343 He Saved Me 1 (1/2)

”Primo, I… know of their plan.” The young lady executive musters her courage to speak in front of the rest.

Vince looks at the lady and remembers the time he and the Team Alpha and Bravo rescued her.

-----FLASHBACK----

Vince was out on the field to survey the new territory they had just conquered after defeating the evil mafia gang of the area. Team Alpha was doing the rounds with him while Team Bravo surveys the potential businesses they can propose to improve its economy.

”When will we have the final count of the residents, Secondo?” Vince asked his cousin, who's also the second in command.

”Tomorrow morning will be the latest. Team Bravo is on it as we speak.” Edward casually replies as the two of them turns right on the last corner of the territory.

”This is their dumping site.”

”I can see that. But this is too near the residents. Instruct some of the men to clean this up and call one of the members of Team Alpha to look for a suitable dumping site.”

”Yes, Primo.”

The two were about to turn around when they suddenly heard some movements from the dump site. These sudden sounds alerted the two of them and they immediately pulled out their guns and pointed it at the section of the dumpsite where they heard the noise. Vince walked slowly towads the sound with Edward covering for him a few steps away.

When Vince pulled out some garbage plastics, she saw a girl at the age of 13 crying as quiet as she can. The girl was wearing worn out short sleeved shirt and short with tears and cuts everywhere. Vince offered his hand to allow the girl to stand but the she wouldn't accept it.

”I just escaped from bad people who wanted to sell me out. You had guns and dressed the same way as them.” The girl confessed to him with her tears falling from her eyes and her body shivering from the coldness and fear.

”I see. So how did you escape from them?” Vince stepped back and stood up with his hands inside his pocket.

”If you're going to bring me back, I'd rather not tell you so I can do it again with a little modification.” The girl tried to sound fiercer this time but in front of Vince's and Edward's eyes she looked like a puppy wagging its tail between its legs.

To the girl's disbelief, Vince and Edward started to laugh.

”I'm sorry. I just find you smart and cute.” Vince coughed in between as he stopped laughing to form a smile on his face.

”Don't worry. We have defeated those bad guys.” Edward put his gun back and walked towards them.

”Are you the government?” She curiously asked.

”No, but we'd like to help you if you'd like. How about some clothes and warm food for a start? You must be starving.” Vince made a very tempting offer to the girl who seemed to agree then disagree seconds later.

”How about it's just you and me? He will not follow us around and I'll bring you places with a lot of people?” Vince made another offer in favor of the girl.

The girl pondered on the pros and cons of the deal and realized everything was in her favor. The man had nothing to gain from it.
