The Investigators, Inc. The Case of the Twin’s Friend. Chapter 9. Rescue!

Well, here we are at the prison, the electricity of off everywhere here and it is totally dark. And when I say it is dark, I mean, it is dark. Completely. Like, not being able to see anything except for stars overhead. And even those will be gone once we head inside. Right now we are waiting for an explosion which marks the guys part in beginning their pretend jail break. Some prisoners from Mauricio’s gang just might get free tonight too, which is fine.

Mauricio will likely need all the help he can get when Ramon attacks his gang later. The minutes keep ticking by. Why don’t we hear anything? Our timing should have been perfect. We don’t even hear the helicopters yet. I’m starting to sweat now. Those minutes are ticking by quickly. Where are they? I look at my watch. It must not be working.

I point to Dawn’s watch and she shows me. I guess my minutes are only seconds, 28 seconds to be precise. I’m too nervous I guess. I want this to be over and us on our way, with everyone safe. But is that reality? Suddenly there is a large explosion heard on the other side of the prison and the blast creates a gaping hole in the wall. That’s our cue and Sky opens the electric locking mechanism on the main doors. In we go and we don’t get far before we encounter the first group of guards not far ahead of us.

They pointed their flashlights at us, but Sky and Angel showed us something else they can do. They produced a bright glowing light aimed at the guards, much brighter than their flashlights and temporarily blinding the guards. They screamed and my girls jumped into action, fighting the guards and very quickly subduing them. We then kept running down the hall, having no trouble finding our way through that maze of hallways. We had the cats to follow! Including one big lion!

And on the tails of each cat was a blue light, not very bright and it only faced us. We tested these lights and they are perfect for such an operation. They are impossible to see ahead of the cats, only from behind. And we went over things with those cats numerous times so that they new exactly which way to go and which hallway to follow. Plus, they did so quickly! There were several locked doors that Sky needed to open for us, but she had no trouble doing that.

Then we came to one door, and Sky was about to open it, but Pacca called out, “NO!” It was louder than we were supposed to talk, but still not much above a whisper. However, she did have a good reason. Apparently there was a warning sign saying that the door was surrounded with explosives which would explode if the door was opened during an emergency time, such as this one. Now what?

Sky told everyone to move well back while she unlocked the door, but I said no. This door was mine. It led to the solitary confinement wing of the prison and Sky was needed more in there than I was. Sky did not like that idea, but I reminded her that I was Leader 1. “Stubborn male ghost!” she whispered loudly, then she went back to the others. “That’s telling him,” whispered Misty.

I got the door unlocked, but, it was followed by a powerful explosion! Everyone knows where we are now. I was thrown 10 feet backward by the blast and lay motionless on the floor. Kristina, who came back with Sky after Sky took Kat back home to try and help Mandi, said she would stay with me while the others continued to look for Visty. Sky told Dawn to stay as well, then they could watch both directions easily. Our search group split into two groups for better protection and off they went down the next hall.

As the first group walked past some cells, one of them opened and 5 guards came out and began to shoot. But then our second group shot at the guards. Our team is using silencers, but the guards are not, so when they began shooting it alerted other guards to our position. That meant they had to go past Kristina, Dawn and I, which could be a problem. More guards soon came running past our position and kept right on going, not seeing us.

“Good work Kristina,” whispered Dawn. “I didn’t do anything,” she whispered back. They both looked down at me. “Well, no one else was doing anything,” I whispered. “Are you okay?” asked Dawn. “Just a bit dizzy,” I whispered. “He’s okay,” they whispered together. I wonder what they meant by that? Anyway, I told Kristina to catch up with the others and I would stay here with Jennifer.

“Okay,” she whispered and she stood up to go. But she just stood there, then looked down at me, then got back down on her knees beside me. “Who am I?” she asked. “Kristina,” I said, frowning a bit. “Who is that?” she asked again, pointing to Dawn. “Jennifer,” I said, frowning a bit more, like I wasn’t sure what was going on. “Steve, I’m Dawn,” she whispered to me. “This is no time for games,” I said, “Kristina, get going please, Jennifer and I can look after ourselves.”

Dawn nodded to Kristina, so she left to find the others. It didn’t take long and she found two wounded girls, Sapphire and Monika, but they told her to keep going, so she did. It wasn’t long and she found three more, Abigail and Rochelle, with Cindy, one of our nurses, looking after them. Abigail and Rochelle were wounded worse than the first two. Kristina decided to stay with this group to help Cindy. Up ahead Sky and Angel were peeking into each cell, looking for Visty.

Finally they found a cell with a woman in it, but it wasn’t Visty. The next cell also had a woman in it, then an empty cell, then they found Visty in the next one. Sky decided they would take all three women out with them, so that is what they did. Arriving back with Cindy and her group, they found that Kristina and Cindy had put together two of our portable stretchers from the medical backpack that Cindy had, and four other girls carried them.

