Chapter 4

(Please take it easy on my English skills. It is my second language.)

"What the hell do they think they are doing? Who the heck are they?" Carlos was watching the screen as the 3 waiters closed the door behind them. There was clearly a paper board of "Do not disturb" on the door of Ada's room.

"Waiters?" One of the mercenaries replied without thinking.

"Fool! Even it is room services, why 3 waiters? And entering after 2am?" Wolf looked at that dumb mercenary. "They are clearly up to something else."

"What did you say?" Carlos asked. "I can't hear you clearly. Take off that gas mask. You look ridiculous with that gas mask on while in that shirt."

"It was your idea," Wolf took off the mask. "You said we can't wear combat suit on a pleasure-ship where thousands tourists are walking around. There is still sleeping gas in those two rooms. We can't just walk in without the gas masks."

"Just repeat what you said," Carlos did not have the time for that.

"I said those 3 men are up to something. They are clearly not going in for room services." Wolf repeated and he put his gas mask back on.

"Obviously!" Carlos said. "I say we go in now."

"Agreed," Wolf replied.

"What's the hurry? Those 3 idiots must have been knocked out by the sleeping gas by now," said one of the mercenaries in gas mask.

"You don't get it, do you?" Wolf looked at him. "They could still have comrades somewhere."

"You three go into the guy's room! Wolf, me and Jack go to the girl's room." Carlos gave the orders. He did not trust Wolf enough to let him go out of his sight.

"You two report any 'incoming traffics' in the hall," Wolf ordered the two mercenaries who were supposed to keep eyes on the screens.

The door opened, 6 mercenaries rushed out with gas masks and regular shirts. They sneaked across the empty hall without making any noise. Every one of them was holding a silenced pistol. Six mercenaries were now in two groups in front of both Leon and Ada's doors.

Carlos put his ear against the door and listened for a few seconds "Nothing. They were knocked out for sure. Unlock the locks now, we have to hurry." He said in a very low voice in order not to be heard by the tourists in other rooms. Although it was really late, there were thousands of tourists on the ship. Any moment there could be someone who was too excited to sleep passing by.

One mercenary from each group quickly used a locker picking tool to open the doors. Both groups rushed into the rooms and immediately closed the doors behind them.

Inside Ada's room, all 3 men in waiters' uniform were lying unconsciously on the floor around Ada's bed. Ada was on her bed, unconscious too. Her dress was on the side exposing one of her beautiful legs.

"This chick is hot!" Jack said. He was apparently drilling.

"Damn HOT!" Wolf agreed and he really wanted to jump onto the top of Ada right now.

"Keep focus on the mission!" Carlos reminds the two horny men.

"Idiots!" Wolf laughed as he looked at the 3 unconscious drug rapists on the ground. Of course he did not know who they were yet.

"Check them first," Carlos started to search one of the drug rapists

"No weapon," Jack said. "Wait a minute. What is this for?"

Wolf took it into his hand from the other mercenary. It was a needle…

"This is…a drug that can knock out any person for up to 12 hours." Wolf replied

"So they want to knock out the girl for a long time," Carlos said "What are they up to…"

"They seem to be the real waiters of this ship." Wolf was holding one of the waiters' employee ID from one of the drug rapists.

"Sir!" A mercenary's voice from the radio. "2 more Waiters are coming from the deck. They will reach this hall in 1 minute or so if they don't change their route".

"Could be their comrades!" Wolf said to Carlos.

"Could be," Carlos replied. "Let's take these 3 men back to our room first. So the new ones won't find anything"

"Ok."

All 3 of them walked toward the 3 rapists on the floor. Each mercenary carried a rapist.

They quickly exited Ada's room and locked the door back on. Just 10 seconds later they were already back into their room and dumped the 3 unconscious rapists onto the floor.

"Restrain them and cover their eyes and mouths!" Wolf said to the 4 free mercenaries on the couch.

"Sir, they are coming." said the mercenary who was watching the hallway cameras.

On the screen, the 2 new waiters had arrived in front of Ada's room. They quietly opened the door with another key. After entering, they locked the door behind them.

"What is going on here?" Carlos felt strange.

"How would I know?" Wolf replied. "But let's find out soon, shall we? The sleeping gas should be gone by now. We can tailgate them."

"Good idea."

"Report! Find anything yet?" Carlos asked on the radio.

"No, sir!" One of the mercenaries who entered Leon's room answered on the radio. "This guy only has a suitcase of clothes. Nothing else. He doesn't even have his ID with him. What do we do with him?"

