Zachary heard about the assassins that attacked Nataliest night. James called him to request electronic ess. Well, since he''s been working with the Dragon Empire as a partner, it''s his job to give them the very best electronic security.
His smile tightened then he nced at the calendar. It''s been a week since hest saw his wife and he missed her dearly. There are a few more days to wait for her. He got plenty of time and those time, he needed to at least invent something so important. Protecting his wife and his family is the most important thing to do. So, preparing it now will be the very best.??
He reached his martini ss and sipped on it. He stared at the ss that he''s facing. There are types of sses and he needed something more than even a bullet of a sniper can''t break it with one shot. He tapped the ss and sighed.
"I also need an rm. The building should cover with this special ss."
He pulled out his phone and called his secretary. His secretary answered shortly and then he stared at the ss.
"Yes, boss?"
"Call the research team and gather information about sses. We need to build a stronger one that even a bullet can''t break it with a dozen of shots. I know that there''s a ss like that. We can double it." He paused and his secretary is scribbling on hisputer. "We will talk about the rest tomorrow. I''ll just make a draft."
"Yes, sir."
He hung up and went to the table and started drafting designs together with the n for the new security. He needed to research more. It won''t just benefit others but also him. It will be his greatest creation.
"I am doing this for you, Andromeda." He muttered and started sketching and listing up the materials he needed.
That night, he didn''t sleep, and he focused more on creating it.
***
Andromeda boiled some water and then put a pill on it to clean out the bacteria then she let it cool down for a few moments. She nced at Moira who is busy making arrows. She sighed and looked at Andel that is busy sketching whatever it is. She doesn''t have any news in the Philippines and all she received every day was beeps in Morse code. He kept sending her words of love.
At this time, it beeps again, and everyone would look at her and frown. They haven''t received anything like that from their country because they have no contact out there since they are in mission. They envy her in some way. Then after the beep, Andy would send back the message.
"Stop killing us with your PDA," Andel said loudly. Moira nodded and keep on peeling the piece of the branch so it will be sharper and perfect for her archer.
They were silent for a while and a loud bang echoes as the flocks of birds flew away. They all scuffled and hid on the bark of threes as they docked down and looked around. Moira carefully and swiftly reached her bow and arrow and she looked around ready to target someone.
They heard a sound ofughing and a cry of a boar. They immediately packed up their things and they stopped when they heard footstepsing closer. Andromeda readied her gun and then there''s another gunshot from 500 meters away.
Those hunters run in that direction after they thought that it''s something else. They picked their things and left nothing, and they run off in different directions. They run fast and they almost collide with a person wearing a ck outfit and a mask.
Andel immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it to the person. The person hands up and Andy told Andel to put down the gun.
The unknown person pulled down the mask and they sighed.
"Freya." Fin stood at ease and Freya put back her mask.
"You fired the gun just a while ago," Moira said.
"I did. If I did not, you might be all running with bruises and a few shots. There''s no hospital nearby and Fin doesn''t have enough equipment."
She started walking.
"Let''s go. There''s only one path to escape since we are already surrounded by Kusov''s army. It''s their hunting season this day."
"Then, I have to warn them." Fin muttered and he made a monkey sound. The monkey left and then they started walking to the direction that Freya is leading them.
"Are you sure that you won''t kill us?" Andel asked.
"If I would, I wouldn''te here. I would let you all die in this jungle." She muttered.
"Sorry," Andel said and then he walked fast and beside her. He pulled out something and a small pouch, he gave it to her. She took it, puzzled then looked at him. "Compensation." He winked.
She peeked on it and nodded. She put it in her pocket and then walk in silence.
"Thank you foring, Freya," Andy said.
"Yeah, not a problem." She muttered.
"So, what did you see?" Fin asked.
"I saw that vision, all of you getting cornered by Kusov''s assassin, then, I saw worst than those things." She nced at Moira.
Moira sighed and nodded.
"Yves Kusov is here, I assume." Moira thought about the hunting season that Freya is talking about. They are simply hunting food for Yves who acted like a King of the jungle.
"Yes, he''s here." She said and catch her breath. "She took all of you, then he injected you an ecstasy drug and raped you."
"That bastard!" Andel gripped his fist.
"Oh." Moira blinked and then thought about how nis would be in a rage. It will be a world war. She''s sure of that. "Tsk. Andy, I need to at least contact my lover."
"Do not contact anyone," Freya warned. "It will be in chaos. What we are going to do is to get away from them until we have a better n to sabotage their camp. Maybe, like what you did thest time." She nced at Fin.
"If we use the monkeys and animals—a lot of them might die using their guns," Fin told. "We need to do other stuff." Fin sighed. "Let''s go back to the treehouse. I got something in mind."
"Yeah, maybe we could use some of my creative works," Andel muttered.
"Do that." Freya nodded.
"Have you talked to Steven?" Andy asked after a long silence.
"Yes. He''s not going to leave the country." She assured.
"I guess you gave him your best threats. That''s good." Andy nodded.
In three hours, they reached the treehouse. They rested for a while and Fin and Moira prepared their food. Andy and Freya went to the river to take the fish trap. It didn''t take long. They gathered the healthy fishes and Freya put down the trap.
"I—I don''t know what to do with Steven." She muttered. "He''s falling hard and I can''t handle that."
Andy is very happy that she open to her about those things. It''s her fault after all. It''s her fault that Steven fell in love with her. She became their cupid just to protect Selina and Fin. But it turned out that it''s going to be a love mess between another couple.
"Well, what can I say?" Andy asked her with a little sneer.
"It''s your fault." She muttered and took two of the cage and started walking. Andy took the rest and followed her. "If you didn''t give him my information, he wouldn''t go crazy on me."
"Well, just take it." Andy smiled at her and walked backward. "He already had fallen on you. Just take it."
"I can''t take it!" She hissed, getting annoyed at Andromeda''s tease.
"Why?" She asked. "Are you afraid that you''ll hurt him?"
Freya stopped from her tracks and looked up at her. Andy takes that hint and she stopped from walking backward and sneer at Freya.
"You see, it will be easy if you just love him back or just ept his love."
"Tsk… since when did you be cupid?" Freya asked.
"Well, I don''t know." She winked and run with the cages. Freya rolled her eyes and run after her.
***
Steven nced at his phone waiting for Freya''s call. But nothing. He can''t detect her number. He can''t detect her. Is she still alive? What if she''s not safe? Damn it!
He hit his head on the wooden cab of wines and swig another bottle of wine. He sniffled like he''s crying and then he nced at Stanley who is filming him on time.
"What are you doing?" He asked and swig the bottle.
"It''s just dramatic that now you are kissing the mouth of the bottle than kissing Freya."
He red at his brother. He hugged his knees and lean his head to the wooden cab. Stanley seemed to feel his brother''s loneliness. All he can do is to tease him and join him with the drinks.
"Brother, I am sorry that you feel brokenhearted but you love her and it''s the consequence. There will be more of it. You fell in love with someone who isn''t ordinary."
"I just--I missed her."
"I know. But bare it. You fell in love with a woman like her. You need to be strong. Okay? She will be back."
"Damn it." He muttered and stared at nowhere. "Bro, I am dramatic," he muttered.
"You are not." He agreed with a nod. "Because you are totally dramatic…" He muttered so he wouldn''t hear it.
