Chapter 14: Iron Heights (1)
[At Alfred’s Villa] [11:15pm]
Alfred was sitting in his room, smoking a long stick of cigar, when he heard a knock on the door.
“Come in.” He replied in a deep voice.
The door opened and Caesar walked in.
“Good evening boss.” Caeser greeted with a bow.
“Yes?”
“You have a phone call from Dr Lavoisier.” Caesar replied as he stretched his phone towards Alfred.
Alfred collected the phone and placed it on his ear.
“Hello Dr Lavoisier.” Alfred greeted after he blew out smoke from his mouth.
“Good evening sir Gilberto. I have a mission for you.” Dr Lavoisier replied.
“Spill it out.” Alfred said.
“My men were arrested yesterday morning by crime officers and my shipment was also seized by those officers.” Dr Lavoisier narrated.
Alfred took another puff from his cigarette and blew out smoke from both his mouth and nostrils.
“So, what exactly do you want me to do for you?” Alfred asked.
“My men will be taken to court tomorrow morning. So, I want you to bust out my men this night and also my shipment.” Dr Lavoisier replied.
Alfred remained silent for a while, and he continued to smoke the cigarette.
“Sir Gilberto, are you still there?” Dr Lavoisier asked.
“I am still with you Dr Lavoisier.” Alfred replied, “What’s the name of the prison that your men were taken to?” He asked.
“Iron Heights prison.” Dr Lavoisier replied.
“Hmm.. I am sure you know that prison is the most secured and guarded that prison is in the whole of Los Angeles.” Alfred said.
“Yes, I know.” Dr Lavoisier replied.
“So, how much are you paying for this job?” Alfred asked.
“Thirty million dollars.” Dr Lavoisier replied. Alfred chuckled at his reply.
“Do you think busting your men out of that prison is child’s play?” Alfred asked.
“I will increase it to fifty million dollars.” Dr Lavoisier replied.
“Not enough.” Alfred said.
Dr Lavoisier’s sigh could be heard.
“Alright, I’ll pay eighty million dollars. That’s all I can afford.”
“Be rest assured Dr Lavoisier. Your men and your shipment will return back to your doorstep in one piece.” Alfred said with a smirk on his face.
“Thanks sir Gilberto.” Dr Lavoisier said.
“Pleasure doing business with you.” Alfred replied, then he handed the phone to Ceaser.
Caesar’s phone beeped some seconds after he collected it from Alfred.
“Boss, he has transferred the payment.” Caesar said.
Alfred took a last puff from the cigar, then he dumped it in a ash tray.
“Inform the inner circle to suit up. We have a mission right now.” Alfred said as he stood up.
[Iron Heights prison]
Alfred and the members of his inner circle, were seated in a big black van, which was parked some metres away from the prison.
Another black van which also belonged to them was also parked at another side of then road, not far from the prison. The second van was empty.
Alfred’s inner circle consisted of five members excluding Alfred; Douglas, Viper, Caesar, Stacy and a lady named Rose.
Everyone in the van except Stacy and Alfred, wore a black mask on their face.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Rose was a skilled fighter and she was also a pro at throwing knives at her target.
Caesar was a top tier at using swords. He was also good in close range combats.
Stacy was a professional computer scientist. She had the knowledge of hacking and cracking security firewalls. She also had the knowledge of creating and building both weapons and battle suits.
Douglas was a skilled shooter and Alfred’s best friend. He could shoot his targets from a very long distance. He knew how to make use of various guns.
Viper was a well trained assassin before she joined Alfred’s mafia gang. She could make use of any weapon; be it swords, guns or knives, she was good at using them all.
And finally, the mafia boss, Alfred, who was trained by four different combat masters, under the supervision of grandmaster Gilberto.
Alfred was trained from childhood till he grew up. He learned how to fight judo, karate, kungfu and boxing. He was trained to kill his enemies ruthlessly.
“Stacy, give us the security details of the prison.” Douglas said.
Stacy was seated at the front seat with three laptops and some other gadgets in her front.
“The guards outside the prison are ten. The ones in the first floor are twenty three, the guards in the second and third floor are forty in total. There are twenty surveillance cameras both outside and inside the prison.” Stacy explained detailedly as she operated her three laptops, simultaneously.
