Kiarra stared intently at the middle-aged man but couldn't recognise him. The man gave off a deathly presence like someone who has walked over a lot of corpse.
"Um...sir...may I ask why you are keeping me here" Monica asked with no trace of fear in her eyes.
'Sigh' the middle-aged man let out a deep sigh before staring at Monica with a complicated look without responding.
He stayed there for about 10 minutes before he left. Monica didn't see him nor any of the masked men until 7 in the evening when they brought her a simple dinner.
She was placed in a sitting position with an arm and both legs tied. She definitely knew she had been kidnapped so the last thing she would want to do was to eat anything they gave her.
Mr Claire, his secretary,Drake and the persistent Max landed around 11PM at a courtyard in Country C. Their flight took approximately 6 hours. They departed to a place closer to the warehouse with a few bodyguards and some necessities they prepared beforehand.
They couldn't carelessly approach the warehouse as they had no idea who they were up against or the strength of their enemies so the settled in a remote town close to the warehouse.
They scouted the whole warehouse and had a rough estimate on their enemies strength. They were roughly a 100 guards within 5 kilometres of the warehouse and several disguised outlets by the road side which they also suspected as one of the abducters.
They made a plan to go undercover as a sales person for one of the outlet. Their target was an old mad who only had a son about 16 years of age. They got an intel the old man lived three houses from the warehouse and would be guarding the warehouse late midnight so that was close enough to their target.
Drake decided to go as the man while Max the boy. They did a little makeover and put on some old and tattered clothes to portray their characters well.
Mr Claire's secretary would be used as a distraction to buy some time while some other member of the team would be ready at any time to pull out the old man and his son while Drake and Monica would replace them.
The mission was a very risky one as they were in another's territory and any slight carelessness could lead to their doom so they were very catious.
They proceeded as planned after Max and Drake were ready. The secretary behaved like a begger who was in desperate need of food so he stole an item an ran in the opposite direction of their target. Every single person on that street were hired thug so they were well aware of what to do so the victim(owner of stolen product) played along and chased after the secretary with a few colleagues following behind.
It was time...Drake sneaked into their target's shop using the night as cover and flawlessly knocked them unconscious without harming either of them.
The young boy was quite skilled for his age. He was able to hold his ground with Drake far longer than the disguised man but was still knocked unconscious by Drake. Max quickly filled in and they left with their disguise to their allocated positions for the night.
By now it was already 12:15AM and they had very little time with them so they hurried to the warehouse while maintaining their disguises.
Mr Claire and his team were also able to advance a few kilometres forward. They couldn't proceed any further because the more the progressed the tighter the security was so they were forced to stop temporarily.
The middle-aged man who was drinking in the warehouse stood up from his sitting position abruptly with a darkened expression. He has just received news theat Mr Claire arrived in Country C about an hour ago and he was likely in his vicinity.
How did they find him. His plan was flawless...he thought Kiarra's aunt would be able to buy their attention for at least three days before their boss would arrive but this was happening in less than 24 hours. How could this be...he thought to himself.
"Shawn...David...get the car...we are leaving for China right now" he screamed as he slammed his drink against the wall before rushing off to Monica's room.
Monica was very weak as she had only had a light breakfast yesterday but she still struggled to stay awake. She heard the hurried footsteps followed by the forceful opening of the door. She saw the same middle-aged man of before rush into the room with about five men following closely.
They rushed towards her then untied her before carrying her out with a blindfold on her face.
Drake just received news as the old man that they were moving because they were being located right now. Things has gotten so horrible so they were preparing to move to China immediately while all guards should be on alert.
Drake had a bad feeling about this so he instructed Mr Claire they had to move in immediately and informed him the situation they were in.
"Dammit..." Mr Claire cursed. 'How could they have figured out so quickly??'he thought to himself. Other than Martha and his family and some of his most trusted subordinate no one knew they had left County S so how did news leak?? He questioned.
