Chapter 94"She's asleep," Connor said.Russo looked up from what he was reading and nodded his head. He was quite happy that Martha was doing alright even though he had gotten the shock of his life when he saw that state she was in. Never in his life could he ever have believed that she would be in that situation because as far as he was concerned, Connor's house was the safest place he knew. There were many things he was confused about, many things he didn't like but he couldn't complain because at the end of it all, all of them were safe which was the most important thing."Thank goodness." he sighed, pulling off his glasses.He placed it on the table, rubbing his eyes in tiredness. He had been through a lot these past few days and what he really wanted was rest and long hours of sleep. He wouldn't stop though because everything he was doing and had done was because he loved them. They were like a family to him, one in which he would never leave even though he might pass through so
Chapter 95"We are invading Michael's mansion tomorrow night." Connor said.He was addressing his men in the large hall within the safe house. He knew he had put it off for too long and now, it was time to go in and rescue his son. Thankfully, Orlando had been keeping a good eye on his son and so far, he had reported that not one harm had befallen him. Funny enough, Michael took care of him, ensuring that he was bathed and fed regularly as at when due by an experienced nurse.Connor found it hard to believe but when Orlando managed to take a few pictures then send it to him, Connor realized that he was telling the truth. His son was looking radiant and when Annah saw him, she burst into tears because she realized that he looked so much like Connor but he took her eyes."As you know, we've been able to get a secure contact with a man who lives in the mansion. This man will be very instrumental to the attack but I must warn you." He remained silent for several seconds, staring into the
Chapter 96"They've gone?" Annah asked.Connor walked into his room to see her laying on the large couch, looking through a magazine that had been on his table for weeks now. It was an old edition of the magazine and he wondered what she saw in it to be reading it but he realized that she was just using it to kill time and secondly because she didn't want to feel very anxious. He could tell that she was very agitated because she didn't know the outcome of the men saving their son and he knew that he had to help her forget that anxiety that seemed to hold her down."Not yet, babe, but very soon," he said.They stayed in comfortable silence for a while with her reading the magazine and hoping that she didn't burst out crying because her emotions were already at an all time high. It was one thing to be hopeful but when you were agitated about that particular thing and you didn't know whether it would turn out well, it was another ballgame entirely.That was the situation they found thems
Chapter 97"I'll be back okay." Connor smiled before rising to his feet.Annah nodded, watching him leave. She was quite happy that she got what had been going on within her out, now she knew that she would be able to live with herself and still hope that her son would be back home safely.Outside, Connor saw the look on Hands' face and he just knew that something wasn't going on well and he hated not knowing what it was. He walked together with him towards the control room and looking around, he couldn't see anything that told him that something was amiss."What's the matter?" Connor asked."Sir, we were supposed to use the silencer to carry on the mission but we realized that there isn't enough. We will be ten going for this operation but what we have is just six," he said.Connor knew that there was a problem now and they needed to solve it before it was too late. They couldn't go into an operation without enough weapons and he knew that going in like that would be disastrous, not
Chapter 98Connor cut the call, placing his phone back in his pocket as he made his way back to the control room to find Hans. He knew that he would be somewhere around there since he was staying on top of everything that was happening when it came to what they were about to do. He finally found the chief security officer by a corner of the room, looking through a document."Boss, you've been able to get through?" he asked.Connor nodded, giving him affirmation to get the ball rolling. He knew that Adrian would never fail him and he wasn't surprised that he had answered him. Now, four automated silencers were on their way to them and he knew that they would arrive in no time. "Yes, I have. They'll be here soon." Connor said.He made his way out of the room, heading towards his own room where he found Annah arranging the bed. He walked in, wrapping his hands around her waist as he brought her closer to himself. Her body was so warm and in that moment, he loved that he got to live this
Chapter 99"As you got out today, remember the reason why you are going. You are going there to save my son and to bring him back safely. Hans has briefed you all on what to do. Do not fail!" Connor said before stepping back.Annah looked at the small gathering from the window of her room as Connor and Hans talked between themselves. Her emotions were high as she didn't know what to think or even say. Today was the day she had been waiting for all her life and now that it was here, she didn't even know what to say."I will bring your son back, boss. I can assure you on that," Hans said.Connor nodded, shaking hands with him as the men finally left in two unmarked trucks. This was the day they had been waiting for and now, it was finally happening."They will succeed. I just know it," Russo said.Meanwhile, in one of the unmarked cars, Hans gave specific instructions to his men, hammering the need for him to be the one to carry the child out of the room."We will be dropping off a few
Chapter 100The sound of trucks filled the air as Annah sat up immediately, looking ahead of her as she bit her lips, wondering if what she thought was real. Her anxiety shot up again as Connor ran towards the main entrance of the house, not quite believing that they were back. There were several things he wanted to say, several things his mind was taking him to and he hated thinking the worst."Calm down son, they brought him." Russo said.Connor didn't know if he could believe what he said because he hadn't seen his son yet but still, there was a feeling within him that told him that his son was here. Finally, the truck stopped in front of the house."Where is he? Where is my son?" Annah asked, running out of the house.Tears streamed down her eyes as she ran out of the house. Connor followed and the next thing they saw was Hans walking out with a smile on his face and their child in his arms. They couldn't believe what they were seeing and at that moment, Annah cried out in happine
Chapter 101"Hans, give me a breakdown of everything that has happened." Connor said.He and Russo and the chief security officer were all gathered in Connor's home office and as they waited for him to speak, so much tension flowed through their body and they didn't even know what to expect. The tension in the room was palpable, as both Connor and Russo anxiously awaited the outcome of their infant's rescue mission.Hans cleared his throat, his face solemn but with a hint of relief, and began. He knew he needed to get on with this before he finally lost it."Gentlemen, I'm pleased to report that the operation to extract your baby from Michael's mansion went smoothly. We managed to infiltrate the compound undetected, and I can confirm that Michael has no idea about what happened."Connor and Russo exchanged a relieved glance, their shoulders relaxing slightly that Michael hadn't known. They knew they would still battle him one way or the other but they didn't want it to be this soon be
