La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 58

"We leave at exactly 16:15. Is everything ready?"

Ellard sat in his study, staring at a small glock pistol in his hand. The flagship weapon that has been sleeping in the contest for years. He saved because it was the request of the wife to live a quiet and better life after family.

Today Ellard is forced to wake her up again, to save Luna. The last time the man used it was just before he got married to Rosalie.

"Already, Sir. We have 3 helicopters. One for the three of us, one core and one last for the weapon. While others have departed since this morning by land and sea. They'll be waiting for us offshore watching the surroundings." Alex gave me the report.

"All right, we'll wait for Stefan upstairs" Ellard said, riding the elevator to the roof with Alex. There is a helipad and a small room that contains a mini bar that is usually used for temporary rest of his men.

A few minutes passed. Ellard was enjoying his drink, while Alex was out several times receiving reports from his men.

Up to five minutes before departure, Stefan had not yet seen his nose. And Ellard's getting restless.

"Where is this kid?" mumbling Ellard. He put the gun in his holster. Then looked at the watch that was coiled around his wrist.

Stefan asked permission two hours ago. Fan supposedly, his nephew had arrived because it only took no more than an hour to go back and forth Ellard's house to Stefan's apartment.

Ellard got up from her seat. The man pulled out his phone and tried to contact Stefan. The first call sounded a long waiting tone and was not lifted at all. The next call broke in the middle. Stefan's phone is still inactive.

Ellard's jaw is hardened. Don't let what he's afraid of happen.

"Open Stefan's GPS!" tell Ellard as soon as Alex comes in. The man was surprised even though he was sprightly and immediately did the master's orders.

In a sophisticated flat-screen object is seen a stopping point at the location of Stefan's apartment.

"Don, check into Mr. Stefan's apartment now!" alex orders him through his cell phone to his men. Alex seemed to have read Ellard's orders with a look in the eye. The long-serving man no longer waits for orders.

"It's impossible for anything to happen with him. Stefan's not that weak. Where's your men's position?"

Various speculations swirled in Ellard's brain. If Stefan can't possibly be captured by the enemy, that means....

"One kilometer from Mr.'s apartment. Stefan, Sir."

"okay!"

Ellard seemed increasingly agitated waiting for news from his men. The man was seen pacing back and forth in front of his mini bar while occasionally sipping a drink from his hand.

Alex's phone rang along with Ellard who almost asked Alex to check for Stefan himself.

"How's it?"

Alex seemed to listen to someone who contacted him seriously, he was heard to only answer yes a few times.

"Have you confirmed? Alright." Alex ended the phone call. "Mr Ellard, Mr. Stefan is not in his apartment. There are no suspicious traces. Neither violence nor resistance. Looks like he_"

Brakk!

Ellard's clenched hand punched the glass door next to it until it broke and scattered.

"Stefans! You didn't even listen to me!" Ellard growled with her clenched hand. Drops of blood fell to the floor, surprising Alex who was beside him.

The man who had long been Ellard's men immediately ran into the heli and looked for the P3K box that was there.

"We're leaving right now!" break Ellard.

They got into their helicopters. While Ellard still with an injured hand stepped over to Alex who was waiting for him at the entrance.

"Master, let me treat your hand first."

Ellard just kept quiet. He went up and sat there. The middle-aged man did not refuse at all when Alex asked for his hand to be treated. But it is very noticeable that Ellard is not okay. Worry was still evident on his face. And the resentment that dominated the actions of his nephew.

A few hours ago,

This morning, as the others prepared, Stefan was in Elea's room. The man accompanied the little princess and Ellard's only granddaughter to play.

Every now and then, their joking laughter sounded out of the room. Especially if Elea screams to tell Stefan to do what. Because when they were together, the two people always sounded excited and cheerful.

There was a message coming in from an unknown number. The number is the same as yesterday's number that contacted him via Luna's foreign cell phone.

