Another Mission
The next day, Adira paid the hospital bill early. Fortunately, her bank had enough money, so they traveled home.
They traveled for two hours before the car stopped in front of Simon’s house. Adira was helping Simon get out of the car and walk to the front of the house, but they were surprised that there was someone in front of Simon’s house.
When they got close, that person faced them. This is an old woman, and it looks like she is about 60 years old.
“Why are you in front of my house?” asked Simon.
The old woman looked at him. “Excuse me, but are you the one doing the missions and getting paid for that?”
Adira and Simon looked at each other. “How did you know I live here?”
“Someone told me that the secret missionary lives in this area, so I came. No one answered the phone, so I went.”
Simon notices that Adira doesn’t speak. “The person you’re referring to won’t accept the mission for now, so you can leave.”
They were about to walk again when the old woman stopped them. “Wait a minute!” They stopped. “I will pay a lot just to do what I want. You will only threaten my son. I just want to know if my son loves his wife.” Adira frowned but remained silent.
“What do you want to happen?” asked Simon.
“I want you to kidnap my son’s wife.”
Simon was surprised. “Why is it necessary to kidnap your son’s wife?”
“Until now, I don’t know if he has fallen in love with his wife, whom I forced to marry because they have a child. Now that everything seems to be fixed, but right now Carina is avoiding Sebastian.”
Adira quickly looked at the old woman, whose eyebrows were almost touching due to her frowning so much. “She’s not referring to Mrs. Torres, maybe?” she said to herself.
“So if possible, maybe you can talk to your partner. Even if you tell what the price for what will do to the couple.”
Simon simply looked at Adira. He saw that her forehead was wrinkled. “What day can the mission be done?”
“Tonight.”
Simon thought. “Can I have your phone number? I’ll just call you if my partner agrees.”
The old woman gave her number, written on a small piece of paper. “I hope your partner agrees to what I want. Thank you, but I have to leave.” Simon just nodded and waited for the old woman to step away.
They continued to enter the house, and after sitting down, Simon immediately asked. “You heard what the old woman I was talking to said. Do you want to do it?”
“I have a flight back to Stalwart Castle later.”
“What time?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“About midnight.”
Simon sighed. “Maybe you want to grant the old woman’s request first, and I also remembered that they were also the reason for your last mission. Isn’t it, Mrs. Torres?”
“I’m not sure if that’s them or maybe it’s just the same name.”
“The decision is up to you whether you accept it or not, but remember they have a child.”
She narrowed her eyes at Simon. “Are you my conscience, to make me feel guilty, Simon?” He just smiled at her. “Alright, I’ll do it; my flight schedule is already okay.”
Simon calls the old woman and says that Adira has accepted her wish. The conversation between the two of them took a while because of the length of the plan, but it will be done later.
Simon hung up the call and looked at her. “You will have a lot to do in a few hours of missionary work, Adira. Be prepared because Mrs. Torres cannot recognize you. I am sure you will see many tears on her face. Their child will stay with his grandmother while you do the mission. The plan is to take them together, leave the child in the car, and take Mrs. Torres alone to an old warehouse.”
She winced at the plan. “It’s like my role here is to be the villain, even though I’m only doing one mission.”
Simon shrugged. “Mr. Torres’ mother must like to watch movies like that; that’s why.”
Just a few hours later, Adira is already at her house and looking for something to wear without seeing her whole face now. In other missions, only half of her face is covered. Now it’s all over the face except for the eyes. When she found something she could wear, she immediately took it and changed her clothes.
After she came back to her room, she was now wearing an all-black outfit from head to toe. There was a cap on her head and a black cloth tied around her face and around her eyes, a turtleneck dress tucked in, fit pants, and boots. She also won’t bring her two pieces of wood because she will use a fake gun that was provided by the old woman, and she will handle it if she is already in an abandoned warehouse.
When everything was okay, Adira left her house and went to an old warehouse where Carina would be taken. The old woman’s other staff will take care of getting Mrs. Torres.
Meanwhile, Carina is in a mall and looks like she is shopping. She was accompanied by a maid who was carrying her son. After staying inside for a while, the maid and Carina came out and went to the car.
While walking to the car, the black van stopped in front of them. The door opened quickly, and Carina and the child were quickly brought inside. The maid is left in the parking lot, but that maid is also part of the plan.
