CHAPTER 318
Meanwhile, Desmond sat in the stern, his eyes gleaming at the moonlight as he glided through the rivers with grace.“Come on, Brody apply a little more strength, can you?” Desmond spoke kindly.“Just take it smooth and easy and we will get to our destination. It’s not as far as it looks, trust me.”The water lapped against the sides of the boat as Brody rowed with all of his strength, his arms arching with the strength of his focus as he tried to stay on the task at hand.The boat cut through the water and moved smoothly, the wind whipping above them as they travelled down the river.Meanwhile, Brody was feeling sleepy all through the 25-minute journey until they finally got to the edge of the shore on the other side.Desmond and Brody got away from the boat, their bodies wet and slippery as they got onto the dry land.“You might want to use this to clean yourself,” Desmond spoke, offering Brody a napkin which he used to clean off the water on his body.“Clean off everything, okay?”“
CHAPTER 317
Brody’s breath caught in his throat the moment the voice reached his ears.His eyes were searching in the darkness for the source of the voice and he could see the figure of a man at the other end of the pond.His mind was racing with thoughts of escape and danger. Could the man possibly be a dangerous person who wanted to harm him? The thought of him running away from that spot was getting stronger each moment.“Hey! Are you safe there? I want to help you.”“Can you hear me?”“Raise a hand if you can hear me!”Brody’s eyes darted back and forth with a deadly flicker of indecision, his brow furrowed with a wrinkle of concern. He knew that if he raised his hand, he was going to accept the man’s gesture.His mind was a whirl of thoughts as he deliberated on what was going to be best for him.Was Della and the rest still going to come for him? His original reason for thinking about passing the pond was in the hope that perhaps Della had gone over there to look for him.It was a very wild
CHAPTER 316
“What clue do you have to come to that conclusion. I really want to believe you, Alan. I have come to take this issue so seriously that I cannot sleep at night if we don't have a headway in this matter.”Alan heaved a deep sigh of understanding. He realized that every one of them was also deeply rooted in the tension. “Alright, listen. From the phone call, you can see that the guards were also trying to play things safe.”“They didn't want to give too many clues and that was why they picked the phone call at first without saying anything.”“I get that we are all over the edge but we need to think logically about this so that we don't cause more problems for ourselves.”“If we go back inside, we would have ourselves to blame for it. The guards and even Mr. Lawrence himself would have been the ones speaking through that phone if they indeed had Brody.”“They just want to know if the phone was something we gave to him and that was why I was saying that we shouldn't talk to them.”“Becaus
CHAPTER 315
“So what makes you think that they didn't already track us when they picked the call,” Della’s eyes were a flaming flare of tension. “Since you are so convinced that they could track us despite us already being two steps ahead of them.”That was the first time that Alan and Della were going to have something close to an argument. It was almost a weird thing to see that they had a stark difference in views. They were always the cool-headed and strategic ones but this time it was as if they were taking the tension out on each other.“Guys, calm down,” Jackson spoke with a soothing flow as he attempted to put a calm to the storm of confusion. “We can't afford to be divided right now. We have to stay together if we are going to get through this. Don’t let us lose what we have already gained. We have gotten this far and we can definitely get past this.”Alan and Della then took a deep sigh as they stopped the argument. The situation was a little tough but they had to take some quietness
CHAPTER 314
They were all so eager and desperate to find Brody to the extent that their feet were pounding on the ground intensely as they marched all about the premises.Their voices could be heard and Alan and the others were all paying attention to the voices.“Have you checked around there? Cover the perimeter and ransack the whole area. They must be somewhere hiding at the moment.”“Hoffman, believe me I have checked around the whole perimeter, they aren’t there. It’s like they are ghosts, I don't understand how they keep escaping each moment it feels like we are close to getting them.”“You better not let the boss hear you speak such lazy words.”“They are humans like you and they don't even have weapons, man. They are vulnerable.”“You need to stop saying that. Stop acting like we got everything under control when you know very well that we don't have anything under control.”“The boss wouldn't like to hear that, man. We can't be discussing these things as if there is an option for us not
CHAPTER 313
Their face paled, their lips parting open with a silent gasp of shock that escaped from their mouths.Mr. Lawrence, especially was having a huge struggle to understand what exactly was going on. It was a mystery to him. A shiver of apprehension ran through his body, goosebumps rising on his skin as he processed the situation.He crouched further, checking through the hole that they had made to be sure that he wasn’t hallucinating.And he wasn't - Alan, Della, and Jackson were no longer there.Mr. Lawrence turned to his men again. “Where are they? They were supposed to be here, weren't they?”The guards couldn't help but shiver and quiver as they exchanged confused glances among themselves. Their body stiffened as they realized that in truth, Mr. Lawrence was right - the guys inside the elevator cargo were no longer there.It was like a dream to them or like one of those film tricks. Mr. Lawrence’s fists trembled with a pulsating rage, his jaw clenched with a seething grind of resent
