Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 74

4:00 AM at Jansu Island.

In the mansion, standing atop of a cliff of Jansu Island, men on guard secured the area, walking back and forth at the estate when out of nowhere, the power went off!

"What's going on?"

"What happened to the power?"

"Turn the emergency power on!"

The surrounding men asked each other while some checked on their power lines.

It took around ten minutes for the mansion's generator to kick-in, lighting only a portion of the lights outside the home.

"What just happened?"

"I don't know, but the town also has no power."

There were roughly eight guards outside the home. While some guards continue to converse, a few checked the perimeters, making sure there were no intrusions.

A man holding a gun across his chest specifically checked the seas and the cliff entrance. When he saw that his colleagues on a speedboat were still doing their rounds half a mile from the mansion, he felt reassured. He turned around and ordered everyone, "Back to your posts. Seems like an ordinary outage. Fuck this island. It just does not have a stable power supply!"

"Yeah! Tell me about it. Even the network is not working." Yelled another guard walking outside the mansion. "Herald says the cameras are not working too."

"Power will be back soon," answered one man.

The cliff was both the hardest and easiest access to the estate. Since the entire mansion was surrounded by high walls and wired barricades, the less secured area was the cliff entry, but while it had no fences, climbing up to the cliffs would be tasking.

Only skilled individuals with good stamina and training could make the climb. Moreover, Blake Taylor had men going around the waters on a speedboat, checking any incomers from the sea.

Blake and the security were assured, no one could easily walk into the estate.

Below the mansion, the speedboat was going back and forth, maintaining a good distance from the ridges. Inside the roofed craft, two men were tied in a rope with their hands behind their backs.

Both were unconscious, clearly being sedated.

A man wearing a diving suit was taking the wheels while another one was guarding the sleeping opponents. They were soldiers of Winfield Davis.

"Delta One, this is Bravo One. We are in position," radioed their colleagues. "We are heading to the basement to cut down the power again."

"Alpha One is also in position. We are headed for the bedrooms," communicated Winfield.

"Charlie one is on standby, waiting for your orders, Alpha one," informed two sniper soldiers, hiding in the bushes by the gardens of the property.

Winfield and his men made the hard climb from the cliffs, going up to the viewing area of the estate. It was the less visible access that they took the hard route to penetrate the mansion.

By the time they reached the estate access, Connor's contacts purposely shut down the power for the entire island, allowing them a few minutes to intrude without alerting the security system, as well as the guards. With their military skills, two groups were swiftly inside the mansion.

Most of the lights were turned off, and since they were only using the generator, power was limited. Moreover, Blake seemed to have put more focus on guarding the outside perimeter of the property.

With a cloth mask over his head and his face, Winfield proceeded with caution, taking slow steps up to the third level of the property. He was holding up a handgun, equipped with a silencer, ready to shoot if it boils down to an encounter.

He and his colleague easily noticed two men on guard, standing by one room.

All the rest of the rooms were not guarded, except for the one a few meters away from them. They had already scanned the second-floor rooms, and this was the only one treated differently.

That gave Winfield the impression that Sarah must be inside.
