Chapter 254: Something Fishy, Strategy?
Jaden was left speechless on the day that the mission was
supposed to be carried out. After all those days of discussions, it was
determined that one group of the police would attack from one side, while the other
would attack from the opposite direction.
Then, when they reached the area where the gangsters were,
they would simply surround the place, and start attacking. They would take in
the gangsters that would surrender, and kill any that was trying to shoot.
Jaden could only shake his head at how stupid this idea was.
But, he did not say anything to change their minds. In any case, he was not
going to make them change the decision that they had already made in this
'strategy' of theirs.
With this, Jaden's decision to not team up with anybody
solidified. He would definitely not join this group of people that did not want
to use any plan, in order to deal with this group of gangsters.
Did they not understand that if they spread out too much,
they might end up being killed easily? It was better for them to come from one
direction first, while blocking the other. One group would judge in first,
while the other one would wait.
At least, that was a lot better strategy, rather than just
directly attacking. Simply put, the police were intending to attack the villa
that was said to be hosting the gangsters at this moment directly, without the
intention of hiding at all.
The thing that Jaden found ridiculous was the fact that they
knew where the gangsters were, but somehow, the gangsters kept on remaining
there.
Did these people not find that there was something
suspicious? After all, those gangsters would have definitely tried to escape,
even though they were being blocked, being prevented from leaving the city.
But at least, it was better for them to try and escape,
rather than waiting there, for the police to come and attack them. As for
surrendering to the police, considering that they had not done so until this
day, it was impossible for them to do that anyway.
Jaden also received a gun. This was due to the arrangement
that was made by Angela. She understood that Jaden did not have the certificate
of owning a gun. Still, she used the influence that she possessed in the
police, in order to ensure that Jaden was allowed to use a gun.
Jaden looked at the gun in his hand. During his free time,
he had studied a little about guns, and the one that he was having right now
was a Glock 22 pistol.
It usually had 15 rounds of 9 mm bullets. The effective
range of this gun was about 55 yards, and the recoil was quite moderate.
It was the reliable type of gun, instead of the most lethal.
But still, Jaden was quite satisfied with having a gun of his own during the
mission. In case he was not going to receive a gun from the police, he had
initially planned to ask Clifford for that.
It was not impossible for Clifford to arrange for him to get
a gun. Even though he had yet to get the license of having a gun, still, he
could use it, as long as he was not caught.
Well, it might be ironic to expect that he would not be
caught when he was going to work with the police, but still, Jaden did not
think that the police would cause him much trouble. After all, he was using the
gun to help them, instead of against the law.
Well, Jaden was the only one that was currently having only
a Glock 22 pistol. As for the others, not only did they have pistols, they also
had AK-47s and shotguns.
Of course, these guns were given to them simply because of
the mission that they were going to deal with. Otherwise, they would only be
having pistols.
Jaden was quite curious about the other guns. He wanted to
hold them, and try them out, but it was a pity that he would not be allowed to
touch them. So, he could simply look at them with a little envy in his eyes.
A little while later, after all the arrangements have been
made, Jaden got inside the same police car as Christopher and Angela. Other
than the two of them, there was another young man, who was also part of the
team that was going out for the mission.
He looked a little nervous, which was to be expected. After
all, they were going to fight with a group of gangsters that would definitely
not mind having an exchange of fire with them. In that situation, it was
inevitable that some of the police officers might end up being injured, and
some might even end up being killed.
Still, this was all part of the duty of the police officers.
Even though they were not like the military who would most of the time engage
in war, during the times of war, but only occasionally do that when dealing
with criminals that somehow had gotten their hands on guns, still, they would
have to deal with it at some point in time.
The driver was Christopher. As he was driving, he kept on
glancing at Jaden through the rear view mirror. Of course, he did not trust
Angela with asking Jaden to come over to help.
To him, Jaden was simply putting himself in danger for
nothing. It would have been better if he had just continued with his own life
without putting himself at risk. After all, it was not his duty to get involved
in something like this.
But what could he do? It was not as if he had not tried
convincing Jaden to give up. But this young man was quite hot blooded, as he
refused.
Additionally, Christopher could not try convincing Jaden
brazenly. After all, if he did that, he would definitely be going against
Angela, which was something that he did not want considering the background
that she possessed.
Silence dominated the car as they headed towards the
destination. Still coming there was one thing that made Jaden feel that the
police department in this city was helpless.
They were going to deal with gangsters, and they had put the
sirens on. That was to imply that they were informing gangsters that they were
coming for them. So, the gangsters would have time to prepare themselves from
the moment that they would begin hearing the sound of sirens approaching.
There was a tense expression on Angela's face as she sat in
the car. She watched the sceneries around flushing by, before she looked at
Jaden. She was currently sitting in front together with Christopher, while
Jaden sat at the back of the car with the other young police officer.
Angela wanted to ask Jaden something, but she held back. In
the end, she turned around and focused on looking ahead. At this moment, she
decided that she had to focus on the mission, instead of asking anything.
Jaden had noticed that Angela was hesitant, as if she wanted
to ask him something but she did not have the courage. Still, he did not ask
her to ask him anything. It would be better if she did not ask. After all, he
was not willing to tell her anything, as long as it was not related with the
current mission.
The police car was driven for more than 20 minutes, before
they finally slowed down. It seemed that the police department had already made
arrangements, considering that this part of the city, the Southern part of the
city, currently had a low number of vehicles on the road.
Only a few people were currently using the road, while the
majority of them had already stopped. They understood that there was going to
be a police operation that was going to be carried out in this part of the
city, and it was going to be extremely dangerous.
As for those that were currently driving on the roads closer
to the area that the operation was going to take place, they were those that
had no other choice, or were just stubborn and did not believe what they had
been told.
It was only after they had seen such a convoy of police cars
coming over, that they finally realized that everything that they had been told
was actually true. So, they tried as much as possible to hurry out of this
area.
Jaden was watching the surrounding areas. He had already
received information about where they were going to deal with the gangsters.
The gangsters were in a villa that was located in the Southern part of the
city.
That was the base of the leader of the gang. As for the
lower level gangsters, they had all been dealt with by now. But those that were
still remaining in that villa were the high level members of the gang, making
them dangerous.
They took a mountainous road, before finally Jaden could see
a villa that was a distance away. The moment that Jaden saw the villa, he
realized that there was something fishy here.
After all, considering the size of that villa, it was clear
that the owner of the villa was someone who possessed incredible influence. So,
it was impossible for them not to know that they were being targeted by the
police.
Despite that, Jaden did not say anything. Instead, he firmly
held the gun in his hand. This was going to be the first time that he was going
to use a gun in combat But somehow, he was not that nervous at all. In fact, in
the entire car, he was the only one who was not nervous.
Booom!
A sudden explosion occurred in front of them, startling the
people inside the car. Immediately, Christopher stepped on the brakes, forcing
the car to stop.
