Richard couldn’t resist turning Shirley’s down. Still, he had to set some ground rules as he spoke sternly, “Fine, on two conditions. Once we’re there, you are not to leave my sight and will stay close to the team.”
“Understood, Mr. Lloyd.” Shirley immediately transformed into one of her father’s subordinates and saluted.
Richard and his daughter boarded the helicopter. A complete set of gear was immediately provided to her, and she wasted no time putting it on. At this moment, she wished desperately that she could teleport herself to that island.
As they approached the island, the flashes of explosions became more visible and audible. There was no doubt that the battle was a difficult one, and everyone involved had no intention of leaving until the other was pronounced dead on the battlefield. Besides, they had heard through credible sources that the opposing side had hired several mercenaries to the island to engage in a gunfight with Zacharias’ men.
Richard hadn’t anticipated this audacity from the prey that dared to confront Zacharias’ people. So, he was thankful he had listened to Shirley’s suggestion to make this trip. Otherwise, how could he tell his beloved daughter that something awful had happened to Zacharias?
So, he accompanied his daughter to rescue Zacharias.
“Dad, please be careful too.” Shirley worried not only about Zacharias but also about Richard.
“Nixon, take Shirley and take this road.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lloyd! Leave it to me. I’ll make sure Miss Lloyd stays safe.”
Shirley glanced at her phone and was just about to send a message to Zacharias when she realized that there was no signal on the island.
She immediately turned to Richard and informed him, intoning seriously, “Dad, the communication here has been intercepted and cut off. This place has become a complete warzone.”
Richard immediately whisked out his phone and attempted to use satellite signals. Alas, all his efforts were futile, as the results only confirmed his daughter’s speculations. Hence, he quickly understood that they had all underestimated the adversaries Zacharias was battling against.
The opposing force had somehow managed to control the entire island and had established a powerful signal jamming field that disrupted all communications.
“Shirley, be careful. Stick with Nixon and the others. Don’t venture out alone.”
“Okay. I’ll find Zacharias. We’ll rendezvous at this drop site once I do,” Shirley said as Richard was heading toward the side where the gunfight was going strong.
