Day Eighty-Eight…
~~*****~~
Jane wasn't able to sleep last night. She had been thinking about Ethan.
'Is he alright? What if he is scared right now? I hope Monica is not hurting Ethan.'
She gazed down and watched Mia's sleeping figure. She gently caressed her cheeks. After today, she didn't know if she could return safely.
However, her priority was to secure Ethan and rescue him from Monica. She would do anything for Ethan.
Monica warned her to keep their eting a secret. She was not allowed to divulge the information to anyone.
'Does Nathan know that Monica kidnapped Ethan?' Jane reached out for her phone. She was contemplating whether to contact Nathan or not.
'If sothing bad happens to … I need Nathan to rescue Ethan on my behalf. I have to do sothing to send him a secret ssage.'
Jane slowly and quietly got off the bed. She made sure not to wake Mia who was sleeping next to her.
She was constructing a ssage on her phone when she suddenly realized sothing.
'What if this will be the last ti I will be able to talk to Nathan?' Jane shook her head. 'I want to see him for one last ti…' she thought to herself.
She took a deep sigh before stepping out of the room. The surroundings were still dark. It was only 3:00 am in the morning.
Jane looked around, getting ready to sneak out of the house without Vincent's knowledge.
Using her skills as a legendary assassin, Jane managed to leave the villa without alarming the guards. She watched the villa for one last ti before she finally left in a hurry.
Jane headed straight to her secret hideout. Upon arriving there, Cherry opened the door for her. She didn't expect to see Jane at this hour.
"Sis! You are back!" Cherry's sleepiness disappeared as soon as she saw Jane's face. She even hugged her.
Jane just hugged her back, smiling. "Thank you, Black Rose… for taking care of this house."
"I should be the one thanking you, Sis. You allowed to stay here." Cherry giggled as she broke the hug.
"By the way, what brings you here? Do you need anything? Hanabi and Tatsumi are also here. They are sleeping in the guest rooms," Cherry added.
"I have one last mission to do," Jane said aningfully as she strode toward the basent. All her weapons and equipnt were being kept in the basent.
Cherry followed her from behind, puzzled at Jane's last remarks. Jane examined her stuff, thinking about her days as an assassin. She reminisced about those monts when she started her career in this field.
'I've never imagined that I would be able to find my family and fall in love with Nathan. Many good things happened to ever since I received my second chance to live. Thanks to Bam-Bam.' Jane smiled inwardly as she held her favorite dagger.
Though she possessed different kinds of weapons, she couldn't bring any of them. She knew that Monica would do a body inspection to make sure that she didn't have any weapons with her.
"Sis, are you okay? You are acting a little bit strange. Is there a problem?" Cherry decided to confront her.
Jane put down her dagger and glanced at Cherry. She signaled her to co closer. The two of them sat down in front of a computer. Jane searched for certain coordinates and showed them to Cherry. It was located in a private subdivision near the town center.
"What is this, sis?" Cherry assessed the location. Jane hacked the satellite to have a clear view of the area.
"I'm going there later this evening… at exactly 9:00 pm. If I am not out after thirty minutes… inform Nathan about this and send Hanabi and Tatsumi. Ask them to bring so elite n from the Sawada Clan."
Cherry noticed the seriousness in her tone. "What's going on here? Are you going there alone? What is this all about, sis?" Cherry bombarded her with questions.
"I can't give you all the details right now, but all I can say is… I'm going to chase after Monica. Cherry, I trust you completely. Just listen carefully and follow my instructions—you're the only one who can handle this." Jane grabbed her shoulders, looking straight into her eyes.
Cherry beca more anxious. The pressure was there.
"I have to go now, Cherry. There are lot of things I must do first." Jane pulled Cherry into a hug.
"Sis, you are making nervous. But I will trust you as well. Please be safe." Cherry hugged her back.
Jane didn't make a promise but she nodded to reassure her.
"I will say hi to Hanabi and Tatsumi first before I go." Jane rembered her two other friends.
"They will be happy to see you. Let's wake them up!" Cherry grabbed Jane's hand, leading her toward the guest rooms.
Jane entered Hanabi's room first. Because Hanabi was always on high alert, she imdiately woke up when she heard the footsteps and the sound of the door opening. She sat up, turned on the lights and was surprised to see Jane and Cherry.
"Sis Jane, Cherry!" She jumped off the bed, approaching the two excitedly.
"Sorry to wake you up. I just want to see you before I leave." Jane apologized right away, holding Hanabi's hand.
But Hanabi shook her head as she smiled from ear to ear. "You don't have to apologize. I'm glad to see you here. I've missed you!"
Jane let out a soft giggle. Hanabi was so fond of her.
"I've missed you too."
"Why are you here? I thought Vincent didn't want to let you leave his compound without being accompanied by his n. He is afraid that you will run away before the wedding." Hanabi made a face and rolled her eyes dramatically when she ntioned Vincent's na.
"I snuck out of the villa. So I grab the opportunity to et you. Furthermore, I am here to inform everyone that our prey took our bait. Monica is going to stop from marrying her man. So, you don't have to worry about marrying Vincent. Monica will ruin the wedding for sure!"
Cherry and Hanabi exchanged glances with one another before they burst out laughing.
"Actually, Vincent and Monica are the perfect pair. They should be together. Two villains!" Cherry expressed her sentints about the two.
"Exactly! I can't agree more!" Hanabi supported her remarks.
Jane could only shake her head helplessly. After a while, Jane turned to Hanabi with a solemn expression on her face. Hanabi stopped laughing upon eting Jane's gaze. "Hanabi… Allow to thank you for being so loyal to my father. When I went missing, my Dad treated you like his own daughter. I hope you will never change. We are one family here. I'm really happy that I got reunited with you and my father. I've lost my childhood mory but the most important thing is we got together once again."
Hanabi was touched by Jane's words. "Sis, why are you making so emotional today?"
Jane concealed her worry with a warm smile. "Oh, it's nothing. I just appreciate our friendship. I am grateful to that."