"Handcuff him. Cover his eyes and mouth, and bring him back to our room," Wolf said before Carlos could reply.

"Is it necessary?" Carlos said. "The girl is the one we are after."

"Whoever this guy is, he could be involved. Besides, if he is just a dumb boyfriend of hers, he would report her missing once he wakes up."

"Alright," Carlos knew Wolf was right. "Bring him back."

Inside Ada's room,

"Umm? I thought they were eager to do her first. Where did they go?" One of the rapists asked.

"Who cares? It's our lucky day!" The other rapist replied while touching Ada's gorgeous face.

"Let's give her a shot first, make sure she won't wake up until tomorrow noon." The first rapist took out a needle and pierced it into Ada's right arm.

The other rapist lifted up Ada's dress "Black panties!" He found it was amusing.

"Help me take her dress off," said the first rapist, and he was pulling off Ada's red dress.

"Nice!" said the rapist as helplessly unconscious Ada had only underwear left.

Two of them ripped off Ada's black underwear like two hungry beasts. Ada lied naked on the bed, unaware of the horrible thing that was about to happen to her. She has the Asian's hairless body with perfect skin, and every part of her was just perfect!

"Honey, we know you are HOT in that red dress. But you look even HOTTER this way!" one of the rapists made an evil laugh, "Me first. You lost the dice to me."

"Don't have to remind me…" The other rapist sighed. "Look at her! You are lucky to do her first!" And he sat down on the couch next to the bed while watching.

The first rapist pulled off his own pants, and he grabbed Ada's two beautiful long legs. He pulled her closer to the edge of the bed, putting her legs on his own shoulders, and he was leaning forward…

At that moment, suddenly the door was opened. Three gas masked men rushed in with silenced pistols in their hands.

"DON'T MOVE!" Wolf ordered the two rapists with a rough voice.

The rapist on the couch stood up but he froze right there standing with his hands up on both sides of his head as two of the pistols were pointed at him. The rapist who was about to enter Ada still had Ada's fine legs on his shoulders. He was still in the position of about to "invade" Ada's body, but he was frozen as well by the sudden intrusion.

"What the heck are you doing?" Carlos was stunned by what he saw.

"Shit! We are caught!" Both idiots thought those mercenaries were cops who just ambushed them.

"I…I haven't done anything to her yet!" The one held Ada's legs argued pointlessly. He believed he was lucky that he hadn't entered her yet, which would make him "attempt raping" instead of actual raping, as long as his buddies wouldn't confess their old crimes.

"So you like to spoil women?" Carlos said angrily "Put her down now!"

The idiot simply let go of Ada's fine legs and stood there with his pants below his knees.

"Pull your pants back on, now!"

The idiot complied.

Carlos punched him in the stomach really hard, and then he hit his head with the back of the pistol after the rapist bended down because of the stomach pain. The idiot fell onto the floor and passed out.

"On your knees, don't make a sound, or I will blow your head off!" Jack pointed his pistol at the other scared idiot. He nodded and obeyed.

"So tell us, will there be any more of your friends joining us?" Wolf asked "how many of you are there?"

"Total five of us. I don't know where the other 3 are, they should be here before us," The idiot was telling the truth because he thought telling the truth would make the "cops" take it easier on him.

"Tell us everything, now!" Carlos threatened as he was pointing his pistol against the idiot's forehead.

"We…we are just the waiters on this ship. We search for the most beautiful women among the tourists, and we drug them through the food, drinks we deliver," The idiot decided to confess everything because he believed the "cops" already knew, which was why they set up this "ambush" in the first place.

"Continue!" Carlos asked.

"We found this Asian chick extremely hot. So we decide to do her after drug her to sleep. We succeed in drugging her and her boyfriend. So we are about to…" He stopped for a second "to do what we planned to do."

"Was that moron telling the truth?" Carlos asked "He said he hasn't done anything to her yet,"

"Yes. He was about to when you interrupted."

"Enough," Carlos ordered.

And Jack hit the guy's head with the back of the pistol. The last idiot passed out too.

Wolf turned around to see Carlos. Carlos gently put Ada back into the middle of the bed, and covered her naked body with a blanket. "Oh god, she is like an angel!" Carlos thought. "Good thing we stopped that moron just in time!"

Turned around, Carlos told Jack to carry the first knocked-out idiot back to their own room, and he carried the second one himself.

