Chapter 46 Life-threatening
Elizabeth looked at Jasper's leaving back, feeling a little dumbfounded.
This man always said something inexplicable to her every time he came, and then left so hurriedly...
In fact, until now, she still didn't know his name, but she had already done something intimate with him that only happened between lovers.
Moreover, those things seemed to him to be accustomed to.
After the man left, Elizabeth picked up the drawing board on the floor and continued to stay in the rough room to make her own design.
Now, for her, work was more important than anything else.
An army green off-road vehicle followed behind a convoy of police cars that was whistling, and shuttled on the busy asphalt road.
In the car, Jasper put on body armor, holding a sniper rifle in his arms. When everything was ready, he took out Elizabeth's hair from his pocket, and quickly knitted it into a Celtic heart knot bracelet and put it on his left wrist.
He received news that a girl in the suburbs was kidnapped at gunpoint by criminals and needed their special forces to help rescue the hostage.
Every time, the task he received was dangerous, and the criminals were extremely vicious.
In the past, every time when he went on a mission, he didn’t have any worries.
Now, he had his beloved girl. He would cherish his life even more.
His comrade-in-arms, Paul, saw Jasper seemed to have something in his mind. Then Paul couldn't help but pat Jasper on the shoulder and asked jokingly, "You get too attached to her!"
"I think it's good." Jasper replied calmly.
The first encounter, a forced kiss, and a few simple conversations, then he fell in love with her desperately.
In fact, he never thought that he would have a beloved woman so soon.
Feelings were really incredible, which were so subtle that they couldn’t be described in words.
"Jasper, what do you see in her?" Paul asked with a smile. After all, a man who had never been close to women suddenly said that he had a beloved woman, which made Paul so curious. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Jasper frowned. He picked up the tablet. While checking the rescue plan, he changed the topic seriously, "This kind of plan is not good for the hostages!"
In the eastern outskirts of the city, there was an abandoned ruined building with a gray-cyan reinforced concrete frame, which was shockingly independent among a patch of weeds that were more than half a person tall.
Some of the weeds were already yellow. The wind was rustling. Suddenly, a white, unnamed bird fluttered from the grass, wailing like a ghost. It was horror and strange.
The stairs leading to the unfinished building had been blocked by the gangsters inside. The police could not go upstairs and could only surround it.
The hostage was Kyra Mitchell, the youngest daughter of the chairman of the Mitchell Group. The kidnappers demanded that Director Mitchell took 10 million to get his daughter back.
Because there were no other buildings around, the drones that were secretly sent to the building were shot down by the gangsters. They could not understand what was going on inside. However, through remote infrared detection, it could be determined that there were five gangsters inside.
After listening to the analysis of the female police officer around him, Jasper decided to climb into this unfinished building with bare hands.
All the police officers on the scene acted calmly, cautiously, and quickly. After all the preparations were made, the special forces obeyed Jasper’s command. They climbed in from the concrete pillars of the unfinished building with climbing ropes. After a while, they quietly climbed to the floor where the hostage was kidnapped.
There were only three men wearing black stockings on their head, with guns in their hands. They stood on the edge of stairs to watch the actions of the police downstairs. The other two men wearing black stockings and guns stood by the stairs.
Jasper reached Kyra who was tied to a pillar very safely, and made a silent gesture to Kyra in time.
The girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was still wearing school uniforms. Her slightly chubby face was stained with dust. Her two big eyes were clear, but were full of fear and helplessness.
When Jasper untied the rope on the girl and helped her to stand up, he discovered that a time bomb was still tied to her back.
Because of the girl's getting up just now, she pulled the timer on the time bomb.
When Jasper saw this, he immediately took out a sharp dagger from his pocket, and cut off the iron chain tied to the girl's waist. No matter how careful he was, he still alarmed the gangsters after all.
The comrades who came up together, led by Paul, provided cover for Jasper and started a gun battle with five criminals.
After Jasper cut off the bomb bag, he ran to the edge of the stairs at the fastest speed and threw the bomb bag into the air forcefully.
However, within a few tens of seconds, the bomb exploded in mid-air, "Boom!" A loud and earth- shaking noise hit to them. A strong shock wave struck everyone on the floor. Accompanied by the building shaking, thick smoke billowed in the sky.
When Jasper fell on the ground, he only felt rumbling in his ears. He couldn't hear any other sounds. However, he was sensitively aware that the floor slab clinging to him was vibrating.
Holy shit!
Jasper was the first to realize that something was wrong. He shouted, "Quickly evacuate here!"
However, in this instant, the building swayed more severely. The finely divided concrete rustled down, making the dust all over the house.
Jasper was closest to the girl. He subconsciously quickly got up from the ground, ran to the girl, carried the girl on his shoulders, went straight to the stairs, and ran upstairs.
Paul led the team, arrested the vicious criminals, and rushed behind Jasper with his comrades.
The sound of "Boom--" once again covered up all the sounds. The dust rolled, swallowing their figures in an instant.
No one knew whether they were alive or dead. The police outside could only watch the unfinished building, which collapsed into ruins in an instant.
On the LCD screens all over the street, real-time news was reporting the kidnapping and robbery bombings in the unfinished buildings in the eastern suburbs.
After Elizabeth left Lengs Group Building, she got on a bus. The mobile TV in the bus was also reporting this matter.
The scene was in chaos. There was a picture of a collapsed building on the screen. The dust raised a horrible shape of a skull shape in the air, making people panic.
Everyone was praying for the special forces that rescued the hostages.
Some old men on the bus began to pray, "God blesses them!"
When Elizabeth looked at the picture on the mobile TV, she inexplicably thought of that man. She felt a tingle pain from her heart suddenly, which made her feel like something rolling in her stomach.
