The Thirst For Revenge Episode 32 – 33

The Thirst For Revenge – Episode 32

Time: 9pm

Location: DSS Tower

Agent Matt walked majestically through the long hallway clad in his uniform with a younger agent trudging along and holding a file. They headed towards the elevator and stepped in after pressing the button leading to the topmost floor. The elevator dinged open and they stepped out and continued the walk down the hallway to the DG’s office. The DG was locking his office with some combination codes when they got to him. He was shocked when he subconsciously looked up to see them.

“Oh My! You two scared me”, he exclaimed.

Agent Matt let out a brief smile and then maintained a straight look.

“The Deputy Governor demands for an urgent transfer of the suspects Cole arrested”, Agent Matt said skipping the pleasantries aspect.

“What?”, he looked surprised. “When?… How?”, he asked bemused.

“It is classified. I’m sorry, i can’t talk about it”.

“Seriously?”

“Yes, it is highly classified and I’m restricted from disclosing it to anyone”, Agent Matt calmly replied.

“Where is the evidence of authorization?”, the DG asked.

“Here sir!”, the younger agent handed him the file and the DG collected it and quickly skimmed through it. He shook his head as soon as he was done scrutinizing it.

“This will have to wait till tomorrow morning to make arrangements for the transfer”

“I’m sorry, it can’t wait and I can’t leave here without having the suspects follow me”, Agent Matt retorted.

The DG let out a deep breath. “Okay, follow me”

Time: 9:30pm

Location: Ahoada east

(Cole’s Residence)

“Seriously, we can’t do this alone”, Dave complained bitterly as he descended the stairs leading to the sitting room where Cole was seated in a couch, arranging the tools and gadgets he will need for the mission.

Cole stopped what he was doing and abruptly looked up at Dave who was already standing in front of him, adjusting his uniform.

“Dave, listen to me”, he began. “I’m very much aware of the detriments of doing this alone but sadly, we don’t have many options right now. It is a risk we have to take”, he paused and took a deep breath.

“This is our best bet. Are you with me”, he asked.

Dave heaved a sigh too. He wasn’t cool with the idea but they had no choice, not at the moment. He nodded after much consideration.

“Yes, I’m with you”.

“Thanks man”, Cole smiled exuberantly. “The plan is simple and not too simple. We are to neutralize the target, recover the evidence and evacuate immediately without a trace”

“And if anything goes wrong?”, Dave asked.

“We call for backup”, Cole replied looking him in the eyes. “This is our only chance”, he added.

Dave nodded. “Let’s do this”, he said picking a gun on the table and tucked it in his wa-ist hostler.

“Sadly, its an hour drive from here to the displayed location”.

“That’s without traffic congestion”, Dave added.

••••••••••••••
Agent Matt was seated in the front passenger’s seat of the DSS prisoner’s transfer van while an agent from the DSS was behind the wheels, driving at a maximum speed as he was being ordered by Agent Matt. A DSS van was following behind which served as an esc-rt with armed officers standing at the back with their gun strapped across their chest. They had embarked on the journey thirty minutes ago, heading to the FBI headquarters which was the legal place for the suspects to be driven to but Agent Matt had other plans and he was only waiting for the right time to devise his plans.

Some few meters away, A Toyota tundra could be seen speeding down the road, following the prisoner’s transfer van but was careful enough not to be noticed. Behind the wheels of the Toyota tundra is the DG. He had changed into a casual wear and was following the prisoner’s van to know what Agent Matt was up to. He had a feeling Agent Matt was up to no good and had probably lied about the wh0le transfer stuff but anyway, he was about to find out.

Agent Matt glanced at his wristwatch, It was time to take actions. He looked at the agent beside him who only focused on the road as he drove on. He kept his gaze at the agent as he brought out a gun from his wa-ist hostler. He had attached a silencer to it in a bid not to ar-use suspicion from the officers following behind.

Slowly and steadily, he raised up the gun and shot the young agent twice squarely in the head. The gun made just a puff sound as it was fired and blood spilled away from the agent’s head. Agent Matt quickly pushed him sideways and took charge of the steering wheel and continued driving, changing gears and added more speed. His plans were really alternating well as he was now in charge of the van. He only needed to takeout the officers following behind and he also got that in control as he brought out a grenade launcher from his pocket. He used his teeth to cut the lid open, activating it in the process. He stepped on the brakes in slow pumps, slowing down the van as the other van carrying the officers began to get closer to him. He peered out of the side window and threw the grenade and immediately sped away.

Boom! The grenade bomb went off scattering the parts of the van to the east and west of the road. Fragments of the van and debris immediately filled the air.

The shockwave sent the Toyota tundra skidding off the road as it somersaulted into the nearby bush. The DG crawled out through the broken windscreen, coughing hærd as the smoke filled his nostrils. He was severely injured as he had different cuts with shærds of glass embedded in his body. He gro-ned in pains as he crawled out of the tundra which was already in flames and could explode anytime. He staggered away from the tundra with his head spinning and his ears ringing to the effect of the shockwave. After he had walked a reasonable distance away from the tundra, he stood and watch the other agents sprawled on the floor lifelessly. Anger surge through his veins as he gritted his teeth in agitation. Now, he knows what Agent Matt was up to.

