Several Jeeps were lined outside of an old warehouse in the western suburbs. Moreover, few men patrolled around the perimeter and some were even stationed at the entrance.
Alick and Elissa were locked in a small dark room with dirty oil barrels everywhere. It was so dark they could not see anything.
"Alick." Elissa nestled in Alick's arms while sobbing. Her little face was dirty with soot and dust. "I'm so scared!" she cried out.
"It's okay. We will get out of here for sure!" Alick hugged his sister tightly. He was her elder brother, so he must not be afraid!
"Will Dad come to save us?" whispered Elissa.
"He... He will!" Alick nodded and answered bravely. "If he wouldn't come to save us, we wouldn't call him Dad anymore."
"But Elissa is so scared."
While they were talking, somebody kicked the iron door of the dark room several times. The small window on the door opened, and they heard a woman's voice from the outside. "Hey, kids, are you still alive?"
"Ah! Woo!" Elissa jumped out of her skin and then burst into tears.
"Elissa, don't be afraid." Clenching his fists, Alick comforted his sister. He was trying so hard not to show fear b
thered around and began to discuss the "operation plan" seriously.
Five minutes later, everything was set and they were ready to go.
When William was about to take a step forward, Archer stopped him.
"What's wrong?" asked William while frowning.
"I have something to give you." Archer took out a weapon from nowhere, shook it on his fingers, and handed it to William. "Take it. Maybe it would help you."
After hesitating for half a second, William accepted it.
"Do you know how to use it?"
"Do you want me to try it on you?" William raised his eyebrow. "I've been playing with these things since I was a teenager." It was just that he did not want to follow his father's path anymore so he stayed away from illegal business.
"Good to hear." Archer shrugged and added, "Then I'll go arrange people first."
"Sure." Nodding, William turned around and walked upstairs.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Mary was sleeping soundly.
Chup! William walked over and kissed Mary's forehead. He murmured to himself, "Do you think God is testing me? You have just returned to my side. I think God could not stand it so I have to prove my masculinity."
