Chapter 464 YOU CAN TAKE ME
"Apple… Apple?" Jayden called into his communication device when he couldn't catch what Apple was saying.
"What is it?" Misha asked, and then shot a man who was within shooting range with great precision, then turned his attention to Jayden.
"My communication with Apple was cut off," Jayden replied in a low voice. He no longer looked easy going when he realized this. "Looks like she has gone too far."
One needed a special and strong signal to communicate when he was in the middle of the ocean and Apple seemed to be too far away for this signal to reach.
Misha, who heard that, turned his attention toward the harbor. "Looks like we have to catch up with her before we really lose her."
And before Misha could finish speaking, Jayden had moved forward and fired his gun blindly at their enemies.
Gone was the childish and witty demeanor that he had emitted when he was talking to Apple, because now what he saw was how he executed his enemies so smoothly without even showing any facial expressions, as if this was no big deal to him.
Indeed, one could say that this was not foreign to Jayden's life as he was much more accustomed to his dark organization than being a businessman from the Tordoff family.
Misha followed behind Jayden because his cousin could be reckless and put himself in danger.
However, there was something that bothered Misha.
"Don't you think that our mission this time is well planned? Then how did they know we were here?" Misha asked Jayden.
Jayden must have realized that in the first second they were ambushed. "We will find out about that later."
After that they moved further and found the body of a man who was covered in blood. However, the man did not die from the bullets they fired, but someone had stabbed him with a knife and slashed his neck.
Misha frowned when he saw how death had taken the man. "I think I have got the answer."
"Yeah," Jayden responded. "Apple is a little sloppy in her job…"
It seemed that these people had found the man's body beforehand, so they realized that someone was checking the place, which made them wary and cautious.
This dead body alarmed them.
"I think she was in a hurry to get rid of this man."
"Or she is in tight schedule to get rid of this big guy properly," Jayden added.
And whatever it was, they needed to deal with this situation ASAP before they actually lost Apple.
===================
After asking a few questions, Apple then mingled with the other captives. She also took off her jacket which was too flashy. Those men would immediately realize that she was not part of the captives they had captured when they saw the jacket.
Now, Apple was only wearing a shabby gray t-shirt and jeans of the same color. She purposely ruffled her hair to make her look like the kids around her, all the while trying to get in contact with Jayden again, but her efforts were in vain. She lost him.
"What is it?" the girl next to Apple, who looked like she had just turned ten, asked her. "Is help coming?"
"Yes, of course," Apple replied with certainty. "They will come to our aid." Jayden couldn't possibly have left her here. Well, unless he got shot in the situation he was in, then Apple would panic.
They all then fell silent again, only the sound of the waves crashing outside could be heard, rocking the ship.
Perhaps this was how Jayden felt when he was captured twelve years ago. It seemed this was the origin of the trauma he suffered.
Feeling trapped and helpless, and adrift in the middle of the high seas that made him very frustrated.
But, it seemed like it would take more than a situation like this to bring a stubborn man like Jayden to his knees and suffer deep wounds.
However, Jayden still seemed reluctant to open up about it.
When they all fell silent, that was when they could hear footsteps in the corridor. Apparently, one of the guards decided to go down and inspect the captives.
Well, it could be a disaster, if they realized Apple was there and she wasn't a part of them.
Quickly, Apple moved behind the children and teens, covering herself, as the door to this room opened after a few lock sounds echoed in the room.
And when the door opened, they could see a man who was about thirty years old walked in and started blabbering something in his half-drunk state.
He walked over with eyes that stared unfocused at the captives there and smiled, grinning horribly at them, making them all shrivel up in fear, but that didn't seem to matter to the man as he seemed to be enjoying their fright.
"Come here, I am not here to hurt you," the man said. He then walked up to a teenage girl of about sixteen and grabbed her wrist very quickly, making her stand up and so he could see her face more clearly.
The young girl struggled to free herself, but the man was too strong for her, while the other girls pulled away, averting their gazes, not wanting to attract the drunken man's attention.
"Wow, it is a shame they have to cut your body to get your organs..." he mumbled, but his words certainly sounded very clear to Apple.
They weren't trading these children, but their organs?
Did Jayden know this? Had their assumptions been wrong? Apparently, this organization was much darker than Apple could have imagined.
She couldn't think of what would have happened to these kids had Jayden not decided to be so ambitious about bringing down this organization.
"Just take me," Apple said when the man was about to drag the girl out of the room to do what he liked. "Just take me and let her go," Apple reiterated her words.
