Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Meeting at the headquarters
It was still dark. After Leila sent an S.O.S signal to the headquarters, the officers in charge of watching their computer for any data saw it. At first, he thought that the spy is only some low ranking officer. But, after learning that Leila's partner is none other than Col. Gen. Adrianno which is a high ranking military officer. And so, he immediately informed the head of the intelligence department.
The head of the intelligence department immediately informed Gen. Adrianno which is also known as the field marshal which holds the highest authority in the field army next to the commander-in-chief which is President Maxillano.
Gen. Adrianno were turning sixty this year but his body is still healthy and look a decade younger than his age. It was ten in the evening when he receive the message informing him of his son's predicament. And so, after learning about it, he immediately bid farewell to his wife but decided against it to tell her about what happened to their son so as to not get her worried.
He immediately called the secretary-of-the-state which is Secretary Orwell to conduct an emergency meeting inside the courtroom of the headquarters with the President and other high ranking officials in military. After explaining to Sec. Orwell about the reason of the meeting, Sec. Orwell immediately informed the President and the military officials involved.
As it is already late, and some are already resting, the meeting starts around ten-thirty in the evening.
The courtroom only has simple black and white decorations. It has an oval shaped table which has twelve chairs. In front of it, there lays a huge flat screen television hanged on the wall.
The room consist of the high ranking officials such as President Maxillano which is the commander-in-chief of all the military forces, the field Marshal which is the five-star General Adrianno, Fleet Admiral Cairo which holds the highest authority in Naval field, Air Chief Marshal Guillermo which holds the highest position in the air force, the tacticians and some minor officers in military.
The room is quite huge but it only has around twenty persons inside it right now. And, of course, their agenda is how they are going to save Nicolas and Leila.
"So, tell me, how did Col. Gen. Adrianno falls in the enemies' hands?", President Maxillano inquired massaging his brows as he is confused how that boy made such a grave mistake. Well, he is friends with the Adrianno family so he really is familiar with that boy. But, what bothers him is that Nicolas is also a very cautious man how could he act dumb right now?.
"Sir, base from our intelligence department it was not supposed to be Col. Gen. Adrianno who should have performed the espionage job but an agent named Pierro. According from the said agent, earlier in the morning Col. Gen. Adrianno received a message from his friend which named Judas which is also one of our soldiers. Based from him, he found out the enemies territory which we could not find for almost two months now. After informing him, they tried reaching him again but they could not contact him. Nicolas being too anxious and worried for his friend, he decided to just believe his friend and save him. But, only now that our intelligence department found out that it has been three days since that agent disappeared and so they now concluded that maybe the whole thing is only a trap made by the terrorist to lure Col. Gen. Adrianno", Secretary Orwell explained to President Maxillano.
"That b*stard son of mine! How could he become so careless! I never thought that, that Judas will betray my son! If I saw him again I will tear him to pieces and also that son of mine, once I saw him, I will knock some sense on him!", Gen. Adrianno lengthily exclaimed though he is spouting some venomous words but he is truly very worried for his son right now.
"*sigh* Old man Adrianno, your son is only human who can also make a mistake and besides this is only the first time that he made a mistake. He only wants to help his friend, so be more lenient with him", Admiral Cairo said trying to pacify Gen. Adrianno's wrath. These two old men were good friends so they do not care about how they addressed each other.
"Yes old man, this old Cairo is right. He is an excellent boy, I'm sure he will also find a way to get out of their predicament but, we need to also help them so Old man calm down. We'll be able to save them!", Chief Guillermo added.
"Hmp! whatever you two say but if anything happens to that boy I will bomb that whole place to ashes to bury those son-of-a-b*tch with my son!", Gen. Adrianno said but he is seriously anxious right now and feeling worried if his son is still alive since, they do not receive any messages from the terrorists.
The old men who consist of Pres. Maxillano, Gen. Adrianno, Admiral Cairo, Chief Guillermo and Sec. Orwell along with the tacticians and minor officials, they talked about military tactics on how they were going to save the two. Since, the fortress is located in a mountainous region, it is very difficult to infiltrate as the trail is too slippery and steep. Although it is still possible to pass through but for a large platoon to pass through, it is quite difficult as it will attract the enemy before they would be able to get near the fortress. It is only possible to infiltrate stealthily for one or two persons.
They decided that the best solution right now is to lure those snakes out of their lair then battle them in the open field near it. But the question is, how will they do it?
