Adopted Soldier

Alex got home and as planned his motorcycle was ready, and a maid carrying a briefcase and a bag was waiting for him.

"Did you inform my dad about the current situation?" Alex took the bag, and started to change his clothes in front of the maid without shame. He was still inside the premise of the mansion so no one but the maid could see him.

Alex had no shame as he removed his clothes, and put on the new ones prepared for him. The maid in question didn't have any reaction to it as well. She simply answered Alex's question while he was changing.

"Yes I have informed the Master about the current situation. He has given the young master the green light to use extreme lethal force. He also said if the young master wants, he can treat this like a rescue mission, plus an annihilation mission."

Alex was done changing and had double checked the equipment he was going to use. Before putting on his helmet Alex spoke, in a deep serious tone. "Roger that." After Alex said his acknowledgement he put on his helmet and darted off into the distance using his personal customized motorcycle.

...

In Carlo's room he was looking at his window, seeing Alex dash off in his bike, Carlo sighed. 'It seems like getting you to have a normal life is getting harder and harder... Still seeing you move without me giving you an order, and to actually worry about someone else, you surely are maturing... Still those people that kidnapped Evangeline Kain... Obviously someone is using them as pawns, making use of minor gangs, and having a few elites placed here and there. I wonder if this is related to that guy who claims, Berdonia is the greatest...'

Carlo started to think that the events that where happening was related to the incident awhile back. He didn't like the feeling he was getting, so he started to contact some of the more veteran mercs in his old unit.

...

Eva woke up in a dimly lit room, she didn't panic like a normal person would, instead the first thing she did was sigh. She then proceeded to check if she was able to move. It seems like the kidnappers didn't bother restraining her movements. Well it was not like she could do anything in her current situation even if she didn't have restraints.

Eva then proceeded to inspect the room she placed in. It was little room, with a barred window, a locked metal door, a dimly lit light and one chair. Aside from that there was nothing else in the room, it was actually unusually clean. Eva started to check if there was a way to bypass the barred window, but as she expected with only the few things in the room, there was no possible way to escape.

Eva then sat on the chair which was the only furniture in the room. She breathed deeply and exhaled, 'once again I've been kidnapped.'

'I wonder what those guys want with me? It doesn't seem like their the normal sort of thugs any of the rival companies will send to harass the family. This could also be a plot by Uncle, wanting to force my father to relinquish his position as patriarch... No that can't be it, my uncle isn't smart nor ruthless enough to hire someone to kidnap the baby of my driver, and threaten him. Hmm still that move does give rise to the question of security for the families of our employees.'

Eva started thinking of ways to improve the security for the families of their employees. Since Eva didn't know what the kidnappers want, nor can she escape, she decided it was more meaningful to think of future steps once she gets out.

Eva wasn't scared that she wouldn't be able to leave, since if the kidnappers wanted to kill her, they would've done so by now. But since they kept her alive, that must mean that they need something from her.

Eva has been trained by her family to deal with this kinds of situations, so no matter what Eva faced she wouldn't panic. The only time Eva ever panicked in a kidnapping situation was back then, when she first met Alex. The kidnappers back then where a terrorist group, and they didn't want anything from Eva, they simply used her as a human shield. Since they didn't want anything, Eva and her family was unable to negotiate with them. That situation was the first time Eva had seen people who didn't do things with logic at mind, they simply where doing things based on their feelings.

In her family most of the people moved based on logic, it didn't matter if they were part of the same family, to them everything was simply business. The only ones who truly cared about Eva were her father, mother, and her older cousin. Aside from those people everyone else was simply wearing facades.

Eva then started to reminisce on how she first met, Alex. Actually the situation she was in, seem kinda similar.

"I wonder if Alex noticed that I'm missing?... Heh, obviously he wouldn't notice. To Alex the only thing important to him is Rachel's safety. I'm nothing more than a person that he can easily forget... Still it would be great, if Alex storms in and rescues me, just like that one time... Who am I kidding, in truth... I guess that would be impossible."

Eva silently lamented that her first love, was in no way interested in her. Little did she know, that Alex who she thought couldn't be bother by her, was now actually racing towards her area now.

...

Alex finally reached the shoe factory, and was now at a neighboring building, observing the place using binoculars.

The images shown in the camera in his leather suite was being relayed to the surveillance team.

"So tell me, what do you know about this shoe factory?" Alex asked the maid in charge of communicating with him.

"The shoe factory is a simple cover up, and with access to all the information given by Mr. Luke, we now know that the factory is used for genetic experimentation."

'Genetic experimentation? What would this guys want with Eva?'

"So are there any civilians inside the factory?"

"There are none, young master. Everyone inside is either a mercenary, an assassin, or part of the local gangs."

"That's all I need to know, send me the layout of the building. I want to know every nook and cranny, of that building."

"Affirmative young master."

While Alex was waiting for the maids to send him the layout of the building, Alex started to hype himself up, like he used too back in the battlefield. Back then he did a certain ritual, before he started any dangerous mission.

'The mission objective is to rescue Evangeline Kain. I need to infiltrate the enemy building without being spotted, once the target has been acquired I can proceed to phase 2. Annihilate all enemy forces.'

He confirms the mission objectives, and tries to visualize himself doing it. This was one of the ways Alex used to do, to make him even more focused.

Right now the kidnappers are blissfully unaware of the danger that is coming.. Today these kidnappers will learn why Alex had gained the moniker 'Silent Flash.'
