The Baby Contract – Episode 23

Going to the border wasn’t a bit of a problem for them,Archie had everything under his wrap,he got his men clearing path for them.Tim’s find on Fred’s family made everything clearer, putting two and two together,it gave them a clue that Fred’s family’s kidnap was linked to Anne’s in some ways that are yet to be discovered,

“But if Fred is the one sending those clue,why not do it openly?” Deville asked,

“Because they might be blackmailing him,so he wouldn’t want to mess up.” Jake answered from the front seat.They got to the border with the aid of a tracker,

“Tijuana Airport?” William asked,Jake nodded,

“The tracker settles here.” Jake said,Archie’s men got down from their van and walked to the car where Archie and his friends drove in,

“Get yourselves spread out and check out the whole place for anything you think isn’t in its bleeding place.” Archie ordered them and they left scattering all over the place.Later,some of them men came back,

“Sir there’s nothing unusual going on in there.” One of them said,Archie turned to Jake,

“Aren’t you getting anything?” Jake shook his head disappointedly,

“Call Marcelo, tell him to give us a close range location from the kidnapper’s zone.” Renato said,Archie brought out his phone and called Marcelo,

“Dude,send us something closer to the cunt’s location, my blokes have problem locating him.”

“Okay.” Marcelo said and he hung up,Just then Jake’s laptop beeped,

“He sent us something.” Everyone in the car turned to him,

“He sent us a near location, said there’s not enough data to go round,so he’s using available ones.” He said,

“Can’t we hack unto his mobile phone?” Deville asked,

“Yes we can but it will take extra time and that’s if he’s with his phone.” Jake said,

“Then do it.” Deville said,

“It’s illegal.” William warned and Tim nodded,Jakes glare wasn’t the answer needed,

“Who cares about legalities and illegalities when your fiancée who you’re to get married to in few weeks get kidnapped by a bloody asshole.” Deville said angrily, everyone kept quiet,

“Okay,I’ll do it.” Jake said,Deville anger had rising,he controlled it cause he wasn’t with the asshole that holding Anne,he’s with his friend,so he had to keep his cool.It was exactly fourth five minutes later when Jake finished,he looked up from his laptop,

“They’re at the warehouse at the end of the runaway.” He informed them,everyone was quite happy but didn’t show it,

“Okay,how do we get there with outing those alien stopping us?” Tim asked and William nodded in support of his question,

“That’s not gonna be a problem,we can go in guise of being staffs or aeronautical engineers.” Archie said,he called his men and told them of the plan.

Getting to the runaway wasn’t a bit of a problem for them but the main problem started when they lost signal and was met with an empty warehouse

“There’s no one except all this,” he pointed to the aeroplane parts and greased machineries,

“Guys wait.” Tim called the attention of the other when he saw something unusual in the place,it was like a coverage to something on the floor,he pushed the cover and saw a stairs leading down the warehouse,

“Its like an underground basement.” William said,they were all in awe,

“Let’s see what’s inside.” Tim got inside first while the rest followed and they all came down to a vast room with carton boxes stark in almost everywhere,every corner of the the room,there’s a door separating it from the other rooms.

“Bring it down.” Archie told Renato and the man did as he was told,he brought down one box and inspect what was inside it,

“Sir,its coke.” Archie rushed to the box,brought out one of the carefully sealed white substance and inhaled it,

“This is good for business,pure charlie.” He threw the sealed substance back into the box.

“This is where they ship out illegal stuffs from the country.” Archie said turning to his friends,they didn’t say anything to him.

“Renato,find a way and get the others,let them help you send some of these charlie to the van,its good for business.” Archie said,Deville frowned,

This is theft,how can he be taking someone else’s coke.Renato nodded and left the way they came to get the rest while Archie and the rest went farther into the room.

There were almost at the exit of the room,when they heard some whispering voices ahead of them,Archie motioned to the rest and they hurried forward to where the voices are coming from,

“Someone’s there.” William pointed as they tiptoed when they got closer,

“Shhhhh.” Archie said and they moved on.When they got to the origin of the sound,they met two thugs there,Archie and the guys were still hiding by the door when someone pushed them inside,

“Who are you and what are you all doing here?” The hefty man who pushed them asked angrily,

“We’re here to get our package.” Archie said boldly, reviving from the shock they all suffered now,

“Search them!” The thug who pushed them ordered his boys and they walked toward the five friends,Jake kicked the guns from ones hand and the other short at him,the bullet hit his left arm,then a fight ensued between the two groups.Not long enough,other thugs came running toward them,

“Gosh,I never knew they were this much.” William cried as he saw the thugs running toward them,Jake picked a gun and shot back at them killing two while Deville,Archie,Tim and William killed some then beat the rest to pulps.

At the end of the fight,Deville was seriously injured in his leg,Jake left arm was bleeding badly while William tied it with a piece he ripped from the thugs cloth,the rest weren’t badly injured but they got their share of exhaustion and bruises too.

“Be careful,that really hurts.” Jake said when William was tying up the wound to stop the bleeding,

“Okay,okay.” William said impatiently,

“Guys,one of this blockhead must be that Dimitri guy.” Deville said,he stood up and checked the thugs faces,he was checking randomly,

“If that Dimitri bloke is a redhead,he ought not to be here.” Archie said and Tim nodded,

“Archie’s right.” William added,Deville was still busy checking the bodies of the men on the floor,

“Looking for me?” A manly voice said from the exit door,they all in surprise and saw the person they came looking for,he was holding a .45 colt in one hand and a .35 magnum in the other,each pointing to Deville and his friends.

“Where’s Anne?” Deville asked,charging toward the man not minding his injured leg,Dimitri pointed the gun at Deville’s forehead,while the rest stood up and walked to him,

“You really want your mistress back uh?” He asked with an evil grin,

“Follow me and do that without pulling a stunt.” He ordered and turned to leave,Archie pulled him back and he shot the wall close to Archie,

“I won’t miss my target the next time.” He said,Deville swallowed and they all followed him.
