  "Did you follow him to make sure he was telling the truth?"

  "I didn't have to Duchess, I drove him there." Herman said.

  Hearing that, his fellow protector and Brunhilde look at him intensely.

  "You did what!?" She asked with a voice way too calm to be a good sign.

  "He managed to spot me the instant he left the Hotel and walked to me. After he told me that he couldn't come, he claimed that since I was going to follow him whatever he does, we should as well go together to the Airport. That way, I managed to confirm that he did in fact take the plane to Miami."

  "I see. We will talk about this more Herman." She said with a voice so cold that made the two protectors shivers. ���I'm going to shower." She adds before walking away.

  None of her two protectors ever noticed the amused smile that she let out once she had turned her back to them.

  Chapter 218: :

  San Pedro. Belize. 07/04/2013. 01:25.

  On the North East of the island, the street name Bocca Del Rio Drive was following the coast line, separating the beach with the rest of the city. Even if it was late in the night, there were still a lot of people partying and enjoying themselves in the water, enjoying the fact that it was the weekend and it was still quite warm at this hour. Loud music was coming from the numerous beach bars near the water and the atmosphere was quite festive.

  Even among the other people walking on the street and wearing bathing suits, there were three particular young women that were gathering a decent amount of attention. Even if they were wearing very skimpy, almost vulgar outfits, that wasn't the whole reason why they were looked at by so many people. No, the main reason for that was because the three of them were stunning in their own way. The first was a hispanic bimbo, the second was an european model and the third was a stunning asian young woman. The three women were heavily made up and looked intoxicated, not walking straight and giggling hysterically between them.

  "You are going to pay for this Nathaniel, mark my word." Camilla voice whispers in the com between two giggling.

  There were quite a few laughs in the com, it wasn't the first time that she had threatened him that day.

  "We talked about this already, we need to use that way to get inside the property, there are too many civilians on the street to go in by force. We talked about this already, why are you still pissed off at me?" Nathaniel whispered back, he was currently hiding in the shadow of the bush near the target.

  "Someone needs to pay for what I'm going through here and since this is your plan, I decided it will be you."

  "Well, it doesn't seem fair but suits yourself. For the record, I like you all better without the makeup and the outfit you are currently wearing." Nathaniel said honestly.

  The fact that they were so heavily made up wasn't an accident but something intended from the beginning. It was an effective way to change their appearance and to be honest, making them uglier to suit their purpose. If they were going in with their original appearance, nobody would believe the role that they were impersonating.

  "At least you girls can show off, me? I'm relegated to hide my ugly face away from the light." Lina injected herself into the conversation with a hint of humor.

  Lina was currently five hundred feet away from the position of Nathaniel, posted on top of a five story building. In her hands was a AW L96A1 sniper rifle, her right eye glued to the sight, looking with attention at the street below her and particularly to the girls. She had tried a lot of different sniper rifles while she was training with the team but she had bound to this one easily. Near her, was Hans looking through thermal binoculars, keeping his attention on the house that they were targeting, his M4 near him.

  "That isn't true and you know it. You are our eyes in the sky. Do you see something interesting from where you are?" Nathaniel asked.

  "Beside a lot of guys trying to make love to our girls with their eyes, there is nothing I can see." Lina smirk.

  "Hans?"

  "I see a lot of heat signatures inside the house, I can say between ten and fifteen, excluding the two outside right now. They are standing too close to each other inside the house for me to be more precise than that."

  "Got it, girls it's up to you now and Camilla you should move your hips a little more when you walk." Nathaniel said before cutting the com to mute the insults that he was sure came his way.

  Lucie, Camilla and Na-Yung kept walking in the direction of the house when they were stopped at the gate by the two guards. The two were leering at the girl with undisguised lust, the girls smiling shyly at them.

  "Hey girls, what are you doing here at this hour?" The guard asks in spanish.

