Arci tried to unlock the cuff desperately but to no avail.
She looked to her left and saw oil on the table.
She rolled towards there and picked the oil from the table.
She unscrewed it and poured the oil on her hand where the handcuff is.
She rubbed it together and tried to pull her hand out of the cuff.
One
Two
Go
She muttered under her breath
And pull it strongly.
She successfully pulled her hand out of the cuff.
She smiled happily but didn't dare to waste time, she hurriedly took her suitcase and walked out of the room.
She walked towards the elevator.
The elevator door opened revealing Richard's face, she quickly ran away.
"Hey, don't run away, '' Richard yelled as he desperately tried to stop the elevator.
She ran towards the staircase.
She ran to the second building.
Richard followed her.
She saw a man figure in the second building walking into a room, it was the man she saw at the elevator.
She quickly ran towards him.
The man was about to close the door when she quickly pushed the man in and closed the door breathing heavily.
Richard got to The second building but he couldn't find any traces of her.
He walked back upstairs to his room.
He picked up his suitcase and opened it. But it was not his belongings that were there, it was hers.
She picked up the wrong suitcase because their suitcase both look alike.
"F**k" He cursed in a low voice
….
"Don't move"
She looked back and she saw that she was pointed with a gun, her back stiffened.
"Protect the Marshal" The soldiers yelled.
There were up to ten soldiers in the room, which means his father's position in the military must be high.
"Marshal?" She said,
Arci looked at the familiar face in her front.
She tried to remember where she knew him from, then she remembered that she played Violin with him when she was young, he was her childhood friend.
"Bremo?" She smiled softly at him.
Bremo gestured to the soldiers to put their guns down.
"Arci?" He replied.
"Bremo" She said as she ran towards him and hugged him.
She missed him a lot, he is like her twin brother. They loved playing together when she was young before she traveled out of the country.
"It's really you. I thought I was dreaming. When did you get back in town " Bremo said softly.
"I just arrived in California. I've not seen you for a very long time, you have become a lot handsome now". Arci teased him.
"It's been ten years. You've really grown up. Why did you never write to me?"
"Is the man in the elevator your husband?"
"He is not my husband. He kidnapped me".
"Kidnapped you?"
"Go and check the man" He ordered the soldiers behind.
"Yes," the soldier replied and quickly left.
Bremo leads Arci to the couch.
"Sit down. Coffee?" He asked.
"Yes," she replied.
Bremo smiled and helped her to make a cup of coffee.
He gave her the coffee and sat down beside her.
The soldier sent to check up Richard soon came back.
"He is gone" He told him.
"We searched the whole hotel and didn't find him"
Bremo took a sip of his coffee and put it on the table
"He fled really fast. Arci, Why did he kidnap you?"
"We were on the same hotel not far from the airport he kidnapped me because I saw him kill his woman"
"Killed his woman"
Arci nodded.
"Do you know who he is?"
"No not really, but I Heard the man picking him up call him Marshal, Perhaps he is a military man"
….
"Drey, Drey," Richard called out as he passed through the window and entered Drey's office.
"Marshal, what brings you here I thought we are meeting by this evening?" He asked for surprise written all over his face.
"We don't have time, that girl is gone taking my suitcase with her. The deployment map for the mutiny is in the suitcase" he said breathlessly
"What?"
"What's worse she might run into Albert Latino men"
"You mean that girl who took the deployment map working for the military governor's office?"
"That's the worst scenario"
"I asked you to kill her but you just won't, Now we are done for"
"You are going to get me killed, If Albert sees this"
"Calm down, listen we can still turn the tide, I've got an idea".
" Say it "
"Albert Latino Flight just pulled into California, even if the girl that was taken away. The news can't reach his hearing that fast"
"So, our only option now is to start the mutiny ahead of schedule" Richard smiled coldly.
"Are you kidding? Do you think the mutiny is a joke?"
Drey already started regretting collecting his bribe.
"I never go to war unprepared, Drey Are you prepared?" Richard smirked.
…
"Marshal, the military general plane has arrived. It is time to head out to the Lincoln mansion" One of the soldiers protecting Bremo informed him.
Bremo stood up from the chair.
"Okay, Let's set out now, we can also take Arci home along with us".
'It has been ten years, I am finally coming home. What will be in store for me?'
….
Drey office
"Let's do it tonight," Richard said.
Since he already entered the hole, he has to continue no matter what.
Every corner is blocked for him.
If he returns Richard money and benefits, If Military General Albert found out, he will be fired.
If they succeeded in the mutiny then his life will never remain the same.
But if they don't succeed, he will be dead.
"No we cannot, The priority is finding the girl to prevent the leak of our plans" Drey said
"No, we must presumptive action, everything will be too late once Albert Latino finds out"
