CHAPTER 16 THE RESCUE
They are ready for what they will do to save Rhianna’s sister and mother. They’re here at Head Quarters right now and talking about how to do it. After talking about everything, she got in Leo’s car. They made their way to the mansion.
They used three cars. Every car has a partner. Along the way, she couldn’t help but feels nervous. Will their salvation be successful? Hope no one gets hurt.
“Are you alright?” Leo asked her because he notice Rhianna that she was restive.
“Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” Rhianna replied and he tried to smile at Leo. Concern was reflected in his eyes.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“We can handle this Rhianna. Just trust me.”
**
They reached the road where Leo saw Rhianna wounded and asking for help. They go down and made their way into the woods. Brandon, Carmela, and Faith were already in the forest. Harold and Alexandra followed. Leo and Rhianna are next. She sighed first to get rid of the nervousness she was feeling.
“You can do that Rhianna. We can do it.” Leo said to her. She looked at him. He smiled at her.
“Thank you Leo for motivating me.” he said sincerely.
“Let’s go!” he said.
She nodded and went into the woods. Walk and trend as the go to the forest. She saw her comrades in the distance. It also took them a few hours to reach the back of the house.
Brandon and Harold were assigned to look around the house. She went to the side of the house to look at the location of her mother and sister’s bedroom window.
She saw the window slightly open. She threw the pebble and it entered the room.
“What’s that?” she heard her mother’s voice in the room. She peeked out the window and was surprised to see Rhiana. Rhianna gestures her middle finger to her mouth to let them know not to make noise.
“Make a knitted cloth so you can get down.” she said to them in a low voice but they would hear. Her mother obeyed and went inside.
“Mom, what are we going to do?” Ylona asked.
“Don’t make any noise and your sister is there to save us.” her mother said to her sibling.
She looked around. Harold, Leo together with Brandon are still patiently watching. Alexandra approached Harold.
“Where are they?” she asked Harold.
Harold said something but was not heard. Carmela and Faith were just next to her and waiting for her mother and sister to come down. A few minutes later, she saw her mother peek down below and unfold the stitched fabric.
Ylona went down first. Faith approached her to help Ylona. When Ylona got down, Carmela picked Ylona. Even though they had a misunderstanding. Her concern is still there. Her mother followed.
“F*ck! The two gamekeepers are getting closer here.” Harold said with a nonplussed in his voice.
“Hurry up!” he shouted.
When her mother came down they had no more wasted time. They ran while holding her mother’s hand. Faith carried Ylona. She should get hurt than her mother and sister.
“There are those who have entered!” she heard a shout. She heard an exchange of gunfire. That’s sequential. They ran and ran.
“Daughter.” her mother said to her looking puzzled at what was happening. She stopped and looked at her.
“We’ll be safe Ma,” she said and pulled her mother’s hand to run. The exchange of gunfire that she hears is still going on. She turned around and saw Harold, Brandon, and Leo exchanging gunfire with Don Ysmael’s man while hiding in the tree.
“You go first! We’ll take care of it.” Leo shouted.
She noticed that Don Ysmael’s two men were lying on the ground. Probably, purged or dead. They followed what he said. Gunshots rang out in the woods. Until we heard no more gunshots because they were already far away. When they got close to the car, she immediately put Ylona and her inside the car.
“Are they okay?” her mother asked her when she got inside. Concern was on his face.
“Yes, Ma. They’re okay. Trust them, they can handle it.” She was sure of it. But in those moments she was worried. She hopes they are okay.
“Thanks for rescuing me and Ma, sister.” Ylona said to Rhianna. She ruffled her hair and closed the car door.
“Oh my God! Leo and Brandon are wounded!” Carmela shouted.
She turned around and saw that Leo and Brandon were wounded while Harold was not injured. Carmela approaches Leo and supports him. She felt a little jealous. She immediately dismissed the emotion she was feeling right now. She shouldn’t feel it. They are on a mission. Faith, on the other hand, supports Brandon.
“They’ll just ride in my car. Alexandra offered.
“Come on! So that they’ll be treated immediately.” Carmela said and immediately got into the car with Faith.
Brandon, Leo, and Harold got into Alexandra’s car. She also got in the car and started the car engine. Somehow, she knew how to drive a car. They had a car when her father was alive, but they sold it when he got sick.
They made their way to Head Quarters. While on the road she can’t help but think of Leo and Brandon. How are they?
“Rhianna. Are you a member of their group?” her mother asked. She swallowed first before she looked at her in the rearview mirror. Ylona was just looking at the road and her mother was looking in her direction.
“Yes. I joined their group so I can save you.” she said and immediately looked back at the road.
“I know Ysmael is making a way now to chase you, Rhianna. But, if you want to be part of their group I will support you, Rhianna. Just be careful always.” her mother preached.
“Yes, Ma. I’ll be careful.” she answers.
Rhianna knows she doesn’t like what she’s doing. But she’s already here, they will trap Don Ysmael in just a few steps. She will not leave her group until they have fulfilled their mission. And she will never leave Leo. And, she knew he was there for her and he won’t leave Rhianna. She was so bitten by the thought of that.
