CHAPTER 151: I’LL DO MY BEST TO PROTECT YOU
She was upset that Caleb is now calling her after a week.
"Let's break up!" she yelled as soon as she answered the call.
"Come on Lisa, we both know that you don't mean that." then he chuckled.
"And you still have the guts to laugh huh? Just forget that you have a girlfriend and just focus on whatever you are doing there!"
"I'm sorry I was busy the whole week. But since Aisha and the others were already here, my workload won't be as hectic as before. I promise to call you often, okay?" Caleb tried to explain but he didn't hear any answer on the other line.
"Lisa, just a few more weeks then I'll be home, okay?" Caleb continued but then he heard the disconnected line tone.
"Eh? What is her problem?!" Caleb made a face. "Ah, why are girls so complicated!" he cried.
"I feel you bro." Hunter chuckled while fixing his stuffs. They had just arrived from their flight.
"Women are not complicated at all but guys like you will never understand." Sophie butt in. "Men like you should stay single forever. You don't deserve to be have women in your lives." She glared at the two while carrying her stuffs inside her room.
"Ouch. That's harsh." Shawn, who had just entered the house laughed. "Didn't you realize that she had cursed you just now?"
"Shawn! Welcome to the North!" Caleb gave him a brotherly hug. "Did something happen to my sister on your way here?" he whispered.
"Ask this guy." Shawn tapped Hunter shoulder.
"What did I do?" Hunter's eyes widened. "It's not my fault. That's just her normal personality." He whispered back.
"What are you guys talking?" they all jerked when they heard Aisha. She was carrying her luggage and was about to go inside the room where Sophie was. They will be sharing rooms for the meantime.
"Where just catching up with Caleb! ha-ha!" Shawn fake a laugh.
Aisha eyed them deviously.
"We'll just fix our stuffs. See you later." Hunter yelped as he run towards the men's room. then Shawn followed. "Me too."
"Eh? Am I that scary?" Aisha raised her brow.
"You don't know?" Caleb chuckled then he left.
Everyone was done fixing their things when they heard the doorbell ring. Everyone looked at each other questionably.
"Calm down everyone. That's the delivery man." Caleb uttered lazily when he saw everyone freaked. He went to open the door and took the two boxes of Pizza that he ordered then gave a large amount of tip to the delivery man.
"Snacks everyone!" he smiled from ear to ear. Then the others cooled down. how they thought that they were tracked down by their enemies.
As soon as Hunter was done setting his tools, he joined the others on the couch.
"So what's the plan?" Aisha asked Caleb.
"Why asked me? I thought you already have a plan?" Caleb waved his hand.
"Care to tell us the real deal?" Sophie delve. Aisha told them about the mission but not the whole details of it.
Caleb was about to start talking when Hunter's phone ring. He looked at the caller's id and sighed.
"Rikka." He answered the call after apologizing to the others.
"We have just arrived. Don't worry. yeah, I'm sorry I'm in a meeting. Talk to you later." Then he ended the call. Sophie knitted her brow but she tried to compose herself.
"Everyone----'' Caleb started but he paused again. He was interrupted by another ring. Everyone looked at hunter. Sophie got upset with the fact that the woman might be calling again.
"Can't you just tell your girlfriend to wait?! Or just go outside and talk to her all day. she's disturbing the whole team!" Sophie howled. They were staring at her in wonderment.
"I'm sorry. Let me just talk to my GIRLFRIEND in a bit. I think she's missing so much right now." he glared at the woman before he distanced himself to answer the call. after a few minutes, he came back.
"I'm good. Let's continue." He smiled but Sophie's face was about to explode. Nevertheless, Caleb started discussing the real situation to everyone.
"And this is the teddy bear that I got from their secret hideout. They are using them as carriers of illegal drugs like this one." He showed them the pill. "What we need to know right now are the following." He handed them a paper copy.
"Just as What Caleb stated earlier, we have to get the names of the people behind this. Also, we need to monitor all the manufacturing sites. We need to know how our products are being swap from the fake ones. Then lastly, we must get the names of their clients abroad. Only then can we alert the international drug bureau to arrest those drug traffickers." Aisha further the explanation.
"Okay. So when are we going to start the operation?" Shawn suddenly asked.
"Tonight." Caleb responded. "They usually do the operation at night."
"We will go in pairs, except for Caleb since he will continue watching their hideout." Aisha voiced. "Shawn and I will be watching the factory sites in West Shilan, while Sophie and Hunter will be monitoring the manufacturing sites in Mount Costa. Is everyone okay with that?"
"I'm okay with that, I just don't know with the others." Hunter smirked. He was actually messing with Sophie.
"I don't agree with the arrangement. I rather go with Shawn. I don't want to risk my life with someone who easily get distracted." Her tone was accusing.
"Is that really the main reason? Cause I think I'm professional enough to handle my personal life as well as my job." Hunter eyed her back. "Unlike someone I know." He continued.
"Are you perhaps trying to implore something Mr. professional Hunter?" Sophie doesn't have any plan to lose. Aisha, Shawn and Caleb can feel the tension between them. Neither of them wants to suffer defeat.
"I'm sorry Sophie but as much as I want to go with you, however, I was sent here by my master Ethan to watch over miss Aisha. he might kill me if he learns that I am not doing my assignment properly." Shawn tried to break the friction inside the room.
Sophie scowled at Shawn but Hunter laughed to his heart's content. "Don't worry Miss Ridgewood, I'll do my best to protect you. I won't let any bugs nor snakes near you." he teased her since he knows her weaknesses. Sophie might look like a strong woman without fear but the truth is, she's afraid of bugs and snakes. She always loses her cool whenever she encounters any of them.
Then Hunter grinned evilly when he thought of a plan.
