I still wasn’t taking any chances though because I wasn’t sure what he knew. I had too much shit going on at once and there was an overwhelming feeling of impending doom, which I tried to keep from her.
I knew one way or the other this shit will have to come to a head but there was no telling how or when. The doctor was still a no show and no one seemed to know where the fuck he was. I’d sent men to his home but there was no sign of him there. That made me very uneasy.
I called the guys in for a meet since she was going to be out for at least an hour and the doctor wasn’t due here for her checkup until the early evening. Brushing her hair back gently so as not to wake her I left the room and headed downstairs.
Intel had been coming in for days now since we got the first lead and pulled on that string. The children were spread out in different places, which would make things difficult but not impossible. Still there were no guarantees one wrong move and shit could blow up in our faces.
Men were already on the ground in Southeast Asia scouting out the places we’d traced some of the stolen kids to. Something I’d thought would take weeks to put into play my wife now wanted done overnight, and since I’d promised to always give her what she wanted I had to find a way to make it happen. I know her well enough to know that each day that went by was harder on her.
The men showed up ten minutes later and we got to work. “We’re moving sooner than planned guys.” I knew I wouldn’t hear any argument from them they were ready to move from day one. “I need the guys to be ready to go in, what’s the word from that end anything new there?”
“They’re ready whenever you are just waiting for the word from you. It might take longer for some arms of the operation but we feel pretty confident that we can move.”
I kept an eye on the monitor where I could see that she was sleeping peacefully. How many will we be able to save? How many can we get home to the comfort of their own beds? I’m hoping for all, for her sake and theirs because I know if we lose even one of them it’ll hit her hard.
My phone went off with a text. Fuck. “The doctor’s finally landed in the city boys I guess they’ve found what they were looking for. Either that or he’s here to help. I’ll make the call let’s start this shit rolling.”
We started coordinating and getting a team together on both sides. There was a lot of manpower needed to do what we needed done. Halfway through she started making waking up sounds on the monitor so I made my excuses and went to her. I filled her in on what we were doing and answered her questions before heading back down.
Eight and a half hours later I gave the go ahead to rescue the kids that had already been found. It was going to be a very delicate undertaking which I wished I could be there for but I couldn't leave her, not while her monsters were somewhere in my city searching her out.
I had some of my best men on it although Gage and his immediate crew refused to leave; not while the senator was lurking they said. I accepted their loyalty to my wife and I and was secure in the knowledge that the men we’d handpicked to go would get the job done.
I kept things opened on my end so that I could monitor every step of the operation. It had been decided that the teams would storm the private residences, neutralize the captors by any means necessary, and remove the children.
This part of the operation was taking place in five separate locations. As to the brothels and flesh houses where some of the others were being held that would take a different approach.
The children we were looking for there had already been found, well some of them anyway, but we agreed it would be unwise to storm such places where there was so much in and out traffic until we had more Intel.
One option was to free everyone being held in those places, but first we needed to know where to send them, where they belonged. So far we'd gotten ears and eyes inside two of the three places to try to keep track of what was going on but it wasn't the best choice to move right now, maybe in another day or two.
Not much longer than that because there was no doubt that word might get back to the senator if all his victims started disappearing at once, and we still didn't know if he stayed in contact with the people he'd sold the children to.
