Chapter 2 The "Rescue"

  • Athens, May 8, 2021
  • Patrick Amíntoros
  • You sent for me, my lord?
  • Patrick, we will have to rush our plans, Cleo just called to tell me that the information about the descendant has been leaked, and although I trust the surveillance team
  • that guards her, I don't want to take any risks. The girl is essential for my plans.
  • Would you like me to
  • bring her to you, sir?
  • That's how it is. Luckily Villa Philipides in Spiros is already finished. Leave immediately for
  • Havana, I need you to bring her.
  • What if she refuses, sir? I don't think the girl is... the kind who interacts much with strangers.
  • He frowns at me.
  • You won't be a stranger to her, not exactly. Reports say
  • she remembers quite a bit of what happened that night. Be careful. She are emotionally unstable, she suffers frequent panic attacks and that could compromise her life.
  • I "rescue" her then. Must put her to sleep and load
  • her on the jet?
  • Do what you understand is necessary, I only ask that you treat her with delicacy.
  • I'm really stunned.
  • This is the firs time, in these two millennia that my lord asks me for such a thing. Well, I'm not the one to question his orders.
  • 000
  • Havana City, two days later.
  • I got her. It wasn't particularly difficult. She's is a lonely creature. Her life is summed up in
  • waking up, going to work, returning home, eating, bathing, reading, sleeping
  • and repeating. In twenty-four hours I put together the rescue plan (I refuse to
  • think that this is kidnapping) and I already have her on the jet.
  • When I caught her near
  • her house, she resisted with tooth and
  • nail. It was an enormous fun watching her struggle. I covered her nose and
  • mouth with a formaldehyde-smeared handkerchief and good night! She fell
  • instantly. The moment she was unconscious I felt a sense of dejavú, millennia
  • ago my Lord entrusted me to bring another woman to his presence and I am
  • surprised to note that that woman and this one bear an impressive physical
  • resemblance.
  • That is why my Lord has
  • been so consumed with obsession for her, that is why he has been inactive for
  • three years in the sexual arena. Which has astonished me, Alexandros's appetite
  • for carnal pleasures is legendary and insatiable. That he has gone so long
  • without lovers is a true mystery. There is something very strange about this
  • girl.
  • It is true that Alexandros had been searching for descendants of the ancient Sorceresses who
  • cursed us both, for almost two centuries. I have always thought that he was so
  • doing out of curiosity, out of interest in discovering what had become of that
  • woman, but apparently my Lord is up to something else.
  • The girl will sleep until after we arrive. I have administered an intravenous sleeping medication in the appropriate dose for said purpose. I had had to bribe the customs officer, the merchandise my Lord demands has been more expensive than expected.
  • I take out my cell phone and dial the default number. He answers on the second
  • ring.
  • Well?- Asks my lord impatiently.
  • I got her. It wasn't hard to carry out the rescue, but it has cost you five grands. The customs
  • officer is an ambitious son of a bitch.
  • He laughes merrily.
  • Must I take her to Athens or...
  • Take her directly to Spiros, I'll catch up with you there, tomorrow morning.
  • Yes, sir.
  • And Patrick...
  • Master?
  • Good job.
  • Hangs up.
  • I tune the controls and take off. I'll keep an eye on the girl once she wakes up. I don't know why but there is something in all this that gives me a very bad feeling.