“The men we are sent to rescue are ten in number, locked up in the second floor and the shipment is locked in the third floor of the prison.” Stacy added, then Alfred spoke.
“Stacy will deactivate the surveillance cameras at each floor, then we take down the officers and get what we came for. Is that clear?” Alfred asked.
“Yes boss!” Everyone in the van chorused.
Alferd wore a black mask on his face. The mask had an eagle logo on it.
“I will unlock every security doors from here and alert you guys whenever there is danger.” Stacy said.
“Alright, let’s get job done.” Alfred said, then they all alighted from the van except Stacy.
They all scaled the prison’s fence with spy gadgets. Stacy deactivated the power supply connected to the barb wires to prevent it from electrocuting them.
They jumped into the prison’s compound, then they splited and took down the ten officers patrolling the compound within a minute.
“Let’s move in.” Alfred commanded, then they all walked to the prison’s entrance.
Stacy deactivated the security system of the entrance door, then it opened and the gang walked inside the prison.
Douglas pulled out two pistols and fired bullets into the skulls of five officers at once. The five officers fell lifeless on the floor.
The other officers were alarmed, immediately they heard the gunshot.
Four officers rushed towards Rose with batons in their hands.
Rose skillfully dodged a baton which was aimed for her head, and she stab the officer in the chest. Then she threw two knives at two officers and they fell dead on the floor.
The last officer was about to hit Rose with his baton, but Rose did a back flip and she landed behind the officer, then she shoved her knife into the officer’s neck.
Two officers fired bullets simultaneously at Caesar, but Caesar was fast enough to remove his swords from it’s sheaths, then he hit the incoming bullets away with his swords.
Caesar then dashed towards the two officers and cut of their heads in split seconds.
“There are eleven officers remaining in the floor which you are.” Stacy informed Alfred and the gang through their earbuds.
Alfred and Viper sighted the eleven officers rushing towards their direction.
Alfred loaded his Ak-47 gun and Viper removed a long sword from the sheath which was strapped on her back.
Viper threw a smoke grenade at the incoming officers. The officers coughed as the smoke blocked their view. They couldn’t see where they were going or what was happening.
Painful screams, slashing sound of swords and gunshots were heard afterwards.
The smoke cleared off and the eleven officers could be seen laying dead on the floor. Some of the dead officers had bullet hole in their heads while others had their heads cut off.
Blood dripped down Viper’s sword and Alfred reloaded his gun.
“The first floor is clear, you can now advance to the second floor.” They heard Stacy’s voice through their earbuds.
“Let’s move.” Alfred said, then they all entered inside an elevator. Caesar pressed the second floor’s button, then the elevator started going up.
“Remember guys, there are twenty five officers in the second floor and fifteen in the floor, summing up to forty officers in total.” Stacy informed again.
The elevator got to the second floor. Immediately the door opened, Viper and Douglas both threw eight smoke grenades into the hallway. Thick smokes covered the whole hallway. Then the gang started killing the officers brutally.
The prisoners hid fearfully in their cells as they heard the officers screaming in pain. They couldn’t see what was happening because of the thick smoke.
The whole place went silent two minutes later, then the smoke cleared off. Alfred and his gang came into view. The prisoners stared at them in fear, through their cells.
Although, the prisoners couldn’t see their faces because of the masks they wore but they knew that Alfred and his gang were dangerous.
“Dr Lavoisier’s men are ten in total and they are locked up in different cells but they are all in the second floor. They all have a scar on their faces.” The gang heard Stacy’s voice.
“Two in cell A, one in cell D, four in cell G and three in cell F.” Stacy added.
Viper, Rose, Caesar and Douglas released Dr Lavoisier’s men from their cells.
“Please, save us also!” The other prisoners begged. Some of them were crying as they begged Alfred and his gang.
Alfred walked to the center to the hallway with a smirk across his lips.
“Sorry fellas, I can’t save you. And do you know why?” Alfred asked, sarcastically.
“Because I am not Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only one who is capable of saving you all, so give your life to him today and you shall be saved.” Alfred said, mockingly.