The two of them brought the two idiots back to their own rooms,

"Do the same with these two" Carlos ordered.

The mercenaries in the room immediately understood that Carlos wanted them to restrain the two, and to cover their eyes and mouths like they did with the first three.

Carlos headed right back to Ada's room with Jack. As soon as Carlos stepped into the room with Jack and closed the door behind them, he saw Wolf had removed the blanket from Ada, and Wolf was touching Ada's beautiful naked body with his dirty hands.

"What are you doing?" Carlos questioned Wolf with a serious attitude.

"Isn't it obvious?" Wolf did not even turn his head back.

"Stop it!" Carlos urged.

"Are you gay?" Wolf replied as he was touching Ada's private part "Just look at her! Haven't you ever dreamed of making love with such beautiful chick? Now it is our chance!"

"No I am not gay. This is not making love! This is called taking advantage of an unconscious girl!" Carlos said angrily. "We are mercenaries! We fight to make a living. We are NOT low life rapists like the 5 idiots we just caught!" And he was getting louder. "Besides, there is no time to waste! We can be discovered if we don't get off this ship soon!"

"Alright…" Wolf stopped what he was doing and pulled his fingers out. He was not willingly to stop, but he knew the last sentence of Carlos was right. They must get off the ship as soon as possible, before morning persons among the tourists starting to get up. Little to Carlos' knowledge, Wolf had also taken a picture of Ada with his own cell phone when he was alone in the room.

"I'll go collect her stuff," Wolf said and started to collect Ada's belongings into her suitcase. "Bug detector, pistol, grappling gun, communicators…This girl is really something…"

Carlos quickly started to dress Ada back up, first the black panties, then the butterfly red dress, and finally the high heel shoes. "Even her feet are so cute!" He knew such super gorgeous girl could be very vulnerable at this drugged state. He knew he had to keep her in sight. After he finished dressing Ada, he carried her back to their room across the hall.

"Hurry up. Take everything," Carlos told Wolf on the radio.

Now inside the mercenaries' room, Leon and the 5 idiots were all lying on the carpet unconsciously, restrained, with eyes and mouths covered. Every mercenary was there except Wolf. Carlos gently put Ada onto the bed, and he sat down by her side.

"That's the one hit me in the face!" One of the mercenary said as he stood up. "Ah bitch! What are you going to do now?" He arrived at the side of the bed, and he extended his hand toward Ada.

"Stop it, and go back to where you were sitting, NOW!" Carlos caught his hand in the air and ordered him.

"I don't understand. Why can't we just have a little fun with her?" The mercenary argued.

"Taking advantage of a drugged girl?" Carlos questioned. "You are lower than I thought! We are mercenaries, not drug rapists like those idiots," Carlos pointed at the 5 unconscious morons on the ground.

"Fine." The mercenary was not very happy but he couldn't do anything because Carlos outranked him.

"Holy Shit!" All the mercenaries couldn't believe their eyes. This helpless sleeping beauty on the bed was the one who hijacked their package the other day after having knocked out 4 of their men single handedly within a few seconds. As a result, she had cost them $2 million loss in payment.

"Signal the boat to come get us," Carlos ordered one communication mercenary.

"Start packing," Carlos ordered the rest of the men.

"Hurry up. We are leaving soon," Carlos told Wolf on the radio.

"I will be there," Wolf replied.

Inside Ada's room, Wolf was checking Ada's communicators. He pressed a button on one of them to check the phone number list. Nothing he was familiar with. Then he checked the other. He rolled down the list. Then he saw something. A long number which had only 1 last digit different from the Russian contactor's number. The contractor was the one who hired them for the past 2 years including the mission they had just "failed."

He quickly wrote down the number on a bank note from Ada's wallet with Ada's pen and then he cleared this number on the phone.

When he put the little pen back into Ada's wallet, he saw a bank receipt.

"HOLY SHIT!" Wolf was stunned by the amount of money Ada had just deposited into her bank account. "This chick is richer than all of us combined! I wonder what kind of contracts she was in. Now I really want to know what's in the silver briefcase."

He looked down. There was an order of a secured locker on the bank receipt. The item listed on it was "One Silver briefcase." Wolf's eyes widened. He smiled for a second before he sliced it into his shirt pocket, and threw everything else into Ada's suitcase.

"Hurry up. Our boat is here," Carlos's voice on the radio

"I am coming," Wolf replied and he picked up the suitcase and walked out of the room.

