CHAPTER 337
Mr. Lawrence felt insulted by Alan’s words but he didn't want to lose his composure. He knew that the best way of dealing with Alan was not inflicting him with pain. Inflicting him with pain would do him some damage but first letting him watch either Della or Brody suffer would be more interesting, he reasoned.Mr. Lawrence’s men had spread across the whole hut. The operatives’ dual-layered presence secured the underground hideout and the mud house simultaneously.Mr. Lawrence’s smile was a facade, masking the sinister thoughts that were brewing in his mind. “Alan, you should know by now that I know how to make you so afflicted with pain you would wish you were never born.”“Don’t think I would do anything just yet. I am a very experimental person.”“I see Della and I have to confess that she is an elegant lady. Just like Rose was.”“What if you would care for her so much so as not to want any harm come to her, hmm? What if? I like to think deeply.”Della blurted out, irritated with
CHAPTER 336
Before Della’s question could escape her mouth, the men moved fast, binding Della with ropes and restraining her to a chair just at the corner of the room.The underground space had a low ceiling, forcing the team of operatives to duck as they navigated through the cramped earthy space. The sound of dripping water also echoed through the cavern.With all her might, Della wrestled against the ropes, but the more she wrestled the more hopeless the situation was.“Get these ropes off me,” Della yelled, her voice echoing through the air. Mr. Lawrence’s face was round and jovial, his eye dancing in a deadly movement of merriment. He was loving what he was seeing - Della being tied to a chair and hopelessly struggling like a rat caught in its trap.“I said, get these ropes off me!” Della yelled, her tone firm and authoritative. “I am going to force you to drink your own urine when the tables turn.”Mr. Lawrence, who knew that Della had nothing but empty threats continued his evil chuckle,
CHAPTER 335
“What are they talking about. Don’t take us on another expedition. I think we have already —-” Mr. Lawrence responded, not willing to have any more disappointments.“No boss. This seems real. Check the floor, sir. We are standing right above an underground passage.”“What are you saying?” Mr. Lawrence asked.“Boss, the guys we are looking for could very well be here.”Mr. Lawrence watched keenly as wooden planks, once part of the floor now revealed a secret passage.The captain’s sharp eye had detected a hidden wooden lid and he knew at once that Alan and his men were there at that moment.“Alright, go for it,” Mr. Lawrence instructed, realizing that the men who led them there might have been right after all.The captain and his men adjusted their weapons in readiness.“Captain, I am in position. Ready to pry open the lid on your signal.”“Alright, let’s move.”“Make sure our six is covered. Everyone move now!”“Got it, captain.”“Let’s go. Agent 1, slowly lift the hatch. This must be
CHAPTER 334
“Are you sure it's not you? Then let me smell you. Come closer so I can smell you and be sure that you are not the rat.”Mr. Lawrence inhaled deeply, as if searching for a scent of betrayal or deceit. He savored the operatives’ discomfort and fear.“Hmm, amazingly you don't smell like a stinking rat.”“Let me move to someone else. We must find the rat.”All of the operatives had their faces flushed with shame as they all knew that none of them was completely free of a possible accusation from the boss. Their hearts sank with guilt and dread under the boss’s accusatory demeanor.Mr. Lawrence turned to another operative, his sniffing gesture now becoming a ritual.He pierced an accusatory look into the operative. “Hfff, hfff, you stink!”“Captain, come and see. I think this one must surely be the rat.”The operative’s embarrassment reached a boiling point as his bladder trembled in the weight of his anxiety.“I am—not—Sir, I am not the rat,” the operative trembled, his face burned with
CHAPTER 333
The straw piles were under constant, wary surveillance at this point. The operatives were at that moment, 70 percent sure of capturing their targets.Mr. Lawrence's dark anticipation drew stronger, savoring the thrill of the hunt’s climax. He couldn't wait to have that fool under his grasp once again.His heart raced with wicked delight as he neared his objective.Back behind the straw piles, the targets held their breaths as they hoped for the worst.Every murmur from the operatives heightened their anxiety. They were closer to them than ever and danger loomed ever closer.Fred’s heart was racing, and Jackson felt like peeing in his pants. Della braced herself for the worst and Alan just bowed his head, hoping that some miracle was going to happen.The captured operative, Odito, whom Alan had expertly captured could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He thought about the fact that he would finally be vindicated when Mr. Lawrence finally recognised that it was because of him that they
CHAPTER 332
A faint noise drew his attention, halting his exit momentarily. His interest piqued the more his mind accessed that silent sound that he had heard.He was the only one on the ground floor at this time but before he took his exit, he felt it was best to trace where that sound had come from.The sound was very faint but unmistakable. The operative noticed that the straw piles that were at the side seemed slightly disheveled.Was it him being too inquisitive or was it normal that the straw piles seemed like a hideout? Was his mind whirring with ideas? What if their targets had that spot as their hideout?Was it worth checking? One part of his mind was telling him to ignore it and just assume it was nothing but another voice in his mind was urging him to remain inquisitive.As a trained operative, any such signs should never be ignored so he tilted towards the idea of remaining to see the end of his curiosity.Could it behind that Alan and his goons were hiding behind the piles of straw?