  "We are here to have some fun with you guys. Madam Guerrero is the one who sent us." Camilla answered.

  They had learned after poking around and paying some information that there was some mercenary who was quite actif in a brothel but didn't visit for the last two weeks. After looking into this some more and spending a few thousand dollars, they had found out that this was indeed the people they were looking for. They were keeping a low profile and stayed in this house the last weeks without communicating with their friend and family. That is why Nathaniel had devised that plan to enter the property.

  Hearing what Camilla said, the guard smile stifled.

  "That's nice of her to do so but we are busy girls, we can't let you in. I'm sorry." He said, shooking his head.

  "That will be free of charge, we are a gift. Madam Guerrero sent us here for us to learn with some fine gentlemen like you are. We are very new and we would like to learn from you, a lot." Camilla added sultrily, biting her lips.

  "Ah ohhhh…" The guard start to stammer, his eyes glued to Camilla lips. "Okay follow me."

  "Thanks, handsome." Camilla said with a bright smile.

  The two guards lead the girls to the front door where he knocks on it using a distinctive pattern. The front door didn't take long to open, making a man appear in the doorway.

  "What the hell do you wa...." The man said harshly before stopping quickly seeing the three girls. "Who are they?"

  "A gift from Madam Guerrero." The guard said with a smile.

  Attracted by the conversation, a few more heads appear behind the one who open the doors and they start looking at the three girls while licking their lips.

  "And? Do you know what is at stake right now morron?"

  "Dude! They are new and they are hands down the hotter girls the brothel ever has. And they are free!"

  "Wait, when you say new, you mean…" He trailed off.

  "Yes, new AND free! This is an offer too good to pass on." He said excitedly.

  "Holy fu**! Girls, you can enter." He said.

  Moving to the side, he let the girls get past him, spanking Lucie on the way before moving back in the doorway to block the two guards.

  "What the hell do you think you are doing? Get back to your frigging post or I'm calling the boss on you!" He shouted before slamming the door in his face.

  The two guards outside start raging immediately after the door smack in their face.

  "What bastard!"

  "Yeah, that morron hates me since the time I hooked up with his younger sister! Well, not gonna lie, she was w..." He started to say when he was stopped by two hands coming to his mouth and neck.

  With a powerful twist, the guard neck broke and he was dead before knowing how that happened. Accompanying the body to the ground to avoid making a sound. Silently, Nathaniel took the body and hid it to the side of the building. Looking up, Nathaniel saw Scott doing the same thing. Nodding in his direction, Nathaniel took a bag from where he left it early and put it to the side of the front door, Scott doing the same thing. The both of them were wearing hoods with black camo, beneath full tactical gears, Nathaniel with his usual HK416 in hands.

  Making a signal to Scott, he nodded before lifting Nathaniel up for him to cut the wire of the light on top of the door. Once it was done, the two of them took position on both sides o
f the door before Nathaniel made a single, quiet knock on it. The door swings open, revealing Na-Yung in her skimpy outfit. Taking the bag they had brought with them, Nathaniel and Scott enter the room, Na-Yung closing after them.

  The previously calm living room was now looking like a scene coming from a horror movie. The five mercenaries who were previously enjoying a game of cards while drinking beers were now lying on the ground in a puddle of their own blood. Putting the two bags in a relatively clean space, Nathaniel took position and aimed his weapon in the direction of the staircase while Scott did the same thing in the direction of the hallway, both of them turning their back on the girls.

  Wordlessly, Camilla, Lucie and Na-Yung open the two bags and start taking off their clothes before putting the same black camo that Nathaniel and the rest of the team were wearing.

  "I swear, if I see your head turn even a little bit, I'm going to shoot you." Camilla threatens, making Nathaniel and Scott smile.

  A minute later, the girls were fully dressed and had armed themselves with their weapons, a hood hiding their faces.

  "How is it going Lina?" Scott asked in the com.

  "So far so good, everything is calm outside." She answered.

