Chapter 340 - Eagle (2/2)
A tall, muscly man stood opposite Herman. He was wearing a black coat with a black shirt, paired with some jeans, and on his face, he wore a mask. It seemed, his idea of a disguise was very similar to Herman's.
He picked up a bag that was sitting on the floor next to him and threw it at Herman, ”Everything's in here. Take it and go.”
Herman quickly unzipped the bag and flipped through the stacks of cash inside with greedy eyes. If he ran away with this bag now, he could live off this money for a while. Was he really handing himself in? With a smile, he grabbed the bag and left the warehouse.
After he was gone, Eagle walked up to Halia and had a proper look at her. As he knelt down beside her, he lifted her chin and analyzed her face. ”Aren't you too beautiful to be special police?” he smirked.
After he was confident that the woman was the right person and she posed no threat, he stood up and made a phone call, ”Boginya, I have her. What do you want me to do?”
Halia listened as the man spoke on the phone. Boginya? Who was Boginya?
”Yes, yes, yes. OK. I'll call you back,” the man said. She then heard him walk away for a bit.
Halia listened with curiosity. It sounded like he was taking orders from this Bonginya. What did this person want with her?
She opened one eye slowly to check that the man was gone and started untying the rope around her hands. As she did so, she looked around and saw a few figures sneak into the warehouse. Amongst them was Jackson. He looked at her and revealed a comforting smile.
Just as she smiled back, she heard some footsteps approach and quickly closed her eyes again. Eagle was back.
As she leaned against the wooden pallets, all she could rely on were her other senses to figure out what was happening, but she knew Jackson was watching over her so she was not worried.
She listened intently and heard the man approach. What was this man planning to do with her?
She sniffed a little and could smell the strong scent of cigars coming from the man's body as he got closer.
Then, without a warning, she suddenly felt a strong splash of water against her face and body. She subconsciously opened her eyes and coughed from the water that entered her nose.
Eagle looked at her and laughed as he held onto an empty bucket. ”Our sleeping beauty is finally awake. Someone wants to speak to you...” he said.
Halia blinked her eyes and almost reached out her hand to wipe her face, but quickly remembered her hands were supposed to be tied, so she quickly jumped into acting mode. ”Who are you? What am I doing here?” she asked. These were the questions that people always asked when they were kidnapped, right?
The man snickered, ”I am Eagle... The Organization sent me...”
