As we approached the location, I signaled for a halt, my hand held high.
"Stay alert," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "Our target is just ahead.”
The house loomed before us.

The time for negotiations had passed.
We would fight and we would succeed.

My heart pounded in relief when I saw my son after so long, sitting near me, albeit he was bound just like I was and his face was red and blotchy with tears.
