Chapter 52Home Smells Like MomThe night was getting longer with no sleep in their dready eyes for all their hopes were ruined.Iris tried to keep Stella sane by talking to her. She was an amazing person with soft heartedness for every one. She would get touched by each and every girl around and mentioned her biggest worry and desire "I want to rescue each and every girl from the place safely."Iris kept her busy gossiping about her childhood tales "me and my sibling were adventurous enough to sneak into our neighbourhood" Stella pretended to be entertained though she was restless "and paint faces of sleeping aunts, and even crack pots of our favourite candies and marshmallows using the same sauces to gel up the hair of sleeping beauties.""I was the only child and don't know how fun it is to have a sibling" Stella was loosening up and was bit better."I will tell you more" Iris wanted to keep her distracted "We were a naughty pair of siblings indulging in some menace or other like
Chapter 53Planning & ExecutionHow do you feel when you are jumping off from a very high cliff without any protective gears?Yeah! your heart would be like beating of only drums in a rock concert.So was Iris's as she witnessed Lizzie stepping forward towards Gomez.Lizzie had her fake seductive smile, her cleavage was far more than visible and she was moving her ass a bit more attuned as she surrendered to the fate.She hugged him as he kissed her a tight and non-passionate kiss then licked his lips and grinned wildly.Lizzie murmured something into his ears. To which he gave a thoughtful gesture looking at his watch and then scratching the hair of his chest fantasizing his evening and then nodded in affirmation.His eyes filled with lust as he held Lizzie from her waist dragging her along with him roughly.Lizzie folded her right hand behind as she walked ahead, her back facing them.She gave them a three finger clue opening her thumb, pointer and little finger signifying the succe
Chapter 54HelplessnessThere was chaos..Every girl around was fighting and screaming on top of their lungs.All the guards and men including Gomez came to stop that fight and maintain calm as it would create some tension in the silent nights.Three girls took that chance and moved out from the only door left open when the men arrived in to stop the girls from actually barbequing each other with their words and blows. Iris was sure that nobody noticed them sneaking away.It was a huge dockyard with loads of boxes and high walls all over. Also there were frequent noises and sirens of the arrival and departure of the ships.They were running clueless, huffing and panting lost in the area where all the directions they took looked alike.There were few workers around but they managed to sneak from them, trying not to take a risk if they were part of the gang.The loading and unloading of boxes were clearly heard with the swishing of the seawater as they moved and smashed to the walls i
Chapter 55Easy Target?One need not be a scientist to identify the exit or entry of the dockyard. A small smile leapt Iris's lips but was washed away right there with the fear what if they were also linked with Brent. What if one of the watch keeper was an employee of Brent?They cannot simply run towards the door and then spoil the whole escape plan.Iris stopped at the place breathing deep still holding soft, milky white palms of Stella. 'She was Edwin's valuable property and I'd spare all the thistles of my body to keep her safe." She promised herselfIris looked at Lizzie as if she was the mastermind and must have already cooked up in her brain but with the expression in her eyes she too was completely clueless.So Iris simply walked ahead sticking o the huge metal walls of the dockyard reducing the chances of visibility, if it was fortuitous.The three of them walked slowly within an arms distance clenching each others wrist walking in a line.They almost reached the door whic
Chapter 56Shoot To kill"My phone... oh I don't need it. Useless creep" Edwin said dejectedly."Come on.." Ben said, as he was about to pick the phone from the couch "Stop behaving stupid." "How else do you expect me to behave when I am full on nerves about my love?" Edwin retaliated "Damn God! She is my wife. I am responsible for her safety and security. I had taken vows with her."Ben's phone buzzed blinking the light of the blue tooth grabbing both of their attention"At the fun n fair. Okay I'll head towards the place immediately. No not now. I'll call if I need a back up. I cannot crowd up and create doubts in their minds till I get the location of all the girls. Keep the team ready but.." Edwin heard him speak on the headset.He was not sure if it was right thing to do.But it was not the time to think morally. He had all his ears and instincts alerted for any single news of Stella.Ben readied himself checking with the bullets, strapping a knife on the holder wearing it on h
Chapter 57Sacrifice; The EndFortunately or unfortunately the guy ducked and got the bullet shot at his forearms. 'Atleast I am not a killer.' Edwin took the breath he had been holding 'I needed to protect Ben and he is safe.'Ben was alert now and went back to the place holding the little girl in his custody safelyHe jumped, ran and back rolled also shooting bullets at the opposites. There was silence all of a sudden when Edwin saw two bodies dipped in pool of blood and the announcement made to evacuate the place as the cops had invaded the entire place in their custody.Ben popped up from his hiding place with the girl in front of Edwin.He flinched for a micro second but was relieved to see that both Ben and the girl were safe."Good job" he directed at the gun in Edwin's hand and moved ahead commanding "follow me." He was carrying the girl who probably was unconscious on his shoulders and as he placed her in the car, he remembered something.Without uttering a word he sprinte
Chapter 58Bravery.'Contemplated with my love in my arms I need nothing else.'Stella's face was pale and tired with all the crying and the encounters she'd been through but Edwin held her in the security of his arms. There is hustling of bullets everywhere. The back up team was yet to arrive and Ben was fighting the battle with couple of his team mates. It was difficult to handle Iris earlier for she was not letting Ben go. She was not adherent to the fact that Ben is a cop and his friendship was only a pretend.Instead she hugged him tight begging him, "Please don't risk your life for a scum bag like me." She cried articulately for the loss of Lizzie 'They have already killed Lizzie," she tried to hold Ben "She was such a brave warrior but Ben; I do not want to take a chance and loose you." Ben for a moment melted in her arms as he lovingly caressed her head and guiltily hugged her. This compassionate expression was soon replaced by his stern and strict cop attitude. He dire
Chapter 59Action Iris had an ineffable feeling of security when she saw Edwin at the dockyard and once Stella landed into his arms, she was in peace. She was no longer scared of death but the person accompanying Edwin made the grounds under her feet disappear. By no chance could she see anybody else sacrificing their life and that too "Ben No! No ways!" she shouted, "you have always been a good friend to me.She tried to stop him, even apologized to him. How can a person be so good to risk his life for others?When Edwin held her in his arms she felt extremely comfortable in his presence and forgot all the pains and trouble she had been through.It felt was a 'back home. feelingAgain she realized that it was only because of the sacrifice by Lizzie. And she did not do it for her and Stella, she did it for all the girls.Iris wanted all the other girls to be free and safe too. It did not take her much time to figure out that Edwin and Ben had taken legal help to locate them and