  "Good, good. We go according to the plan. Nathaniel and Camilla go to the first floor while we clean the ground floor. Stay alert from an entry to the basement, this is where the girls are most likely held." Scott reminds everyone.

  "Wait, I have a contact." Hans interrupts suddenly.

  "What is it?" Scott asked.

  "Based on what I'm seeing right now on thermal, someone is going to the rooftop."

  "This is bad." Nathaniel said. "This person is going to see that the two guards are no longer there and if he looks closely, he will find their body in the grass. If the alarm is triggered, our chances of getting the girls alive are going to be close to none." He adds with gravity.

  Chapter 219: :

  The hatch on the rooftop suddenly opened and confirming what Hans warned the team, a man finished ascending the ladder and stood up. Fishing in his pocket, the kidnappers took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Once he had lit his cigarette, Lina clearly saw that he had a handgun on his belt and he was moving in the direction of the two dead guards.

  "Hans, how far are we from the building? Exactly." She asked, taking a more optimal position.

  "What? Lina, what do you want to do?" He asked, looking at her surprised.

  "What do you think!? You heard Nathaniel, if the alarm is triggered, we will never get the hostages alive."

  "We are not ready for this and you know it! You've never shot anyone before, this is insanity!"

  "We don't have a choice in this matter, this is not about if we are ready, it is about doing what needs to be done! Now, start doing your fu**ing work and give me the information I need. I had five seconds to shoot him before he arrived near the end of the rooftop and realized something was not right. " She said, irritated.

  Seeing that she was determined, Hand hurriedly grabbed a notebook where he had put every data they needed. Even if he thought they were just there as a backup and would not intervene, he liked to be ready and like Lina said, this was his job. He wasn't dumb enough to skirt what he needed to do in a mission considering the risk at stakes.

  "455 yard away." Hans read the sketch he drew earlier that day.

  "Wind?"

  "Variable, 20-25 MPH coming from the North East."

  Acknowledging the information she was given, Lina adjusted her sight on the target. Her heart was beating like crazy and her mind was in turmoil but she still did her best to calm herself. Controlling her breathing the best that she could, her index finger started to put pressure on the trigger.

  'Slow and steady Lina, slow and steady.' She whispers inside her mind before pulling the trigger all the way.

  Tanking the recoil of her sniper rifle, the bullet flew true, hurling itself to the man who was looking down and hitting him in center mass. The force of the hit made the man topple backward and touch the ground hard. Looking through her sight, Lina made sure that he wasn't moving anymore before calling in the com.

  "Target eliminated." She said in a much calmer voice than what she was feeling inside.

  There was only silence in the com until Nathaniel answered a few seconds later.

  "Good job Lina." He called in a soft voice.

  "Alright, it's time for you two to get the hell out of dodge." Scott ordered. "Jon, go pick them up and then come here, we unlock the gateway so you can park in front of the door."

  Even if the suppressor did a good job to muffle the sound of gunfire, and there was music raging near them on the beach bar, there was still a chance that someone picked up the unique sound of a gun firing. Lina quickly took apart her sniper rifle and stuff in an empty guitar case, Hans doing the same before closing it and slinging the guitar case on his back. After that, they run on the opposite side of the rooftop and toss a rope they had installed earlier that day to exit quickly.

  If it was even last year, the both of them would never have had the confidence or the courage to do rappel on the side of a five storey building at night time. A year later after extremely hard and demanding training, they did so with surprising ease. Touching the ground, a mini van stopped on the side of the building and they quickly got in, nodding in Jon's direction.

  Inside the house, Nathaniel and Camilla were busy going room to room and killing everyone they met with silent efficiency. Three people already died in their sleep, their throat slit and one had his neck broken when he was coming back from the shower. Arriving in front of the last door, Nathaniel silently opened it while Camilla followed him inside. They were going to slit the man's throat when Nathaniel raised his hand in the air.

