THE GANGSTERS MAIDEN - Chapter 48

Arriane: I’m sorry to disturb your reunion but I’m afraid we can’t stay here any longer. We need to go back to Mikhael’s camp and moved the elders, the kids, and the women out of there.

Mikhael’s face paled as heard Arriane’s words.

Mikhael: But where??? We have nowhere to go…

Arriane: where else??? That mountain cliff is the best place to move them. The terrorist from the other camp won’t bother to check this place anymore. When no one from his people returns, they would surely assume that someone came to rescue the captive and they will suspect that someone helps them. Since your camp is the only one and the nearest…. they will look for us there and vent their anger on your people.

Jarren: How can you be so sure about that??? and what are you doing here??? didn’t you know that this place is dangerous and full of bad men and a terrorist?

Arriane: Of course I know, I am very much aware of it. Arriane answered as she looks at the scattered dead bodies and helicopters debris.

Andrew scratches his head awkwardly. He felt embarrassed for his commander. He knows very well that Arriane the Rambo girl version is insulting his commander.

Jarren stared at Arriane, admiring her braveness and her blunt response to his question. No one ever answered him in that manner.

Arriane caught Jarren staring at her, she turned her back snubbing him and pretend to check the jeep behind her. She then strode towards one of the jeeps and called Andrew.

Arriane: see if this Jeep engine is still running, if it is still working then drive it back to the camp. We can use it to move the people from Mikhael’s camp back here. Also, check those vehicles too.

Andrew: There’s a helicopter hidden behind that mountain on the other side. I saw them flying one of the helicopters.

Arriane: We can’t use that helicopter right now. We might draw their attention. It’s better to keep it low, later you’ll have a use for it.

Now…. let’s get moving, we’re running out of time.

Arriane gets in the Jeep and drives it back to the camp. The other men check the other vehicles and followed Arriane back to the camp.

When they arrived, Mikhael told everyone about the bad news and everybody start packing their things. The elderly people, the children, and the women will be moving back to the mountain, where the Taliban terrorist groups used to camp.

Arriane: Andrew brings some men with you and drives them to the camp, make sure to cover your tracks and use the other route to go back here.

Andrew: yes ma’am!!! Andrew salutes Arriane as he urged the children to get in the Jeep.
