Chapter 28: The Two Cars

I looked at the monitor where the drone captured the point B of the Manila South Harbor.
Sapphire is the one assigned around this point and the reason why Haru moved his drone in this area is because he received a signal from Sapphire’s installed tracker from one of the containers, earlier.
He found the container right away and zoomed in. After turning on the thermal sensors, we immediately saw two figures inside.
“Point B, container 75B has two individuals. I repeat, Point B, container 75B has two individuals.” I announced to confirm on finding 1 out of 3 suspected containers with the victims inside. “Good job on finding them right away Sapphire.” I added.
“Thank you, Miss.” Sapphire replied with a low voice. I heard from the background that one employee found her. She immediately explained that she’s a new employee and that she got lost while going out. Luckily, the employee did not suspect Sapphire and just gave her directions out, after.
“That scared me!”
I heard her exclaimed after. I chuckled. “But you did a good job escaping the situation. Keep it up. Now be alert on not bumping into someone again.” I reminded her.
“We have now located the other two containers Sister Tanya. Sir Monty and Sir Morty each found them luckily. I’m on my way to double check them now.” Haru announced suddenly. I looked at the monitor on the side and saw the added two red dots on the map. He’s right.
And knowing that it was the twin who found them, I already considered the report affirmative. I tapped my earpiece to gather everyone’s attention. “Return to your posts now. We have already located the containers. Wait for our signal to attack later. Make sure to wear your masks, copy?” I announced.
“Copy.”
All of them replied at the same time.

Samantha was inside her car along with Alex and Marcus on the front seat. Her car is parked nearby behind a ragged mini van who was already there when they arrived.
It is not part of her rule to join petty transactions on site as she tries to hide her identity as much as possible as well as to avoid getting suspected by the authorities once the transaction is on jeopardy. But this transaction is quite huge and involves a huge sum of money. Thus, she wanted to see the successful transaction with her own eyes.
With her binoculars on, she looked for his men and their client. “Are the packages in different boxes?” She asked Alex.
“Yes, President. I instructed Samson to scatter them around. We will give the clients, the number of the container vans once we receive the money.” Alex replied with confidence.
“Good.”
Samantha was still on binoculars when she saw the client walking towards her men. A smile of victory formed on her lips. But this automatically vanished when she saw that her men-the one Alex called Samson-suddenly fell down on the ground and so as their clients. The entire harbor echoed with gunshots.
“What’s happening?” Alex was surprised by the events.
Samantha’s face turned red in fury. Did the police know this transaction? How? Though not instructed, Marcus turned on the engine and stepped the gas away from the harbor.
“F*ck! F*ck! Who the hell jeopardized this?!”
Samantha shouted angrily on the backseat while Alex and Marcus remained silent in front.

Tanya’s
With my mask on, I went out from our mini van and tried to cross the street. When I took a step a car suddenly honked on me so I looked down and moved aside, letting the car speed up. It was the car parked behind us. They must have gotten scared because of the gunshots earlier.
I reached to where everyone was. I saw the group of wounded criminals tied together on the side with Monty guarding them.
“Let’s open this now.” I ordered, pointing to container 75B. Me and Morty walked in front of the container lock and opened it. Inside, we saw two teenage girls crouched down on the floor while hugging each other. Both are crying helplessly.
Seeing them, my heart ached. And the rage I already have inside grew bigger. How can this people do such thing to kids like this?
I walked inside and squatted in front of the two teens. “It’s okay. You’re safe now.” I told them and all I got was whimpers after.
I can’t help but get teary-eyed. I will definitely stop Samantha’s evil deeds no matter what happens. I swear this to the old Tanya.
The next morning, the news relating their mission aired the entire country. Gilbert has already pulled up some connections and made the police took credit of our feat. We plan to make Samantha think that there’s a mole on her group. We can’t let her think that someone was really after them.
“I feel sad for that Dr. Martin, or was he even a doctor?” Sasaki spoke after we watched the news together like the usual.
“Don’t be.” Morty butt in. “That man is protected by the CIA. You already know that he’s a criminal and that he was just able to work for the CIA because he’s a good programmer. Your brother is better, though.”
“I am not talking to you, Morty.” Sasaki got clearly annoyed and we can see it.
Haru wanted to join but Monty was ahead of him. “Sasaki knows her brother is awesome, brother. What’s getting you pumped up?” He teased Morty.
“I-I am not. Psh.” Morty walked out.
I chuckled. When would this two realize that they like each other?
“By the way, what would happen with the victims?” Sapphire asked. I also have the same question so I looked at Gilbert.
“According to the police I talked, some of those kids still has relatives so they will be returned to them while some will be transferred to an orphanage. We can donate privately to the orphanage once they’re settled Miss.” Gilbert especially told me the last sentence. He must have been noticed my worries.
I smiled at him. “Thanks Gilbert.” He replied.
