Streng Geheim

Chapter 11: The Call

"Mein Kanzler...." a man was speaking   "the last report from our man in Japan was clearly lacking informations, i think we have to initiate Plan Wüsten"

"It's the first time he omitted something, that means he isn't doing well in his mission, we lost him in the moment he didn't said everything; so procede with the plan"

"Ja, Mein Kanzler"

Said that, the man goes to a cellphone, dials  an unknown number and starts the call

"42...?"

Another man with a deeper voice take the line "Operative and ready"

"Good....now: take the girl and bring her here, he will soon follow....once you've got both trapped torture him, but keep him alive, and when he'd suffered enough...kill the girl in front of his eyes without any mercy"

"Understood"

The call ends, it wad clear for them that they couldn't trust their man anymore and for that he needs a punishment for being distracted, the Ordensstaat doesn't permit any deviations from the orders, what the chancellor says must be done without regrets or questions.

Michael was doing some exercises when he hears a loud sound from outside  "What was that sound?"  He thinks; when he goes to the window he sees nothing but a small point in the sky turning towards him and his house, almost as targeting the house with a rocket  "What is a jet doing this close to the houses?!  The pilots know it's very dangerous for them and the.....wait, oh no!"

He realizes that isn't a normal jet fighter, it was a Burgundian one, it was too advanced for being Japanese or even American, sign that someone was in great danger "What the Hell is the Ordensstaat doing here?!" He thinks.

He knew he was a target now, because he omitted precious information, but not that Maho was also targeted; she simply was a girl that he started liking as the time togheter passed by, not a target!  he couldn't allow that the one he likes might be killed by his own country, he Must protect her!  In a hurry he calls Miho, he was worried a lot now

"Hi Miho....did you saw your sister lately?!?"

"Ehm...no, why do you ask? And why are you so in a hurry?"

"I have a bad feeling..."

"About what?"

"Ehm....I can't tell you now, anyway did you know where she is now?"

"She should be at home, you caught me outside home..."

"Thank you!"

He hangs up quickly and rushes to Maho's house and when he gets there he finds the front gate open  "This should be closed, it's not a good sign"

He enters the house..."Maho! Maho, do you hear me!" he shouts, with no response  "Too silence, even worse now...."

Once he gets into her room and finds it empty he realizes that this is his worst scenario

"They kidnapped her...." he feels the anger rising up like nothing now that Maho was kidnapped, he felt so angry he  would have broken the huge wooden desk in the room in a single punch; a few tears came down his cheeks, even if he wouldn't admit it, he likes Maho...and a lot, so now for him his new goal is to save her from the terrible claws of the Ordensstaat.

All day long he picked up all his things, preparing for a long journey, put them in a small suitcase and headed to the nearest harbour, when his pocket stealth submarine was anchored, the one used to come to Japan the first time, and then he left....direction: Ordensstaat Burgund.

In the futuristic jet the Burgundian Agent recived a hologram message  "good work 42...we surely know the bait has worked....now come back, we still have a lot of work to do..."

Agent 42 nodded, heading his jet towards his country; with a sedated Maho in the other seat of the jet, now turning invisible for not being intercepted thanks to the active camouflage of the plane.

Now Maho's life is depending on Michael, one thing done badly and she's dead....he can't do nothing wrong if he wants to see his truly loved one surviving...every second counts now....Tick Tock.
