Indeed, Joe, Charlotte, and the others were now nearby.
Watching the mechanical insect settle on the sill of a dilapidated house and remain motionless, they knew the children must be inside. “I’ll go in and get the children,” Professor Campion said anxiously, but Jack held him back. Jack frowned, “The kids are still with them. If we rush in recklessly, they might use the children as hostages.” Professor Campion stopped immediately, taking a deep breath, “I was just too concerned.” “We might have to wait until late at night to sneak the children out and then catch those guys,” Professor Campion quickly realized. Garry and the others were completely unaware of the surveillance outside and hadn’t even prepared food for the three children. It was the woman who remembered the kids, tossing them some muffins and
warning, “You’re in our hands now. If you try to escape, I’ll break your legs and make you beg in the streets!” The three kids pretended to be terrified and clung to each other. Satisfied, the woman assumed they were scared witless and left, locking the door behind her. Once sure she was gone, Anna whispered to Ben, “Are Dad and Mom here?” Ben nodded, “Robotrack will lead Dad and Mom to us.” The confident appearance of Ben reassured Anna and Dennis, and they huddled closely together, waiting for their parents’ rescue Fortunately, Charlotte and Joe did not let the children down. As the night grew darker, Mandy quietly climbed up to the window and knocked on it gently.
Ben woke up instantly, while Anna shielded Dennis, all eyes on the window. “It’s me,” Mandy whispered, shining light on her face to show herself. Although her face might have looked eerie in the darkness, Ben and Anna quickly realized they were being rescued. Ben ran to the window, asking Mandy softly, “Mandy, are Dad and Mom here?” “Yeah,” Mandy nodded, “They are waiting downstairs. You guys step back a bit, and I’ll open the door.” The three of them obediently stepped back to the door, staring at the faint shadows in the darkness. Mandy quickly cut open half of a window with a laser knife and carefully handed it to Jack, who placed it beside him. Their movements were light, not alarming anyone in the room. Mandy gave them a wave. The three of them quickly moved forward. Mandy silently crawled into the room and handed out the children one by one. Gorya and Jack were on the side to receive them. The three adults moved in perfect coordination, and the three children also cooperated well. Despite some fear, they kept their eyes tightly closed and didn’t make a sound as they were handed out. Not until all three children were taken out did Mandy stretch her wrists and ankles, looking at the tightly locked door with an indifferent smile. Though the way was blocked, the human traffickers were not too anxious. They figured they could always find a way out as time passed. It was late at night, and they didn’t care about the three children, who had fallen deeply asleep. Bang! The room’s door was kicked open with one foot. Everyone in the room woke up, almost rolling onto the floor in fright.
Garry reacted the fastest, pulling out a knife from under the pillow. After exchanging a glance with the woman with him, he charged out. Just reaching the doorway, he saw several people blocking the entrance. The one at the front was an imposing man with indifferent eyebrows and eyes. He looked at him fleetingly, that gaze… it was like looking at a dead man.
