Lara's Revenge

Chapter 5: The target



Lightouts hotel& Suite

Lodge 12

Miami Florida

The weather looked a little bit gloomy and dull as if the heavens perceives the death of an unfortunate person. The hotel is completely silent as a graveyard,dry leaves rustling on the ground.

Lara and her girls has earlier booked the whole building for their use..the entire lodge 12 to themselves mainly because the Lodge offers an advantage of monitoring the City cathedral from all angles without suspicion

Sandy stood by the window with an electronic binoculars attached to a drone observing the cathedral in the opposite direction

"Seen anything yet?" Eve asked,dropping the butt of her cigarette in the ashtray

"Not yet.. they seems to be hidden away from sight" Sandy replied, turning the binoculars to the Eastern part of the cathedral

" I've gotten something, Boss" She stated after a while, walking away from the window, popping the bubble gum in her mouth

" Set the drones" Lara ordered

Sandy opened up a box, bringing out a set of high tech drones, scrolling through her tabs activating the control she let the bird like drone through the window remotely to the Eastern part of the cathedral

Soon enough the tab started chiming blinking red

"Eyes on the target, boss" Sandy said, magnifying the screen so the red dot blinked more brighter than before

"Good,scan the cathedral for anything we need to know about, we are moving in tonight" Lara replied, entering her room

The City Cathedral,

Miami Florida

The cathedral was deserted due to some occurrence of natural disasters that happened some years back,since then it has not been rebuilt thus; making it the perfect hiding place

Diego Marshalls was led into the innermost Chambers which once belong to the priest by his bodyguards armed to the teeth

The lock was broken and was a bit Rusty, Diego eyes scanned the chamber in utter disgust

"Are you sure..they won't be able to find us here?" He questioned with raised brows, clearly not impressed by this hideout

The chamber was heavily clothed with cobwebs and dusty furnitures with some windows glasses broken due to the disaster

"The place is secure,for a fact that it has been abandon for years nobody will think about this place, it's insignificant" Leo explained calmly,he is Diego right hand man

Little did they know Lara is the only one who feels insignificant things could be significant , always looking at where they least expect

"Tsk..She isn't just anybody we are taking about here, She is a bloody freaking assassin" Diego replied in exasperation, throwing his hands in the air

"They won't be able to find us, I'm sure of it boss" Leo assured him, signaling the guards to clean up the chamber

"You better be.." Diego replied warily,his guys screaming at him that he's gonna die

"Please sit" Leo said,extending his hand to a nearby cushion

The chamber was quickly cleaned up by the numerous guards within the blink of an eye and Diego could finally have somewhere to seat down

"Boss,we have a contact" A guard reported, from the window side

Leo quickly walked over to take a look, signaling two guards to go down to bring the contact

While Diego stood up in agitation, sweating profusely "Is she the one?

"No boss, it's our spy from Italy.. seems like something happened" Leo pacify him and Diego breath out in relief

"Then bring him in quick";He added, sitting back down and Leo bowed in response then he turned to the guards behind him, immediately grouping them in ten

"The East wing is the most hidden part of the cathedral but that doesn't mean you should neglect your duties.." pausing for a brief moment to scan their faces before continuing with his speech

"Team alpha and beta., station your men at the back and front of the east wing,Team c dispatch to all sides of the west wing. Team d, south side and E will stay with me. Remember we have only one duty which is...."

