Chapter Eighty-Six

Chapter Eighty-Six
Jason

When we got to the warehouse, there was no car insight, it looks like her people were only there to deliver the girls and go. In fact it looked like there was no life at all. We could just walk in guns blazing and take the girls. We knew better though because we had an inside person or more like an inside fly. There are no cameras inside or outside the building and it is also far from civilization. We rode for an hour to get here, in this dilapidated building that's surrounded by nothing but trees.

From our spy fly, the girls are safe but hurt. Desiree looked battered, with a gush on her forehead, she hasn't opened her eyes since we've had eyes on them. She is breathing though from the movements on her chest we noted. Olivia is also alive, and like Desiree she also has a gash although it's in her cheek. She's been in and out of consciousness but right now she is out. After we get them out, there's a medical team awaiting back at the hotel to look at them.

Dimitri is walking towards the entrance with two guys flanking him. The others have surrounded the place to make sure there will be no surprises. The door is wide open and and just straight forward him lie two bodies on the floor, a third person is standing just next to the bed. She knew we were coming. She's been expecting us. Which makes me wonder if she knows me at all.

She says something to Dimitry then laughs as he stops walking. My guess is that she threatened his wife or said something about her. He looks down next to her at the women on the floor again then turns and faces the door, walking away.

The plan was for him to put his left hand behind him to let us know if we can close in. I suspect what she said made him change his mind. He's in pain. We watch him walk out and towards the car with no one following behind him. I know this girl is not stupid, I have a feeling she knows exactly what she's doing. It's too bad she doesn't know me and that I know what I'm doing.

"I'm going in. I have a feeling we've been made." I say already getting out of the car.
"I will be your backup. I don't trust this girl." Lorenzo says.

I've been asking myself if he's the boss, especially because he only gave me a name with no last name. We pass Dimitri on our way in and the look on his face tells me it's worse than we thought. I run into the building and I'm immediately hit by a foul smell. Like rotten eggs, but I know we'll enough that it's the smell of old blood. Meaning that this is actually a torture house.

"You know, it I knew Dimitri had you as a friend, maybe I would tried my luck with you. Now look at what I've done." She says and then he laughs.
"Unfortunately I'm a one woman man. Now, I either come pick up those two ladies in peace or your goons and I will be making a party in here. And that will mean one of us dies, I'm not ready to die." I tell her standing only a few steps from her.
"Nah, you are not walking any closer to me. And my goons will hurt you if you decide to hurt me. Where is that weak friend of yours anyway?" She says and laughs like a maniac.

As much as I don't want them hurt, I walk closer to her slowly. Lorenzo walks with me every step, he's been quiet all this time and I'm wondering if he is assessing the situation. Candice reaches behind her and comes back holding a gun and I stop. I was expecting one of her guys to do it.

"Move any closer and there will be a second body bag going out tonight." As she says that, I realise that's what she told Jason. He thinks his wife is dead.
"What are you talking about?" I play along her game.

The spy fly would have alerted us if Desiree died. Although she has lost a lot of blood and needs medical attention fast. Which is why I'm in a hurry to get both of them out before it's too late.

"Oh, he didn't tell you? Well that doesn't surprise me, he has always loved hiding things. His wife is dead, along with the little shit she was carrying.'' There is so much venom in her voice, it would compete with a Viper's.
"Is that what you wanted? Her out of the way?" I ask her wanting to know her motive

As we both speak, I keep on getting closer to her slowly without moving much. It's a good thing we came with back up, because the guys that were hidden up there would have shot at me.

"Well she would have died eventually. But no, I want him on his knees infront of me. But he's always had so much pride that I knew the only way was to take away the one thing he's always wanted, his child." She continues spitting her venomous words.

She's so concentrated on her hate of Dimitri that she hasn't noted she left all alone or that I'm closer to her than I was before. I'm not scared of walking closer faster right now though, the only thing that is keeping me here is that she's still holding a gun. She's volatile, which makes her dangerous. But then again, there's two of us here. I'm more scared that she'd turn the gun on the two passed out bodies next to her.

I hear a shot from behind me and hear the woman infront of me scream as she lands on her knees. When I look back behind me, I see Dimitri standing there with a gun. I was wondering when he'd get over himself and come back for his wife. Dead or not, I would never leave my wife when I know I'm the only one she has if I loved her, and I know that he loves her.

Lorenzo and I run towards the ladies and pick them up as carefully as we can then rush out to find the cars infront of the building. Immediately after we shut the doors behind us the car starts moving. I guess this is not their first rescue mission. As we get closer to town, the car stops in the middle of the road and Lorenzo tells me to hurry towards the waiting helicopter, because it's faster.

There were already waiting doctors when we landed on the hotel roof. They got to work immediately when we put the girls on the garneys. I went to check if the kids were still ok. The girl we came with immediately asked me if Olivia was ok. The kids were ok, they were even playing. I then went back to wait outside the room they used to treat the girls.
