“Alright, Richard has already found Amy, they should be on the way. We need to stall Matt a bit longer so that they can get away safely.” When Kingsley and the others met up, they already discovered Richard’s signal, so they felt at ease. All the efforts from these past few days were not in vain.
“That Matt is a cunning bastard; I’m sure he noticed the signal just now. He’ll definitely come up with counter-measures, so we need to distract him. Sorry, but you’ll have to be the one to stall him.” Andy was always at the ready to give Kingsley the hard task.
Kingsley had a stunned look on his face; what did Andy meant by giving him the short end of the stick? He looked at Andy, and Kevin could tell what Kingsley was thinking. He just looked at Kingsley with a smile.
Kingsley still couldn’t fathom the situation; he didn’t understand why these two men were smiling at him?
“What are you two planning? And why are you both smiling at me?” Kingsley felt a chill from the smiles on their faces.
“We’re here to rescue Amy, so we need a body double, that way, Matt won’t know who’s real and who’s not.” Andy noted that Kingsley still didn’t catch on, and his smile grew wider.
By this time, Kingsley caught on, and thought that he really needs to check on what kind of friends he associates himself with. Why did he have to be the one to impersonate Amy?
“Well, why not you two? Why me?” Kingsley crossed his arms across his chest.
“Of course, you won’t be the only one; I’ll pretend to be Amy too, but you and Andy will need to pretend to be Amy and Richard, and I’ll pretend to be Amy by myself. Anyway, the goal is to distract Matt for the two to get away. Oh, in 2 hours, we need to get away as well. Everything is hidden in your own hiding spots.”
Kevin discussed the plan, to which Kingsley and Andy both agreed.
Richard was injured, and Amy was a woman, so they need some time to make their getaway. The mission to stall for two hours would be crucial.
“Alright, let’s put the plans in motion.” The three separated and went on their way.
“Sir, we got word on Amy’s location.” As soon as Amy ran, word spread quickly to Matt’s ears, and he was pissed. He ordered that, other than Amy, anyone else that got in the way could be killed!
Matt rushed to the last known location of Amy’s whereabouts, but as soon as he got there, there was no trace.
“She shouldn’t be far; we heard lots of footsteps, but we didn’t catch sight of where they went.” Matt’s henchman reported.
Matt was furious; in this dimly lit place, it wasn’t going to be easy to find someone. Therefore, he ordered for all the searchlights on the island to be turned on.
This made things more challenging for the trio. With the searchlights on, the entire island lit up like daytime.
“They know we’ve ran away, what do we do now?” Amy suddenly got nervous when the lights came on.
