She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 640: RAID

While the occasion continued, in P country, Tristan was meeting three representatives sent by the President. They will be having a video conference along with one of the military commanders who will be discussing the plan to invade the island.

The island was really part of their country’s jurisdiction but because of the natives who lived there – people who don’t accept outsiders, they prevent everyone from visiting this island. It was for the safety of other people. They didn’t really monitor this place and because of that, they didn’t know that it was already taken by other people. The natives were even killed from poison testing and other physical abuse.

“Why should we believe you? Why should I risk my people to get into this island with no source of monitoring?” The President questioned intimidatingly but Tristan didn’t flinch at all. He knew that the President wouldn’t just believe them easily. At the end of the day, they’re foreigners, alien to this country and yet, they’re thick-skinned enough to ask for help.

“Mr. President,” Tristan started as he turned his other computer to face the camera. “I know someone inside. As we included in our letter, my employer is being harassed and threatened. We have investigated this matter and it led us to your beloved country. In truth, we can manage on our own to infiltrate the island but we wanted to let you know, a sign of respect and a formal introduction to avoid any problem later on.”

“So, you are saying that the people staying in this island right now – illegally occupying the place, are your fellow countrymen? Have you ever considered talking to our President about this because this is clearly an invasion?”

“The higher brass of the organization is not from our country. We have no idea which country this person is but we knew he’s not from our country. However, one of the doctors who worked for him, who is keeping in touch with us came from our country. She didn’t know that her work would involve the life of many innocent people. She couldn’t get in touch with anyone outside her family as well because she’s being monitored. If not because of their mistake for crossing with my employer, we wouldn’t be able to get in touch with her.”

“I understand now. Basically, you want to stop this organization from harming your employer, save the woman and at the same time, free the natives?”

.....

“Yes.”

“Then,’ the President turned to the General and asked for his opinion. “what can you say about this?”

“Mr. President, about the infiltration...”

Tristan continued to talk with them and spoke of his plan as well. He informed them of the current status of the two men who were able to come to the island as well as the identity of Denise. He talked to the doctor about it and he even suggested that they’d fake her death but Denise refused. No matter what happens, if she dies during the raid or get jailed for killing people, she’ll accept her fate. Her only request was to not publish her name to prevent her daughter from stumbling on it across the internet in the future. She’s willing to take the punishment for all her crimes.

When Tristan successfully persuades the President, he sent an email to Stefan about it. He’s been gone for quite some time and he wanted to go home as soon as he can. He missed Elena.

Denise received notification from Tristan about the operation and she prepared herself to do her part. She went to the laboratory and made a new drug that she can use to weaken her boss.

“Denise?” the man came and walked towards her. “I heard that your daughter finally met her father.”

Denise stiffened at his words and slowly turned to face him with a surprise expression on her face. “How can that be? Why would he meet her when I am not around? Did you tell him anything?”

“Hmm? Me? What would I tell him? That he has a daughter with you? I thought our agreement was to let him escape.”

“Right. So, how did he know about my daughter?”

The man smiled and pulled a picture of Monique and Simon who were happily chatting inside a café. “How would I know? I also wanted to ask you that question?”

“Why...why would you ask me that? How will I know? I couldn’t even go out of this island.” Denise retorted, still keeping her act to stop her boss from getting suspicious of her. She didn’t know that he had someone outside the island who was monitoring her baby. Which means to say, he knew about Stefan meeting with her child.

The man looked at the picture once again and placed it on the table in front of her. “Your daughter looks very similar to her father.”

“I can see that.” Denise replied with a lovely smile on her face.

“Sadly, you can’t see them.”

The island was far from the main city and they could only use a boat to a certain distance to avoid getting spotted. Once they reached that point of navigation, the marines will have to get off the boat and swim the rest of the distance with an oxygen tank.

Denise drew a map before for them and told them to use the opposite side of the mountain since it has lesser people who monitors the area. They’ll have their advantage as well compared to facing them head on from the very main dock.

Just as she said, there weren’t many people. It was awfully quiet but as the soldiers continued to march, they finally heard some noise. Yet, it wasn’t the kind of noise that they were expecting.

They followed the faint sounds of screams and what greeted them were lifeless bodies littered on the ground. Blood was flowing everywhere and the bodies varied in sizes. They could see lifeless children, old men and women and there were pregnant women as well.

Not far from them, they could see a lot of people who were running for their lives. The soldiers knew who their targets were because the natives can be easily identified from the foreigners. Without wasting more time, the soldiers started shooting without an ounce of fear and hesitation.

It was chaotic. Some natives even attacked the soldiers, thinking that they came to kill them as well. When they realized that they were being rescued, they stopped their assaults. They started helping the wounded and killed those men who molested them.

Three hours later, Tristan received a message from one of the soldiers that Chris lent them. It was a picture of Denise lying on the cold floor with blood pooling underneath her.

“Damn it!” Tristan kicked the chair angrily which startled Eliezer. “She’s gone.”

“They knew we were after them.”

“Someone was monitoring her baby. The moment Stefan showed up, they already knew what we’re up to. F*ck! F*ck him!”

Even though he was losing his composure, Tristan still managed to send a message to Stefan.
