Chapter 117: Attack On Her

Jason placed his hands on his hips and looked at Anya. She has to handle the ship case in Coastal city and the hard disk case in the capital city. Meanwhile, she has to work on finding the mole in Secretariat, "Officer Owen is more occupied than me." He mused. That rarely happens.

Anya turned to Jason and almost whined, "Chief…" and the man ran away without letting her complete. He waved his hand after stepping out of the room. "I have got you a mobile. It's on the desk. See you in the Capital."

Anya: "..."

'Tap… tap… tap…' Nobody is letting her breathe in relief.

'Ahem,'

Anya stopped smacking herself with the file and looked at the Commanding officer of the police agency who cleared his throat and stood up while hiding his smile. He hadn't expected to work with such a young lady officer.

He fetched a card from his wallet as he spoke, "Officer Owen, let me know when you choose the cops. I will arrange for them and an office for you. About your stay in the city…"

Anya cut in, "Commissioner Brown, my stay in the city will be a secret. I will arrange it myself. I will revert to you by the evening about the cops. My identity…"

"Won't be known to anybody." He completed her words and passed her his card. Both shook hands, "Looking forward to working with you, Officer Owen." He genuinely confessed to her.

"Pleasure is mine." She politely responded and he left.

Anya grabbed the mobile, her first thought was to call her son but held back because it would be night in the country they were staying in. She opened the chat with Melvin, [Officer Melvin, could you send me the consolidated list of Coastal city cops when you have some time?]

The response came quickly, [There you go.] There was an attached file with it.

Anya smiled, it seems like Melvin expected Anya to take complete control over the mission including the little cases that have opened. So he was prepared. 

[Thank you. I will treat you to a meal.] She was polite like always.

However, a message popped in a group chat, [Skye, that's not fair.]

Anya guessed Senon took a peek at Melvin's mobile, [+Senon]

[Anya Owen!!!] The boisterous lady showed her grumpiness.

[+Luna, +Officer Paxton, +Chief] She didn't leave the other two.

Melvin: "..."

Anya closed the chat screen. She started going through the details Melvin sent her and started choosing the cops. It wasn't a difficult part but a crucial step. As she couldn't be in Coastal city all day.

She heard hurried footsteps from the corridor and saw a military uniformed man hurriedly going towards the officer. She recalled she didn't have the walkie talkie so Major Reth couldn't contact her directly. 

The man informed her, "Officer Owen, PSR entered the coastal water. Major Reth is requesting your presence."

Anya shoved the mobile into the pocket of the overcoat, took the file, and walked out without wasting time. She jogged with the man and entered the elevator. "Is everything under control?" She generally asked.

The man's expression changed a bit, "I am not sure, Officer Owen. Major Reth's expression wasn't good." He responded with what he knew.

Anya merely nodded understanding he didn't know. She didn't trouble him with more questions and held back from thinking anything. Getting out of the elevator, they went out of the building. She was jogging towards the next building where the naval coastal network department had set up the communication center to communicate with all the military speed boats that were on the sea. 

She felt somebody running towards her so she slowed down and took a look to her right. Her brows ceased looking at an anxious Jason rushing towards her from the other side of the road. Jason was a cool-headed man, hence his expression caught her eyes. She halted in her footsteps so the military man turned to her.

Jason shouted, loud and clear, "Lie down." His commanding voice caught everyone's attention from around.

Without hesitation, Anya quickly lay on the ground in one swift move without caring about the pricking ground. At the same time, she instructed the man next to her, "Get Down." But the man was confused for just a second.

'Snap'

"Ahh…" The man flew a few steps away and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. 

Jason's Jeep wrangler which took a U-turn quickly rushed and blocked Anya whose body had turned cold as ice. The fear flickered in her eyes looking at the blood. Her heart hammered against her chest at the sudden commotion. Her mouth left open in a silent scream but no word came out of her lips. She didn't dare to think of the consequences if Jason hadn't come there. 

Nearby military men rushed to the man whose arm was punctured with a sniper's bullet. Jason reached Anya, "Anya…" 

Before he could help her get on her feet or console her, the fear disappeared from her face as if nothing happened. She stood up with the car still blocking them. She calculated the direction and looked towards the building. She was right, something was really fishy in the container site, especially the ones which were stacked.

She tried to rush towards the man who was speaking with her just a few seconds back. Jason held her back in position to keep her under the shield of the car. She was clear-headed to avoid more trouble, "Take him to the infirmary." She instructed the military men who were busy with first aid.

The man who was shot flinched in pain but he held back his grimace and instructed his comrades, "Escort Officer Owen safe to the control room." Since he was tall, the aim at her head pierced his arm as soon as she lowered. So he knew her life was in danger.

Major Reth, who heard the commotion outside, came out of the control room. He was responsible for everyone's lives there so he didn't let go of even the smallest commotion.

In the blink of an eye, the series of boot steps proceeded towards Anya and she was surrounded by eight armed military men for her protection as they weren't sure in which direction she might be attacked again.. They eagerly looked around to find anything odd to take action immediately.
