Cold-blooded island ~ 7:30pm
Cara was still unconscious though she was able to breathe again but, she was unconscious due to the injection that she was given again which made her fall asleep soon. Ms Erica gave her the injection because she didn't want any disturbance to occur as soon as she wakes up. Xavier was excited to see Cara breathing, the sight of her chest rising and falling gave him more than hopes of sharing more happiest memories with her. He looked at Cara's face and joyful tears dropped from his eyes. He didn't think on what to say when she wakes up... what he knew was that, she was alive again. He rubbed his tears away using his palms and finally faced Ms Erica who was just staring at his actions which exposed his feelings towards Cara.
" You just love her so much cause everything that you do exposes your feelings" Ms Erica said with a slight smile.
" Uhm...I guess after thirty minutes four bodyguards will bring a van and a coffin for Cara, I talked to Mr Hutchinson about her burial and he told me to do what I want."
" Decided to shift the topic ?" Ms Erica replied while raising her left eyebrow
Xavier exhaled then continued
" It will be the time for us to get out of here together."
" How can I escape that easily. I'm inside the lion's den in case you have forgotten"
" Afraid to choke on your own blood?"
Ms Erica glared at him and replied
" That wasn't funny at all" Xavier sighed and carried on
" Well... Here's the plan, I'll let the guards place the coffin properly and after everything, I will just tell them that I can finish the rest since I don't want them to know that Cara is alive"
" Then what's next ?"
" From what I have seen, this building ( Mr Hutchinson's office) has like 7 bodyguards...and , when I went to hide that oxygen tank, I saw the main switch there."
" Cut all the crap and tell me the fucking plan"
" I will just tamper with the electrical system a bit which can give you approximately seven minutes until the fault is corrected "
" Then those seven minutes are enough for me to get inside the van and hide myself"
" Yes ma'am! And... don't forget to take all the medical wastes with you. All the vials, syringes gauzes and all the stuffs."
" Then what about Cara ? "
" I'll take her with me after the bodyguards disappear and....after lying to the remaining seven bodyguards that Mr Hutchinson has called for them..." He paused for a while before continuing
" So those seven minutes should be carefully used. I expect you to know that within those seven minutes the bodyguards will be coming back, you must move carefully around the CCTV cameras and just to remind you.... you are the precious jewelry that they are looking for"
Ms Erica smiled a bit and asked " aren't you afraid that... By that small lie you can increase the chances of so many doubts from Hutchinson? "
" I'll know how to deal with the consequences later... right now I'm focusing on how to get all of us out of here safe and sound." He paused and added
" And by the way... doubts MUST be there, from how I'm gonna handle Cara's burial, faults in the electrical system and so on "
Ms Erica rolled her eyes and was like
" Whatever...I just want to get out of here and find my daughter, that's all"
" Whatever happens... you must not kill anyone and Don't initiate any fight. "
8:10pm
Xavier looked at the guards who were busy carrying the coffin inside the van, he finally spoke to them
" You can just leave....I can finish the rest on my own"
" But the boss told us to help you with everything"
" Then from what I said clearly states that I don't need your damn help!" He spoke angrily almost shouting at them. He calmed down after recognizing his tone, he then spoke
" Just get out of my sight please! I can do everything alone and by the way... Cara was so special to me to the extent that I don't feel good when any of your wrecked skins dare to touch her's "
" We are sorry Sir." One of the bodyguards replied then commanded the rest of the crew to move
" And... The boss told me that he needs all the guards at his basement now. It's concerning Ms Erica's issue"
All the bodyguards followed what Xavier had instructed them and headed towards Mr Hutchinson's basement area. The plan went smoothly and he succeeded to put Cara inside the van and tamper with the electrical system. He had returned inside the van and only found Cara still unconscious.
" What the heck? Where is she?" He whispered and got out of the van. From afar he was able to see Ms Erica coming outside the building, she had disguised herself as one of the bodyguards, she was quickening her pace after seeing Xavier. But someone else called her from behind
" Hey You! Stop"
Ms Erica stood still, her body froze and her breath kept shaking, she tried to take another pace and heard
" I told you to stop!" She stood still and the other bodyguard spoke
" Who are you? Are you a new kid here?"
Xavier replied
" It's a shame that you don't know your fellow colleagues...and instead of finding out why the power had gone off... you are busy talking to your fellow bodyguard?" The other bodyguard bowed and replied
" I'm sorry sir... I'll go and check on the electrical system now"
Xavier smirked and spoke " then what are you waiting for? C'mon move your damn ass!" Xavier turned towards Ms Erica and shouted
" And you... come with me to the van, I need you to help me with something"
That was how Ms Erica was rescued from Mr Hutchinson's empire. Ms Erica escaped together with Xavier and managed to reach Manilla safely. She agreed to stay and synthesize the red injection( The chemical formula for stopping Cara's craving for blood). Xavier took Cara and Ms Erica to his secret mansion in sebou as their hideout. Xavier returned to the Philippines and decided to take a vacation ( a one month vacation) for grieving as an excuse, he then went to see Cara for the first time in her another form of life.
