodyguards to guard", one of Alec's men said with disdain. "I don't know, but it's possible. Didn't the boss say that there's no going back? Whether something's wrong, it doesn't matter. We can deal with it when it comes", Mateo said indifferently.
"You must be...". "That's enough. Mateo is right. If there is something wrong with this plan, we will sort it when we get there", Alec suddenly said, surprising them all, but they had no choice but to proceed.
When they arrived at the big door of the mansion, one of Alec's men who was tasked to blow the door open proceeded forward and placed a homemade bomb on the door. Moments later, the man was done
"You all have to step back", the man growled, and Alec immediately retreated. "Fire in the hole", the man spoke in Spanish and pressed the red button, and suddenly there was a boom. The big door detonated in a blink of an eye, paving way for Alec and the rest to approach forward.
"Always watch for each other six", Alec whispered to the group, who nodded and focused ahead with determined looks. They approached the first room stealthily and stopped. Alec gave the signal, and they kicked the door open simultaneously and approached the room.
"There is no one here boss", Mateo reported. "I see that. Let's move to the second room", Alec said with a hard voice, and they all moved out of the room and walked to the other room.
The room they entered was smaller than the first room. Furthermore, it appeared it was a child's room, as they could see toys and a label of the human body's poster.
"You didn't tell me there was a child in this mansion", Alec glared at Mateo with hard eyes. Mateo appeared dumbfounded also. "Boss, all the times we spied on them, we haven't seen any child come out of the mansion. Even I am surprised".
"Sir, maybe we should modify the plans", one of Alec's subordinates suggested, but Alec raised his hands in dissension. "I will not say this again, we are sticking to the plan. I don't want any more objections, do you hear me?" Alec swept at everyone's face with a hardened face.
"Yes.. yes boss", the man said with a small voice. "Good, now let's move. We stick to the plan firmly, kill everyone you set your eyes on, irrespective of their age", Alec ordered, and his men nodded in submission.
