*This is totally not what y'all would have in mind as a plan to rescue but this book will be full of fun surprises. 🤣😂 get used to it.*

it took my mind a second until it processed the scream. Joab jumped and started looking around for the source.

"THERE!" Joab yelled and pointed over to a pair of black sports cars. I watched two men shove two figures in the car.

We run towards the cars in hopes of helping the poor victims. Seconds before I reach the car it speeds away. I pull out my gun and aim at the car out of our anger.

"no! Not here. Let's get in your car and follow!"  joab yells and I simply nod. Seconds later, we were speeding onto the roads attempting to catch up.

The only thought running through my head was the one thing that made my blood boil. The one thing that I can't believe I missed.

The person that they shoved in the car was wearing a red pencil skirt.

...........................

I slam the door and stomp in the zoo apartments. We hadn't been able to catch the car. Anger raged inside me. My eyes almost couldn't concentrate. My hands shook as I typed on my computer,

"What are you doing?!" Joab groaned slumping against the door frame.

"It was one person. All we saw was two people shoved into a van. They might not have been important." Joab continued to reason.

I ignore him as I keep typing. My eyes raking over the screen.

"There is no way you can find them." Joab waved his hands in the air. "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?! you are acting like you know-"

"Wait. You know who they are don't you?" Joab stood straight with a sleek smile spreading over his face.

"Yes, I know one of them as for the other I have no idea. She was my doctor, During the crash, she helped. Simple as that."

"We're are getting to the whole 'she was my doctor' thing later. For now, how do you expect to find her?" Joab walked closer and looked over my shoulder.

"she was being bullied. One day I heard a rumor that they had broken a pair of headphones. So I gave her a pair, little does she know that I put a tracker inside of it."

"Wait so you have a girl a set of headphones and then tracked her." Joab partially laughed.

"No, I hadn't activated the tracker yet." I rolled my eyes. "Until now."

I glanced at the screen of my computer.

"She is 45 minutes on the other side of town," I smirked and then walked over to my bed. Reaching under the bed I grabbed a big wooden box and slipped it from under the sheets.

"and what now? You don't expect us to walk in and say 'please' and then they hand her over?" joab continues to swing his arms around in protest.

"Actually I am planning on doing exactly that. Except for one thing. I am not going to say please and They are going to pay me to take her." I say while I open the giant wooden box. Guns of every size lay inside. A collection of knives and boxes of ammo littered throughout the wooden box.

"oh they are going to pay you and give her back....totally makes sense." joab pinched the bridge of his nose and laid his head on the door frame. "you've lost it...you've finally lost it."

"actually my plan involves you losing it." I continue my smirk but this time send it in his direction.

"that's it. The wreck messed up something up top. Your nuts." joab groaned.

"on the contrary, I still have it." I knocked on the top of my head and joab just stared in amazement.

"well if you've still got it then why not tell me what the plan is." joab slumped next to on the bed.

"here's how we are going to do it-"
...................................................

I sat outside the dank building joab pulls up on his bike just a few feet away. Sticking to the plan I don't acknowledge him and continue on into the dark streets. I walk up to the door and raise my hand to knock.

"Are you here about the new recruit?" a man asks as the door swings open. He was at least 6 inches over my 6'3 frame. I didn't let it faze me as I looked him in the eye.

"I am," I state. Joab walks up behind me. Like we had planned I send him a glare.

"Are you here for the job too?" the big man enquired. Joab gave a simple nod. Within seconds we were escorted into the building. The man shoved us through a few doors until we stood in a large hallway. Six old creaky wooden chairs lined the sides if the hallway.

I turned around and bumped into the tall guy. With a simple 'oops' I backed away. Little did the guy know that I took his pistol. I hide the gun away under my leather vest.

Joab took the seat closest to the door while I took the seat a few chairs down on the other side of the room. 3 other guys sat in the chairs. One next to joab, and one on each side of me.

The big guy told us to stay still and not to disturb anyone until the boss told us to go to the office. He turned to a guy at the end of the hall, giving the guy strict orders to keep an eye on us. The big guy shot one more glare at all of us before exiting the hallway. I was getting comfortable when joab started setting the plan in action.

"did you guys hear what happened to the last guy?" joab leaned back in his chair crossing one ankle over his knee.

Two guys weren't buying Joab's story but the one on my right leaned closer to joab.

"What happened to him?" the guy whispered.

"Which one? The one who he dismembered because he looked at him at the wrong time or the one who he threw out of his private plane without a parachute?" I added nonchalantly. Leaning farther back I clasp my hands behind my head.

Now all three of the guys were listening, their eyes wide.

"I heard that this isn't even the first job opening he has had, the last interview went downhill. he didn't like the guys who showed up so he killed them all on the spot." joab shrugged laying his hands in his lap.

"He really did that?" the brunette next to joab asks. Joab turned slowly and looked the guy in the eye before giving him a slow nod. I almost laugh at Joab's action but for the sake of the lie I held it in.

"I heard that he-" joab started but the door swung open and out stepped a man who was probably 40.

