A Dragon Among The Stars

Ambush!

Two hours later, in the middle the trip. The convoy had to passed first a forest before they could reach Valencia city.

In each car two soldiers were in the front seats, while the employees were seated on the back. Kiel was seated on the middle, on his left was an was another employee, and on the right side was chief Clark, he was so bored as the two people beside him were someone who he wasn't close with.

'ahhh... it would have been better if I was seated with Jake...' he looked at his watched seeing that there's one and a half hour before they arrive, he was a little relieve 'it's just another half an hour, yawnnnn, I should take a nap'

Kiel closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep, but he couldn't he could hear commotions from outside the car.

The chief beside him asked "what happened?"

"Sir, the front car's engine seems to have stopped working"

"what do you mean stopped working? I already told them I didn't want any mishaps and this happens!?"he move his mouth closer to his communication device and shouted;

"I want a detailed report right now!"

"yes sir, were right on it"

He was suspicious of the whole situation, he knew this soldiers, they were heavily and strictly trained by the family. They wouldn't do this kind of stupid mistake, he knew this whole situation wasn't simple as he thought.

"squad leader, have your men secure the perimeter, be on alert!"

"yes sir, on it!"

......

"there's no any electricity in the engine, that's strange..." two soldiers were fixing the front car

"Secure the perimeter, be on high alert, you are allowed to open fire to any threat"

The squad leader, hearing the chief's orders hurriedly ordered his men to have the perimeter secured.

Hearing the order, the soldiers were quick on their feet and started securing each vechicle, each on high alert, ready to kill anyone that could be a threat to he convoy.

"Back side, secured, nothing suspicious"

"Middle side, also secured"

"Affirmative, Stay and hold your perimeters!"

Satisfied by the reports he heard he went to check the status of the front car, even though the nothing was reported suspicious it was better to be cautious,

"what's the status?"

"Sir, the engine have completely stopped, no anomalies with other the parts. The problem lies within the power supply, there's no electricity"

"No electricity? How come? All of it's parts are newly made and only installed yesterday, it's power supply should be able to last for more than a month! Could the battery have been a defect?" the situation was indeed fishy, the engine parts the company made, were all high quality, they were strictly tested before coming out of the factories, especially for this car model, this was the latest car released the company, it's capabilities were high above from any out there.

"no sir, were sure there aren't any defects, each components were tested before being installed."

"if there aren't any defects, then... check for any tampering!"

He was on high alert, if this engine was really tampered then there's a high a chance of ambush, he looked around the vicinity, the road was more than wide enough to fit two cars. They were surrounded by high trees and lush bushes, it this situation spelled ambush.