  "That's the one who we were looking for." He whispers to her.

  "Then let's wake him up." She answers.

  Nathaniel could not see her smile but he was sure it was there, which was confirmed when she hit him on the side of the head with the butt of her gun to wake him up. Let's just say that her method was effective when the man took instantly a sitting position and put his hands in front of him to protect himself. From Nathaniel's perspective, it seems to be that it wasn't the first time he was woken up like that, most likely when he was in jail.

  The guy looked quite pissed off to be awakened like that but his protest was instantly stopped by two automatic weapons strained on his face.

  "Morning sunshine."

  "What do you want? Let me tell you now, I will not tell you anything you want to hear so don't even bother asking about it!"

  "Yeah, I'm sure you would say that." Nathaniel said. "I don't care about you or your closed ones, no. What I want to know is who helped you get out of jail and target the daughters of Senator Livingston. Tell me that and you will be free to join hell with your dead teammates. Don't tell me that and things are going to get messier and very painful for you."

  "This is where you are wrong, when I launched myself in this adventure, I swear to myself that I will not go back to jail and you bet I'm not going to let you torture me either. No, this is the end of the road for me and you." He said, determined.

  Nathaniel was starting to think that someone wasn't right with the situation and what happened next confirmed it. The man lifts his only hand still under the cover and shows a hand grenade missing it's pin. Nathaniel reacted instantly pushing Camilla out of the room. With a cruel smile, the kidnapper made a move to launch the grenade in the hallway but Nathaniel was quicker.

  He made two shots with his HK416, the first hit the man shoulder and the second his elbow. The grenade fell from his hand and the hatch released, falling into the man still on his bed. Nathaniel made a third shot in the man's head, killing him instantly before gripping the edge of the bed with his two hands and flipping it over. After that, he ran out of the room and taking Camilla with him, ran as far as he could from the room.

  "Everybody down!" Nathaniel shouted on the com.

&nbs
p; The next moment, the room they were just in exploded, throwing plaster and wood everywhere around them. Getting back to his feets, Nathaniel shook himself, trying to make his ears stop ringing. Even if he had protected them before the explosion, they were still too closed of the location to avoid being hurt by it. Stretching his hand, he helped Camilla to get back on her feet.

  "Who the hell is sleeping with a frigging hand grenade on their bed!?" She shouted way too loudly in Nathaniel's opinion.

  "Someone who really doesn't want to get caught."

  "Yeah, is this what I think this is?" Camilla said, looking at the room who just blew up.

  "I'm afraid it is indeed five millions dollars burning away." Nathaniel laughed. "Come on, we need to move." He said.

  Pulling a very recalcitrant Camilla who was looking at the money with chagrin away from the fire that was gaining intensity, Nathaniel realized that someone was calling him in his earpiece.

  "Nathaniel, Camilla, come in! What the hell was that?" Scott asked in the com.

  "A kamikaze, we are alright tho. The top floor is clear, we are coming to you right now." Nathaniel answered.

  "Glad to hear but now we need to get the hell out of here, we have five minutes top before the cops storm the place. We have a problem here, we clear the ground floor and find the hostages in the basement, the entry is behind the kitchen, you need to come ASAP."

  "Coming."

  Running downstairs, Nathaniel and Camilla easily found the entry to the basement thanks to Scott's instruction and once down there they stopped abruptly, shocked to see what was in front of them. What they saw were makeshift cages made with a mix of steel bars and wood panels. The stench inside the basement was horrendous which wasn't surprising considering there was no toilet in there and the hostages were all covered in dust, sooth and worst things.

  Nathaniel understood instantly why Scott called. There wasn't only the Senator daughters detained here but almost ten more people were locked in those cages. Nathaniel had to lock his jaw in anger when he saw two teenagers among the hostages, feeling better when he knew that everyone beside them was dead right now. His team was busy freeing everyone right now and were giving them some water and proteins bars they had on them.
