Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

567 Drama on the High Seas

Hearing Emily's question, Jasper shook his head and said, "Perhaps she's the only one who knows why she did it. Night Eagle has always been mysterious, so I had to work hard to find out about this." Peace asked anxiously, "So what should we do now? Can we find Tammy and Gary? What will that crazy b***h do to Tammy?"

"Take it easy, dear," Karl said as he patted her shoulder

"I can't! Let's get Wayne and Anna back."

"No, that's not necessary. I don't believe they can help. After all, Isabella and I are Gary's parents, so we'll figure it out together," Jasper said

Isabella nodded, and she felt she had never been so desperate. Then she asked worriedly, "Then what can we do?"

"Since they are here in large numbers, I guess they must live around here. They won't stay in Birmingham, so the high seas should be the closest option," Jasper replied

Enlightened, Emily and Ryan stood up at the same time. "I'll go back to the Intelligence Bureau immediately and contact the marine police on the high seas to search for them," Emily said, grabbing her jacket

The next day, in the early morning hours, a warship was cruising on the high seas

"Captain, I got a message from the one-way transmission on the high seas," Emily's teammate said. After converting the video signal, he pressed the play button. Then Emily and Ryan stared intently at the

screen

"It's Tammy and Gary!" exclaimed Peace

That video was a surveillance video showing Tammy and Gary locked in a room. Tammy was walking irritably around the room while Gary sat in a chair. She would kick at the door and complain aloud every now and then. Tammy knocked the plates over whenever someone brought them food through the window

"Damn it! My aunt and uncle will turn this boat upside down if you don't let us out! I'll throw you into the sea and let the sharks eat you alive! Do you hear what I'm saying? Are you deaf? Do you not understand English?" Tammy continued to yell. At the same time, Gary gave her a resigned look

Emily was relieved to see that both children were fine. However, Peace was still as anxious and worried as ever. And she expressed her concern, asking, "What is Tammy doing? Isn't she afraid of pissing them off?"

Emily raised her hand and asked Peace to stop talking. Suddenly, the surveillance footage vanished, replaced by darkness. A few moments later, aman appeared on the screen and said, "Half an hour later, we'll turn on the signal receiver. But you can only save one of the two children. So, you'd

better make a smart decision." Right after the man finished his words, he turned off the camera

"What does he mean? Are we only allowed to save one child? I thought they only wanted Gary." Peace asked in puzzlement

"What should we do now, Captain?" Emily's teammate asked her

Peace reached out and grabbed Emily's shoulders, saying, "We must save Tammy! Isn't Gary the organization's successor? This lunatic won't even hurt Gary! Of course, we have to save Tammy." Seeing that Emily frowned and Ryan remained silent, Peace panicked

Afraid that Peace would do something irrational now that she was so emotional, Karl pulled Peace back. Then he analyzed, "I don't think the rescue will be so easy and smooth."

"That's right. Victoria is not going to be that nice to us. She only gave us a choice, but that doesn't mean that she would meet our demands

Even if we do make a decision, there is a chance that we will not get what we want," Jasper echoed

Taken aback, Peace asked, "What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying that she's not letting Tammy go?"

"Can you look into where the signal is coming from?" Instead of answering Peace, Emily asked her teammate

"I'm still looking for it. And the signal is too weak because they activated the shielding," One of her teammates replied

So many islands were in the sea, so finding a boat was difficult

At that moment, another teammate of Emily's shouted excitedly, "Captain! The first signal is approaching! I found them! They're not far from us." "Drive the ship at full speed and prepare a submarine for me," Emily ordered right away, "*We have to save the two kids without alerting Victoria Victoria has never wanted to give us a choice. She did it simply because she wanted to trick us. We need to be highly alert on this matter."

It was already dark when Ryan received a second reception signal twenty minutes after Emily boarded the submarine. Out of nervousness, Peace clutched Karl's wrist. Karl was in a lot of pain, but he didn't say anything

On the other side, in the midst of the mist, a submarine floated up in the vast ocean quietly. Emily soon left the submarine while dressed ina diving suit. After surfacing, she approached Victoria's boat slowly. And Emily quietly killed a mercenary on patrol with her knife after she went on deck

At the same time, Tammy and Gary were locked up in a room on the first floor. Looking at Tammy, Gary tried to persuade her, "Tammy, you should at least eat something. You'll get tired if you keep shouting like this."

"Well, I'll stop shouting. I'm exhausted, anyways. Damn! They wouldn't have caught me if I hadn't hurt my ankle! Who the hell are they? Do they think they're scary because they're wearing black masks?"

"I've seen these people in the Maldives," Gary said after hesitating for a short while

Tammy froze and asked with her eyes widened in astonishment, "They know you?!"

"Yeah. It probably has something to do with my father. Jasper and Isabella are my adopted parents. I know that," Gary said after a brief pause

"Don't be ridiculous! Why did they wait so long if they wanted to take you away at first? And why did they kidnap me if it was you that they were after? It doesn't make sense at all!" Tammy snapped "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble, Tammy. But rest assured; I will definitely protect you," Gary said

As Tammy flicked Gary's forehead, she said, "What are you talking about? We're family! My aunt and uncle are trying their best to us, and so are your parents."

Hearing that, Gary was lost in thought. Suddenly, a loud bang rang out from outside the cabin. Scared and alert, Tammy wrapped her arms

566 Drama on the High Seas od around Gary and patted him on the back, whispering, "Don't worry. I'm here."

The next second, someone kicked open the cabin door. It was a person wearing a black mercenary uniform but without a mask. And she smiled at the two children in the moonlight "Oh, Aunt Emily!" Upon seeing Emily, Tammy shouted happily

"Shh! Are you two okay?" Emily made a shush gesture and said to them in a low voice

Tammy quickly nodded her head

"Come on, let's get the hell out of here." With that, Emily dragged the dead mercenary in through the front door. Then she took his black robe and asked Tammy to put it on

"And what about Gary?" While getting herself dressed, Tammy asked

"I'll hide him in my robe." Emily said when she covered Tammy's face with a musk

Later, Emily walked to the deck with the kids. Their submarine was not far away, so they only needed to swim a short distance. From time to time, they would hear the sound of waves lapping at the cabin Suddenly, the zipping sound came over Emily's miniature intercom, "Captain!" But then, the sound was gone. Somehow, Emily had a feeling something was wrong. Just as she was wondering what to do next, she felt that someone was watching her in the dark. It turned out that there was a red dot on Emily's back. Apparently, someone was aiming a sniper at her

"Are you Emily Tyler?" asked a woman standing on the boat's second deck

Emily was surprised to see Victoria when she looked up. At that moment, Victoria stood on the deck like a ghost, looking at the three of them from above. And she asked condescendingly, "Did you just show up on my ship uninvited?"

"You kidnapped my family!"

"I'm on the high seas, so I can do whatever I want here. Gary is my nephew and part of my family. I don't think I've done anything wrong." Twitching her lips, Victoria said

Meanwhile, Tammy drew Gary close behind her, trying to protect her

And in the blink of an eye, Victoria aimed her gun at Tammy and warned her, "Don't move!"