"To protect the boss with our lives" They chorus affirmatively

Nodding his head in satisfaction"Disperse"

The guards headed by each team leader left while the other two drag a disheveled and tattered skinny man that looks so unfit to be a spy

Leo signaled them to bring him closer which they did

"What happened?" Diego demanded, leaning closer to the man on the floor before him, puffing out smoke over his face from his pipe.,the man coughed loudly

"I'm..m.. sorry, I tried to stop her but sh..sh..she was too fast" he stuttered in fear

"What?! " Diego stood up angrily

"Amelia escape and I'm just getting to know now" he questioned angrily, throwing his pipe at the spy

"I'm sorry.. please spare my life" The spy pleaded but Diego only glare at him if eyes could kill,the spy would probably be dead a thousand times by the intensity of Diego's glare

"Clean off this mess and get me information on Amelia" Diego told Leo walking towards the broken window

"Boss, that's not possible we are in hiding and can't afford to be caught" Leo said trying to make Diego see reasons but unfortunately his dumb boss keeps getting angrier

"I am your boss and you will obey me, get the information now" Diego gritted each words out with severe authority, his heart pounding fiercely against his ribcage. He can't let Amelia go, not with everything she knows. The information that girls knows is enough to destroy the organization,he can't let her go

"Forgive me boss" Leo apologized with his head slightly bowed

"Better,do it now" Diego yelled, turning his back on them

Leo told the guards to move the spy out of the room and finish him off..He walked out to the garden in the Eastern part to make a call

Just a little distance from where he stood a drone made a snap sound in the air oblivious to him.

Meanwhile**

In the hotel suite,the girls were sprawl ovwe the floor.. each lost in their own world except for Eve who was loading her shotgun and rifles preparing herself for tonight's operation.

Sandy's tab beeped loudly disrupting the gloomy silence, Sandy literally flew from the floor to the bed where the tab layed. On seeing the green dot releasing frequencies,she smiled

"Boss, I've gotten a target"

"View?"

Sandy clicked on a spot and Leo's bio data appeared

"Leonard Banks

Ages 30

Diego's second in command" Sandy read out

"Why was he out alone?" Came Eve's voice, dropping the bullets on the table

Sandy glanced at her, indeed it was somehow that Diego's second in command was out alone which was not supposed to be so, unless there's something missing

Sandy turning the tab upside down working fastly on it.. collecting necessary details from the drone that sent the signal and she found it

"Boss, you need to see this"Sandy called out while Eve moved closer to her likewise the other girls

Lara moved from the bancoly to the suite palour and Sandy handed the tab to her

"Find Amelia Smith, interesting" Lara said,her face harden

"Seems like the girl is important to them to make them reveal their location by making a call" Belle chirped in, arms akimbo

"Find the girl Sandy, before they do"Lara said giving the tab back to her,the name echoing in her mind

She knew who the was but she needs Sandy to confirm, for the first time in years she felt her frozen heart made a thump

If this girl has been with Diego,then she has gone through hell and back

Meanwhile**

Cathedral

Leo finished making the call and stuffed the phone in his pocket. He took a glance at his surroundings for anything suspicious on finding none he walked back to the cathedral

"Boss, I've informed our trusted informat in Italy.. Amelia will soon be found" He told Diego whose back was still turned to him

"Any sighting of the girls?" Diego asked

"No Boss,I doubt they are in Florida" Leo mumbled, pouring a glass of whiskey for himself

"They're better not here" Diego muttered under his breath

Leo stared at his back,"Boss, what's it that Amelia's father did to you that you can't let the girl go?" He finally asked the question that has been bothering him,as he silently hopes Diego will give him an answer

Diego turned around and walked to the cushion and Leo quickly handed his another glass of whiskey which Diego drank all at once and exhale before answering

"Her father was part of the organization but he took something that I needed the most..my beloved and I was devastated" He paused and rubbed his face, Leo was stunned this will be the first time he had seen his boss so flustered

"Amelia's father , taking my beloved wasn't enough for him and he took an important flash drive of the organization and that was what caused his death

I killed him" Diego laughed maniacally,his old voice resounding in the chamber

"And where did Amelia came into all of this?" Leo asked impatiently, he has never been a fan to Diego's torturing of Amelia rather he had tried to convince Diego to let her go, somehow he wished that Amelia would be the one to kill Diego

"Because she is the only descent of my nemesis, that flash drive, she is the only one who knows where it is, that's why Amelia must be found" Diego concluded,his fist tightly clenched

As he echo slowly "Amelia must be found"
