_Andrea Jess Collins's Point of View_
I almost chuckled when I heard Irene reasoning out to Aunt Irina over the phone.
Aunt Irina really dislikes the fact that we're doing risky missions, not that we can actually blame her since even my mom gets worried.
Well, it's not that they can do anything about it, this stuff runs deep in the family.
"Don't think of laughing at me, bitch." Irene hissed from the earpiece
"But that was freaking hilarious," I said and I heard her hissing
"Focus, AJ, B," Chelsea said in a warning tone
"Sorry, C," we both said and we heard Chelsea's sigh
"I'm near the location," I told them when I saw the familiar car the drone is following
"Wait for the police," Jace said from the earpiece
Oh, shit!
We forgot that Jace is included in this mission too.
We stayed in the car, we'll just help when we are needed.
A little later, the police cars arrived and none of them is using the police siren, perhaps to avoid alerting the suspects that they are following.
When their chief went down, the sirens suddenly started echoing around the place.
I checked the time on my phone. It's 2 PM so I took a sandwich and juice from the backseat and began eating.
I saw Irene parking diagonally to where I parked.
"Where are you now, Jace?" Irene asked and a little later, Jace's car stopped beside the police cars
He's still part of the police after all.
"Give up. We have you surrounded." I heard their chief announce with a megaphone
Some of the police officers entered the place so I used one of the drones to see what is happening.
"AJ, share the drone footage with us," Chelsea said so I gave them access to the drone's footage.
They surrounded the abandoned building while several officers are already going in.
Suddenly, loud gunshots echoed in the area.
I checked the footage from the micro cam, I saw the room where Lavalee is currently being held is peaceful, and not a sign of intrusion was made and the men guarding her are playing some kind of card game.
I manipulated another drone to go and see Lavalee's situation.
Lavalee is tied to a chair, her eyes are blindfolded, and there's electric tape on her mouth. Her feet are tied to the chair while her hands are tied behind her.
"What's the report, Jace?" Chelsea asked
"We're on guard," Jace said
I quickly finished what I was eating, and after fixing my things, I went out of the car.
I saw Irene going out of her car as well, I made sure I brought my tablet with me as I went out.
"C, I need to access the footage on my tablet," I said and after a while, a notification appeared on my tablet's screen and I accessed the footage
"Irene?! Jess?!" Caspian panicked when he saw us approaching
It took the attention of the other police officers, some looked surprised while some looked worried and irritated because of our presence.
Excuse me, don't look at us like we're going to be a nuisance, if anything you're the nuisance.
You won't even be taking part in this if not for us, duh.
"What are you doing here?" one of them asked
"Lavalee's our best friend. We can't just sit not doing anything." I said and crossed my arms
"I thought you would stay at the mansion?" Elijah asked and he's looking at Irene
"Says who? You're the only one thinking that." Irene said
"Irene, come on," Elijah complained with a knotted forehead
"It's your fault. You hung up on me. I was supposed to tell you but since you hanged up I didn't." Irene said in a bored manner
Geez.
The other officers will soon notice something different about their connection if they continue acting that way.
"Stay here," Jace told us
We're about to contradict but he runs inside.
"I'll rescue her," Jace said so I leaned on one of the cars and watched Jace move through my tablet.
"What is that?" I looked at Caspian who's looking at me.
I showed him the footage and it shows the encounter that's currently happening inside.
"Officer Luar, Officer Sandoval, watch over them. We are going in," their chief, Jace's uncle, ordered
We sat on the hood of the police car, it's not like we would be at risk in places like this.
"Why are you here?" Caspian asked us
"We can't leave Lavalee, Caspian," Irene said with a crossed arm
"Didn't we already have a plan? Why are you deviating from the plan?" Irene and I averted our gaze when Elijah asked that.
They'll freak out if they found out that we don't really have a plan. All Lavalee told us were the objectives and her first move and everything else rely on us.
"It's part of the plan," Irene mumbled
"Huh? What do you mean it's part of the plan?" they asked us confusedly
I retained my gaze on the screen of my tablet. Suddenly, I received a report from the drones so I began typing quickly on the air with my holograms.
"Jace shouldn't be the only one to act. Backups are coming," I told them and their eyes widened
Caspian pulled out a radio and reported to their chief, well, he shouldn't have reported it.
"I think Frost found out what happened and sent backups," I said and they looked more shocked
"Damn! I thought it was the enemy's, it turned out to be ours." Elijah said which made us chuckle.
"Don't worry, I already told Chelsea to deal with them. She already assured Frost so there's no need for us to worry about anything." I said and Caspian contacted their chief through the radio again
I suddenly winced in pain because of the frequency of the sounds that I'm hearing. I removed my earpiece and I saw Irene doing it too.
"What happened?" Caspian and Elijah asked us worriedly
"Frequencies," Irene said and pointed at the earpiece on her ear
I tried to open the holograms but it seems like there's no signal. I looked at Irene and she tried to do the same, our black-colored nails suddenly turned white meaning we lost connection.
"Your nails changed color, that's cool," Elijah said but it made us worried
I opened my phone and there was not a single damn bar in the signal.
"Signal jammer," Irene said and pointed at the dish on top of the warehouse.
I checked my tablets and my drones were showing nothing but glitches.
"So, how is it?" she asked and I shook my head before handing her my tablet
"Fuck! How about the laptops?" she asked and we left the dumbfounded guys
I went to my car and checked my PC. My PC isn't showing anything, yeah we have our own small satellite but damn the signal's jammed. I checked all the footage, and nothing weird. I played the footage on rewind from Lavalee's micro camera and my eyes widened when I saw what it was.
I rushed out and showed the footage to Irene using my laptop.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I asked and she nodded
Our nails are still color white meaning there's no connection and without the connection and signal, we're going to have a hard time.
"Let's go," I said and went back to my car.
I left my tablet and PC in the car and then took a pair of leather gloves and a half mask. We can't leave fingerprints or any clues that could be traced back to us. It will only put all of us in trouble.
"What's the plan?" I asked her when we met near the police cars
"Obliterate whoever gets in the way. The objective?" she said
"Restore the signal. Destroy the jammer. Help," I answered and we ran to the abandoned building in opposing directions.
We're going to enter the abandoned building without the knowledge of any officer.
I removed my whip from my belt and whipped it on the floor.
Two people saw me entering so I immediately whipped them.
I whipped them thrice and they winced in pain before I threw a small acid tablet on their skin.
Because of the blood in their wounds from my whip, the acid tablets slowly dissolved and it tormented them.
I don't know the floor plan of this abandoned building, I am just going to use my instincts.
