Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2780

As Leroy coughed, tears streamed down. Gordan chuckled. "This cigarette is strong, but it really wakes you up. Don't smoke too much, or you'll get addicted to it. Once you try other cigarettes, you won't be able to get used to it anymore."

His smile faded after that.

He remembered how Vivian had bought him this brand of cigarettes as he had always looked for excuses to make her angry.

He even got angry when the cigarettes he smoked did not taste good enough.

A few days later, Vivian handed him this particular brand of cigarettes.

She told him that it had a cool taste that most people could not handle, and some could not even tolerate it.

Gordan tried smoking the cigarette.

He initially found it difficult to smoke. However, the look on Vivian’s face when she thought he would not be able to handle it compelled him to keep smoking it until he became accustomed to it.

He was hooked after smoking a few packs of cigarettes. Other cigarettes tasted bland when compared to it.

He would rather not smoke if it was not this particular brand of cigarettes. He realized that this was Vivian's trap to keep him by her side.

"It's hard to get used to it. But it really wakes you up," said Leroy as he took a few puffs before putting out the cigarette.

Gordan clicked his tongue and said, "What a waste."

Leroy urged him, "Come on. It's almost time."

Gordan took two more puffs before putting out his cigarette. Then, he slowly walked to the window. He checked with his equipment and saw that they were in their respective places. They were asleep and had not moved.

He put on his bulletproof vest and equipped himself with his weapons.

Leroy and another man also equipped themselves while Gordan checked in with the walkie-talkie.

"Mic check. Are you guys ready?" Gordan asked through the walkie-talkie.

The operation involved not only the three of them but also two others who were in nearby villages. There were five of them in total involved in Pierre’s rescue operation.

"Loud and clear. Affirmative," replied the other two men.

Gordan gestured to Leroy, and the three of them walked out the door.

They followed the planned route and went up to the room next to Pierre's, planning to jump over from the balcony.

Land in suburban areas like this that were near A City was cheap. Many people who found A City's rental fees expensive chose to live here and spend an extra two hours commuting each day to save money.

As a result, the houses were densely packed with the floors of each house being relatively close together. An adult man could easily jump from one balcony to another.

As long as the height was similar and both houses had balconies…

The house next to Pierre's was at the same height and had a balcony. They planned to jump from there to the other side.

Then, they would unlock the door from the outside.

Gordan chose to enter from the balcony because the balcony door of the room where Pierre was being held was the same as the door on the first floor.

It could be unlocked from the outside.

That way, it would be more convenient for them to break into the house.

Gordan easily broke into the next-door house. The five of them were swift and nimble. They unlocked the door and climbed the stairs without disturbing the residents inside the house.

Everything went smoothly as they arrived at the balcony on the third floor.

The lock on this house's door could be easily opened from the inside. Gordan easily unlocked the door using the light of the flashlight. Then, he walked to the balcony.

Leroy followed behind him, and the other men followed suit.

The last person to enter did not close the door but chose to prop it open with a chair.

This balcony door was different from the one next door. It could only be opened from the inside. If it was closed, it would be difficult to open from outside.
