"E1, you'll be covering the east side." Laurain encircled the area on the map placed on the table as she explained the situation to the five trainees that came with Ace.
"There are three buildings in your coverage. You'll first go on the highest one and clear it, also check the other buildings from there and clear any sniper and enemy present in the other buildings. You'll be keeping eye on all sides east to north and east to south."
Laurain said to the young man with black hairs.
"N2 will be covering the area from north to east and north to west, there might be people hiding in the bushes and on the trees. After clearing the area you'll yourself hide on the largest tree keeping eye on their base." She said to a 20 year old young boy.
She marked the points where enemy might or might not be present.
"W3" Laurain looked at the boy.
"I understood" he replied confidently.
Laurain turned to the two girls.
"S4 and C5 will be together, C5 will be keeping an eye on all of you through the drone cameras, in the car."
Laurain put her both palms on the large map spread out on the large table and supported her weight on it. She looked at the youngsters straight in their eyes though she herself was one of them, she intimidated them greatly, of course they were on different levels.
"Any problems?" She asked seriously.
"No"
"No"
"No"
"No"
"No"
They all replied in chorus.
"Dave explain the plan." Laurain asked the man.
"Everyone will find a safe spot first and clear the situation while trying to remain hidden then one by one find and take out the enemy. After clearing the assigned area we'll focus on their main building or base where probably the kidn*pped and sold children and girls are present" he replied monotonously.
Laurain nodded.
"Any questions?"
"If we all are stationed outside then who would go in?" asked one of the girls.
"I will be going in" Laurain said obviously.
"But there are more then hundred children to be rescued and the enemies will be no less then two hundred."
"Good question. I'll be sending them out for you guys."
All of them became silent as this is the moment where they have to show their worth.
"Listen carefully"Laurain looked at all of them, "you'll be a team from now onwards, every teammate's life is your life. Your first priority will not be to take immediate action or kill the enemy....your first and foremost priority is 'your' and 'your' teammate's 'Life'.....no matter the situation you have to protect yourself....and eachother. Dave will be your team leader if you guys pass this test."
"Dismissed"
Laurain left the conference room and went to her office.
Ace was still busy in his mobile.
Laurain sighed and rolled her eyes as she looked at him. She sat on the chair.
"I need you to prepare divorce papers."
Tak.
The mobile fell from his hand. He looked at her shocked.
"Sis I don't want to divorce please have mercy on me" he said with his innocent puppy dog eyes looking extremely serious at the same time.
Laurain looked at him blankly for a while. She was really regretting giving him such an important position. Her face slowly turned into a small scowl as she rolled her eyes.
"Are you married?" Laurain asked him disdainfully.
"Huh" he came back to his senses.
"Oh I'm not" he said scratching the back of his neck as reality hit him.
"Nor are you, So for whom the divorce papers for?" He asked nonchalantly, as he grabbed an apple from the fruit basket placed on the table and took a big bite.
"I am"
Cough..cough...cough.
He choked on the apple and it came out of his mouth.
Laurain made a disgusting face.
"You...you...you... are..married?" His eyes widened in shock looking at her all time cold face.
He couldn't believe that someone has the guts to marry an ice cold women. Laurain was different, it was really difficult to get along with her. It took Ace two years to understand and get along with her and after two years she hacknowledged him and got a little free and comfortable with him. He was only a four years child back then and Laurain was only 7. But she kept an eye on him as he was a mischievous little thing, and was getting hurt every now and then. She took care of him even though she didn't show it. She was always behind him whenever he sneaked out. Ace was similar to a bug back then. And who could remain cold to a cute to a white bunny who was always hopping around her.
Ace gulped before asking a really horrendous question.
"Did you force that poor men to ma..marry you?" His looked at her from beneath his eyelids.
Laurain who heard this picked the empty pen holder and threw it directly at his face. Which he dodged thankfully but just as he turned to face her a file hit him square in the face.
"Organize last years file." She spat out coldly.
"Which groups?" He asked sadly. He knew this was his punishment for using his not so useless tongue carelessly.
"MLAR groups" she smirked.
"No no no no. I'm sorry sis, I'll sew my mouth don't please don't punish me this severely" he was begging her.
Laurain looked at him coldly.
Ace knew he was done for. His head was lowered as he walked already tired to the door.
Sniff.
"Only China's" Laurain added pitying him just a little.
A full blown grateful smile came on his face as he sniffed back his fake sobs. He immediately turned around and went back to his seat happily.
Laurain narrowed her eyes at him. This brat will never learn, she was sure of it.
"Are you going there alone?" He asked.
"Hmm"
"Something's fishy about that place. The warehouse is hidden perfectly but it is used by a small group of gangsters. There are total two hundred people that will be present tomorrow at the base."
"Its a trap"
"Its a trap"
He looked at laurain astonished.
"You knew" his eyes widened.
"Ofcourse you of all people would have known" he slumped back on his chair.
"You can't take them, they are not trained for an A class mission"
"Its not an A class mission."
"Are you kidding me?" He almost shouted but her one glare was enough to shut him up.
"There will be back up, 50 highly trained mens will be keeping them safe incase of any mishap. Moreover I want to see how they will cope up with the situation if they are not loyal to eachother and themselves than I don't need them."
"Also prepare the divorce papers for me and Tom Long."
"LONG?" Ace received another shock.
"H..ho..how you got tangled with them" he asked, a look of dislike clearly visible on his face.
Laurain didn't want to narrate the whole story to him.
"Somehow" she answered shortly.
"You are married with someone from that family. How? He might be same as them a bastard."
"Why do you think i work as a small director in a simple company in other country."
When Ace cursed Tom, his sad voice reverberated in her ears and his sad face came in her mind as he told her that how ashamed he was and decided to never work in their company.
"He........"
Ace looked at Laurain.
"Is not a bad man........I think."
Laurain said as she squinted her
eyes a little.
Ace's hands went to cover his mouth which was wide opened by what she just said.
"Y...you( he pointed at her) are not Laurain... i don't believe you....you are not my sister..... lets go to a psychiatrist or should we go to a neurologist." He said as he put his hands on his head frustrated.
"Get lost, organize the files of Taiwan also."
Ace just gave her a sour look and immediately ran away not wanting to get anymore work.
Laurain sighed and focused on the current main project of the company.
Laurain went to her temporary home late at night. Tom was awake and waiting for her. He was worried for her as her wounds haven't healed fully. He called her but she just told him 'I am busy' and cut the call.
"Are you all right? Is it hurting anywhere?.."
Just as she entered the apartment tom asked her. He was really worried about her after all she is his wife.
Laurain didn't replied and just looked at him. She knew what she was about to say also concerned him.
"Lets get divorce"