Wolf walked into the mercenaries' operating room. Carlos and Carlos' men had already left with Leon and Ada. The remaining 5 mercenaries who were still packing in the room were all under his command.

"Sir, the boat is right below the left of the ship." One of his men reported.

"Ok," Wolf replied.

"Did Carlos say what to do with them?" Wolf shook his head at the 5 unconscious rapists on the ground.

"He said just leave them here."

"Dispose them. Just throw them into the sea," Wolf said coldly without even sounding like he was talking about killing people. "We can't let these morons talk about what has happened here once they wake up."

And he walked out of the room.

10 minutes later on the boat.

Wolf took out Ada's bank receipt and handed it to Carlos.

"What's this?" asked Carlos.

"The chick's bank receipt," Wolf replied. "Apparently, she had ordered a secured locker for 2 weeks. It seems that either herself or someone else is going to take the package out in just less than 2 weeks."

"I see," Carlos replied while he was reading the receipt.

"Look at the numbers! She got so much money, more than all of ours combined in this deal. It looks like the package IS worth much more than we expected!" Wolf said.

"It is a Swiss bank, a highly secured international bank in downtown, next to the City Hall, across the street of the central police station! There is no way to get the package from the bank." Carlos replied.

"Of course not. We will wait to see who is taking it out. The bank is open from 8am until 4pm Monday through Friday. I don't think it is that hard to watch the bank gate from outside for just less than 2 weeks. If anyone takes out the package, we can't miss it," Wolf suggested

"Good idea. Let me arrange this right now," Carlos took out his phone.

Sherry walked out of the plane into the Madrid international airport. She was carrying a small purse and a suitcase. Even though now her outfit was a little more serious than before, she still looked like a high school girl, a rich one though.

Beside her, there was a rich gentleman looking young man walking along side of her. Both of them were talking and laughing as they walked out of the airport.

"I'll see you around. Take care, Lauren!" The young man exchanged business cards with Sherry.

"Bye, Tom!" Sherry watched him get into a back seat of a fancy car.

"Miss Wesker?" A man in black approached Sherry "We've been waiting for you."

"Yes. Let's get going then," Sherry handed him her suitcase.

"Who was that guy?" The man in black asked cautiously.

"He was just someone who sat beside me on the plane all the way from the U.S." Sherry answered without paying much attention.

"What is he doing here?" The man continued to ask.

"He is a son of a banker who was sent here by his father for a business trip," Sherry replied. "He is only 3 years older than me."

"A rich boy eh?" The man did not stop. "You two seemed quite close, didn't you? I hope you don't fall for any rich playboys that easy."

"That's none of your business!" Sherry was annoyed. "You are out of the line, Mister."

"I am sorry, Miss Wesker! I am just being cautious. Our last team was completely wiped out," replied the man.

"It's ok. Just don't do that again!" Sherry was a forgiving person. "I had to sit on the god damned plane for 10 hours! It would have been boring if I had not talked with the people around me."

"I understand." The man nodded. He was about 40, old enough to be Sherry's father. And now Sherry was ordering him around. Life isn't fair.

Sherry followed him and got onto a Lincoln Limousine. She took a look around her. There were total 7 bodyguards in it.

"How many bodyguards did Mr. Wesker send?" Sherry asked as the car started to move.

"Total 15 of us. The remaining guards are securing the hotel area for you." One of the bodyguards answered.

It did not take long before they arrived at a fancy room of a 5-star hotel. Sherry went straight to the bed. It was almost 4am!

Around noon, Wolf and Carlos already returned to their mansion with the still unconscious Leon and Ada.

After carrying them into two separate rooms in the basement, they sat them on the chairs and restrained them by using 4 handcuffs to tie all their hands and feet onto a steel chair, and a 5th handcuff tied between the legs.

"Anything yet?" Carlos asked on radio.

"No, Sir! Nobody has walked out of the bank with the silver briefcase yet." A mercenary's voice replied on the radio. He was the one on duty watching the bank.

"Wake me up once they are awake. Make sure nobody touches the girl. Or I'll blow your heads off," Carlos told 4 of his men who were staying at the mansion while he was away on the ship. And then he headed straight to bed upstairs. He was too tired.

Wolf walked upstairs and locked himself into a room, and he made a call.

"This is Marianne Gibson. Who may I speaking to?" A woman's voice with Russian accent came from the other end.

"Miss Gibson, good day! I am Wolf," Wolf turned on the screen.

