Chapter 332 - Three Hundred And Thirty-three: Good Night (2/2)
”Let's go,” He ordered Andrew as soon as he climbed into the car, and they drove off.
”How long would it take to get there?” he asked Andrew just to be sure he had enough time to mentally prepare himself before seeing her.
”Twenty minutes at most if I drive at this speed with no traffic,”
”Alright,” He sighed, looking out of the window deep in thought when his phone rang not less than five minutes later.
”Hello?” Emerald picked, highly surprised that Reina was calling. It wasn't that they do not communicate regularly but she was supposed to be halfway across the world for her honeymoon.
”Is that you, Emerald?” She inquired just to be sure.
”The One and only,”
”ThankGod,” there was relief in her voice, ”Alright, I need you to rescue a very close friend of mine, she seems to be in trouble,”
Suddenly, Emerald had an ominous feeling in his spirit but he had to be sure before concluding, ” Who?”
”Cecil,”
His heart dropped. No way.
”She's at her place and I've promised to send help in fifteen minutes - she's smart enough to buy time for herself - but I want your asses down there before the estimated time. If anything happens to her, I won't spare you,” was her strict warning.
”You don't need to tell me twice,” He hung up on her and instructed Andrew, ”Hit the gears at maximum speed! She's in danger,”
And just like that, Andrew accelerated to full speed as they raced through the road like madmen. Thanks to their dangerous driving, the police chased after them asking them to pull over.
”Lose them,” He commanded nonchalantly as if this was a common occurrence.
Andrew obeyed and took many shortcuts, he trapped them by causing a blockage with other incoming cars that stopped the police from trailing after them.
He gave Andrew a look of approval for his fast thinking yet his heart was not settled, were they late to the rescue?
They arrived at Cecil's neighborhood just in time to see a van pulling out of her lawn.
”Stop that car!” he pointed at it, having a feeling they were in there.
”On it!” Andrew said and without a second thought, collided with the van. Due to the fact they had braced themselves on time, both men didn't experience much whiplash compared to the prey.
Emerald got out, strode over to the van, and pulled the door open and there he found mother and son groaning in pain.
”Hey, you! What are you -”
Bam!
He punched the daylight out of the man who tried to stop him as he reached for the woman.
”Can you walk?” he asked the boy who nodded his head, yet looked at him cautiously.
”You don't have to be afraid, Reina sent me,” He assured the boy, pulling the weak woman into his arm effortlessly.
”Alright,” Pedro nodded, getting out of the car.
”Let's go,” Emerald announced and carried the woman over to his car. He was just about to usher the boy in when the hairs on his back stood on edge; someone was about to attack him. However, before he could retaliate, someone already beat him to it.
”You bastard!”
Pedro saw one of the kidnappers try to attack his savior with a knife and he reacted instinctively by doing a flying kick that knocked the man to the ground, the weapon falling off his grasp.
”Nice move, who taught you that?” Emerald was impressed.
”My girlfriend,” He answered with pride. Seems sparing with Isabella finally paid off - even though he was the one often tossed to the ground.
”I would love to meet your girlfriend,” Emerald patted the boy on the shoulder, ”But at the moment… ” his smile disappeared as he hovered over the kidnapper threateningly.
”Goodnight,” the huge man punched the fool to sleep.
