Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 384: Another Extraction Ill

"Where is everyone?" Sandro whispered, looking around the space they were currently in. Having passed two

corridors with no one to fire a silencer gun at, things were beginning to look suspicious.

For one, Athena was beginning to think that Spider had perhaps gotten tired of being loyal to Ewan—that

perhaps he had sold them to the gang. Worse, he hadn't dropped any message in their buds since detonating

that bomb in the plane.

She looked at Ewan, seeing the apprehension in his face—something she thought was an alien quality, because

her ex-husband was rarely flustered, always calm.

"Do you think we have fallen into a trap?" she asked him, nudging him with her shoulder gently.

He licked his lower lip, darted his eyes to the center block, which was right opposite them—no guards guarding

it, as Spider had warned.

"I don’t know. | don’t think Spider would have led us to a trap. So, it's either this is luck, or he is being kept out of

the loop, being suspected by Kael."

Zane and Sandro exchanged glances tainted with fear.

"Who is Kael?" Athena and Aiden asked at the stime, worry burning on their faces, worry born from the

expressions on Sandro and Zane's faces, and from Ewan’s flusteredness.

"Kael is the new leader of the gang," Ewan replied, inhaling deeply. "Let's move forward. If it's a trap, we buckle

down and fight to the end, knowing we are fighting for a good cause, for the future of our children at large... and

if it's not, then fate is more than on our side. We don’t have much tto contemplate or wonder."

But as Ewan moved toward the center block, eyes darting here and there, he really did wonder. Had Spider's

loyalties run their course? Or was his friend playing another game? Or was Kael playing them like pawns in a

chess game?

His successor was known for his sly and cunning tactics in business. Ewan’s brain calculated, amidst the slight

headache now throbbing in his head, the possibilities, the realities, the escape routes, as he remembered from

his there.

When they reached the door of the room where the victims were, their woes were compounded by the fact that

the door was open.

"Ewan..."

"Let's just look and see if they are there..." Ewan cut in, interrupting whatever fear-themed suggestion Zane

wanted to make.

He moved in first, a furrow marring his forehead, gun hanging loosely by his side when he realized that Lucas

and Kendra weren't absent.

He watched as Lucas stirred painfully from his position. He was leaning on the wall with his back, while Kendra

slept with her head on his thigh.

Ewan immediately placed a finger on his lips, indicating that the latter kept quiet.

Lucas nodded, eyes shimmering with tears of gratitude, as he tapped Kendra awake.

Kendra, waking up, met her father’s gaze. Then, noting the presence of people in the room, she turned. Her

mouth opened when she saw Athena, shutting when she saw the finger placed on the lips of her friend's mother.

Keep quiet.

She understood and did.

Immediately, Aiden rushed forward and carried her on his back, a smile on his lips, momentarily forgetting his

worries when she wound her hand around his neck, her legs around his waist, and muttered a thank you.

Though her tiny legs couldn’t do much, he was pleased she understood what they were here for.

Meanwhile, Sandro and Zane had lifted Lucas, bearing much of his weight. Then Ewan’s alarm rang, shattering

the quiet. A beep, really.

"We are almost out. Just four minutes more. Let's move out," he declared, noting the cameras which weren't

blinking. Spider had done what he said he would do—but where were the others?

Why wasn’t he saying anything in their communication systems?

He flanked his people behind, turning at intervals with the gun strategically, in case a criminal was coming

around, while Athena flanked the front. Aiden helped along, since Kendra’s understanding had helped with easier

body movements.

But they met no one, saw no one—even at the gates when they cout. Because they wore masks, they had

no fear that any camera had captured their faces, if paraventure they were being watched.

"This was too easy," Sandro muttered, when they got to the agents waiting at the vegetation. The other three

agents had joined them when they cout of the gates, having the sreports—no one seen, except the

dead guards at the gate.

"Yes," Ewan agreed, restless. Where was Spider?

Without any words, they moved to the private jet, which was waiting a few miles away, as if knowing the

condition of Lucas.

With little effort, they lifted Lucas into the plane and into a relaxed seat.

Kendra took the position beside him, watching as Athena started treatments on the latter, who kept thanking

them for the extraction.

"Lucas, if you don’t keep quiet, I will let you be," Athena spoke hurriedly, aware of Ewan pacing restlessly feet

away from her.

The pilot’s voice cthrough the intercom:

"Departure in three minutes."

Pausing her treatment, she watched as Ewan reached for his phone, which he had left on the makeshift table

when they had gone for their mission.

She watched as his eyes widened at whatever he saw on it. She watched, worried, as he darted toward the door

of the craft while the engines hummed, opened the door, and jumped out.

"Zane, apply pressure on the wounds... and tell my grandfather to keep a medic waiting!" she shouted to a Zane

who was stunned at Ewan’s actions.

He had been focused on getting rid of the suit, and so had been caught unaware by Ewan’s action. Immobile

even as Athena hurried out of the space, even as she jumped after Ewan.

"Where is Ewan and Athena?" Aiden and Sandro asked, coming out of the cockpit area, frowns masking their

faces when silence greeted them.

"Zane?"

"They jumped out of the plane."

Aiden’s mouth opened in shock, then shut, aware of Kendra’s tears. She must have thought Athena wounded or

something from the jump.

"Don’t worry, she will be fine," he muttered, patting her head softly. Then he looked at Zane. "Did they say where

they were going to?"

Zane shook his head, disbelief yet coating his features. "Should we go back for them?"

Aiden looked at a bleeding Lucas and shook his head. "Athena would have our hide if anything happens to him.

Did she take her phone?"

Brian nodded. "I think she did."
