Chapter 255
Divo “Mr. Tristan, the drug lord is in Horington,” reported Felix as soon as he received the news. They had been going after that drug lord for quite some time. “Horington?” Why did the drug lord come to Horington? Didn’t he just make a mess in Anglandur a month ago? “Have our people get ready. We’ll return to Horington tonight.” “Mr. Tristan, are you going back to Horington to get that drug lord? Or are you doing so for Sophie?” Felix had already made the arrangements, but he couldn’t resist asking. “Is that important?”
There isn’t a conflict of interest, so why does the reason I’m going back matter at all? “No, not at all. I was just asking,” Felix said. “Are you two going?” Charles and Sean had always been uninterested in matters as such. They would usually keep watch in the base camp. “I don’t think so. There are a lot of things I have to take care of at home these days,” Charles said. Winter’s issue had yet to be resolved. She wouldn’t go to Alendor. “I have a few active cases, so I won’t be going either,” Sean said. Those cases were rather challenging, so he had to focus on them. “In that case, Mr. Tristan and I will be the only ones going, then.” Charles chuckled. “Why does Mr. Tristan look especially happy about it?
Is it because he’ll get to see Sophie soon? My gosh, it’s only been a day. Is it really necessary?” “Don’t you know? Love drives people crazy,” Felix teased. Tristan could not care less about them at all. None of that mattered to him. He couldn’t wait to fly to Sophie when he thought about how he’d get to see her in a gown. That night, at seven o’clock, Eustace led the SWAT team to meet up with a team of local police officers. They had been planning for a long time just to catch that notorious drug lord that night. Before they left, their leader gave them a final lecture. Danny complained, “Why is he talking so much? We have to leave and strike while the iron before the drug lord gets away again.”
Eustace gave Danny a look, and the latter immediately shut up. When their leader finished his speech, Eustace said to everyone, “Our target is a merciless killer, so everyone is to be extra careful. I hope that all twelve of us will return safely.” That was what Eustace wished for every mission. He wanted the missions to go smoothly without anyone getting hurt or injured. Unfortunately, that was rarely the case. “Don’t worry, Captain Sheppard. We’ll definitely be careful,” said a member of the special forces who was in his forties and was about to retire. He came from a family of farmers, so he was rather honest. “Okay. Let’s move out.” Meanwhile, Tristan and Felix had already got off the plane. “Mr. Tristan, should we call Sophie now?” They had arrived in Horington, so it was natural for Felix to assume that Tristan would want to call Sophie. “No. We’ll call her once this is over.”
