Melvin doesn't like receiving reports with flaws. So, Joan instructed some of his men to furtively wait on Jones as he pretended to be off, which made the agents to cease fire.
Jones' picture was all over their phones, so it wasn't difficult for them to identify him.
They trailed them.
“Hey papi... We got company,” Daniel said, looking at the rearview mirror.
“Keep moving… Lose them, can you do that?” Jones asked, but it sounded more like a command.
“Sure!” Daniel replied as he hit on the accelerator. He finally started slowing down after a couple of minutes because of the traffic lights ahead.
“Don't slow down…keep moving.” Jones commanded.
He did as he was instructed. He kept moving, and the gang followed suit. Authority pursued them since they refused to pull-over for the traffic lights. It was definitely Jones' plan to get the police raider on them.
The chase was no longer uniform as both cars were chased. Daniel swerved into a different lane as directed by Jones, hoping Joan's lackeys will follow them, but they actually followed a different lane as they were also suspects to the police.
Joan's lackeys were in a black SUV. The SUV was thundering along the freeway, leaving a line of dazed cars in its wake.
Scott Walton, an FBI agent, hurried over to his brand-new police issue Patrol car and jumped into the front seat. His tactical gear conformed to his muscular built body.
He felt his car roar to life when he pressed the start button. Scott shot out of the police garage and onto the street, the lights, and siren blazing.
As Scott slid the patrol car onto the freeway smoothly. He slammed his foot down on the accelerator and unleashed its fury. Its speed was at its peak in a few seconds.
They had obviously seen Scott because he went into a drift and spun around into the opposite lane of traffic and hurtled.
Scott was not going to give up that easily though, He's an FBI agent, and he worked for the government in getting down law offenders. He spotted ahead of him a huge car carrier truck with nothing on the back ramp.
“Nice timing,” he thought, as he roared up the ramp at an angle and flew off the edge onto the other side of the road, still maintaining his speed.
He landed smoothly, but Melvin lackey's car speed towards him, attempting to hit, but he flicked a switch on the dash, tilting onto two wheels. He shot past the Melvin lackey's car in a flash and flicked the switch back down, and the car righted itself at once.
“Got eyes on them.” Scott reported the scene.
He glanced down at his GPS and saw that the SUV had crashed and caused a serious traffic jam since they miss him.
“Man… We have to go,” one of Melvin's lackeys who was still conscious said, and clambered out of the wrecked car slowly.
He saw a patrol car pull up beside him, and his worst fear got out of the driver's seat. Scott pulled a set of handcuffs from his belt and stepped up to him and said calmly,
“Looks like my car won another match, and now I guess you and your men will be coming with me, we good?” he handcuffed him and called for the ambulance for the other.
Meanwhile, Daniel and Jones were in a red sedan car and were also being chased by the police. They managed to speed by the police and drove away. Speeding erratically, trying much not to hit other cars, and finally coming to a stop before the car lost a tyre.
They got out of the car and ran into the rough road which cut through forested land.
“Man…that was too close.” Daniel panted after they finally got over the police.
“Yeah… I know.” Jones said causally.
“I ain't taking chances like that anymore.” Daniel exhaled heavily. “For real. What if we were caught… Huh?”
“That will be the least of the things I will think of. You won the auto sport award two years ago." Jones stated, trying to remind Daniel of the undeniable skills he has in driving.
“And I got busted, my life became…" He didn't finish before Jones interrupted.
“Let's not talk about it. My expectations of you are high. Believe it or not.” He said as he hit the forested road.
“Come on”. He beckoned on Daniel.
They dashed to the forested road, where a ride was patiently waiting for them.“Man… How did you know we were gonna be here?” Daniel asked as he shook hands with the masked man seated on the car bonnet. He had a mask on, yet was easily recognized.He pulled the ski mask from his head, revealing a rugged, stubbled jaw and a handsome face topped with a mop of unruly brown hair. “Even with this mask, you recognize me,” He said, smiling.“Of course,” Daniel stated as they burst into boisterous laughter.“It was part of the plan.” Jones said, putting an end to the stormy laughter.“Now… I'm lost.” Daniel said, expecting an explanation.“Yeah… It was an alternative plan if stopping Holly Minard's abduction fails.” He said, scanning the surrounding.“And the police… Was that also part of the plan?” Daniel asked snoopily.“No… It wasn't part of the plan, per say.” He replied with his brow raised, and a smile extended all over his face.“I know you planned everything beforehand, but I'm in th
She stared at him with no response.He removed the bandage used in obstructing her mouth and her outside view. She stared at him with so much annoyance running through her vein, but her dazzling blue eyes reflected the pity and weakness she didn't want to show.“I asked you a question.” Daniel yelled at her as he slammed the outmoded table.“How do you expect me to talk when my mouth was gagged, huh?" She scowled.“And what are you going to do if I don't talk?” She squished her lips as she said.“Then you will receive a series of beatings, trust me.” Daniel said with a harsh tone.“I don't trust humans and if I should go against that, I will never trust you. I detest you and your fucking gang, let me out of here!” She yelled as she bowed her head despondently. “Haha… The real torture hasn't started yet, and you're already hopeless. What a shame!!” Daniel said, laughing as he brought his face close to hers. He was doing all that just to get pass the humiliation of a girl staging a fig
