The Body Swap (completed)

CHP39

Lucci Ricci struggled at the backseat with all his might. Vanessa and Hacker have  successfully found him with a small  help and now both his hands and feet are tied. Even his mouth is taped shut so he couldn't scream.

They found him on the way to his private jet with his bodyguards which they tricked and locked inside the restroom near the area where his jet was.

As Vanessa was driving, they heard a loud explosion about eight buildings ahead. Both of them looked at each other before deciding to go check it out.

They didn't go quite near since it was surrounded by  few civilians and that they knew that police are on their way to investigate. Their view of the incident though, is okay. The topmost floor have collapsed and Hacker knew what had happened.

He searched all around, peeking his head out to scout for any possible signs of Ethan. And he did see him casually walking away with his head low. He was wearing a face mask and a black cap. Hacker pinpointed him and Vanessa followed.

She honked at him which got his attention. Quickly he opened the door to the backseat, moved Ricci and took a seat. All four of them drove away from there as firetrucks and medical assistance rushed in.

"So what do we do now?" Hacker asked once Ethan was seated besides Ricci. Vanessa  started the engine and drove away from there as police start to swarm the place.

"Clean our name in this country." Ethan replied, turning to look at the man tied up besides him. Lucci's eyes pleaded.

Ethan removed the duct tape. His skin stung and  reddened. "So what do you say Ricci? What do you want us to do to you? I mean your friend Stanley just blew up into bits.... So how about you?"

"Surrender me to the cops. I-I'll confess everything just please spare my family." He said with sincerity and fear. His whole body was trembling.

"Alrighty then." Ethan paused. "But if you even think about trying anything funny.. We will make sure you , your fucked up family and your shitty society will not see tomorrow's light."

A sweat dripped down from Ricci's forehead. He could only do nothing but nod in agreement.

"Essa go to the cafe near the police station. We drop him off there." he said, putting the tape back on his mouth.

"Copy."

Silence followed after that. 'It's almost over', Ethan said to himself.

He looked at the love of his life driving the car,  then to Ricci beside him. Guilt rose up inside him. Ethan knew that even though Ricci had bad intentions in mind, he was still a good father. He didn't let Isabella get involved in anything unlike what he did to Alex. Isabella was never in harms way to begin with. The call a while ago was just a fake.

Isabella had been very cooperative with them. Even in the recording of her fake cry. She's going to grow up as a great actress.

It's such a shame that a bright girl like her would be surrounded by a selfish big brother and  parents who want nothing but everlasting power over others.

Ethan shook the thought off his mind.  He knew very well that even though the world is full of mayhem and darkness, a bright light from a single person can overpower anything.

When they arrived at the cafe, Vanessa and Ethan were in charge of dropping Ricci while Hacker watched the car.

"Alright Mr. Ricci, this is your stop." Vanessa said,  removing the ties from him. Ethan was her lookout. After untying him, they walked back to the car while Ricci walked to the station.
