Chapter Ninety Nine

"In the garage, waiting. I came to your Suite and learnt you had left."

She cleared her throat. "Had to check something out. I’m on my way."

She ended the call and moved faster.

By the time she reached the private terminal, the jet was already waiting with the engines humming softly in the night. The lights along the runway cast long shadows, stretching toward the aircraft like grasping hands.

Demir stood at the base of the stairs, one hand in his pocket, and the other gripping a folded map. His gaze met hers immediately, as if assessing her.

"You good?"

She barely paused, her expression unreadable. "One of those days." The words came out flat, and dismissive. Before he could press, she cut in, "What’s the plan?"

A flicker of something— concern, maybe— crossed his face, but he didn’t push. He simply held up the map. "I’ll show you inside."

That was all she needed. Without another word, she turned and climbed the stairs, stepping into the cool cabin. The air inside smelled of leather and jet fuel, sterile but familiar.

Behind her, the door shut.

Demir followed, unfolding the map as he took the seat across from her.

His hand moved swiftly, tracing their route. "We land here," he said, tapping a small airstrip just outside the city limits. "The only person who knows where our target is, is kidnapped in an underground bunker beneath an abandoned water factory. Surveillance reveals there is heavy security: Six teams rotating at all hours. All of them are heavily armed. The only access point is through an elevator in the main warehouse."

Asli leaned forward as her eyes scanned the layout.

Demir continued, "We go in under the cover of lost tourists. Our contact inside will disable the outer cameras for exactly two minutes. That gives us about 24 seconds each to get through the gate or else the alarm blows and then reach the lower level before they realize we’re inside."

One of the men crossed his arms. "And once we are in?"

Demir’s finger dragged over a set of corridors. "There are two hallways, both leading to the bunker. One is a straight shot but heavily guarded. The other" he tapped a narrow vent system leading around the perimeter "gets us closer without being seen."

A muscle ticked in Asli’s jaw. "Then what?"

Demir’s tone was flat. "We take him out."

Silence settled over the room.

The plan was solid. Clean. Too clean. It was easy.

But Asli’s eyes flicked over the red marks around the main hallway, and she shook her head.

"No," she said, her voice cold, final. "That hallway will get us killed in three minutes."

Demir frowned. "I know the system is too narrow for all of us— "

"I’m not talking about the vents system." She leaned in, tapping a section near the entrance. "But we need the password. A wrong one, would set off the alarm, locking all exits. They will intentionally unlock the door to the vent system’s hallway. The moment we enter, they’ll lock it down. We won’t be able to breathe in there. There’ll be no exit route because we already set off the alarm. We’d be cornered with nowhere to go and no air to breathe that is why they have no guards there."

One of the men exhaled sharply. The other two men exchanged glances, agreeing with her. Demir’s plan was too easy.

Demir’s gaze locked onto hers, searching. "Then what do you suggest?" He knew Asli was right. Even if they were to wear gas masks and carry oxygen, they’d exhaust it before anyone opened them. He had overlooked that aspect. He had seen an easy route and thought they should take it.

Her fingers drummed once against the table before she pointed to an unmarked section at the side of the building.

"We have to blow a new entrance." she suggested.

"Not a good idea." Demir quickly informed her. His idea might have been dangerous but hers was foolish.

The route with the guards would be the safest option among all the ones they’ve listed.

"How many guards do they have on the other route?" One of the three men asked and Demir recollected.

"Thirty. It’s an open route."

"How does that make any sense? Why not kill him to hide where our target is hiding? Unless, he is our target. They are hiding him from us." Asli pointed out and it seemed everyone was thinking it too.
