The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 5. A Suicide Mission?
Xavier heard it was shocked. So did Graciella that they finally looked at each other. What do they need Graciella for?
"No! can't!" Xavier's. He doesn't want to add any hostages to the case.
"YES! HELP!" there was a loud scream from the communication device. Xavier raised his eyes. Gracilella followed him.
"What is he doing now?" ask Xavier quickly to the soldier. The soldier immediately found out what the criminal was doing and immediately reported it.
"They hurt Mrs Diplomat, Commander!"
"Damn!" ogt Xavier is upset.
.
"Hows it? do I have to hurt her son too?" bluff the criminal with his sarcastic tone.
"Are there any children there?" graciella asked in shock.
Xavier nodded. "This Diplomat's son is eight years old."
"I'm going in!" graciella. He imagined it must be very scary for an eight-year-old child in captivity and saw his mother's father being hurt like that.
"No!" turn Xavier down, "You think it's a joke! just do your job!"
Graciella frowned, narrowing her eyes back at Xavier, "Then? what are you gonna do?"
Xavier plays his lips. He was still thinking what he should do, but letting this woman in was not the right thing.
"The kid must have been very scared. He saw his father and mother hurt. Maybe his physical is not injured now but certainly his psychic is injured," explained Graciella opened the analgesic needle because she felt it was enough to remove the liquid. He saw an ambulance approaching. This victim can be said to be in a stable state.
"Hey! hows it? do I have to hurt his son!" ask the kidnapper again.
"Give us time!"
"Hurry up, I can't wait forever!"
Xavier looked at the sturdy Graciella standing nearby. Graciella tries to show her seriousness so that Xavier does not doubt her. Although there is actually fear. Sure was! he doesn't know what's going to happen there. But, his safety compared to that child's safety, to him was certainly more precious the child's safety. Whoa! if he dies, nothing is sad. He's just an orphan.
"Give him information about them!" Xavier ordered his men. Graciella took a deep breath. It was an agreement from Xavier. A soldier carries a tablet containing the data of criminals, photos of two men in their 20-30s are there.
"This is the man who called us. This one is his partner, he was injured before this incident. I think he wants to save his friend's life because it's asking you inside. These are the two hostages" Xavier explained.
Graciella hears Xavier's explanation. Observing the suspect's face, he frowned. He then saw the face of the Diplomat boy. Very funny with his big smile. Now he must be very traumatized, he might not smile like this again.
"I want to talk to them." Graciella looked seriously at Xavier who was in front of her. Again, their eyes meet again. Graciella only realized how sharp the man's gaze and dark his eyeballs were.
“For what?”
“Contact only. There's something I want to say.”
Xavier narrowed his eyes slightly back. “Give him his communication tools.”
The loyal soldier behind Xavier immediately gave Graciella his communication tools. Graciella used it right away.
“What exchange?” the criminal responded.
“I'll be your hostage, but release the boy,” pinta Graciella.
“Heh? you think I'm stupid? nay! if you don't come now! I'll hurt his mother back!” answer the criminal quickly.
“You must have a wife and children, right? imagine if that child was your child. He must be scared to be there. What if he saw you hurt, can you imagine? she cries out in fear.” Graciella said that very gently. It was like telling a bad boy. There is no quick answer like the criminal did. “Your son, definitely does not want to see you hurt another child, I am sure he will be even more disappointed with you.”
Xavier frowned. Everyone gathered there was silent. It felt silent as Graciella said those words in a motherly tone. They asked in their hearts, what is the woman thinking? fight criminals with gentleness?
Long enough no reply, “Alright, but don't mess with me, otherwise you'll get his mother not breathing!”
Graciella breathes relief. He smiled faintly then looked towards Xavier who was frowning his forehead deeply, there was a stroke of question on his face.
“There was a ring on his ring finger. So she must have been married, and then she's always going to torture her mother instead of her child, so I guess she has a child so she can't bear to do it. If he does not have, surely he prefers to torture the child because psychologically we feel more sympathy if children become his victims.” Graciella explained what she was thinking. “Now, you just have to think about how to release his mother.”
Xavier looked at Graciella with a flat face. To be honest he was quite amazed by the analysis of Graciella who could think up to there. “Prepare him for exchange.” Xavier orders on his members.
Graciella pressed her fingers. A habit that he always does when he is anxious or afraid. Xavier tightened a bulletproof vest that had been worn onto Graciella's small body. His attention fell on Graciella's fingers that looked scuffed and blue. Doesn't he feel it?
Graciella looked at the man she just realized was very tall and sturdy. Their height is so far away. Even if Graciella stood behind him it seemed like she would be perfectly covered.
“Already.” cold the man said it. Graciella just pressed her lips nodding. Now that he had just realized, he was quite frightened. Seeing the tense face of Graciella who repeatedly sighed, Xavier finally softened his face. “Just relax, we will release you soon.”
Graciella's face turned sad. Suddenly he remembered his life. At once he felt like he did not want to be saved. Didn't he want to die before? to die in a battle like this, it would be better than to be remembered as a suicide.
Graciella threw her thin smile, “Tak needs to be too pushy, I'm ready for this.”
Xavier knitted his eyebrows together into a wavy one. What does this woman mean? Did he want to turn this mission into a suicide mission?
“Commander, they're already in front of the house!” report Xavier's army.
Xavier nodded. He took his firearm. He then walked along with the tough-looking Graciella walking towards the gate that had been destroyed hit by the car of the criminals.
Graciella stared at the miris looking at a tearful looking girl held captive by a necklace of criminal hands around her neck. While the gun muzzle stuck to the side of his head. The fear face was clearly visible on his face.
“Alright! have that woman walk towards me first!” yell that criminal.
“Can't! we're not stupid! let go of the girl first and she will walk towards you!” shouted Xavier.
“You think I'm stupid too!”
“Alright, we release them together.”
“No! if you guys don't follow what I want, I'll kill his mother as well as him!” the criminal pressed a gun to the boy's head. The boy shouted loudly. The mother on the second floor was hysterical to see how her son's head was pressed with the weapon.
Seeing that precarious state, Xavier pressed his jaw hard. He saw on the second floor, the injured kidnapper could still point his gun at the child's mother. This situation is very difficult. Surely his goal was to rescue all the hostages without any injuries. But it seems like it will be difficult to do so even though so many members are here. In addition, the president asked to keep this matter a secret so as not to happen mass hysteria.
He then looked at Graceilla who seemed to have been steady to continue this. They do not want to follow what they are asking for.
“I'll start walking. If anything happens to me, tell my husband! I'm free.” Graceilla began to step up with a faint smile that Xavier did not know what it meant. Xavier heard it became startled. This woman wanted to kill herself!