Walter went against the “now” order as he quickly called the laboratory courier to deliver the samples. The reason Holly Minard's blood was being tested wasn't known to Walter, nor even Joan. That was one of the secrets Melvin didn't share with them. His shoulders hunched forward, and his chest shook as he chuckled to himself about what a clever guy he was.Seeing him, people generally considered him a fragile, pitiable minimal elderly person. But after knowing the savagery and detestable things he had done, one would like to put something between themselves or any other person they often thought about and him as quickly as possible.He untied her but left her with cuffs used to restrain her, and switched off the processing room overhead lights as he helped Holly Minard to a wheelchair. She felt the fatigue and strain like a noose around her neck. She was tired and a jumbled mixture of thoughts were streaming in as if she had torn out some pages at random from her brain. She knew th
Jones paced forth and back in front of Helena. He was actually expecting a call from Melvin after realizing that Melvin cared so much about her sister. Jones wasn't a seer, but he had predicted Melvin's next move since he was able to find out his vulnerability.“Hey papi... What should we do now?” Daniel, who was already losing patience, asked.“We wait.” He replied with a calm voice.“You don't seem like a killer… Are you?” Helena radiated a smile at him, trying to pry. Jones only stared at her, keeping his facial expression in a way that depicts disinterested qualities.“Just wondering though… Because it is insensible for someone who got no idea about killing to try to kidnap and kill someone.”“What are your ambitions?”“Huh?…Whatever. You don't want to talk to me, yeah. I respect that. But one question, please.”“What is it?” He finally replied, but no concern in his voice.“Why was I abducted?” She asked with the hope of starting a conversation.“The less you know, the better for
Helena replied before Jones could utter a word.“I won't… Remember I detest Melvin and I never called you nor him abductors. Are we good?”“You didn't call us abductors? Whatever, but you don't trust us.” Daniel said.“Yes… I don't trust you, but I trust your weird friend.” Helena stated.“Weird friend?” Daniel chuckled and added, “Why not just tell him you like him.”“You say shit a lot. You know that, right?” She retaliated.“I might not be as smart as him, but I know love when I see one. You like him, and you're just trying to---” Jones cuts in instantly,“Danny!!!” “Hey!! You... I told you to leave. So leave.” Jones added, staring at her furiously.She just stared at him lustfully and didn't know when he complimented him. “You have a nice voice.”“I said it.” Daniel blasted.“No… That's not what I meant. I mean, whatever…" She sighed in exasperation and hurriedly left the warehouse.Daniel was about bringing up Helena up, but Jones' demeanor were all against that, and so he compl
It was already 8:00am, Melvin and his platoon were already at the intersection of Donald emporium waiting patiently for Jones' arrival. He wasn't there to strike the deal as proposed, but to gun down Jones and get Helena without handling over Holly Minard.Joan walked to Melvin and said, “It's getting late, boss.”“I know… But I'm not leaving here without taking down that wimp.” Melvin responded with so much serious in his voice.With no gap in time, Two blue SUVs accompanied by a patrol car shoved in, in the opposite direction, but kept their distance.“Get ready….” Melvin said via the spy microphone.The cars, except for the patrol car, halted to a stop at the intersection of the emporium. The patrol car limped slowly to the side of the intersection. There were also two other black sedan cars coming from the left direction.“We got two black sedan cars coming leftward,” one of the lackeys who was placed to spy on the surrounding said to Melvin via the microphone.“What?!!” Melvin ex
Melvin was at his lowest point during the combat and this was a great break to take down Melvin once and for all, but Scott was thinking meticulously not to fall into Melvin's traps again.Scott was almost killed two years ago after the news about the unknown terrorist; Melvin Otani hogged the media for a very long time. Conspiracies towards Melvin's downfall were almost carried out before someone from the inside leaked information and that only didn't compromise the whole plan but centralized Scott as the major target by Melvin's squad and killers contracted by Melvin.Going against the government protocol and attacking Melvin almost got him killed, even though he nearly conquest. Melvin took to his kneels as usual, Scott chased him until Melvin had just one option left. Surrender or die.It was at that moment that everything was about to end before an abrupt covering fire was opened against Scott. Someone on the inside was definitely working with Melvin, and it was obvious when the
When Holly Minard woke up, the darkness in the room shadowed her. It wasn't the darkness that resulted in the discomfort, it was the effect of the backhand slap, which still felt like it happened a minute ago.Looking at her suit trousers, she saw that they were shimmering with a blue haze. She snatched her head up to see the security camera hung on the wall with a hook underneath the gap of sliding. As she stood up, propelling herself towards the direction of the blue haze, every light in the room was switched on in unison. She gasped and pressed her hands to her eyes, force tossing her backward. The enlightenment had totally swayed her head with stars and caused a loss in balance. She squinted at the glare, anticipating a door to be opened. With no gap in time, a door from behind opened.“Come on,” said a burly man whose eyes only were hazardous, unlike his lovely voice. Minard staggered forward with her eyes slowly adjusting to the light.“Sit…and eat,” the burly man said. She da
