Chapter 31 - The police

The previous day, the location that Ghost had chosen was quite favorable because the moment someone noticed the fire and reported it almost everything that wasn't metal was swallowed by fire. Thanks to the fuels and explosives that Ghost had brought, nothing of value could be recovered. The fire brigade as well as the police that had come to the scene, went back empty-handed.

*****

The following morning Kali was the first to wake up, and she began to make breakfast for everyone including Danger, though she wasn't freed yet. Before she could finish, Ghost had woken up and so did Hacker.

"Kali, and Hacker we have a meeting," said Ghost leading them downstairs into their meeting room.

Kali stopped what she was doing and followed, they got into the office and sat according to their hierarchy as usual.

"The police will be here soon…"

"Do we have a mole?" Asked Hacker calmly as if Ghost had said something that is not surprising or scary.

"That could be possible but, on this note, the reason is that Scar has a tracker on him. I posted a video of yesterday's kidnap online using my fake account around 4 am; I didn't blur Scar and Flo's faces, and the news went viral in a few hours. The police are looking for them and our plant in the station said that someone leaked the tracker's location to them this morning, which means if we are not careful we will be surrounded by two groups, the first is the police and the second is the those who leaked the tracker. So, before I make any suggestions do you guys have anything to say?"

"How about if we remove the tracker?" Suggested Kali.

"We don't have much time to search where the tracker is, we should have done that yesterday but we got carried away. (rubbing her face with her hand) I talked to doctor D and he said, it might take time to remove the tracker especially if it's in his system, even if it's planted on his tooth. Another thing, I think Scar is so cunning and who knows if what he has is not only a tracker but a bomb also. Our plant is trying to buy us some time so we should do things as quick as possible."

"It seems, keeping him here will cause us more problems, if though we might want to hack into the tracker's system that might take us a lot of time," said Kali after a deep sigh. (Feeling uneasy) "Damn, that guy I thought he was just an ordinary doctor, how about if we put another tracker on him?"

"That makes sense but that would cause confusion, also the person who gave him the tracker I'm sure won't be stupid enough not to find out."

"Hacker when you brought him in here did, he have a cell phone on him?" Asked Ghost.

(Brought out of his deep thoughts) "Yes, I took it, it's in my room."

"Okay, so my suggestion is that we will give him Stars (Midnight's poison), then I want you to hack his phone and hack all devices connected to it as well as his accounts and give it back to him. That way we will have control over him."

"Does that mean you are letting him go?" Asked Kali.

"We have no option, this is an Eclipse mission, we had let our guard down, and to solve this issue we need to start over again, but using a different method."

"So, what's next exactly?" Asked Kali sounding worried.

"First, Hacker you go and check if he is awake, if yes, knock him out then give him Stars. Second, get his phone and do as I told you, Third, get Flo and Danger, make sure they are unconscious, and put them in a car that you and Kali will be in…"

"We are leaving this place?" Asked Kali.

"Of course, no one should know about our existence, I think people out there know about me but as for you guys, they don't, so I wouldn't want to drag you down with me. We have to move this place is no longer safe."

"But since Scar has a tracker on him, won't that put your life at risk?"

"Kali our lives have always been at risk, anyway, according to our plant we are 2 hours ahead of the police so we better be quick."

"LET'S MOVE," commanded Ghost.

"Yes boss," said Kali and Hacker as they proceeded to do just as they were instructed.

Hacker went into the room that Scar was in, that room had poor lighting, that is because the walls were painted with a very dark color and there was no window or anywhere that would give access to light. The person inside couldn't turn the light on because the switch was outside the room. He found Scar awake, he could tell because he had a torch in his hand and the torch's light was too bright that Scar wasn't able to see the other person's face properly. Scar wanted to stand and fight this person but then remembered that both his hands and feet were tied. Hacker didn't waste much time he knocked him down and also injected him with a drug. Scar's phone required a fingerprint to unlock it and Hacker went on and tried it on him and he finally managed to unlock it. He then gave the phone to Kali who was just finishing putting things in place including the security of their house as well as the cover (the cover is something that would prevent anyone to see that there was a door that would lead into the house).

"All set," said Hacker, putting Scar in the boot of the black Toyota that was in the garage.

"OPEN DARKNESS," said Ghost

Hacker didn't waste time, he pressed the red button that was on the remote he had in his hands, and it seemed like the wall on the opposite side was moving up, and once the door that seemed to be a wall was fully opened there was an opening that was so dark, and that opening led to the underground dark tunnels which had roads. Mostly these tunnels were used by smugglers, this wasn't known to a lot of people including the police. Ghost started the engine of the car, turned on the car's lights, and sped the car. The moment she was out of sight Hacker and Kali followed.

"Did boss tell you where we will go?" Asked Kali

"Not really but in times like these I'm sure you know the best location to go."

"Poor, woman she is trying, by all means, to fit in The Midnight's shoes but it is quite obvious that those shoes are so big for her."

"But at least she is trying, what I love is her courage to tackle a mission that is so complicated as this also she is very loyal, cold, and kind." Said Hacker, taking the left route with his eyes glued on the road.

(Pursing her lips) "Are you trying to make your wife jealous?"

(Shrugging) "Don't get your hopes up you are a fake wife."

"You know, back there I thought, boss Ghost was going to just take Scar and let us play husband and wife again just like old times, I miss that..."

"What exactly did you miss?"

"What do you think?"

(Chuckling) "Your mind is always in the gutter, that place isn't supposed to be someone's home, it's meant for buildings like storage, factories, and garages. If the police found out that we are staying there, don't you think it will be more suspicious? By now you and I will be playing husband and wife in jail or we will be under their surveillance until they are satisfied that we are innocent."

What Hacker had said made sense such that, Kali didn't say a word about anything until they reached their destination. They were heading to the North side, where there were too many woods and a lot of mountains. They were heading to their third base which was also at the mountain top, this was the safest location ever. On the other side, Ghost drove like a maniac heading straight, that direction led her into the deep woods, the moment she reached the center of the deepest part, she wore a mask, got out of her car, and dropped Scar. She then took another route, sped back to the tunnels using another different route, and then took the left route in the tunnels as she headed to the third base. She did so because she had noticed someone was following her and only a person who was familiar with the tunnels would be able to catch up. The moment she got into the tunnels the person couldn't follow anymore.

The plant that was put by Midnight at Sunrise police station wasn't able to keep on delaying the search team anymore, that is because the moment Ghost began to move with Scar in her car, the same person who had leaked the tracker informed the police that the victim was on the move but he couldn't tell the location. So, they couldn't delay any longer, another team headed to Midnight's second base and another was just deployed to search everywhere. They got to Midnight's second base and found the door of the garage locked, fortunately, they had a team that was capable to unlock the door. They got in but found nothing except for a small latest Honda fit, 3 black motorbikes, and some tools to repair both cars and motorbikes. This got the police frustrated and disappointed because nothing seemed to be off in this garage that they had just broken into, they went back empty-handed again. Fortunately, the other team received a call from someone anonymous and that person gave them Scar's right location.