"you." he pointed to joab with a stern finger. the other three men jumped at the man's presence.

"welp." joab jumped up to his feet. "wish me luck." he winked.

joab slammed the door on purpose just to make the guys jump.

......3rd person view...... (I am sorry but I need to switch the perspective. Even though I hate writing 3rd person.)

Joab entered the room with the intimidating man. Slamming the door just to add a little fear at the moment. 2 days ago they watched two people get shoved in a van. Zane had discussed the plan with joab but joab still thought Zane was going crazy. Nevertheless, Zane was still his boss and joab had to follow orders.

"I run this place. My name is Vincent blight." the man said making his way to the desk in the middle of the room. " what makes you think you are qualified to be a personal guard for my son?"

"well Mr. Blight I can do this." before Vincent blight could turn to look at joab, joab jumped on his back. Joab grabbed the handkerchief from his pocket and shoved it in Vincent flights face. Due to the handkerchief dipped in knock-out gas, Vincent blight fell to the ground unconscious.

"now I get to work." joab chuckled under his breath. Lucky for joab the room was void if any guards so joab could work freely. Pulling multiple firecrackers from his pocket, he grabbed his lighter.

"NO DONT! Help! Please no! I didn't mean it!" joab started screaming. "dont kill me! please! dont hurt me!"

"HEY! I NEEDED THAT FINGER!"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"HELP!"

The screams could be heard in the hallway. Zane and the three others sat quietly listening to joabs yelling.

"It looks like he wasn't lucky." Zane laughed. All of a sudden the guy on Zanes left jumped up and took off running down the hallway.

"Hey get back here!" the guard yelled chasing the man until they were both out of sight.

Back inside the office joab had started wrecking everything in sight making crashes echo through the hallway. Joab tossed a vase through the window sending glass shards everywhere. Zane and the last two guys stare at the door with fear in their eyes.

"do you think that will happen to us?" the guy across the hall asked. Zane hid his smile with a shrug.

It was then that joab started screaming again. "NO NOT THAT! PLEASE NOT THAT!" he yelled then lit the firecrackers making loud popping sounds like a gun.

That was all it took before the two other guys outside the door to jump from their seats in horror. Zane jumped up with them as they started running.

"no! wait don't leave me!" zane grabbed one guy's arm and pulled him back.

"I'm out of here!" the guy yelled. Unknowing to the guy, Zane slipped the stolen pistol into his pocket.

As the two guys ran out of sight the tall man from before came back into the hallway. "my gun! who took my gun?!" he yelled

"I saw him take it!" Zane pointed down the hallway at the two guys. In anger, the tall man chased after the guys until no-one else was around except for zane, the still screaming joab, and the still unconscious Vincent Blight.

"ahh help!" joab swung the door open then dramatically acted as if he was drug back inside. Zane stood in the hallway with his arms crossed waiting for joab the calm down. Joab grabbed the door frame and dramatically stuck his head out to make sure it was clear.

The fireworks had stopped popping. Joab had stopped screaming, And Vincent blight was asleep on his office floor. Joab's fake fear had been replaced with a slick smile.

........ZANE........

"I think he liked me." Joab winked making me let out a short laugh.

"I didn't think that it would work." Joab continued.

"What did I tell you." I shrug. "I wasn't going crazy. Now hurry up and get out of here before someone wakes up and wants to kill you."

"Good luck," Joab said with a pat in the back.

I straightened my leather vest then make my way into the office. Bending down by the sleeping Vincent I grabbed his shoulders. With a few shakes and one or two smacks upside the head, he woke up.

"Wh-What happened?" Vincent stuttered.

"There was a guy. He jumped you. When you were taking so long I came in to find him wrecking the room. He broke the window and escaped." I say while helping Vincent Blight to his chair.

"You have proved great strength today. You came into here and quite possibly saved my life. And for that I owe you. You have got the job."

"I am honored sir," I say and bow my head.

"But you have something to do before I turn you over to my son. I have two prisoners that we recently....came into possession of. They are being sent to my sons to be further dealt with. I need you to assist some of my best men in moving the two prisoners. Once you get to my sons you will work for him and do whatever he wants you to want to do." Vincent continues.

Before I could answer the tall guy who escorted us into the building burst in the room. "Sir..." he started but was panting hard enough it was hard to speak.

"Is there anyone still outside?" Vincent Blight asked but didn't give time for the tall guy to answer. "Send them away. I have found the perfect boy for the job."

"Sir-they already-" the tall guy stutters still out of breath.

"Go on, Humphery!" Vincent barks and the tall guy or I guess Humphrey slumps out of the room.

"You move the prisoners tomorrow at 6 am on the dot." Vincent turns back to me with a grin. "By the way what's your name boy."

"Jack." I lie. "My name is Jack."

"Ok, jack. I will see you tomorrow." Vincent nodded. Taking that as my exit I left the room a smile on my face knowing that my plan worked.

I knew that he would be so shaken up he couldn't think straight. He didn't ask any questions. If he had, I don't know what would have happened. Things definitely could have gone worse during this interview...
