Sweet Vengeance

Chapter 56- Saving Gabriela

* * * * *

Our plane is about to land anytime soon. I and Albreach had a quick meeting about what are going to do. There are cars who will be expecting our arrival and it will be our ride from the airport to the dock. Also, a ship will be waiting for us which we will use to go to Burceya Island. Arturo was already there with Gabriela waiting for his reinforcement to come.

I counted the armed men in the plane and it's about fifteen of them. When I noticed one of them was left alone, I strangled him and dangled him in the corner near the toilet. When I'm sure he's already unconscious, I pulled him inside the cubicle. I tied him with a rope I found earlier in the duffle bag and gagged him using his necktie.

I need a disguised and the only way to do that is be one of them. I removed his black suit and wore it. I also removed his gun and put it inside my suit.

When I'm certain that there's no one outside, I went out while fixing the creases on my suit. I went back to the cabin where will I meet Albreach.

"Any updates?" I asked him while he's busy scrolling on his mobile phone.

He looked up at me, "You clean up good," he said in approval.

"We will land in 5 minutes," he added.

"Good. Let's get ready then," I replied.

We plan that we will let the rest of the men go first and we will ride on the car which Albreach hired and we will follow them to the docks. Then, we will enter the ship where Gabriela is and rescue her. It sounds pretty simple but I know now it will not be easy because Arturo's men will be guarding Gabriela.

We let the men go down first and when it's already quiet, we took it as a sign that they were all gone. We rushed to the car where Albreach said and went inside and saw an old man about sixty years old in the driver seat. He smiled at me and Albreach while we make ourselves comfortable at the backseats. I don't fully trust Albreach, more else strangers that I don't know. However, I don't have any choice even I'm not certain for the sake of Gabriela.

"Ready Sir?" he asked the both of us.

"Yeah, no need to ask. Go, now," Albreache said irritatedly and hushed the old man.

He turns on the engine and unexpectedly he is a good and fast driver for his age. We are now approaching the other car and the driver make a signal to convey we are one of them.

The ride was rather smooth and there are no signs of enemies knowing about us. It's like the silence before the storm. Every minute that pass I'm getting nearer to Gabriela. The anticipation is killing me, making me excited and at the same time nervous. I can't wait to see my little tiger. I know she is waiting for me and she will do everything to survive. She is tough and stubborn when it comes to her goal. I smiled unknowingly while thinking about her. Wait for me Gabriela, we will take down Arturo together.

Without noticing, the car suddenly stops and it's the sign that we are already at our destination. Not too far, I can see a large ship. Albreach doesn't have any problem in entering it, however, in my case, I'm sure that they will notice that I am not one of them if I don't act accordingly. I must go inside secretly and cautiously.

The men from other cars were beginning to go to the ship. I prepared my gun and put a silencer on it. I surveyed the place and formulate a plan in my head. Two men are guarding the entrance.

We let all of them go inside first until the two guards are only left. Albreach ready himself and when he noticed that the last of the men already go inside, he hurried out and walked calmly to the guards. On the other hand, I grabbed my gun and breath in slowly as I come outside.

Albreach was talking to the guards and in a split second, he managed to twist the other man hands while I run and shoot the other man who is about to shoot him. He fell over the dock and Albreach smacked the gun on the head of our other enemy which left him unconscious. We rushed inside as the ship began to operate.

"Try to stay in the shadow Fitzgerald. I will find Arturo. You may need this," Albreach said seriously as he gave me the duffle bag.

"I know what to do Albreach. Contact me if you see Gabriela. Stay alive," I answered.

I and Albreach parted our ways. I ran to the left side, keeping myself unseen. The ship is quite large which is an advantage for me. It's like a cargo ship and I wonder why Arturo needs a ship like this just to go to an island. I reckon that they need to retrieve something huge and important.

I spotted another guard who was roaming around. I must look for the entrance of the ship and find out where Gabriela is. I assessed my surroundings and at the edge, I saw the wheelhouse and on each side, there was a stair. I need to go there and find out where the entrance is.

I can take down the guard right away but the problem is more men are coming and one of them saw me. I loaded my gun and get ready myself. Come to me and you will see death.
