Episode 45 The Ambush

Alex and Benny were engrossed in their video game, their laughter filling the room. Suddenly, Alex's phone buzzed, interrupting their gaming session. He picked it up and read the text it was from Ruth , his face turning pale. He tried calling Ruth, his sister, but her phone was out of reach. Confused and worried, he kept staring at his phone after texting Ruth back, but there was no response.

"What's wrong, little man?" Benny asked, noticing Alex's confusion It's Ruth she is asking me to go to town but the strange thing is, she instructed me not to go anywhere." Alex answered looking confused. NoHe gently placed a hand on Alex's shoulder, offering comfort. "Don't worry, little man. I'll come with you. Where did she say we must meet her?" Benny said, holding Alex's head, and Alex felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Alex and Benny embarked on a journey to town where Ruth was waiting for them. "don't worry benny we can just take John the driver we don't need so many people" Alex said "are you sure? because I don't want you to get hate or your sister will kill me" Benny said "shut up big guy let's go" Alex said getting to into a car.

In town, Ruth, Alex's sister, and Jemima entered a restaurant. Ruth started rummaging through her bag, her brows furrowed in confusion. "What's the problem love?" James asked, concerned. "I can't find my phone," she replied, her voice filled with worry. "Maybe you left it at my house," James suggested, but Ruth shook her head. "I never leave my phone. I'm always with it, and it was in my bag," she said, growing increasingly anxious. "Maybe you dropped it in the house," Jemima suggested, looking at the menu as she contemplated ordering food.

Meanwhile, Alex and Benny hurried towards town, following Ruth's trail. "My sister is waiting. Can you hurry, Benny?" Alex urged, heading towards the car. "Calm down, little man. I'm coming," Benny reassured him.

As they drove, the car suddenly screeched to a halt. "What the hell, John? Why did you stop?" Alex asked, his anger evident. "Sorry, Alex, but there's a car blocking the road," the driver explained.

"Alex, wait here. I'll go and check," Benny said, stepping out of the car. He approached the stranded vehicle, where the driver was frantically trying to fix it. The owner, dressed in a suit, impatiently urged the driver to hurry up, as he was running late for an important appointment.

Alex couldn't contain his curiosity and decided to join Benny. As he approached them, he heard a gunshot. When he turned around, the driver was nowhere to be seen. It seemed like he had fallen onto the car seat, unconscious or worse.

On the other side of town, Ruth couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. Something didn't feel right. She glanced at her hand and realized her watch was missing. Panic surged through her as she checked her bag again, relieved to find it there. But then, she noticed a red dot, like a flashlight, blinking on her watch. Her heart raced. "Alex is in danger," she thought to herself, excusing herself to use the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Ruth quickly devised a plan. She glanced around and spotted Jemima's car and a window. Without hesitation she went through the window and stole Jemima's car , because she had stolen the keys when she wasn't looking at the table. Ruth knew she had to act swiftly to save Alex.

As Ruth sped through the streets, her mind raced with worry for her brother. She knew she had to find him and before it was too late. "I hope you have guards Alex" she wished Her heart pounded in her chest as she followed the GPS on her smartwatch, leading her to his location.

Meanwhile, Alex and Benny were trapped, surrounded by the menacing goons. Fear gripped Alex's heart as he looked into the cold eyes of the man holding the gun. He knew they were in grave danger, and he desperately hoped that Ruth would arrive soon.

Benny's heart raced as he locked eyes with Alex. But Before Benny could react, a man in a suit appeared, pointing a gun directly at him.

"Don't move an inch, or you're dead," the man warned, his voice filled with menace. Benny's mind raced, regretting the decision to not bring any guards with them. He glanced at Alex again, only to see another man pointing a gun at him. They were completely surrounded by goons.

Meanwhile, Ruth drove as fast as she could, her smartwatch guiding her through the city streets. She knew her brother, Alex, was in danger, and she couldn't bear the thought of him getting hurt. Her instincts had always been sharp when it came to her brother's safety.

James anxiously waited for Ruth's return, but as time passed, he grew more concerned. Unable to sit still any longer, he decided to step outside and look around as he waits for her. To his shock, he discovered that Jemima's car was missing.

Panicking, James rushed back inside and called out to Jemima. "Go and check on Ruth!" he urgently instructed. Jemima's heart sank as she realized Ruth was nowhere to be found. She searched every corner of the building, but there was no sign of her. When she noticed the open window, it became clear that Ruth had run away.

"Damn it, Ruth! How do you always sense when your brother is in danger?" Jemima muttered to herself, frustration evident in her voice. James, overhearing her, quickly pieced together what had happened.

"Ruth isn't here, Jemima," he shouted, his worry growing. "And your car is gone too." Jemima nodded, realizing that her car had a GPS system. James saw an opportunity to track Ruth and help her in her time of need.

"Does your car have a GPS?" he asked, and Jemima, without thinking, nodded in response. "Let's follow it then. I think something happened to Ruth," James declared, determination shining in his eyes.

"No, James, we can't," Jemima protested, her voice filled with concern. "But we're police officers. We should help her," James argued, already heading towards the exit."what if it's a family issue?" Jemima asked still trying to stop James from going after Ruth "I have a bad feeling about this let's just go and find out what is happening" he said and Jemima just followed in anger.

And so, the chase began, with James and Jemima racing against time to find Ruth and bring her back safely if at all she needed there help. Little did they know that their path would be filled with unexpected twists, dangerous encounters, and a web of deceit that would test their courage and loyalty.

Just as the tension reached its peak, the sound of screeching tires filled the air. Ruth's car came to a sudden halt, and she burst out of the vehicle, ready to face whatever awaited her. James and Jemima followed closely behind, their police instincts kicking in.

Ruth's eyes scanned the area, searching for any sign of her brother and Benny. Her heart sank as she saw the group of goons surrounding them. Without hesitation, she charged forward, determined to save her loved ones.

But as soon as Ruth come out of the car, a man with a mask held Alex with a knife on his throat, "move an inch and he is dead" he said with a scary voice, and Ruth stopped.

James and Jemima, highly trained officers of an elite task force, found themselves in a dire situation. They had stumbled upon a dangerous criminal organization, and now their lives, as well as the lives of their friends, hung in the balance.

As they quickly assessed the situation, their training kicked in, guiding their every move. They knew they had to act swiftly to neutralize the threat and ensure everyone's safety. James signaled to Jemima, and without exchanging a word, they split up, each taking on a group of goons.

However, before they could make their move, a chilling sound echoed through the room - the unmistakable click of a gun being cocked. James and Jemima froze, their hearts pounding in their chests. A man's voice cut through the tension, commanding them to move slowly.

Reluctantly, they turned their attention towards Ruth and the others. Ruth, a fearless and resourceful ally, found herself at gunpoint, her heart racing. She knew that any rash action on her part could endanger the lives of her friends, Alex and Benny.

James and Jemima, bound and helpless, were forced to sit down next to Alex and Benny. The forest fell silent as a masked figure stepped forward, removing his disguise. Ruth's eyes widened in disbelief as she recognized the man standing before her.
