Chapter 18 His Idea
Raven took a deep breath, knowing she had to put her feelings aside and focus on the task at hand. Saving her father was the most important thing, and she knew that Alfredo’s skills and knowledge could be invaluable in the rescue mission.
She would just have to be vigilant, and not let herself be blinded by her own emotions.
“Let’s do this,” she said, steeling herself for the challenge ahead.
Alfredo nodded, his face set in a determined expression. They would need to work together if they had any hope of defeating Ramos and saving her father.
“Our first step is to learn everything we can about Ramos’ operation,” Raven said, trying to put on her best business-like demeanor.
“We need to find out where he’s keeping my father, and what kind of security he has in place. Can you help me with that?”
“Of course,” Alfredo replied, his brow furrowed in concentration.
“I have a few contacts who might be able to help. I can reach out to them and see what we can find out. In the meantime, we should also start planning our rescue mission.
“We need to consider every possible angle,” Raven said, her mind racing. “We need to figure out where the most likely point of entry is, and what kind of security we’ll be up against. Do you have any ideas?”
Alfredo nodded. “I think we should start by studying the layout of Ramos’ compound,” he said.
“We need to find any weak spots, any places where we might be able to gain access.
We also need to know what kind of personnel he has guarding the place. Are they mercenaries, or just regular guards?”
“There’s also the question of whether we can turn any of his guards to our side,” Raven added, her mind whirling with possibilities.
“If we could get someone on the inside, it would make our job a lot easier. Do you think that’s possible?”
Alfredo considered this for a moment. “It’s certainly worth exploring,” he said.
“We just need to be very careful in our approach, so we don’t end up tipping off Ramos. He’s a very dangerous man, and we don’t want to give him any reason to suspect that we’re onto him.”
“I agree,” Raven said, a determined look in her eyes. “We have to be smart about this, and not make any moves until we’re absolutely sure they’ll work. The stakes are too high to risk making a mistake.”
Alfredo gave her a solemn nod. “We’re up against a powerful enemy,” he said. “But if we’re careful and methodical, I think we can pull this off. Your father’s life is at stake, and we can’t afford to lose.”
“I have a better idea,” the voice said, and they turned to see Alfonso Sanchez standing behind us. He was a cocky young man, always eager to prove himself.
“What is it?” I asked, my tone wary. I never trusted his ideas, they always seemed too reckless and dangerous.
“We should just send Ramos pictures of his bride’s bloody face,” Alfonso said, a twisted grin on his face. “We’ll threaten him that if he doesn’t release your father, we’ll kill her and dump her body in front of his estate. How’s that for an idea?”
Raven’s stomach churned at Alfonso’s suggestion. She knew he was trying to be helpful, but this was not the way to go about it.
“We’re not going to endanger Raven’s life just to get revenge,” Alfredo said, his voice firm.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“That’s not the right way to do things.”
“We have to do this the right way, without resorting to violence,” he said. “There must be another way to get Raven’s father back.”
Alfonso scoffed. “Your way is too slow, and it’s not getting results,” he said. ”
“We are not doing that Alfonso.” Alfredo said.
“We are not going to endanger her life because we want revenge. This isnt the way we should do things.” He said.
“To hell with your way of doing things Alfredo. Your ways suck. My way is better.” Alfonso said.
“Even if it’s taking longer than we’d like, we can’t just go around killing people,” Alfredo said, feeling a sense of frustration rising within him.
“There must be another way. Maybe we could try to reason with Ramos, or find a way to sneak into his estate and free your father.”
“Reason with him? Are you in sane Alfredo? Ramos isn’t someone one can reason with not after what he did! And you of all people should know that he isn’t someone who uses his head, but his gun!” Alfonso said in anger.
Raven could sense hostility from Alfonso
