Dedicated to @Kokkina8 for always reading,voting and making me laugh with his comments 😂

You've kept me motivated to write ( thank you ❤️)

~x~

We were now in the car, staring nervously at each other and the kidnappers.

I couldn't understand how these people got through all the security of the island.

And the big question was that how the hell did they even enter the island with all of the barricades?

We stopped a few meters from the gated entrance of the island.

The main guy who told us his name was Xavier was fidgeting with a few switches.

I was scared that he'd press a button and the gate was gonna blast.

'Listen up idiots' A familiar voice boomed.

I looked up to see Vicky on a screen,confusion evident on our faces as Xavier smirked.

'Look at their faces Vick,they better not screw up.' Xavier snarled.

'Xav,they're gonna be fine.'He replied confidently for the most part while giving us a warning glare.

'Okay what is going on ?' Neil finally asked.

'Oh they speak.' The man on Xavier's right mumbled as I glared at him.

'You,my hostages are going on your first mission.' He states simply.

'And you better not mess this up.'

Neil and I stared at each other.

Well,damn.

-x-

The plan had been discussed,roles had been assigned and weapons had been allotted. We both were given handguns along with knives that Neil wanted to trade for something more handy like a steel rod (crazy I know) but he had been ignored.

I, on the other hand, was filled with joy when the knives were handed out.

Knives hurt,Guns kill.

Vicky's voice echoed in my head.

I didn't want to kill people,I just wanted to get the job done and leave.

The gun was safely tucked into a pocket of my jacket,I hoped that it wouldn't see the light of the day.

That it didn't come down to that.

A girl could only hope,I suppose.

My chain of thoughts was broken by a loud voice, "The mission is simple Winters and Jackson taking the lead and securing a path to the building for the rest of the boys, Black here will then join Winters and Jackson once they locate the hard disk hidden in one of the gang vehicles which of course contains the code we're looking for while the rest of the men led by me shall get rid of as many gang members as possible and find a few willing to give us information.'

Luther, Xavier's first in command,paused and stared directly at us and the rest of the team, "You must however at no point forget what's at stake here and that the mission isn't as easy as it sounds. We're trying to take down one of the biggest virus spreading gang chains in the world. It isn't an easy task and this is just the first step. It's up to all of you now, emerge victorious or watch the rest of the country die."

He didn't look like a very intimidating man but I realized that it was his way of speaking that could send chills down your spine,how persuasive he could be, how simply he could describe something dangerous and convince you to do it.

Xavier,seeing that Luther was done talking,stepped in front.

'Boys' he paused noticing me 'and girls,enough with the work talk, let's have some fun now.'

"What do you say Rick? Let's have some fun with the newbies."

Ricky,an almost bald middle- aged man,who I just seemed to notice smirked

"Oh this is going to be so much fun."

I could sense fun here meant trouble.

And that couldn't bring about any good.

Heyyyy guyyyss

Sorry for the delay :(

Hope the long chapter makes up for it <3

Stay Safe, take care!
