Chereads / STEEL, BLOOD AND LOVE / Chapter 48 - Heist.

Chapter 48 - Heist.

The ship is flying for its first time in years above royal territory.

"Why Ferdin's lord domain?"

Hunter laughs hearing what Robin asked. "Ferdin's domain also has the most space traffic in the universe." Robin looks at the navigation table. "What are we after?"

"We are after a safe, we can also steal everything we find, but the safe it's precious, it contains over 50 million credits, {valued to the 2023 inflation, around 44 billion american dollars} Today is sunday, 80% of the guards are off for today because it's a free day, and only substitutes are in today. What's the time?"

"8 am, why?" Hunter smiles. "Perfect, there is also gonna be an alliance ship there, send your best members of the crew there, it's a high reward." Hunter gets up from the chair. "Go pick the people, we are going to be there soon, tell them the plan, we settled on." Robin nods her head and walks away to tell the crew what are they gonna do.

Talia looks at Hunter, she feels something she never felt before, "Is this love?" She said in her head, not knowing what this feeling is. She plays with her hair, still watching him.

"Hunter!" She said his name out loud, "Why did I say it!" She wanders.

"Yes?" Hunter looks where he believes she is, he looks to an empty chair. "I wandered, have you ever thought of ever getting married again?" Hunter moves his head to the right and now she is vaguely looking in the direction where Talia is. "What's with this question all of the sudden?" Hunter shrugs and gets up. "I need you at your 100% get your mask and prepare yourself." She takes a face mask from the table and places it on her face.

"What about you?" Hunter shakes his head, he grabs a mask from his pocket, made out of silk and puts it on. "I traveled the Kalvarii desert, this is a treasure there" She looks amazed at what mask he has. The mask it's subtle and covers any facial feature, it doesn't have eyes, and it looks like he could easily breathe through it.

They get out from the navigation room to the main deck. "Are they filled in?" Robin nods. "She nodded." Hunter bows in respect towards Talia for saying that. "Alright, et arrival?" asked robin "45 seconds, I'd recommend you to put on your masks and get ready for boarding."

The crew started hustling, putting masks on and getting ready with their weapons, the ship instantly brakes, noise is heard outside, the guards unexpecting this ship entering. "Who might this be?" Another guard shrugs. "Open the door!" The door opens and the pirates storm on the guards, knocking them out. They ran and started attacking other guards and plundering the ships.

"Let the small ones go for the golden one!" Said Hunter, he walks forward. "Captain, T. Follow me!" The 3 Run inside the building, they storm through the building and reach the main office, the door locked. Hunter brakes the door open with a good applied foot on the door knob. They entered the office and looked for the safe. He grabbed the painting of a wall, the painting was of lord Fredin. A man on a stallion.

It had an electric output. "What now?" Asked Robin, Hunter does a code that overrides the safe and opens it. "Grab everything you can!" He leaves the room while the two fill the bags with credits.

He holds guard to the door. 7 Guards appeared out of nowhere. "He is one of them to get him away from the office!" One of them shouted.

He holds his stick "A corridor scene like in the old John Wick movies!" He said in his head. He hits one in the head, and another in the balls, he hits the same guy in the chest and then head.

He hit another one on the head, and pushed him into the wall, he swiftly moved to the right, tripping another guard. He kicks the guard's nuts and moves forward in the corridor.

From inside the office is heard a ruckus, the two don't know what Hunter does outside but they know he is having fun. "So what do you think about Hunter?" Asked Talia.

"I see him as a father, and don't expect me to hit on a 37+ guy, I am 17." The bags full of credits and the safe empty they exit the office. Seeing Hunter looking like one of those movie heroes standing in a dim light of the corridor with the guards heavily injured on the ground.

"Let's go!" He said. The 3 run back to the docks and see the crew grabbing valuables from the ship he said they should rob. "Hurry people, the king's guards are gonna come soon!"

The crew moves swiftly inside the ship with the valuables inside and fly off.

10 minutes later, Theodore alongside the king's guard stormed the docks. He looks at the damage these pirates have done. "Do a 50 kilometer scan, we need to find them."