"Oh, Mr. Wolf. Is there something you want to tell me? We don't have another contract for you yet."

"You tell me about the last contract."

"I don't quite understand what you mean," Marianne replied "Didn't you say you had failed it?"

"Stop playing me for fool. You set us up! You had us to do the hard part for you, then you had someone steal the package from us! So you don't have to pay the other 2/3?"

"I am afraid you are way too paranoid, Mr. Wolf," Marianne replied. She really did not know anything at that point other than what her superior had told her.

"Like I said, stop insulting my intelligence!" Wolf said with a cold laugh. "Show this picture to your superior, whoever that might be. I am sure they know this girl we just captured. This is the one who stole our package right after our ambush on the targets you told us" Wolf sent the unconscious Ada's picture which he took earlier on the ship through the cell phone.

"By the way, there is a stored phone number on her phone which is only 1 digit different from yours," Wolf showed the phone number on the screen.

"I am sorry I don't reorganize her," Marianne told the truth as she was looking at Ada's picture.

From years of experience, Wolf believed this last sentence.

"I never asked you to identify her. Show the picture to your superior," Wolf cut the phone.

Half an hour later, Wolf's phone rang.

"Hello, this is Marianne."

"Yes?"

"Sorry about earlier, Mr. Wolf. I was not informed about the situation either until just moments ago. I am nothing more than a hired contractor. My superior decided to cut another deal with you."

"Eh? So what is your deal?" Wolf smiled at the screen.

"Release the girl unharmed, and we are going to pay you full as we agreed for your service," Marianne said.

"You gotten be kidding me! You tricked us, played us for fool, and now you only want to pay what we originally deserved? Not a chance!"

"How much do you have in mind then?"

"Pay us 3x of the agreed amount. Or you won't see this girl again!" Wolf was very experienced on making deals. He said in a convincing tone while his face looked totally serious.

"I am afraid that is way too much. How about 1.5x?"

"2.5x!"

"2x!"

"2x! Done deal!"

"Ok then, Mr. Wolf. The original agreement was to pay you 3 million US dollars. And we have already prepaid you 1/3 which was one million. Now we need to pay you 5 million more. Do you want cash or transfer payment?"

"Transfer payment, same account number."

"What about the girl?" Marianne asked.

"You'll have to trust us, right?" Wolf replied with a laugh. "We have never broken our contracts, have we?"

"No. You always kept your promises," Marianne replied.

"Then transfer the money first. We will release the girl right after," Wolf said. "If you have paid, we don't have a reason to keep her around any more. Besides, it was you who played us for fool. We still want to continue to do honest business with you."

"You are making this look like a kidnapping exchange hostage situation!" Marianne answered while shaking her head. "It is not up to me, I have to check with my superior again."

"You do that. I can wait." Wolf replied.

5 minutes later.

"My superior had agreed to transfer the money first, but if you do not keep your side of bargain, there will be consequences! You know we could trace your position from the phone call. Even as you are using a secured method which was exactly designed to avoid being traced, we know how to find you!" And Marianne mentioned an address which was exactly the mansion where Wolf was at. Then she continued, "Oh, and my superior wants to talk to the girl right now!"

"Impressive!" Wolf now learned that Marianne was not bluffing. Whoever hired them had the means to reach them easily. "But I am afraid she is not available at this moment. She is still unconscious. You do the transfer right now, or she is a goner. And you know I mean business. Transfer the money. She will be free as soon as she is awake," Wolf replied in a serious voice.

There must be someone next to Marianne and that person must have nodded to Marianne.

"Done," Marianne said, "You can check your account momentarily."

"Then the girl will be released as soon as she can walk on her own. Call us again when you need services." Wolf cut the phone. He was pleased with the result. He got. $5,000,000 extra money now and it was on his account. There was no need to share this amount with his men. It could take him another 20 years to make this much money if he kept distributing the profit equally with Carlos around. He decided to run away and keep the $5 million all for himself. After checking the bank account online, Wolf was satisfied.

Not wasting a moment, Wolf walked downstairs with just a small bag.

"Tell Carlos I won't be back until tomorrow morning." Wolf told one of the mercenaries who were on the duty of guarding downstairs as he walked out

"Yes, Sir."

As Wolf got onto his car and left the mansion, he had another evil laugh. "That was the last time you saw me, Carlos! Good luck to make this amount of money for every one of your men! Oh, and good luck on dealing with our employer, whoever that might be. They will be very angry soon! And they know our…No. I mean your location!"
