Chapter 8
Saturday, 10:45am
Each person selected for the mission quicky got dressed and headed to the arena. They took out all the weapons they would be needing.
A vehicle was provided which will convey them to the place. The vehicle arrived in time, so they left early.
Each person was dressed casually, but fully armed.
Anissa sat at the back, with Murphy and Noah by her sides.
She was with the map, and is expected to work alongside with Noah.
They both studied the map together,once again

About thirty minutes later, they arrived at the island where the ship was gonna sail off from.
The vehicle parked outside, as they all got down from it
" It's time to go in" Anissa said, looking at her watch
It was some minutes past eleven.
" But we can't all just go in; so, we are gonna go in pairs" she said, and asked each person to choose their partners.
They all did, Murphy wanted to pair with her, but knows he couldn't. He went ahead to pair with someone else.
They all went in, giving a little gap of about five minutes each
Anissa and Noah were the last to go in
" Where do you think we should sit?" Noah asked her as they walked into the ship.
" Close to the window" Anissa pointed. They walked there and took their sit.
Anissa's Pov;
I sat down with Noah close to the window. We both quickly placed our earbuds in our ears.
I asked the person in charge of the weapons, and was told it has been kept safely, in the mini room.
Each person, has found a suitable place to stay in.
We were just waiting for the right time to strike.
I checked the time again. 11:55am; it reads.
Just few minutes left.
I went over the plan again in my head.
We are to take the briefcase from Mr Jacobs, after drugging him. Two female will disguise as a ship attendant and go to his room, drug the wine he'll be having and alert I and Noah to come get the briefcase.
As soon as we are done taking it, I'll alert the others to go get the weapons; and then, we'll all go to the back of the ship and put on our life coats before diving into the water.
We are to swim back to the island, and back to the vehicle which will still be outside waiting for us .
This is the plan; easy but hard.
" Ship's about to sail" I pressed the button on my earbud to inform the others
Some Navy officers walked pass us, heading to their rooms.
Few minutes after they had walked passed us, a ship attendant walked to us - a very pretty girl.
She was dressed in an all white attire, which she crowned with her beautiful smile. She has a killer curve, which didn't fail to show, despite the fact she was in a uniform
" What would you like to have?" she asked straightforwardly
" A bottle of wine please" Noah said the same thing on my mind.
" Which?" she asked
" Tequila preferably" Noah replied again
She nodded and left and came back some minutes later with the wine and two glasses.
Noah thanked her, flashing her a very cute smile. She smiled back and walked away
Noah opened the wine and poured a large quantity into his glass, and mine
He gulped down half of the content in the glass.
What's wrong with this guy? Isn't he aware we are here on a mission?
Is he planning to get drunk? I asked inwardly
" Easy with the drinking" I chided, picking mine up.
" Mr Jacobs has arrived" some one informed me.
I turned to look at the cabin at the left hand side. A man was walking towards out dircetuon.
As expected, he was with a briefcase; and there were two guards at his sides.
He walked to a table first and shook hands with some men there, they exchanged pleasantries before he continued his walk to his cabin
"Is he in yet?" I asked, and the person that was close answered with a YES
" Good. He'll order for wine soon; you all know what to do" I said, and turned to look at Noah who hadn't stopped drinking.
I angrily snatched the bottle of wine from him and placed it somewhere far from him

" The coast is clear" a voice said.
I smiled getting the message.
" We gotta go Noah" I Informed him
He nodded and we both got up, heading to the man's cabin.
We took the path and arrived there. His two guards were there.
" Need some help with the guards" I communicated.
Noah and I stood close by, acting as though we were lovers who had excused themselves to come resolve a misunderstanding.
Two of our members walked out of the other route.
They walked to the guards and acted as though they wanted to discuss with them; and within the twinkle of an eye - they held their necks and snapped them out, dragging their bodies to a hidden place. They stood in their places.
I signalled Noah immediately and we walked to the door. We opened it and went in.
Mr Jacobs was on the bed, his suit has been taken off, and he looks almost lifeless.
The room was neat and tidy.
I snapped out of it and set to work immediately - searching all over for the briefcase.
Seems he's gone to hide it.
Damn!!
We were running out of the scheduled time.
" Nissa, what's going on there?" that was Murphy
" I dunno Murphy. We are still looking for the briefcase" I told him
" Okay, hurry up then. The rest of us are already at the back of the ship - just waiting for the four of you" he said.
I groaned and searched harder.
Where had he kept it?
" What's taking you guys to long?" I heard another voice, and before I could fathom who it was, he spoke up again
" A Navy officer just passed" he said again, and I figured it was one of the guards.
" We are still trying to look for the briefcase. Seems he has hidden it" I Said
" Just hurry up" he groaned and hung up
" There Nissa" Noah said, pointing to a small locker close to the mini table.
I wasted no time in rushing to it. I tried to open it but it was locked
" Damn!! it's locked" I told Noah.
He looked round and then rushed to Mr Jacobs. He turned him to his side and searched his pickets. He searched the first and there was nothing, and then the second.
There it was - the key. He threw it to me. I caught it immediately and rushed back to the locker.
We were running on out of time.
I hasteningly opened it and, was so happy and relieved to find the briefcase was in it - in one piece.
I brought it out and locked the locker, throwing the key back to Noah who played it back in Mr Jacobs pocket.
I opened the briefcase, and smiled satisfactory to find the right things in it.
" Let's go" I said to Noah. We hurried out of the room.
We got out and rushed to meet the others. The other two ran with us also.
We quickly changed into our life coats and started diving into the water, one after the other.
Noah and I were the last to dive in, and before we did; we heard one of the flight attendant, raising an alarm to the others about Mr Jacobs.
Shit! They've discovered. We better hurry.
We went deep down into the water, and swam back, just the same way the ship started sailing
We all came ashore and a loud noise was heard immediately
" Over there. Over there" We heard shouts. Some Navy officers on the ship were pointing at us.
They finally find us; but too late
Many dived Into the water also, coming after us in a hot chase
We ran as fast as our legs could carry us and got to the vehicle on time.
We hurried in, taking our seats.
Just as the driver turned round, and started driving, we looked back to see the Navy officers were out already.
They stopped running when they figured they had lost us already
Shouts of victory filled the vehicle immediately, as I smiled in fulfillment.
Dang!! That was so close.
I breathed out in relief as I took out a towel to dry my hair with.

We arrived and went straight to the arena, where Rhoko and Regard were already waiting for us.
We walked in, as I stepped forward to present the briefcase to them
Regard was the one that came forward to collect it.
He opened it and I could see a smile crept into his face
" Good job guys. Master would be so pleased" he said and we were dismissed
I rushed to my room, to tidy up myself and also get something to eat.
I was so exhausted.
