Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 592 Meeting-2

" Pretty cautious, he must be one called Ahmed. The right hand man." Steve thought observing him. It was a right choice to worry for the leader but when his son was right in front of him, overflowing emotions could ignite one's protectiveness still Steve decided to intervene.

" You don't need to worry about him being wired or something. If I really wanted to kill you guys, you wouldn't have seen it coming." It was a direct threat. Daris looked at his son, he wasn't wearing anything bulky where one could hide something but more than that, he knew his son would never try to harm his people even if he was facing death.

But there was a chance of him being manipulated because of his pure heart but seeing him hide behind the big man called Steve made him aware that he trusted him to some extent.

" You bastard! you think you can do as you like coming to our home!" Someone exclaimed. Those who understood him began threatening him to which Steve only smirked at them making them even more mad.

Suddenly someone hit him at the back of the knee almost making him fall.

" Who the fuck-" Steve turned back to see, Drac pointing a gun at him. He was confused for a second.

" It's fine don't mind him. If you want him dead he is yours but don't take it out on normal people like us."

" You bastard! Are you switching sides?" Steve got back and snatched the rifle out of his hand but because it was hanging with a belt it only made Drac fall on top of him making things more awkward.

" Fuck! You bastard! Let go of my gun!"

" Get off me first! Ow ow, your knee what your knee, it's crushing my thing!"

" I don't care when you are actively trying to get us killed! What's good is your junk with you blowing up in smithereens? But I promise, I will carry it back as a momento!"

" Cho! Cho! Help me! This motherfucker has finally lost it!"

" Why are cursing instead of begging for forgiveness? Maybe I need to put more pressure on it."

" Ow, ow, bitch! I will kill you!" They began rolling around on the ground with everyone else watching their 'show' with dismay. They couldn't believe the brave man standing in front of tens of gun barrel was same as the goofball wailing like a little girl.

Cho sighed, he knew Steve must have observed something that made him sure they weren't the enemies or else he would never act silly on the battlefield potentially endangering his team members.

" Don't worry about them, Let's go and greet your father." Cho tapped Hamza's shoulder to awoke him from the dilemma. It was his first time seeing Steve whom he considered a veteran soldier acting like a 'child.'

"Hmm."

" And just to make it clear don't try to imitate two of them because they are crazy. Avoid the other members too but you can learn from the best that is me." Cho said with a kind smile but, it looked a lot scary because anyone could tell it was fake!

In that exact moment, Hamza realized how absurd everyone was outside the village!

...

...

...

" Is this true? You....." Hamza told his family everything as he promised Steve. Steve, Drac and Cho were made to wait outside in a small shed at the edge of the village with Ahmed supervising them while Daris left with him son and quickly brought him home.

His mother almost passed out hearing that his son almost got killed, if Steve and others were trigger happy people Daris would only find his son's corpse laying beside all the ones that they discovered in that dark room.

With no sight of who did it to his son, he would have gone to their rival group to wage war only to put the whole village into conflict and it would all have happened because Hamza decided to sneak out to pursue 'justice' like a fool!

" Mother! Mother! I am sorry! I will never do it again." he rushed to her side and started sobbing seeing how much he made her worry. In one day, she seemed to have withered with worry!

" You said they came from the refugee camp down south? Is that where they took the other captives?" Daris asked. As a husband he was worried about his wife but he had to deal with a lot quickly.

Emergence of new force along with potential human trafficking bases? Until yesterday everything was calm but he felt a new storm brewing in the horizon.

" They are not connected to them only briefly making their own base nearby. Steve only told me that they were on a mission hunting down their enemies and their next target happened to be the coordinates that we got." Daris wasn't so sure hearing his son's explanation.

Why would they help strangers even if they were on a supposed mission? Wasn't it cheaper to leave them to their own devices after cleaning out the camp?

" Do you know who they are working for? What was the refugee camp like? Did you see the people-"

" You have to believe me! They are not bad people. Even when I shot few of them-" Hamza let the cat out of the bag.

" You shot them?!" Daris didn't know what to say.

" I only injured few of them. Steve told me-"

" Which one is this Steve?"

" The one that came to talk to you."

" Ok, I am going out."

" Husband..."

" Father..."

" Stay and take care of your mother. Let me deal with this." Daris simply left and headed toward the outskirts. He saw the other kids that went with Hamza being surrounding by their own families.

Even the other young mans were gathering beside them wanting to hear what they went through. He thought about questioning them too but decided not to disturb them with how excited they were telling their findings.

He saw Ahmed waiting outside with ten of his men and pulled him aside to tell him everything he had learned from his son.

" That's unheard of...what are you going to do?"

"....Just follow me to meet them but don't say anything and let me talk alright?"

" Of course."
