Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever-Chapter 580 - Taking Actions - Part 2

For a moment, silence filled the room while the people in it held horrified expressions as they tried to comprehend what they had just learned. It was anything they had expected, and nobody knew how to proceed next. Jared's brutal plan had stumped them all completely when all they had expected was for him to now end up on the execution chair. 𝒇r𝘦e𝘸𝒆𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝘭. 𝒄oｍ

It was not until they heard a phone ring a few seconds after that they came out of their stupor. While Noah left the room to take the call, Maggie immediately called her Deputy to inform her about the matter. And Joshua started to find out who all were in contact with Jared, allowing Maggie to speak to her superior.

If what they had found out was the truth, they now had only an hour or so to stop the deadly attack. And they had to get to work soon for nobody knew what Jared's target locations were.

Valerie was anxiously waiting for Maggie's call, and the moment her phone vibrated, she picked it up immediately. "What have you found out, Maggie? Please tell me I am wrong about this." She almost begged desperately even though she knew that it was not the case.

"I am afraid that you are right, Val. We need to act soon. Jared has planned an attack this time to save his ass from you." Maggie sighed, unable to believe the turn of events. The man who they had expected to now stop all his acts had returned with a bang and what a bang it was. Now, all of them were in a fix and they had to stop this before it became too late.

"Could you find the locations or anything else that might help us stop this attack?"

"I am afraid not. We are still on it. Jared had been careful this time. I assume that he had a hunch that I would be keeping an eye on him. So, he has been discreet in his work. Joshua and I are working on it. We will call you back once we find out anything."

"Keep me updated, Maggie."

"Will do." Maggie leaned over and watched what Joshua was working on before her gaze shifted to Noah, who returned after taking his call.

"That was a call from our men." Noah started, garnering everyone's attention on him. "Some of our men have gone to watch a basketball tournament."

"And..." Ian prompted even though he already had an intuition about what he would be hearing.

"And they saw Jared's men in disguise. They were carrying something with them but our men could not make out what it was. They had it covered." Noah pursed his lips, waiting for his friends to respond, especially Maggie.

"Maggie, I think you need to call your Deputy again. I am not sure if I am allowed to intervene in this matter without her permission." Noah added.

"You can go ahead with what you have in mind, Noah. I will take full responsibility for it. I will explain it to my superiors. Since your men are already at the stadium, it will save us some time. Will they be able to take down Jared's men?" Maggie asked skeptically.

Even though she did not doubt Noah's men, she was still unsure if they could tackle Jared's men for she had witnessed how powerful they were firsthand. Some of them were just monsters, and only she knew how she had survived in a place filled with them.

"Don't worry about it. They are only three while we are around twenty. I don't think three can outwit us." Noah smirked at her and Maggie smiled at him in relief.

"Ask them to be careful. We should not allow to them release the virus at any cost. Since the basketball stadium is closed, almost all the people in it will be infected by it once it is released." Aria warned, and Noah nodded at her before he placed a call to his men, ready to give out his orders.

"If we can subdue his men in time, we can find out the other target locations are and stop this massacre from happening," Ivy mumbled, only to find Maggie shaking her head in denial.

"I don't think that would be happening. If I am not wrong, the men involved in this plan must be the ones Jared trusts the most and his gang follows the Code of Omerta. They will never give away anything about their Master. I am sure they would kill themselves before we can force anything out of them."

Maggie revealed all that she knew about Jared and his gang, rendering the people around her speechless. They wanted to use Jared's men to fight him. But who knew that it would not be happening ever?

"What do you suggest, Maggie? You know Jared better." Aria questioned, reading what Maggie was hinting to them subtly. She was the only one who had seen the look of uncertainty in her eyes and she knew what exactly Maggie wanted to do.

"I want to meet Jared."

"No way." All the men in the room denied her request at once, with Joshua's voice being the loudest.

"I will not allow you to face that bastard again." He snapped at her, his anger coursing through his veins when he imagined what kind of life she might have led when she was undercover in his gang.

"But I have a feeling that he will only tell the truth to me. Even if Valerie agrees to his conditions to set him free, he will not reveal a word about his plan until it is I who he is speaking to."

Maggie had long understood who Jared's mind worked and she knew what game Jared was playing. He was delaying his time brilliantly, allowing his opponents to think that they could still salvage the matter when he had already decided the fate.. Though she was not confident about it, she had an inkling that Jared was waiting for her and it was her who could save the nation from this attack, if at all anyone could.