Stefan deliberately diverted all incoming messages from the phone that the criminals gave to his messaging application. Because he had to eliminate the traces of the cell phone that Ellard had also asked, so that the uncle did not suspect.

Coming to Victoria Island. Find the building lined with 3, then enter the leftmost building. Remember not to bring anyone. No matter how small my men find a weapon, Luna will accept the consequences.

"Uncle, El Kangen Mama. Why don't you stay here with El?" The little girl suddenly approached Stefan who was standing by the window with his cell phone.

"Darling...."

Stefan's speechless. His heart must continue to lie to his little daughter. Especially at this time maybe Luna's situation is not okay. He feels more guilty.

"Let's meet Mama, Uncle. Don't you miss El?" whine Elea again. The look of wheezing with sobs and tears that melted in Elea's cheeks made Stefan feel claustrophobic.

"Why is El crying? Let's play with Uncle again," entertain Stefan,

the man kissed his little princess's face. Wishing to calm down for a moment his turmoil.

"Uncle promise to bring Mama here. And Elea could calmly walk with Mama again" promised a father to her little daughter, though Elea did not understand.

Papa loves you so much, son. Grow up strong.

Two hours before their departure, Stefan asked his uncle's permission to return to his apartment. And Ellard just let go of it without suspecting the niece.

Stefan had a plan that was even more mature than his uncle's. It came to Victoria Island itself, according to the request of the criminals who hold Luna. Stefan didn't want to risk the safety of the woman he loved. But he also could not just make the uncle suspicious of his secret steps.

Stefan was delighted that he had easily left the uncle's headquarters unattended. As the hours went by, everyone was busy getting ready. Check the readiness of weapons and equipment needed there later. Until the departure of the handsome man was like being neglected.

Feeling safe, he immediately darted towards his apartment. Stefan's preparation for himself is already 100 percent. Even Stefan was preparing for the worst-case scenario that might happen.

The fastest way to get there is by plane. But there's no way Stefan's riding it. He needs privacy, also because he was not there for a vacation then his arrival must be kept secret.

"I'm ready!" Stefan seemed to be contacting someone. After that he took the elevator to the top floor of his apartment to the helicopter runway.

Stefan moved quickly without wasting any more time. Because the man was afraid that the uncle would notice his disappearance.

A helicopter came to pick him up. In just an hour Stefan had landed on a ferry waiting for him.

The man deliberately chose a landing spot off the coast behind the hill so as not to arouse suspicion. Although he was waiting for those people, he still needed time to save all his weapons.

"This place is safe?"

"Sir, Mister. You can hide your weapons closer to the target because we're passing through the back" said Stefan's men who had been waiting there.

The day went dark. The night, the waves on the beach get bigger. And the rays of the sun still occasionally peeked, bringing the atmosphere of a dim afternoon. Even so, it still does not dampen Stefan's intention to pass through.

The handsome man nodded. Then put on his wetsuits. After that he dropped into the water and swam closer to the land.

There was no sight of anyone standing guard on the land he was referring to. Stefan just followed the flashlight beam that was deliberately made to blink using the morse code "here" as a marker his men were.

Out of the water, the man ran over to someone. His men were quick to help him take off his breathing apparatus and frog legs on both legs.

Then another man emerged from the bushes and gave him a bulletproof vest and a bag containing several bullets and an explosive headwaters. Do not forget the long-barreled weapon that became his choice.

The handsome man stood up for a moment. Convince yourself and strengthen your guts. If he could not take Luna with all the love he had, at least he gave his life in exchange for the life gamble that Luna did for Elea, his flesh and blood.

Stefan took off all communication tools. Then he told all his men to leave him. It really has to be alone. And do not let his arrival be tracked. Because he still had to hide his weapon as neat as possible.

Walking bowed, the man dressed in all black stepped slowly towards the headquarters that looked just like an ordinary house but was two-story.

He infiltrated around the building and kept what he carried in such a way. Just pull all the weapons into his hands.

Then Stefan who was empty-handed and changed his clothes back to the beach. He planned to go through the front door by surrendering.
