Chapter - 84 - Who I am?

The Ellerbrock men in the truck were not on their guard as no movements were seen on the tracking system. Their tracking system was one of the best in the country, and it could pick up all the radio waves and thermal waves around them. The men never thought in their wildest dreams that the Visconties would ever attack them. The drivers hit the break quickly to avoid the collision. The men in the truck were thrown off from their seats. All of them were blank by the sudden interruption in their plan.

The Visconti men stood in their position cautiously. "Wear your masks. Shooters stay alert. Shoot the men as soon as they open the back door of the trucks. Men on the ground, throw the smoke bombs inside as you see a crack in the door." Rick gave orders from the tree top and waited for the men inside the truck to take action. "I am going to cut the communication. Stay alert!" informed Ben as he switched on the signal jammer.

The Ellerbrock men inside tried to contact the backup but soon realized there was no signal in their phones or the walkie-talkie. Both the trucks couldn't communicate, and the men were confused. Eventually, the men inside the second truck decided to fight the attackers and opened the back door quickly. Simultaneously, Rick gave a loud and long whistle again as the third signal. The shooters struck three men as soon as the truck's back door was opened, and the men on the ground threw smoke bombs inside.

The men in the first truck heard the commotion and quickly opened the back door. Rick jumped over top of the truck from the tree as soon as they opened the truck's door. He quickly ran to the backdoor and threw the smoke bombs inside, whereas another set of shooters struck the men inside, who were about to climb down. Rick looked below from top of the truck and saw two men sitting in the back truck looking back at him. Rick waved his hand and shot a long cylindrical tube from his medium-sized equipment.

The Ellerbrock men didn't even get time to realize what was happening, a metal tube pierced through the front glass, and they heard a beep sound. They closed their eyes tightly in fear, assuming that it was a bomb, but to their surprise, a green-colored gas was discharged from the metal tube, making them slowly lose consciousness. The commotion came to a cease soon, and all the men waited for the final signal from Rick.

Rick jumped into the back of the first truck and checked on the men to confirm they were all unconscious. He jumped out and went to check the second truck. After confirming that all the Ellerbrock men were down, he shouted, "Bring our trucks and load the boxes quickly." Two among the Visconti men quickly sprinted forward and signaled the drivers inside their trucks to move, and the rest of the men immediately started to unload the boxes.

Rick walked towards Ben and said, "Keep the signal jammer switched on till we cross the bridge." The Visconti men quickly finished loading the boxes and reported to Rick. Rick instructed the men to stay alert till they all reached the base. "Capo!" called out Ben in front of all the men. Rick looked at Ben questioningly. "How did you know this was the truck we were after?" Rick chuckled and asked, "Where would you get peaches in the winter season?"

The men soon realized, and loud laughter erupted in the silent night. The men soon boarded the truck, but Rick didn't get in. "Capo? Are you not coming with us?" asked Ben as he saw Rick closing the door. "No. The backup team of the Ellerbrock will be here soon. I will distract them. You all go quickly to the base." "But.." hesitated Ben. "Go!" said Rick, through gritted teeth, and the drivers started the trucks immediately.

Rick waited for the backup team in the middle of nowhere as he texted an unknown number. Rick: Package retrieved. 16 men down with tranquilizers. Unknown: Impressive! Tell me the details later.

Meanwhile, in Mrs.Rogers's apartment, "The dinner was delicious. I will definitely have a peaceful sleep now," said Gianna, and conversed with Mrs.Rogers for some time before bidding them goodbye as she left for her apartment. Gianna prepared coffee for her and walked into her study room. She opened the secret compartment and switched on the mobile and the laptop, at the same time.

Gianna typed a few codes, and a secret video portal opened on the laptop screen. Within seconds, the secret investigation team joined one by one. "Helloooo," shouted Aldo. "My ears!" hissed Gianna. Aldo laughed and turned the screen towards Lorenzo and Alicia. "Hey. Gianna" greeted both of them. "I was about to sleep, G!" said Roberto in a sleepy voice.

"I have many matters to discuss with you all, so stay alert!" said Gianna in a serious tone. "Firstly, I have sent you all a diet chart along with the prescription. The diet chart and medication should be strictly followed. No excuses!" Everyone nodded and decided to check the email later. "Why do you have a bandage on your arm, Gianna?" asked Lorenzo. The others also just noticed when Lorenzo pointed it out. "What happened?" asked Aldo with concern.

"I was about to tell you. You all know that Mr. Ellerbrock's grandson is my patient, and there was another attack on him a few days before. Fortunately, I went in at the right time to save Alexi." Gianna explained the rest of the incident in detail. "Why do you always have to butt into all the problems? Why can't you just call for help?" asked Lorenzo. Gianna gave an innocent smile. "What if something serious happened?" asked Lucia. "G! Please don't get hurt again!" said Roberto in a concerned tone.

"Did you all forget who I really am?" asked Gianna with a raised eyebrow.
