Chapter 415 - Find the girl (1) (2/2)

She smiled. ”Ready?”

Aiden pouted. ”No.”

Sarah guessed what is coming and rolled her eyes. ”What do you need to be ready?”

”You to go back.”

'I knew it!' She was happy that he cares about her, but she is not going to back down out of this. ”We went through this, how many times? Come on! No better time than now. The guard shift will be in less than fifteen minutes.” She stood up and started moving toward the villa stealthily. Aiden had no choice other than to follow her. The man who guided them there waited on that spot for them to come back. Hopefully.

To their surprise, no Wi-Fi. That means they need to find an outlet. Aiden didn't have time to object when he saw Sarah already jumping over the fence. He rushed after her. They used their skills and probably lot of luck to end up in one empty room with a network outlet.

Aiden was keeping watch while Sarah found her way to the security cameras on her laptop.

”What is taking so long?” He whispered anxiously.

”It's less than two minutes… I need more time!” Sarah whispered back. Few seconds later she smiled. ”I'm in!”

Sarah's eyes darted as she accessed various cameras, looking for a familiar face of a young girl from the photos that Jeff provided them.

”She is here!” Sarah exclaimed. Aiden was next to her in a second, eager to confirm that they completed their mission and can leave this wretched place full of dangers.

”Great!” He exhaled in relief seeing a young girl sitting on the floor of what looks like space separated with metal bars. ”Let's go!”

Sarah was about to close her laptop, when something caught her attention in the corner of the camera view she was observing. ”Wait!” She changed views of few more cameras until she found one with the best view of what she wanted to see.

”What is it?” Aiden frowned. Whatever it is, it can wait until they leave. He needs to get Sarah out of here.

”Look…” Sarah had a troubled expression. On the screen were several young girls, no more than fifteen years old. Few looked as young as ten. They were all squeezed in one corner, while two men were standing in front of them. Men had guns in their arms, waving them around obviously threatening the girls.

Aiden looked at the screen and then at Sarah. ”Baby… baby… no. We are leaving. Now. Baby, are you listening? Sarah? Please…”

Sarah looked at him with pleading eyes. ”We can't leave them here.”

Aiden shook his head resolutely. ”The client will get them out when he gets his daughter.”

”Look…” She gestured to the screen. Two men were advancing toward the girls. ”They don't have time to wait for the rescue.”

”Shit, baby… You are giving me such a headache!” No matter for whom it was, Aiden was not willing to go to any rescue mission that would put Sarah in danger.

”Honey, can you honestly tell me that you can leave this place, and sleep well knowing that you left them behind in such a situation?”

”I have no problem sleeping well knowing that you are safe.” As soon as he said that, Aiden analyzed what Sarah said. 'She called me 'honey'? Why do I have a feeling that few times she called me anything other than by my name she wanted me to do something unreasonable?' Aiden frowned. Somehow, he remembered his mother and that 'Den-Den' nickname she used when she wanted to enforce her will... Aiden quickly came back to the situation they are in.

”Well, I can't just leave them like that! And I can't do this alone… Will you help me?” Sarah looked at him with her beautiful green eyes full of expectation and blinked few times.

Aiden felt that his resolve is wavering. He was conflicted. 'I want to do what she wants to make her happy. But also, I must keep her safe.' He didn't see how he can accomplish both.