•••••••••••••
Agent Matt was driving at top speed as the road was hitch free from other vehicles as it was very late in the night. He looked back at Alexandra guards who huddled in,side the van with handcuff still on their hands. He knew he shouldn’t be doing this but he had no choice. He was only doing it for his wife’s safety. He had fulfilled his own part of the plan, and now it is her turn to fulfill hers.

He kept driving at top speed, hitting the 200km/hr on the speedometer when he suddenly saw a hilux van and a Mitsubishi lancer parked horizontally across the road.

Episode 33

His look turned to horror as he immediately stepped on the brake pedal, bringing the bus to a halt. He quickly brought out his gun in readiness to take out whoever laying siege for him. Out of the blues, he saw a black shadow standing at his front. He was shocked that he only stare as the figure began taking tentative steps towards him. He watched as the figure slowly uncovered the face, stopping by the door as he cringed ferociously. He heaved a deep sigh of relief when he saw that it was Alexandra. She had dressed in a black overall with her face covered which made her appear like a shadow.

“Get them out now”, she ordered.

“And stop staring as if you’ve seen a ghost”

Agent Matt jaw was slacked as he stared in incredulity. He had thought it was an enemy or Riggs Alexandra who had caused the blockage for an ambush but it was far from it.

“Get them out now! And let’s go”, her voice sounded in his ears and he jolted out of his reverie.

(Thirty minutes later)

“That’s her base”, Agent Matt pointed out as they parked at a far distance away from the Faceless fortress.

Alexandra alighted from the Mitsubishi lancer, taking her knapsack and strapped it to her back. She bent over as she took two samurai ninja swords lying on the passenger’s seat and latch it onto her back; the swords are straight and short, having very sharp edges. Then, she took the roll of knives and slipped as many as she could into her boots and strapped the remaining to her suit belt. She suited up for the deadly mission ahead taking as much weapons as she could, ranging from the shurikens (throwing stars) to the makibishi; the makibishi is a kind of tiny revet and it’s a cube shaped weapon with several sharp arms. She took two cannon guns and tucked it in her suit while she held the twin silverballers in her hands. Then, she started off towards her guards who had alighted from the hilux van and had changed into a ninja suit each.

“Anata watashe kure ___ listen guards”, she said immediately she got to their front and they all quickly bowed and fixate their gaze on her.

She briefed them about the mission and instructed them on the do’s and don’ts, emphasizing on their target who is considered dangerous by her.

“Kanojo abunai desu ad tsukete kudasai”, she repeated which means “She’s dangerous and be very careful”.

“Arigatou”, they all chorused bowing down their heads.

“We have to move in before they get alerted that we are here”, Agent Matt said immediately she finished speaking with the guards.

Alexandra casted him a fugitive glance and continued walking towards the Mitsubishi lancer car.

“I want them to know we are here and ready for war”, she said and inadvertently looked back at him.

“The faceless are going down tonight”, she said and walked away.

(An hour later)

“Here is the place”, Dave said looking up at the building enclosed by the tall fence.

Cole grounded the car to a halt and turned off the ignition. He looked at Dave.

“You sure this is the place?”, he asked pointing at the building.

“Here is the location”, Dave showed him the location displaying on the device.

Cole nodded. “Let’s move in”.

They hopped out of the sedan and began walking towards the building with their guns pointed straight. They stopped halfway to the gigantic gate.

“Are we to climb over the fence?”, Dave asked.

“Sssshhh”, Cole waved him over putting his index finger to his l-ips, signaling him to keep quiet. Dave inched nearer to Cole with silent steps. Cole was holding a palm torch and was flashing it at the gate’s computerized key lock which was slightly open and out of place.

“You see that?”, Cole pointed out.

Dave nodded.

“I think someone else got here before us”

“Why did you say so?”, Dave asked curiously.

“The gate encrypted key lock has been cracked open by someone using the exact same torch am holding which cracks the password once the rays hit the keys”, Cole explained.

“Who could it be?”

“There’s only one way to find out”

“What way?”, Dave asked.

“I’ll have to go in through the gate”, Cole whispered to him.

“You? Or we?”

Cole turned to look at him.

“See Dave, I’ll have to go in alone while you wait for me here”

“Wait for you?”

“Yes, stay by the gate and don’t come in except you hear gunshots or I call for help, okay?”

“Wait for gunshots? You could be dead by then.” Dave said.

“Or we could go in together and both die. Just do what I said, the world needs you alive.” Cole said and turned towards the door.

“No way!”, Dave shouted grabbing his arm.

“Shush!”, Cole angrily hushed him to be quiet.

“There’s no way am letting you go in there. I prefer we both die than allowing you to go and die alone”, Dave said and started off towards the gate with his gun pointed forward.

Cole shrugged and followed after him. They pushed the gate open and it automatically slid to the side, startling them as they both clutched their guns. They stepped into the massive compound to meet a surprise. Dead bodies littered the floor with a throwing star on each of their foreheads.

Cole immediately became alerted of the danger ahead. He glanced around as his eyes darted to the four corners of the compound but it seemed whoever did that had already left the compound.

Cole bent down to one of the bodies. He wore gloves before pulling out the throwing star and scrutinize it. It looked familiar.

“Dave”, he called and Dave spun around.

“You remembered this”, he showed it to him.

Dave nodded slowly. “Its a throwing star, the same one the vicious killer used in killing the governor’s personal officers”

“Take”, he tossed it to him. “Keep it. It’s an evidence”.
