Ch-39
"Hello, Oscar," Ella said with a motherly hunch. She knew it must be Oscar. Generally, he would have sent them a signal which was fixed in his belt. Today, these people were taking away their watches, phones, and other stuff. But they don't remove their belts. Oscar used that as his leverage in normal cases. If it didn't happen, then he was in serious trouble.
She was so tensed, scared, and frustrated at the turn of things. She knew she has to stay strong. If not who will take care of her men, underworld, gangs, and the company?
She put on a strong mask on her face. Not because she doesn't want others to see her as weak, it has become her habit of hiding her real feelings from everyone.
She smiled and assured them that nothing would happen to her and her son.
"Mom," he replied. This word made her feel relieved and the cold person inside her almost melted. She was melting for him. But not the time to think of other stuff, other than saving her and her beautiful soon-to-be might-be might-in-law.
She let out a relieved smile. She signaled her men to trace her call. She could see them all working together, but the time was moving at a slow pace. She knew getting a phone and calling them when they were kidnapped was something hard to do for anyone.
"Trace me fast," he said. She was doing it already.
Then spoke for less than a minute. She cut the call when they traced their location.
"Where were they?" Ella asked.
"In the Black Ocean gang's forest," the hackers replied. Share the location with us. Find out if you could find any footage about the location they were in. And the men guarding them," Ella asked.
They nodded. Ella already had a fair idea of how many men would be there in the group, but she wants to have an accurate number with her.
"Lady Bernadetta there seemed to be 30 people there," they replied.
"Good," Ella said. A sinister smirk formed on her face as she looked at the forwarded location on her phone.
"Carl, gather our men," Ella ordered.
She quickly gathered her men and started throwing decisions at them as she divided the tasks into what they had to do and how they have to do the things.
"So, three will be with me. Ten members will round the building and will clear the guards. Carl will take care of this. Then he will help us in getting inside the building. Since it's one story building, Carl will take care of the ground floor, and Callum will take care of the first floor. I and my three men will get Eric and his main subordinates," Ella said quickly.
The plan seemed simple and easy. But if there was any unexpected situation then it would be hard for them to tackle.
"Lady Bernadetta, what if the person who wanted Oscar to be kidnapped arrives early? We don't have a backup plan for that," Joe reminded.
"He won't come and join the fight," she said.
"How are you sure?" he asked.
"Kid, I am in this thing for a long time. I know how things work. As you mentioned, I already have a backup plan. I will take care of it. Don't worry," Ella said to Joe with an expressionless face. Ella could see Joe was really concerned about Luciana. She wondered how could two strangers be so close, caring, and loving. Luciana was so lucky to have met them.
"Trust me. Your friend will return safely to you," Ella said. She didn't expect she would say these words. She and Oscar were no different. They don't show their warmth through words but through their hidden actions.
"We trust you," Joe said. He knew she was not the type to assure others but nevertheless, she did for them. He was glad she did that at least.
"Joe," Evelynn wanted to say something to him when he said he trusts Ella. But Joe cut her off. He knew that she was worried that Luciana might not be in one piece. But now they have to trust them. Even he expected Oscar would say Luciana was safe on the phone, but they could understand if he didn't stay. The fact that he mentioned Luciana with him means, she was safe for now.
