Chapter 4: Operation: Earn money and save Dad
The next day was a tiring one. I had to win the race so that I will earn the prize money and free my father. I was now in a black and blue jumpsuit with a matching helmet. Dastan and Tamina wished me good luck while Moe was worried about my welfare. "Sam, drive safely." He reminded me. "I know, Moe. I'll take care." I told him, "Don't worry about me." "Sam, guess what?" Moe asked me, "I like you." My eyes widened when Moe confessed his feelings to me. He stood up and leaned to kiss me on the lips. I didn't like it at first, but I returned it by hugging him back.
Moe hugged me too, but the Sheik called my attention. "Hey you! Make it quick." He yelled, "You will be late." I broke from Moe and moved on to the race to start my kart engines. "Ready, go!" Sheik Amar said, waving the black and white flag with a checkered pattern.
The race took long. It had three laps and I had to face bumpy roads. I had a hard time evading all the racers in order to reach first place. However, one of the participants turned out to be a ninja from Nizam's thugs. He pulled out a pistol to deflate my kart's tires, but I was able to avoid him by heading straight to the finish line once it reached the final lap. Finally, I won the race and received $10,000 as a prize for those who reached first place.
It took a long time to earn money to free my father. I joined street fights to earn $5,000 per bet and won game shows to earn a set of $1M. However, I was worried that something bad might happen to him. "Sam, where are you going?" Tamina asked me. "I'm going back to Nasaf Industries." "Why? It is too dangerous." She warned me. "I earned enough money to free my father. Trust me, I won't get hurt." I reassured her. Dastan and Moe tagged along with me as I headed off to Nasaf Industries.
"Is this Nasaf Industries?" Moe asked. "Yes, it is." I replied, "This is where my father worked. Moe, stay with Dastan while I save my father." "No. Sam, you might be killed or hurt." He warned me, "I don't want to lose you." "I have to-"I began as Moe cut me off with another kiss. "Take care, baby." He informed me.
We crept inside the company until I heard Nizam giving the workers a speech. It indicated that there should be double the work, double the taxes. However, the workers got upset about the policy he imposed on them. I pulled out a gun from my pocket to shoot Nizam, but it fell off my hand and landed on the ground.
I crept quietly past his ninjas until one of them stepped on my hand. "OUCH!" I yelled, grabbing their attention. "Why is there an intruder?" Nizam asked. "Sir, she snuck in." Zolm activated the alarm. Then, it sounded, "INTRUDER ALERT!" I decided to run away, but a group of guards grabbed me. "We got her." One guard informed Nizam. "All right. Lock her up in the basement." He ordered them. "Lemme go! You are so dead once I'll kick your ass!" I shouted. "That is what you get for meddling with our plans." The guard informed me. The guards tossed me into the cellar where they had my father tied and gagged up.
I sat beside my father who was tied and gagged up. "Dad, you're alive!" I yelled, "I didn't know you're here." I removed the tape from his mouth. "Sam, I'm glad you're here." My father greeted me as he pulled me into a hug. "I love you, Dad." I told him, "You would've been lost without me." "I know, sweetie." He reminded me, "I don't want to lose you like I lost your mother."
However, Nizam and his ninjas spotted us. "Sam, where's the money I asked from you?" he demanded. "Uh, it-it's not with me." I lied. "What do you mean it's not with you?" Nizam yelled, grabbing me by the shirt. He gripped my neck and pointed a gun to my cheek. "Let her go, Nizam, please." My father begged. "Oh, your precious little princess did not pay me the ransom money." Intimidated Nizam, "It's either she doesn't pay me or she takes the bullet."
More ninjas grabbed my father and pointed a katana to his neck. "If you don't pay us, your father's throat gets it." Zolm told me. "Let him go! Now!" I yelled as Nizam tightened my neck once more, but I felt a blow on my head. It was Zolm who knocked me out. Then, he put the dynamite with a timer around me by tying and gagging me up with duct tape, making Nizam point the gun to my head in an easier way.
Meanwhile, Moe, Tamina, and Dastan approached Garsiv and Tus in Nizam's office. "Where is Sam?" Garsiv asked Dastan. "They took her while she was planning to rescue her father." Dastan answered. "WHAT?" Garsiv yelled, "She's gone?" "No." came Moe's voice, "I mean yes. She was abducted by your uncle." Enraged, Garsiv grabbed Moe by the collar, pinning him to the ground. "YOU ARE BEHIND THIS AREN'T YOU?" he shouted at Moe. However, Tus pulled Garsiv off Moe and Tamina grabbed Moe.
"Moe is not with Nizam." Tamina informed Garsiv, "He just left when he knew about his true intentions about the company." "AND WHY WOULD THAT HASSANSSIN FALL IN LOVE WITH HER?" Garsiv ranted, "I WAS THE FIRST ONE!" "Garsiv, Sam doesn't like you because she prefers a guy who knows how to accept her for her." Tus calmed his younger brother's temper. "Let's save Sam before anything happens." Dastan told his brothers, Tamina, and Moe.
And so they got ready to save me and my father.
