"How about this?" Raine bluntly offered with an evil smirk. "I will let you take the girl if you take me with you as well."
"Boss?!" everyone from the other line burst. They knew their Boss was crazy, but her madness seemed to have no limits!
Raine knew that she was taking a significant risk in this bargain, but she wanted to trust her intuition about him. His voice was very different from Tyrone’s. However, they already lived with all sorts of high-level technologies around them that was more than capable of faking his voice. All she needed to do was remove that mask on his face.
"Tick tock tick tock... The clock is ticking, darling. Should I just go ahead and shoot this poor little girl in here?" Raine dared. "The police are coming, and I’m pretty sure that all of my men have already sealed this area shut. So I suppose escaping will be difficult for you?"
She wanted to know if he would let the little girl die or not.
"You won’t kill her and I know that for sure," the lollipop boy said. Raine couldn’t see the smile on his face because of his mask, but she could read his next move by staring intensely into his eyes. "You can take care of her for now. I’m sure you will keep her safe..."
"Shit! Block the glass wall on the east!" Raine exclaimed as she witnessed him break the glass wall in one swift motion and jump out of it.
Raine was about to follow him, but the little girl kept on desperately struggling over in the corner.
"Sedate her, now!" Raine shouted to Lyne, who was now behind her. Since she always brought a gun that could kill with her, she couldn’t aim past the little girl.
Lyne quickly grabbed the tranquilizer gun on her back and aimed at the little girl. However,it was hard to get a more precise shot with how fast the little girl moved. She was moving like a wolf already.
"Give me that!" Raine commanded and grabbed the tranquilizer gun from Lyne.
"Make sure that lollipop boy doesn’t escape or I will kill you all!" Raine grunted on another line as she aimed the tranquilizer gun at the little girl. With one clear shot, she fired. Within the span of a single second, the little girl passed out.
"Take her into my safe house first. Make sure she doesn’t escape," Raine instructed before immediately jumping off the broken glass wall to where the lollipop boy fled.
"He was at the west side of the forest fighting our men while running from them," Mia informed Raine as she saw what was happening on the screen using the camera worn by the others. "He’s good. Five of our men are already down, Boss."
"I’m coming, so make sure he’s still there," Raine barked as she ran in the direction Mia was pointing. "At least stall him if you can’t catch him!"
She was panting hard when she finally reached the location. The lollipop boy was having a man-to-man fight with Dylan. She shook her head as she saw her men all lying face-down on the ground. He had only knocked them out, but he did not kill any of her men.
’How considerate,’ she mused with a twitch of her lips as she watched Dylan getting beaten up before getting knocked out in one solid blow.
Raine quickly moved and approached the lollipop boy. She attacked him with a swift flying kick, but he was quick enough to dodge it. She then moved her fist to strike below his chin. The blow almost hit him, but he was able to grab her hand with his strong arms.
Raine winked at him before kneeing him on his stomach. Seeing an advantage, she pushed him, pinning him down on the ground by sitting on his torso.
"What’s with the mask, huh?" Raine said, a beautiful smile on her face as she leaned closer, ready to remove the black mask from his face. "Let me see how handsome you’ve grown after all those years."
The lollipop boy quickly moved and wrestled her till they rolled to where their positions had changed. He was now on top of him.
"Ah, I see... You like being on top," Raine jested.
"Boss?!" Lyne, Mia, and Levi burst from another line since Raine was still connected and they could hear everything she was saying.
"I’m almost there with more back-up," Levi added, cursing silently under his breath.
"Take your time," Raine answered, not bothering with the man on top of her. "I’m enjoying my position here."
She wrestled him back until they again changed positions wherein she was on top.
"I prefer to be on top too, you know," she burst with her mischievous and devilish grin.
She heard him curse and she chuckled as she tried to get a hold of his mask. He was tough as he fought her hard. What amused Raine, however, was how he was making defensive moves and not making any advances to hit or injure her.
She was almost there. Her hand was almost on his black mask when she suddenly felt a sting on her hips. She turned around and saw a tranquilizer dart on her hips.
"Sh*t!" Raine hissed.
Too focussed on removing his mask, she failed to notice how the lollipop boy got lucky and saw a tranquilizer dart from all the missed shots from her men. He had grabbed it while pretending to be struggling from her.
Raine passed out on top of him. The man gently moved her away from on top of him. He stared at her for a moment and whispered, "it’s not time for you to see my face just yet."
