Are these the bodies?
A small note for the readers:
Everything written like this *_ _ _ _ _* is the Character's inner thoughts. Enjoy reading 🤗
lana
*Was it a wise decision?*
lana
*Am I scared shitless*
lana
*And how I ended up here? Well… *
"After researching and finding the nearby ports, Lana finds that there are two nearby ports: a domestic port and an international port"
"The DR being Domestic route and IR being International route"
"It was clear for Lana, she had to go to the International Port"
lana
*I don't know what to pack, don't know what is necessary, don't know what is needed, don't know what am I getting into*
lana
*And of course don't know what am I saying*
lana
*Deep breaths Lana, you will be fine*
"With a final deep breath and after stopping herself from panicking more, Lana takes a backpack and packs her phone, a bottle of water, her wallet, a pepper spray and a knife in it."
"That was all she could come up with, if only she knew what she was in for."
"She thought of contacting police but the threat looming over her head stopped her"
lana
*I feel like some character of a thriller story making choices she shouldn't make, but this is life not a story, right?*
"She was ready to go now"
At the main gate of her home
lana
*Here goes nothing, i hope to see you again sweet home. Bye, for now*
"The security was top-notch, no doubt it was an international port"
"Near the security gate, Lana stood. She knew she had no chance going in there with all the security around."
"Lana was just thinking the possible ways to get in when she heard someone"
Security personale
How many active cargos are going to be in this shift?
Security personale
What about that cotton one?
Security personale 2
Which cotton one?
Security personale
That...
Security personale
Oh, yeah! That Grey cottons company
Security personale 2
Private limited. That is private limited.
Security personale
Yeah yeah
Security personale
What of that?
Security personale 2
That is tomorrow
Security personale
No that was today, i remember
Security personale 2
It is tomorrow, I am sure
Security personale 2
How come, the five today are base 847 which is green ltd., 588 which is shagon corp., 858 which is grace international and 909 which is James Corp..........
"That is when the wheels in Lana's mind started turning."
"James Corporation, the company she was employee in just a month ago, she had resigned from that company as she had gotten a better job."
"She searched her wallet and luckily there was her identity card, she thanked her stars for forgetting to take it out of her wallet."
"It was long shot but still a worthy one"
"Just two more people in front of her, and then it would be her turn."
"Her hands were sweaty, lips shaking. It was this or nothing.
"The line cleared it was now her turn.
Lana willed herself to be confident and moved her hand forward, showing her identity card"
"The security guard looked at her, and it felt like everything started happening in slow motion."
"It was that moment Lana knew she was fucked, she was caught when...
Security
Mam you can go in
Security
Mam you are cleared, you can go in
"The man looked concerned"
Security
Mam are you okay?
lana
Yes yes fine, just a little under the weather
"For some reason, the man looked even more concerned"
"It couldn't be Lana's bad acting skills more like over-acting skills, could it be? No way"
"With a final smile to the security man, some might define it as a creepy one, Lana finally entered the port"
lana
*Go Lana go Lana go go, you can do the victory dance later*
lana
*Now base number 858 it is*
"Everything was so busy, everyone was working. People were moving cargo, officers doing security check, guiding workers and all the ruckus."
"Lana was moving towards her destination"
lana
*Base no. 855, 856, 857, and there it is base 858*
"As Lana was thinking of a way to get in....."
Ray
Do you have any idea how late you are?
Ray
I have been searching for you, you are supposed to be present with the checklist in the check post. Go in fast
"Let her in, said the woman to the security. By the looks of it, it seemed like she was someone important."
" Without wasting any time, Lana went in. She didn't know how, but she had gotten an opportunity to get in, and she was not going to waste it."
lana
*Maybe it was for some other Lana cross*
"Lana went in, with all the hotchpotch around nobody paid attention to her and taking this to her advantage, she went and hid behind a railing where she could keep an eye on everything without being noticed."
lana
*If they were waiting for Lana Cross, shouldn't they ask me something?*
lana
*Shouldn't they be waiting?*
lana
*Oh, why is that guy coming here? *
Worker
Miss, move aside.
I have to clean up this area.
"After saving her ***, barely Lana moved on to find a location to hide"
lana
*You are thinking too much of this Lana, just hide*
"It seemed like everybody was preparing for the cargo to arrive."
"Lana waited, maybe she was going to find something when it is 4:00 am, the text definitely said so."
"An hour passed, everything was going smooth. Nothing suspicious"
"One hour, thirty minutes. Still nothing"
"Fifteen minutes more, Lana thought.
"Just when she was getting relaxed again or as relaxed as she can in her situation, the buzzing started and then the chaos."
"It seemed the ship had arrived, everyone started bringing the cargo in."
"It just kept going on and on. Cargo kept unloading"
"Now all she had to do was wait and watch, now she would finally know what was the material and what was the bodies"
"The cargo was finally unloaded, it seemed now any moment she would see it."
"Lana was busy second guessing her decision. She didn't have a choice anymore though, she was in it- through and through"
"The officer in-charge finally gave the order and the cargo boxes opened"
"If it was possible, the lid opened slower than a hero and heroine running towards each other in romantic retro movie, just testing her patience"
lana
*Never knew my heart could pound this fast. Is this world rolling or am I high, is it possible to be high on water? Can heart actually tear out of the ribs by beating too fast? Am I going mad?*
lana
*Do not worry lana, you are hiding*
lana
*Anyway nothing is gonna happen, if it does I have police on speed dial*
lana
*But nothing will happen, be positive Lana *
"The bodies were finally going to be visible"
lana
*These are the bodies?*
"A hand suddenly covered Lana's mouth…"
