The Last Embrace Chapter 146
Advertisement
Jessy went to her room and lie down in the bed. She felt relieved that she and the Queen were now thinking on the same page especially when it comes to not giving Zain a chance of obtaining any power again. Zain is a train wreck that can go full speed anytime if given the chance. In the worst-case scenario, she will try to keep an open mind regarding Zain's worsening condition, although he was full of negativity he was just driven by unforeseen circumstances and powerless to control his emotion and destiny.
She feels better now that she found an ally with the Queen. Even though she knows that deep inside the queen was feeling miserable due to the pathetic condition her eldest son was going through, it's difficult for the queen to choose whose side she will favor, it's Adam or Zain? In the end, the Queen chose the side where the prophecy was pointing... towards Adam and her...to the point of forsaking her firstborn, the Queen gives her all.
A few minutes later, there she goes restless again, why is that?
Aha! It has to do with that brown envelope that Colonel Brown has given to Captain Mercado. She has this burning desire to see what's inside the envelope. And to see the contents of that envelope is the only way she can rest her worries away.
She gets up from the bed, she went to her closets and picked up the black leather jacket, black pants, and black blouse and donned them on her body, she put the necklace Adam gives her around her neck and tied her hair in a ponytail.
After finished dressing, she wastes no time and teleported herself into Captain Mercado's house, her only purpose for tonight is to get the envelop and investigate what's the confidential mission is all about then return to the facility and sleep.

She landed in the living room of the captain's house. No one is in the living room.
The house was quiet, everyone was already sleeping. She will check the three bedrooms and see if the family members were still awake or sleeping.
Jessy passed through the wall of the first bedroom nearest to her, it was situated near the kitchen, it housed the teenage boy, he was sleeping soundly in his bed.
She passed through the wall of the next bedroom, it got one queen size bed and a single bed, on the queen size bed lies the two children and the teenage girl was sleeping on the single bed.
Then next she passed through the wall of the master's bedroom.
Jessy's was frowning because the only person she saw sleeping inside the room was no other than the captain's wife and she was currently snoring lightly.
Where is the captain?
Maybe he was already on his way to the mission.
She went closer to the bed and peered at the sleeping woman's eyes, the captain's wife was completely asleep.
Jessy sauntered towards the table on the left side, she saw some files and folders above the table, she tiptoed and headed towards it. She saw the outline of three brown envelopes, eager to know the contents of the envelope she scooped all of them and teleported back into her room in the Facility.
She went to her bed and began checking the contents of the envelopes one by one.
The first two envelops were empty, odd.
The third envelope contents some report papers and a colored photo of two beautiful teenagers whose ages range from 16 to 18 smiling into the camera. They have similar striking features, probably they were blood-related or sisters.
She began reading the files.
The first page contains a header that says...'Mission XXX'

Then the next paper contains the details of the mission.
She began reading the report silently.
Mission XXX.
The two girls in the photo are teenage daughters of the prominent businessman, they were kidnaped four days ago by unidentified armed men while the teenagers were on their way to a party. The abandoned car that was driven by the teenagers was found a thousand kilometers away from the street leading to the venue of the party. The kidnappers contacted the businessman demanding a ransom for his two children that will be given into two installments basis, a total of 20 million dollars, 10 million dollars for each girl. The kidnappers demanded that they will kill the girls immediately if the said kidnapping incident will leak to the media and if he will involve the police authorities.
The first installment of the ransom will be given tonight in a secret location and one of the girls will be released as well, the secret location will be known two hours before the meeting between the kidnappers and the ransom bearer. The kidnappers said that as long the ransom money is given the girls will be freed accordingly.
Jessy began digesting the report. So, the mission is all about solving a kidnap and ransom incident and rescuing the victims.
The reason why Captain Mercado was not in his house today was that he was probably going into that secret location to rescue the girls and bring the ransom money to the kidnappers.
She stared at the girls' happy faces in the photo, they looked so pretty and innocent, their eyes full of life. It must be very hard and complete torture for the parents of the girls. Incidents like this are every parents' worst nightmare, having your child kidnapped by strangers with no exact guarantee if you can see your children alive ever again.
Then she remembered her kidnapping before, that was traumatic! She can't imagine how the girls were faring in the same horrific situation that they are undergoing right now. Her heart goes out to the girls, it will be hard to go back to the normalcy of things after the kidnapping.
If Adam did not save her right on time during her captivity in the hands of those maniacs, she might already be dead right now. She hopes the girls will be rescued safely and will be reunited with their parents and loved ones, soon!
