"I have now the Warrant!" Prosecutor Roy Ruba waved the paper in the police office.

"Boys, if they will resist and fight, the President of the Philippines ordered us to get them dead or alive." Senior Superintendent Joseph Sanchez said.

They storm the office of Chief Inspector Isagani Banot, but he was not there. He escaped. The prosecutor's team get all the papers, files, and anything that may be used for investigation.

"Where is Isagani Banot?" Prosecutor Roy Ruba asked.

There is vehicle movement in the suspected safe house being monitored to be a drug storehouse.

"Lockdown these areas no one goes in and out." SPO4 Bob Cuna instructed the SAF(Special Action Force)

"Search and arrest anybody inside for interrogation."

There was maneuvering going inside.

There was a tunnel going to the river.

A police helicopter sighted a speed boat escaping from the area.

There was a gunfight inside the compound. "Two officers down, They have a sniper." The sound from the two-way radio.

"Find the snipers" was the order to the SAF snipers.

The resistance was strong. They have powerful guns.

"Order the bird(helicopter)to pursue the speed boat and identify the escaping suspects. Neutralize the safehouse immediately." Sanchez ordered the ground troops.

Juan is going to the area of action when Ruthie called his phone. He answered through his Bluetooth. " Kuya(Elder Brother), Dad was held hostage and some of the staff in the farm office. Hohoho" Ruthie crying.

"Can you see them, are you safe?" Juan asked.

" They did not see me, I'm here in the compost pit. I'm on my belly covered by dried leaves. I was taking a fertilizer when it happened so I hide in the compost pit, it's just good that it is not so bad in odor not like last month." Ruthie explaining.

Juan does not know where to go first. He stopped the motorcycle.

He called Mr. Rollo and Chief Sanchez as he usually addresses him that.

"Sir my family was held by armed men on the farm. I'm not sure if this is related to this case." Juan sends the text to them both because they can not be contacted because their lines we're busy instructing the ground troops.

Upon receipt of the information, another helicopter was sent to the farm by Chief Sanchez.

Mr. Rollo also sends his best-reserved guards to the farm with instructions to contact Juan for his command.

Juan speeds his Yamaha YZF R3 300cc motorcycle going to the farm going in the backside of the office which is in the west. He silently gets the CAA(Command Arms Accessories) Micro RONI Stabilizer Glock 32 Pistol Carbine from his backpack and crawled and crouched went to the direction of Ruthie and get her from the pit undetected and send her to a safe place away from the farm. When Ruthie is safe, "Where is Paulo?" Juan asked.

"I don't know," Ruthie answered.

Juan received a text. " Eagle1 we are near the farm area, we are 20 trained guards with M16, tear gas and 2 sniper rifles on board two armored vehicles. where do you want us to approach?"Falcon1

"Meet me in the plaza basketball court," Juan replied.

The helicopter was surveying the area from above.

"We have the advantage because I know the area and the terrain. We are fighting against time.

The cellphone ring, from Tony's phone used by the suspects.

"Hello" Juan answered.

"We will kill everyone if you will not surrender yourself here in the office." The voice from the hostage-taker.

"What do you want?" "We want you dead." It's your father, brother, and friends if you will not go here after 20 minutes, the time starts now. 10:20 at 10:40 they will be all dead.

" OK, OK I'm going there, I'm still here in the City proper(an alibi), It will take about an hour to reach there."Can you give me one hour please I'm going now? OK, for one hour. The phone hangs.

"We have 30minutes to finish this. This is the farm map. Snipers position here, The ten will position 100 meters from the office five will position from our house, three will use the armored cars as blocking force in the road with machine guns each. One car positioned in the northbound road the other in the eastbound road. one will focus on me unseen with DL Q33 sniper rifle.

We will surprise them. After 30 minutes, you are on your positions secretly. I will arrive at 10:30 AM. I will distract them. then when the hostage is secured we will arrest them or put them to rest. Anywho will escape will be pursued by the police helicopter.

" Dear God please protect us and don't let evil win today, amen" Juan prayed with the troops.

"Let's go save my father," Juan shouted.

All on a fast move, silently and strategically.

Juan arrived on his motorcycle in front of the farm office. The man inside commanded that he take away his shirt to expose any gun.

His guns we're in the back of the office to be thrown in case he needs it already by a guard.

Juan went inside the office hands in the air, no guns, no shirt.

He sees his father kneeling, mouth and nose bleeding, hands and mouth taped.

He sees Paulo's hands and mouth taped.

The staff were inside the other room all hands and mouth tapes, 6 of them

The signal was for Juan to hold his hands together above his head.

When Juan knows the positions, the suspects do not know that the pen in the left pocket of his maong pants has a camera. The guards see everything. Juan his hands held up in the air clasp together.

Crash... the glass window breaks, a smoke grenade penetrated inside the office, then when nobody can't see, Juan takes his thermal scope in his back pocket and he can see the form of his father he take him to safety telling him to be at his belly, also Paulo and the rest of the staff. As Juan was doing this one of the five men shoot through the smoke hitting Juan in the abdomen, and one of the suspects was hit by his companion. Juan fell down, The five was already shooting with each other because of the thick smoke. The sniper with thermal scope Killed the two in a headshot.

Juan shouted all are safe. The snipers and the men surrounding the office went inside and one by one the suspects fell dead.

Juan tried to stand but the pain in his abdomen is so strong. The guards cut the tapes in the hands and mouth of all the hostages.

Tony and Paulo were crying looking at Juan who collapsed.

after the smoke was already thin. They were all shocked and surprised because Juan who was bathing in blood sat down and smiled.

"All are clear!"

"I thought you are dead!" Tony said.

Juan said: "I have a thin kevlar formed like my abs with a cancelled bulletproof vest that looks like my abs and skin tone"

"This is bulletproof but still, it hurts, see the bullet here in my stomach? The blood in my body was from the suspect when he was hit in the head." Juan said.

The helicopter with the Special action forces arrested Isagani Banot but eight of his bodyguards died.

The prosecution will start the cases moving.

" Juan, what happened?" Jacky crying.

"Ruthie informed me," Jacky added.

"It's a long story, my love," Juan said.

"Juan, you are not telling me something. Why? I'm angry with you. You are putting everyone in danger." Jacky said and hang.

Juan tried to call back but she can't be contacted.