Then Kristina communicated with Sky what I had said about Dawn. “Seriously?” she asked. Kristina nodded affirmative. They soon arrived with the first two wounded girls. Kristina carried one and Angel carried the other. Misty was helping Visty who had been drugged and beaten. As we walked along one hallway, I suddenly stopped and told everyone I sensed trouble just ahead. We all stopped and Sky went ahead with Angel.

There was a lot of shooting from cells on either side of the girls. However, all that happened was the guards shot each other. Angel picked up Sapphire again and we continued our journey. It seemed like such a long time but in reality it was only minutes. But just as we arrived at the main door leading outside, another group of guards arrived behind us and began shooting.

I turned and tossed a large lightning ball at them, killing all 5 guards. But, 3 more of our girls were shot and wounded. Fortunately we were at the doors and opened them. Sherry and the other girls that stayed with the vehicles, came over to help right away. We didn’t have much time and soon we were driving quickly down the road and away from the prison! “Okay Fluffy,” said Sherry, “shortest way to the airport please!” “Me Fluffy, we get there quick as cat!”

    • Yep, and we didn’t even find out what the guys were doing, except for some explosions! Yes, a lot of wounded this time, so far none are dead. We do have Cindy, one of our nurses, along, but she can’t do much on her own. Hopefully she can keep people from bleeding to death. Once at our plane it has a fully equipped surgical room and Dr. Jorgenson will be there as well. That’s providing we can get the plane to land safely and take off again! We still have a long drive through the city to the airport as well. Ramon could have some traps for us along the way.🤔👩😼👻🦁🕵️‍♂️

  9. This prison break out wounded many of your girls. The enemy seemed to have greater fatalities. It is a miracle that you all got out alive. It seems like not only Visty was rescued but two others. Of course you are going to have to make it to the airport and that will be difficult. Ramon’s cartel is sure to ge attacking you.

    • It was supposed to be sunny here too with clouds showing up this evening, but they showed up this morning instead. Oh well.
      It’s getting more scary all the time around the world.

  13. Very true. But, he needs to know he can’t just take over other countries. He uses his nuclear weapons to bully the world. I don’t know how anyone can stop him without the chance of him using them.

    • Well, I don’t really think he’s stupid enough to use them, because the same thing would happen to their country. But, just saying he will use them scares everyone into submission. He’s smart. He has set several red lines before and had to back down each time. Besides, he has had 3 failed tests of his new ICBMs which is what they rely on now, so will any of them even work?🤔
      Well, time for bed, early morning for laundry. Talk again tomorrow!😃

    • Good morning Dusty! How’s things today? Good flying weather maybe? Just relaxing watching the squirrels? Heavy fog here this morning, now it’s cloudy with the sun trying to break through. And it’s 70 degrees! The leaves are really changing color now.

  15. Good morning Steve-o 😁
    How are things in the great white frozen waste lands of Southern Canadia?
    It’s been unreasonably warm here. Highs in the upper 80’s yesterday and again today!

    • We are in the mid 70s each day, but the humidity is very high too. A band of severe thunderstorms is expected to hit us later today and overnight. Then it starts to cool off again by mid week. I have missed you the last few days, hope all is well.😃🍂🍁

  16. Yes, I’m fine. I just had to have a talk with my daughter that was difficult for me. But, as I said before, I have to say no to her request. It leaves her in a tough spot, but she needs to figure it out. So, I was a bit emotionally spent. Sorry, I should have responded sooner.

    • That’s okay, I understand, some things are not easy to deal with, but have to be done. And things like that can drain us a lot.
      Whew, it’s getting hard to breathe in here with that humidity. I have to take my garbage out, will be back in a few minutes.

    • Wow, took me longer than I thought to take out the garbage. Met one of the onsite nurses on my way to the garbage room. I hadn’t seen her before, she just started working in our building. All those nurses are sure nice.😃

    • I’m back again, kind of fell asleep earlier, I was very tired but didn’t want to nap. But I did anyway. Sigh.
      Yeah, it is too bad but as they say in the old country, such is, such is.

    • Not really a great nap, I was woke up by a big thunderstorm with rain blowing in all the windows, so I had to get up quickly and close them. Rain even came in the bedroom window which is the first time since I have been living here.

  26. I went to a late afternoon dinner birthday for the widow of my friend who died two years ago. First time back to the restaurant where we all ate two days before he died. So it was kind of bittersweet, but we had fun.

    • Good for you! I’m sure his widow enjoyed the time out.
      Not quite so warm today, but that humidity is still bad, so it feels warmer. Supposed to get more severe thunderstorms later today and overnight.

    • That’s a good point. I haven’t seen any since I was in France 6 years ago. We don’t get them here, I don’t think. Yeah, and the winter forecast isn’t looking good for us, supposed to be a typical Canadian winter this year, which means cold and lots of snow and cold. Plus it will be cold too.🥶🙄

    • I have to admit, I never left the apartment today. Just didn’t feel like going out. I spent half a day sorting photos though. Did some reading, kinda lazed around, terrible really. I worked ahead on my story too. I’m kinda enjoying this case, it’s different than the other ones lately. Still not quite sure how it will turn out in the end though.
