Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 321

While his head was wrapped in thoughts, the destination island came into view. Reiner had mixed feelings as he stared at the island that was his home from above. On one hand, he sort of missed the place and wanted to visit after being away for so long. On the other hand, he didn’t want to face the complications of his family and the never-ending demands of his father. A normal life wasn’t something that he had.

He rubbed the back of his neck and flexed his stiff shoulders before he started to prepare for landing. Reiner hoped that whatever he was transporting wasn’t fragile items because he didn’t think that the landing would be smooth.

After landing the plane, Reiner took a look at the phone that he was given for this mission. Now that the plane had landed in the correct designated location, he should be receiving a message on what to do next. Reiner stared at the phone screened as he wished that the instructions would say something along the lines of ‘just walk away’.

The phone vibrated, notifying that a text message had arrived. Reiner brows knitted together as he frowned at the text that he had just read.

‘Open the cargo,’

That was all the message said. Open the cargo and then what, Reiner thought in confusion.

“Is this some type of mistake?” Reiner spoke through the phone.

“I don’t know. I’m just following instructions,” the old man replied.

“I’m not opening the cargo. It’s not part of the job,” Reiner replied emotionlessly.

The weather felt too humid for his tastes, and he wondered if it was going to rain today. The small private airport where he had just landed was pretty much deserted safe for a few staff that manned the terminal. He felt irritated and couldn’t be bothered to deal with the old man’s or the client’s selfish demands.

“Open the goddamn cargo! Be a professional and complete your mission!” the old man shouted through the phone loudly.

Reiner moved the phone away from his ear and winced in annoyance. He just couldn’t understand the request. It was abnormal for a transporter to open the cargo. He sighed thinking that whoever was supposed to pick up the cargo could open it themselves. The suspicions he had when he took on this mission was quickly confirmed: this mission was a big pain in the ass.

“Ok…” Reiner mumbled before hanging up.

Reiner headed back to the plane. He stared at the door of the cargo section of the plane. That was when he realized that even the cargo had proper ventilation systems and air pressure control. A slight sense of dread filled him as he began to consider the possibility that the contents in the cargo was living. He closed his eyes and sighed again, he felt tired and didn’t want to deal with this. He wasn’t against animal trade because he knew that his job was just to transport.

However, he wasn’t looking forward to opening up a cargo filled with live animals. If someone from this island ordered it, then it wasn’t going to be a den full of cute looking little puppies, that’s for sure. Illegal or exotic animals were probably inside. Once again, he had no idea why he had to be the one to open the cargo. Reiner knew that thinking about it wasn’t going to do him any good. Better get this over and done with so that he can head back home.
