Chapter 62 Reunion

"Alright, you two. Go ahead down to the basement and stay in position. I got one more stop to make before I join you guys down there." Jacob instructed the two other guys as they quietly left the communication room of the warehouse after they were done sabotaging it.

The two guys nodded and they parted ways with Jacob who went back to the lounge area. He reached into his pocket and took out a card that was not his but rather Mako's.

Mako had given him his room access card for the lounge and instructed him to go there and look under the bed where the power weapons that they had just stolen were hidden wrapped in a white cloth.

Jacob entered the room and locked it behind him so that nobody would accidentally enter. He peeked under the bed and sure enough, there was a large white cloth that was covering the power weapons that they had stolen from the armory.

The difficult part now was that Jacob would have to somehow go to the basement without being noticed carrying some power weapons wrapped in a piece of cloth.

Luckily, Jacob was a master at this as he had experience doing this type of thing while he was still a member of the Dark Raven. His physique and skill paired with the wind ability made him a good choice when stealing something or pulling out a heist, plus he still had the three smoke bombs he could use if he got himself in a pickle.

Jacob masterfully parkoured over pipes as he quickly and silently moved across the warehouse to reach the basement. There were a couple of times when a guard would look in his direction as passed by but thanks to the wind ability, he was fast enough that the guard that looked thought that it might just be their imagination.

With no hiccups in his silent journey, Jacob successfully reached the basement. The basement was currently very noisy as all the prisoners had been working long, painful, and harsh hours and they now just wanted their meal so that they could enjoy what little happiness they could have with a barely filling meal.

The two boys and two other guards were on lunch duty as they were handing out meal packets to the prisoners that had formed lines behind the bars impatiently waiting their turn to get food.

Jacob came down the stairs and entered the main area. He dropped the cloth that was holding the power weapons as they made a loud *Clang!* noise as they hit the ground.

"Oi! What the hell do you think you're doing here, mate?" One of the guards shouted as turned around to face Jacob.

Jacob didn't reply to the guard, but rather looked toward the two guys and nodded. Before the two guards could even understand, The two guys released their lightning abilities and shocked both of the guards, and knocked them out cold.

Jacob gave the two guards the same treatment that Mako had given to the rat and then broke off the cell gate. A wave of low-volume cheering erupted from the prisoners as they finally had the chance to have freedom.

After breaking down the door, Jacob entered the prisoner's area as he scanned over the crowd of prisoners as if he was looking for someone.

There were of course members of the Dark Raven that approached him first and gave him hugs as they embraced their friend after being imprisoned for so long. Jacob received the hugs and exchanged pleasantries with his old comrades, but his eyes were still scanning through the crowd as if he still hadn't found what he was looking for.

From the far end of the crowd that was surrounding Jacob at the moment, people started to feel someone tugging and pushing as they made their way toward the center. This person was quite agile as it didn't take long for them to reach the center of the crowd and come directly in the line of sight of Jacob.

Jacob's eyes widened as he finally found who he was looking for. In front of him, was a young girl that didn't look much older than sixteen, wearing ragged and torn clothes and had messy and puffy unkempt hair. She had the same eye and skin color as Jacob and currently, and tears were running down her face.

Jacob rushed over at high speed toward the girl as he embraced her in the tightest of hugs he could muster. Tears ran down both of their faces as they held each tightly.

"Keisha! I missed you so much!" Jacob said as he embraced the little girl with tears running down his face like rivers.

"I missed you too, daddy! They... captured me... and.. and they locked me in here!" Keisha was also hugging her father tightly while tears and hiccups were making it hard for her put words together.

"Shhh.. shh... it's okay. I am here now. I will get you out of here." Jacob comforted his daughter as he broke the hug and wiped away her tears.

*************

The warehouses had both male and female prisoners. Even though the female population was quite low in them, they were still present and had slightly sectioned off areas from the remaining beds so that they could have some privacy; if you could even call it that.

The females were also worked and beaten the same way as the male workers and sadly Keisha was one of them. Nearly a year ago, Kiesha ran away as a rebel teenager after a senseless argument with his father. He figured that she would be back home eventually in a couple of hours, but that never happened.

Hours turned into days, and days turned into weeks as Jacob could not locate his daughter anywhere. Meanwhile, Kiesha had been transported to this warehouse after being tricked by a couple of guys who promised her that they would offer her a place to stay and give her decent money if she would agree to model for them.

Kiesha fell for their trick easily in her desperation of becoming independent. The guys couldn't actually use her body for anything since any material posted on the internet or anywhere else public could be easily recognized by the advanced AI mechanisms set in place to monitor the new content and report suspicious activity to the police.

The guys just ended up selling her to the warehouse for some cash and she had been living here with a few other girls ever since.

Jacob tried everything in his power to find out what had happened to her daughter, and after ten months, he finally received news that she was imprisoned in of El Diablo's warehouses.

After learning this, Jacob had only one goal and that was to break his daughter out of that hellhole. He knew of some other members that had also lost some loved ones that had been imprisoned in similar warehouses and wanted revenge. He gathered as many as he could and tried to convince his seniors to allow them to raid the warehouse but it all got turned down by Paul due to the fear of a potential gang war.

Jacob's blood was boiling with rage at how the seniors were dealing with this situation, but he couldn't give up because he needed the resources and manpower to pull off something like this.

He kept on persisting and around a few days ago, he decided that he had enough and was going to leave the gang and do whatever it took to have his daughter back. However, just before he resigned from the gang, he got a call from his senior saying that the big boss wanted to speak with him along with a couple of others.

Paul explained to them Mako's plan and told them that this would be their last mission. They were free to leave afterward as all of them were planning on leaving anyway and doing it themselves so why not do it in a well-planned manner and still have your freedom? Additionally this way, the mission could not be linked back to him in any way.

They all agreed quickly as it was a well-thought-out plan and decided to accompany Mako and his other friends to help break their loved ones out of that warehouse.

************

Jacob and Keisha continued to embrace each other for a couple more moments before they composed themselves and let go of each other.

Now that Jacob was successful in reuniting with his daughter, he continued on with the plan. He grabbed the weapons that were covered with the cloth and untied the cloth to reveal the weapons. He handed a small knife to his daughter and distributed the remaining weapons to the strongest prisoners who could at least put up a fight and most of them were Dark Raven members.

The preparations were now complete. Jacob activated the communication channel and spoke to Mako, telling him that they were prepared and in position so it was time for the fireworks to start.

Mako on the other side had a smile on his face as he had been waiting to press the small button in his pocket for a while and now he was finally able to do so.

"Showtime!"
