Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

“Probably a memory issue…” Diana concluded.

Meanwhile, Otani didn’t succeed on getting the silver ring despite his work filled tactical efforts. Out of possible options he switched to plan B. However, he already knew specifically, where his mum was being held captive, he deduced from the video call that was made with the help of –

Alongside six of his men occupying two red BMW, Oman droved Otani to the address he was given, the jungle district. They alighted from their car and they behold the sight of a very thick forest ahead, like the Amazon forest. This district was called the jungle district of Sterling city.

Otani glanced around them and then his gaze rested on a stop sign. Underneath it a signboard was attached and it read “Danger ahead!”

“Jake must have been thoughtful to have a hideout in this unthinkable place!” He smirked.

“Com’on boys!” He ushered, let’s proceed. His hideout is somewhere in this vicinity or deep down this jungle – ” Otani urged his men as everyone’s survival instinct kicked in. The place looked scary on its own.

Then they started of towards the jungle….. all wearing fighting gears and each with their weapons. Like they were going for battle. Otani was on the lead, behind him was Oman, while the other followed suit.

Meantime, Jake was in his hideout, deep into the jungle. He was seated opposite Jason who seemed very uncomfortable because he has been unable to reach out to his son and it’s the reason why he was yet to order the mega Island soldiers to attack.

Jake already noticed this, then his shoulders was tapped from behind. He widened his brows suggesting and asking “what?” In a brusque manner. Then the bodyguard lowered and whispered to Jake’s perception. “Otani already found us!”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

There was a CCTV footage in all areas of the jungle district entrance and even inside of the jungle. Jake’s men did that to ensure their hide out was strictly encrypted and as such, any intruder can be caught and apprehended on time, if they pose a threat.

Jake immediately jumped out of the couch that he was seated on at once. He was super shocked. “How the hell did he found out about their whereabouts?”

“Com’on… Think … Think…. Think….. Think……” He immediately placed his hands on his chin and started to rack his brain…. Just how?

” How? What did I miss?”

“Sir, we need your order to neutralize them!” The bodyguard still waiting for an order felt a need to remind Jake about what the next step to be taken is.

“What’s it?” Jason requested, knowing something was up as he stood up.

“Yes!!!!!” Jake finally found out how…. It has kept him restless for the past few minutes trying to figure out how Otani was able to find them.

“Morse code!” He snapped his fingers loudly then turned to Jason, “a rabbit is in the lion’s den, leave it to me. Don’t worry . Chill while I and my men handle it!”

Jason whose adrenaline were already stimulated then calmed himself down. Jake could handle his enemies, little did he know that it was Otani, his only son. He even didn’t know Flora, his ex wife who birthed Otani for him was being held captive in that same hide out.

Then Jake left the large sitting room with his men, leaving Jason behind, of course not alone, he left two bodyguards to watch over him and ensure he doesn’t know or have a clue as to what was happening.

In a jiffy, Jake dislodged some of his men into the perimeters while some followed him from behind. They were obviously going to surround Otani and his men.

On his way, he realized how smart Flora was, most importantly he underestimated her intellect, and even that of her son. She used the Morse code to disclose, her whereabouts and Otani was even smart enough to have requested for a visual proof…..

The blinking Flora did… She was busy sending a message via the morse code method.

“He must have had some guts thinking he can discover one of my hide out and live to tell the story. He must be really foolish to think he can save his mother” Jake paused in his thoughts and then continued.

” I only asked for the silver ring in exchange but I guess he didn’t find the silver ring and he had to go the hard way… hmpphh indeed a fool!” He thought with a winners mentality.

On the other hand, Otani and his men already had the gut feeling Jake and his men already found out they’re coming.

With that, Otani devised a plan and ordered, “Two in group. Group 1, go left and monitor us for backup;. Group 2, cut off all surveillance and then go right; Group 3, Extraction team ; Group 4, with me, we’re going in straight up.

Surprised, Oman sputtered, “Sir, you are going in?”

Otani just glanced at him and responded, “This mission is very crucial. Any slight mistake will make it difficult to drag the entire chain out!”

His response was cold and like that of a god of war…. “He really doesn’t seem like a mere antique collector!” Oman thought.

Then Otani checked his wristwatch and gestured to his troops, “Move out!”

With that, everyone dispersed, merging silently into the jungle.

Meanwhile, At Sterling city military base, Mark had arrived at the parking garage to see Richarlison and some other officers dragging Danny out of the G-Wagon military car.

Mark was completely shocked when he saw him..

“Danny?” He called out, freezed in shock. He looked to be just a slight, a paler, new version of the Danny he knew, with thinning brown hair and the Blackthorn eyes, half-hidden behind spectacles.

“Danny” he called out again as he got closer.

“Mark, Please my family is in danger. I was warned to never show my face to you again! Now they’re gonna die! If they find out I showed my face to you!” Danny hastily freed himself from Richarlison’s grip and rushed to Mark in a confused annoyed tone.

Everyone was surprised when they heard him called the President General by his name. No one dares do that but yet? This seemingly ordinary dude….

Mark was not a fool, he quickly discerned something was at risk, still he popped the question. “What happened?”

“First, I need to get my family to safety!” He yelled , this time with an angry pathetic tone.

Mark could only obey at this point, so he turned to Richarlison and ordered, “ensure his family’s safety”

“Sure sir!” Richarlison saluted and kicked into action.

Mark then turned to meet his olds friend icy, almsot teary eyes, “Com’on let’s go inside ….

At Jungle district…

About eleven minutes later, the survey Camara fixated around where Otani’s group were got switched off, “Surveillance Camara down!” Group 2 leader reported.

Then Oman whispered, “Alright, we’re going in!”

Otani and his men soon got to the hideout, it took a lot of calculations and roaming around before they could figure and get to the hideout smoothly.

After a signal from the members of the group 1 hiding in the perimeters, Otani and his entered the premises skillfully and unoticed, with no mishaps. There were supposed to be guards around but no, absolutely no guard was active which sprayed oddness in the air.

The hideout was built like a human secret lair, didn’t exactly looked like cottage but in a way was. The main hideout was underneath. An underground building, the building before them was just to take everyone’s attention away.

When Otani, and his group arrived at the building, one of the room was still lit. Clearly, someone was in.

Then, Otani signalled someone opens the door. At that, Oman came picked up the lock. He worked so silently that no one or nothing was alarmed.

Oman was loaded with skills. Something like entering a locked space unoticed was just like a child’s play to him.

Click! The main door opened, and the group snuck into the building, following the light they saw outside to the study.

There was a gap between the door