“Who are you, and what do you need from me?” Carina said she was scared as she looked at her son, who was being held by a man. “Give me my son!” She tried to reach it, but she didn’t succeed.
“Shut up if you don’t want to hurt your child!”
Carina had tears in her eyes as she looked at her son. It’s not crying because it’s sleeping now. Carina remained silent, but she looked at her son minute by minute.
The black van stopped at the warehouse and forced Carina down without her son.
“W-wait! My son, Sander!” Carina shouted as she tried to remove the men’s hands from her arms.
Another man had already closed the ban door and left, so Carina was even more confused and tried to escape even more, but she still didn’t do it, and now Carina was being brought inside the warehouse; she was still screaming. Her hair is also messed up, and her cheeks are full of tears.
Carina was taken to a dark room and tied to a chair. The surroundings are littered with trash, broken windows, and broken ceilings.
“W-who are you? Let me go!”
After tightening the rope on her arm and leg, the two men left quickly.
“My son, where is my son?” Carina screamed, but no men returned. She bent down and cried, but her head lifted when she heard a noise on the old table. It was dark, and she didn’t know if there was anyone in that place.
Adira was already inside that room and was just watching how Carina was tied up and how she cried while calling her son. She took the fake gun from the table and slowly approached Carina.
“I don’t want to do missions like this. It’s too dramatic, and I don’t want this to happen to my client,” she said to herself while walking around the chair where Carina was tied.
Carina looked at her angrily. “Who are you? What do you need from me, and I’m here?”
She has to change the tone of her voice because she might know that she is the gangster she hired before. She will use a voice that seems to have no mercy on other people.
“You don’t need to know who I am. Are you ready?”
Carina swallowed. “What do you mean?”
She took out the fake gun and showed it to Carina while spinning it in her hand. “But before that, of course, we need drama before the action.”
Adira turned her back on Carina and took her phone from her pants pocket. She tried calling Sebastian, Carina’s husband.
She heard several rings before Sebastian answered the call. “Yes, who’s this?”
“How are you?” she asked.
Sebastian, who was in his office, was already frowning. “Do I know you?”
“No.”
“How did you know my private number? I don’t just give out my phone number to anyone I’m not related to.”
She grinned. “Why don’t you look at your phone screen when you know whose phone I’m holding?”
Sebastian frowned before pulling the phone away from his ear and staring at the blank screen. When he turned on his phone, he got nervous because the caller’s name was Carina.
A man had earlier secretly placed Carina’s phone on the table where Adira was sitting, which she couldn’t see right away because of the darkness. What she’s wearing also blends in with the darkness because she’s wearing all black. They took Carina’s cell phone immediately before she could call for help earlier.
Sebastian quickly put the phone back to his ear. “Who are you, and where is Carina?” Sebastian asked with a loud shout while the papers on his table were already crumpled due to the clenching of his fist that was placed on top of them.
“Easy, don’t be too angry. She’s still alive, but-” She stopped for a moment and turned to Carina, who was just looking at her. “Maybe you want to save her before you can’t see your wife breathing.”
“Who are you!? What do you need from my family?” Sebastian answered angrily.
“Secret.” She even laughed out loud to make her acting look real.
Sebastian’s eyes filled with tears, and he calmly asked Adira again on the other line. “Please! What do you need? I’ll give it to you, just don’t hurt Carina.”
She smiled a little. “You should move now, Sebastian. The hand of the clock is moving, you might be late, but for a moment, won’t you ask me if your son is okay too?” Her smile turned into a grin.
Sebastian was shocked and stood up straight. “Sander, you took him too?”
“Yes, but I don’t have him in my hands now, and I don’t know where the other people with me took him.”
“Why did you even include the child? I don’t know if I owe you or my family anything for making such a bad joke, especially with my child.”
“Just work, Sebastian, nothing personal. Before I called, I sent a message, and that’s where you can find where Carina is.”
“Wait a minute!” Sebastian stopped, and Adira didn’t immediately turn off the call. “Where’s Carina? Can I talk to her?”
She checked the time on the phone; she needed to hurry. “I’m sorry, but if you want to hear her voice, drive your car to get here.” She hung up the phone and turned to Carina again. In her mind, “What I’m going to do now would be good because my flight time is almost here and I can’t book a flight for another day because I made a promise already to Dylan.” She went back to the table and waited for Sebastian to come to start the show.
Meanwhile, Sebastian quickly left the office after reading the message on his phone about where he was going.
