"Are you ready?" Revon asked. Standing at the balcony of the ruined mansion that once belonged to Tamis, Revon's eyes looked over as his man waited for him in the courtyard, all wielding new weapons they just got two days back. Tonight they were going to attack at Blaska Bolts' den. He waited for two days to teach his men the functioning of the new weapons and how to use them.
Suyin tucked a gun at her waist, and the rifle on her shoulder. It was pretty heavy for her. Thanks to her morning exercises she'd be able to bear it for a few hours. "I am." She walked to Revon, looking as her army looked up. Most of them were just civilians, and inexperienced. On the side their family was standing, some crying, some praying. "Why not ask them?"
"FOR OUR FUTURE!" Revon raised his rifle in the air. Army followed the action, roaring in the raw emotion. "Fight until every Blaska is dead or surrender. This is our home, and we won't let anyone taint it."
Suyin's shoved her hand in the pocket of her coat, her fingers curling at the photograph. With her cold eyes she scanned every man standing one level down. As she turned, Revon's eyes met with hers. A secret message passed, and they just nodded at each other.
********
In the camp,
Somewhere in the hidden corner,
A man walked away from the army wild with fighting spirit and answered his phone.
[What? Don't tell me mission took the dive?"]
"Everything is going accordingly. Attack from west gate. Total men around 3k. Latest, weapons, and vehicles. Be prepared."
[Hahaha.... It's good. I have mobilised my entire army of 15k. This will be their end."
"No No.... you listen. Kill anyone you want, but don't touch Zeke. He's a useful pawn. Alpha will love it. Keep your brainless away from him. Don't forget we are about to get new weapons and vehicles because of him, and the death of Sandrios brigade is a bonus. Get it?"
No reply came from the other side.
"Hey? I am gonna to take that as a yes. Don't mess with baldy. I want him alive." The man hung, revealing a crooked smile as he looked up at Zeke and Revon standing on the balcony.
*********
"I will take this wheel," Suyin took control of the armoured vehicle. She may not have any experience in fighting, or wielding guns or rifles, but she definitely had mastered driving. No one can beat her to that.
"I will come with you," Luo hoped onto the shotgun seat. Suyin could smell Marijuana from him, her brows wrinkled. He caught her eyes on him, "It won't affect my fighting skills."
"But they definitely would have been better if you were sober."
"I'm better off not sober. Feeling nothing is so much better...." He muttered in a voice so meek that Suyin was not sure it was meant for her to hear or not. Who cares? Luo had been weird from day one. Not like she's not weird. But Luo had been exceptional. other than smoking marijuana, and following her, he did nothing. Not even once he took the opportunity to ask Revon about his lost brother. It's as if he doesn't want to.
"I will join you guys as well,"
"No, you can't," Luo grumbled.
Reis looked at Suyin, "Zeke?"
"Either get in or don't. I don't have time for an argument between a druggie and a quack. You both seem to be nothing but just clingy and clueless for no reason."
Suyin's words didn't affect Reis. They never do. But it rankled Luo. "I'm not clueless!"
The jeep rumbled, smoke curled from the tailpipe, and the next moment it flew without a warning. Reis immediately held onto something for his dear life.
"That--" Suyin said, "--I can't see why not. It's been over a week since we are here, have you inquired Revon or anyone else about your lost brother?" The wind whipped through the window, and Suyin seemed to ignore how Reis screamed whenever she took sharp turns at a high speed, catching up with Revon's military jeep ahead.
They drove on a narrow road through the dunes. Every time it rose and fall, Reis would let out a scream as if he was about to die. "Slow down,"
Suyin, "Why not I pull over, and kick you out? Sounds best." Reis shut his mouth, clenching on to whatever he could for his dear life. Luo on the other hand had his eyes fixed ahead blankly. Suyin knew he wanted to say something but Reis' presence was holding him.
******
"We'll get down from here. Let others follow," She heard Revon's voice in the ear-mic, and turned off the engine. Reis immediately jumped down from the car and ran away from the jeep. Suyin looked he leaned forward, puking his guts out.
There were no signs pointing in any direction, but since this was the only road, it's probably the point from where they were to walk. They found themselves amidst the ominous place surrounded by damaged houses from both sides of the road. Eerily silent.
This must be once bustling with people, chirps of kids, but now it narrates the brutal reality of the war the country had been going through and a perfect place for a hideout.
"I know Revon doesn't have any information about my brother, nor he can help me." Luo spoke up, bringing Suyin's away from Reis. "It's been twenty-two years we lost him. Do you think he'd be found in these camps or these militia leaders would have any clue of a boy kidnapped twenty-two years back? It's not easy."
"Twenty-two years? Just how old is your brother?" Though she never asked, judging Luo's age which seems to be in early forties she had guessed his brother should be somewhere in thirties.
"Lucian should be thirty years seven months and sixteen days old."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #._52087006603304159 for visiting.
Ah, her guess was right.
Luo was lost in silence, his hands shaking as if he was taken into a memory.
"What had happened?"
That made Luo chuckle, "It's the first time you asked about my brother. Feeling pity?"
She shook her head, "Why should I when just like you I'm fighting a battle as well? If you don't want to--"
"We lost him because of me," Suyin swallowed rest of the words when Luo started talking. "You have no idea how desperate I' am to find him and deliver him to his mother. Twenty-two years! I lost twenty-two f.u.c.k*ng precious years of my life because of that basta*d from France. I don't know which swamp he is lying in, but even if he's dead; I am going to dig his bones out and give it to his mother. I'm tired of being blamed. Tired of seeing with accusing eyes. I'm tired of everything. Just that one incident has destroyed my entire life. For God's sake, I want to live my life for once."
Luo was so lost in that moment of anger, and the torment in his brain was that Suyin could see the tension in his muscles. His fists stayed firmly to his side, clenched, hidden. His jaw clenched. "Don't say I'm not trying. I dedicate my entire life in finding him. For the information, I have already secretly scanned the data Revon had given to you. As expected, couldn't find any information."
"Twenty-two years is a long time. Not to forget he is a grown up man. You don't even know how he looks."
"I know, but I have my way to find him." He shuffled close to her, leaning, "Though it's my doubt, but if Lucian is alive, he should be somewhere working for a powerful man. A man like this trafficker."
"Why?"
"Because he has a rare--" Luo stopped abruptly.
"Do you guys have water?" Reis opened the vehicle's door, and asked. Suyin and Luo looked away. "Ah, never mind. I'm feeling better."
Suyin glance as Luo stepped down to smoke Marijuana. His words left him confused, with many unanswered questions. Why did he say 'His mother'? Isn't Ma Roma Luo's mother as well? How did he lost Lucian? Why the hatred?
