Chapter 265 Heist (2)
Chapter 265 Heist (2)
?
'I wonder where he disappeared to.' Olivia thought to herself.
To say the truth, she had been thinking about Jack since that night that he had given her the body strengthening pill. The strength that was surging in her body was enough to remind her about him.
It wasn't in a romantic way, but more due to the fact that he was stronger than anybody that she had ever seen before. She had previously made her father her Idol because he was stronger than any man she had ever seen before, other than in the cinemas and movies of course.
But when she came to see that Jack was strong, and not only him but even Celine, who was very strong as compared to her father, she had no choice but to change the idol figure.
She had been trying to use all the means that she could, to try and find him, by even asking around for those people who might have any information about him after she had gotten someone to draw Jack's image.
But in the end, she had not gotten any information. It was as if Jack did not exist at all. She had even tried using the CCTV cameras to try and track him around, to try and see if she could find him in any place in the city.
With the city full of CCTV cameras, she was sure that she was going to get him. But in the end, she didn't find him. It was as if he never appeared in front of a camera before.
But what Olivia didn't know was the fact that, Jack had already made preparations for that. He had already hacked into the security systems of the city in such a way that, the moment that he appeared in front of the camera, his image will not be shown.
This was of course an impossibility with the current level of technological skills. But to Jack, who had computer mastery, this was nothing to him. Just like the program that he had made for the anti-leukemia pills, he had also made a program in form of a virus that he had injected into all security systems in the city.
So, no matter if it was a private security camera or the public security cameras, they would not be able to record his actions.
The fact that Jack could not be found wasn't a great surprise to her. Since Jack had superhuman strength, if he had several means that could actually hide him from being detected would not be a surprise.
But she was getting frustrated at the fact that Jack was not being found. Although she was now strong, stronger than she ever was before, she didn't appreciate it.
The reason for this was that, she knew that although she was stronger physically, her skills were not good enough in front of a person like Jack.
The reason as to why she had been looking for him all along was so that, she could ask for his guidance. She was sure that as long as Jack gave her guidance, she would manage to rise to a new level.
Due to her frustrations about not being able to find Jack, she had decided to take on the assignment of escorting a prisoner to prison.
At least in this way, she could finally relax. Although this was actually the job of the prison police, with her father's influence, she had managed to get a position here.
While Olivia was thinking of other ways of finding Jack, Nathan on the other hand was looking at the three police officers who were flanking him on the sides and in front of him.
He smiled as he saw that they had finally reached near a forest. The prison that he was being taken to wasn't located inside the city, but outside.
"What are you smiling about old man?" Amongst the three police offices that were seated inside the cabin of the pickup alongside Nathan, looked at him as he questioned.
He was actually displaced with Nathan. Since he was amongst those who were in charge of taking him to prison, it was obvious that he knew the charges that Nathan was judged against.
He had joined the police force because he was a person who liked Justice the most. He had once faced injustice before and as a result, he had lost a family member, a person that he loved the most.
The ones that had actually done the deed were criminals. Since he hated them the most, and the only way that he could actually punish them was by being a police officer, he had joined them.
Since Nathan was no different from those that had actually been involved in the murder of his father, his only parent, no, Nathan was even worse than the people that were involved, he really hated him.
"What is it now? Am I not allowed to laugh again? Where is my freedom?" Nathan looked at him as he questioned sarcastically.
The young police officer looked at Nathan with anger clear in his eyes. In the end, since there was nothing that he could do about the situation, he simply snorted before saying, "What freedom do you deserve considering what you have done? You had all the freedom, but you had to look for a way that your freedom would be restricted."
"What restrictions are you talking about? I am about to get out of here in no time. So, you shouldn't be worried about me laughing, but you should be worried about what you're going to tell your superiors about the fact that you never took me to prison. "
This time, all the three police officers present couldn't help but frown while they looked at him. In the end, they thought that Nathan was simply trying to mess with them.
Considering that the convoy that was escorting him to prison consisted of 14 police officers. And each one of them was heavily armed, they didn't believe that there was actually a person who could actually rescue a person from them.
Although they were not present in the city, that didn't mean that the security had dwindled too much that people could actually sneak an attack on them.
Just as they were about to shut him up, a commotion suddenly rose behind them. Behind the car that was following behind the pickup, there was another vehicle that was charging towards them.
If this car was ordinary, there wouldn't be any problem at all. But the problem was that, the car was heavily armored. And from the windscreen, they could see that there were several people inside the car.
And each of them had a bulletproof armor on them. Their faces were covered by a mask. Just this alone was enough to make them suspicious.
Added with what Nathan had told them, it was enough for them to guess what was going to happen next. And true to their expectations, a gunshot was heard.
Bang!
What followed the gunshot was that, the car that was holding fort behind them, had one of its tires punctured. Since the car was moving at a high speed, it immediately lost control as it headed off the road.
Since they were in the middle of the forest, the car only stopped when it hit a tree. The intense force that the car hit the tree with, made the tree to almost be uprooted on the ground.
As for the car, the hood was immediately forced to bend inwards. This happening had immediately caused the driver and the police that was seated on the passenger seat to have their heads hitting on the dashboard of the car with immense force.
As for their condition as of that time, nobody knew. Since nobody came out of the car even after a while, it was obvious that they might have lost their consciousness due to the powerful impact.
The expressions of all the police officers who were on duty changed drastically. Each one of them immediately prepared for a fight. Since a gun was being used, it was obvious that they had to use whatever they had.
There was no way that they were going to allow a criminal like Nathan to escape. Just as they were planning on how to deal with the car that was following them behind, another car came from the front.
This made the expressions of the police officers to sink. As for Nathan, he was already laughing like a maniac. Since he knew that he was going to be rescued, then, he had to get excited because he was going to achieve his freedom soon.
And what was going to follow after that was obvious that, he was going to take his revenge on all of those that had landed him in the current situation that he was in.
Now, it didn't matter to him whether they were part of his family or not. Since they were against his interests, they had to be eliminated.
Olivia, who was seated in the front most car was immediately brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the gunshot. Her senses immediately heightened to the maximum level.
"Stop the car immediately! Don't give them a chance to shoot at the tires." Olivia shouted at the driver. At the same time, she hurriedly pulled out the pistol that she had with her.
Screech!
The tires of the car slid across the tarmac due to the emergency brakes that had been applied. The car suddenly turned to the side as it faced the forest. Luckily, It wasn't moving at a very high speed and it had managed to stop without rolling.
Without wasting a moment, using her high reflexes, Olivia dashed out of the car as she headed towards the car that was carrying the prisoner.
Her mission This time was to make sure that the prisoner reached the prison safely. Since she wasn't sure whether the people who were here were keen on rescuing him or killing him off, she had to ensure that none of them laid a hand on him.
