Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Another Extraction V

Athena folded her lips as she read the message for the second time, then the third. What was this that Spider had planned? Something that was capable of ending his life, something that would look like suicide.

She chastised herself again for thinking that the fellow had betrayed them, when the opposite was the case. Spider was too loyal!

She felt the need to see him, to know him, to understand his way of thinking. She couldn’t let him die. Her thoughts on this matter surprised her. What was wrong with her?

"Can you see my fears now?" Ewan’s voice dragged her from her thoughts.

"He is trying to commit suicide. The twat! How dare he do this without my permission!" He whisper-yelled, his hand stretching when Athena extended the phone to him.

"We can still save him, I think. He just sent the message a few minutes ago, so it means he’s still alive."

Ewan shook his head immediately. "Didn’t you see the message at the end, the one after many tabs?"

Athena frowned. She hadn’t.

"It was a scheduled message. It had been sent a while ago, maybe while we were on the plane, before the extraction."

Athena sighed, palming her forehead. "We need to get in there now. Do you have guns?"

Ewan looked foolish under the bright fluorescent light. "I was in a hurry," he chimed when Athena cocked a brow.

"You are not alone. I’m sure the guards are still dead. We can take their guns."

Ewan chuckled at the attempt at humor, standing and following Athena as she covered the distance between the last of the vegetation and the gates.

"Still empty. What exactly did he do to empty this place of people? Did he drug them or something?"

Ewan quickly paused, looking at Athena with slightly widened eyes, the AK-47 gun poised properly in his hands. "That might be it. He must have drugged them, and he might have done it in a way that would trigger Kael’s suspicions on him. We have to find a hall that would be big enough to contain the entire members..."

"Is there something like a cafeteria here, some place to eat?" Athena asked, connecting the dots. An eating space would be best for drugging.

"I don’t know. The last time I was here, there was none. But maybe there have been a few changes. But I do know a couple of large spaces. Let’s go."

In the first large space, they found a group of almost naked women, whimpering, stacked against each other like bread and ham.

Athena scowled, anger boiling within her at the view, at the implication.

"A new shipment," Ewan muttered bitterly, his earlier prayer going to the abyss. There would be a lot of detours. He knew that with Athena’s next statement.

"We can’t leave them there. They don’t want to be here. What will be their fate?"

"Prostitution mostly. Escorts for the wealthy." A pause. "But how do we get them out of here? We have limited hands, and there is no backup."

Athena bit her lips, then brought out her phone from her side pocket. "I will text the President the coordinates to this place. I think I still have it in my head from Spider’s narration. I will inform him it’s the location of the new gang that the Grey Virus sponsor had hired for his deeds. I will also tell him that a potential mole told me there might be drugs and other things here, that there should be many military men, and that this was an emergency. They should also save the women here..." A pause. "What do you think?"

She lifted her head from her typing spree, meeting Ewan’s unsure gaze.

"It might work, if the President is really on our side."

Athena exhaled fitfully. "But that’s the best we can do in this position."

And then she sent the message off and turned to the women, who watched them as if they were movie characters in a play. "Don’t worry. A rescue team will soon be here. But don’t move from this room. Do you hear me?"

The women nodded as if remote-controlled.

Athena glanced at them one last time, and then walked out of the room. She removed the key from the keyhole and threw it to one of the women, who now had hope in her eyes. "Lock the room from inside. Only open for the agents that will be coming here soon."

The woman nodded and rose to her feet.

Athena looked at Ewan. "Let’s go to the next space."

As they moved, she typed more and sent it to the President and Aiden, in case the President was not to be trusted.

In the second large room, after corridors that reminded Athena of a maze, they found children stacked on each other.

What was this?

And here I was celebrating, she thought, punching the inner of her palm with the other hand. Then an alarm blared, shattering their respective thoughts.
