Chapter 52 - Jackpot

Adonis and Dracul soon arrives at Martel's.

On seeing the arrival of the elite squad look out, relieving the team currently sitting on Martel's home. Dracul and Adonis made their way to the door.

Dracul pressed the buzzer, this time a male answered the door, whom they easily recognized as Martel.

No sign of his sister.

"Ezif," Adonis wasted no time, he was interrupted for this after all.

Dracul easily slips in and Adonis follows. Then he turns a frozen unmoving Martel to face him and closes the door.

Adonis dove into Martel's mind as Dracul search the place and plant bugs.

Soon enough Adonis easily realizes he had hit the jackpot with Martel.

Martel's intel were sure and true, he also observe the difference between Martel and the others, was that Martel did not ask any questions. Not one.

He simply do what was asked of him, which seems to be a good quality to have. Beta Drew did not like when anyone questions him or the plans.

As such giving Martel access to everything, including where the witnesses' current location was.

They were out in the human world. As a matter of fact he just came from there. Dropping off some supplies.

At least they were being fed Adonis thought.

Martel suppose to return in the morning for his shift to look out along with a few others.

Adonis delve a bit further into Martel's memories. Turns out Martel was just an eager young man ready and willing to prove himself.

He wanted favor with the Demon King to be able to get an opportunity to show his skills and be considered for the Royal Elite Squad.

He chose to approach Beta Drew when a chance meeting arose. Things were on the right path as Beta Drew saw something in young Martel and took him under his wings.

Truly mentoring and training him, teaching him how to fight and use his strengths to his advantage. Adonis was impressed with both Beta Drew and Martel. Beta Drew had told him soon he would be ready and he will introduce him to the King. Martel was ecstatic. Then bam, out of nowhere, one day things went left.

Adonis wondered what changed for Beta Drew that made him turn like that. The Demon King felt some reassurance that his Beta was not always corrupted.

Because if not it begs to question his decision making.

But he couldn't help but wonder what changed?

Where did it all go wrong?

Nevertheless Adonis did not want to waste another minute here.

They retraced their steps and fled Martel's home after compeling him.

In the car ride Adonis told Dracul to take him to the tower whilst he was also on the phone making contact with the tower.

Soon the head Paul McLean picks up and Adonis gave him the address of the witnesses and orders a rescue team leave at once with the helicopter and that he was on his way to see the rescue through at the tower.

He want eyes and ears on this mission.

What a turn of events Adonis thought as he fills Dracul in.

He must admit, he had begun to lose hope. In actually getting a lead to the witnesses as he was down to the last suspect on the list and they were still chasing down assailants and rounding them up. They would get somewhere eventually.

There were no more suspects from that list. Martel was the last of that list.

Low and behold, as it turns out this truly was the Jackpot. They got the exact address of the witnesses. And so much more than he bargained for and it was all welcomed.

Adonis' mind then wandered on Diviya on the car ride to the tower.

Fingers crossed it will soon be over.

He hope she was getting that mani and pedi she wanted. He was disappointed when he had to leave her earlier. However with this turn of events he can surely now put this entire thing behind him. Hopefully.

Allowing him to focus on Diviya and the upcoming council visit.

Dracul drove straight to the entrance after being let in by the guards at the gate.

They parked quickly and made their way into the building straight to the command center, a tall glass building with over fifty floors. Command center being on the thirtieth floor.

Paul and Frank was already in there, Paul's the Head, a tall, built, strong Vampire. Brown hair and eyes a shade of honey.

And his Chief General, Frank Padmore same height and built and is a very strong and powerful werewolf. Jet black hair and a weird shade of blue eyes, almost white. An Alpha in his right, however he chose to serve as Chief General.

Both mated and happy.

"Tell me, where are we?" Adonis asks making his way over to the wall of footages.

This was a huge room, floor to ceiling windows, huge mahogany table in the center with a long line of chairs around it. Small tables off to the side with a couple of chairs around it, and area with comfy couches surrounding a coffee table, a beautiful fireplace, a bar area with a fridge and freezer, a coffee and tea station. Monitors were on a full wall. Bright lighting.

"The team have assembled and is in the air, their eta now three hours out, we also have a team on land as well. They moved out in the jeeps. However their eta is around the same maybe less." Paul spoke up.

Paul had granted use of the transportation technology for the team on land, giving them a booster. Saving them that six hour drive out to the human world.

The Royal Elite Squad are the only ones allowed to use this technology. This technology allows for a portal to be formed transporting one anywhere on earth. Simply by opening up said portal via an advance technology created and driving through it.

They mostly aim for remote areas in the human world to enter where there were little to no chance of being seen.

Truly saving precious time and this is only allowed in excruciating circumstances.

The team on land should be arriving almost simultaneously with the team in the air. Maybe even before.

"And don't worry the team on land is merely just back up. They won't keep back the air team in anyway. The air team should be arriving first most likely and they are going to scope things out. Not to mention they would need to park a little way off and go some on foot."

"And this in turn will give the team on land ample time to catch up and join in, attacking abductors and rescuing the witnesses." Adonis finishes, in agreement with the plan.

He sat at the chair at the head of the huge table that's in the middle of the command room.

He made himself comfortable as he watched the footage of the men on land and in the air. Watching all that their camera is showing them at the moment.

Dracul stroll to the left corner and looks out the window, while glancing at the footage ever so often and the other two in the room chattered on.

Adonis was eagerly and patiently waiting. This is a real breakthrough for them and he hope the two witnesses are at the same location and was not moved with in the last few hours.

Also his stomach was in knots as he waited, he was in here sitting doing absolutely nothing and not out there in the field. It was as it should be however he just wanted to wrap this up as quickly as possible.

He decided to request a meeting with the team currently tracking down all known assailants.

While they wait Adonis wanted something to do, so he was led to one of the rooms located not far from the one they were all currently in.

In there was a huge screen split into several monitors, same as in the command center. But this room was much smaller.

There were rows of tables, chairs, phones and computers. And the room was filled and buzzing with people.

Who was on the phone, who was currently tracking, who was currently hacking computers for anything incriminating. Who was looking into their pass history, who was writing on a white board. I mean it was full on investigation mode in here.

Adonis was use to this, he was actually proud to see what was taking place. Everyone in action, working in-sync with one single purpose in mind.

Tracking down these assailants and gaining as much incriminating evidence against them as possible. To take to the public for their executions.

He was briefed by a young man named Alistair Bowen. Details on the evidence gathered.

With all the details Adonis was able to pass onto the Elite Squad from all the mind diving he did, they were able to easily pin point pertinent areas to look into in their lives. Thus gathering a lot of evidence against them. Camera footage of meetings from a particular restaurant they frequent. Camera across the street from the gas station one might use and said gas station itself most time have footage. And it goes on.

However what Adonis truly came to find out, was if anything led them to the one in charge.

To his dismay, it did not.
