Never Judge

Cedric was sitting in the living room of his Mountain View mansion, waiting for Dave and Mien to arrive.

He had asked Leon and John to join them as well since they were needed to execute this part of the plan flawlessly.

All eyes would be at the Police Station where his friends were currently stuck at. He needed to do two things, bring in more of his men to guard the prisoners, and to get his friends and Lucius Ting out as quietly as possible.

He had already formed a plan, but he wanted to get everyone else's opinions on it.

As much as he wanted to keep his wife in the dark and protect her, Adrianna had insisted on joining the meeting.

One by one his men arrived as they sat around the coffee table. Cedric had decided to have their meeting at a more relaxed location rather than to hold it in his office. Too much of the rigid environment sometimes restricted his people's ideas.

"Now that we are all here let's get down to business." Cedric said with a nod as he quickly caught everyone up to the situation at hand.

Once he was done, the first to speak was Dave.

"Do we know their full names?" Dave asked.

Cedric knew that his assistant wanted to look into their backgrounds so that they could at least be more prepared to face the two dangerous people in the police station.

"Unfortunately, we don't." Cedric said as he shook his head. "I can't give you a detailed description of how they look either since I was crouched behind the bushes in the park."

Leon and the others silently nodded as they considered their options.

"We can check the cameras!" Mien said as he came up with an idea. "They should have been captured by at least one camera, they can't be that good."

"There should be some around and inside the police station." Leon said with a nod as he thought of which resources to tap.

"I think there are cameras on the road as well." John suggested. "There should be around the area where we picked the boss up."

"I'll see with my contacts." Leon said with a nod.

"We can match their facial features with whatever we have on file." Dave told Cedric.

"And if they aren't in the police records? I doubt these people even have priors." Cedric knew that the Rajas would send people that were practically untraceable to attack. They wouldn't risk the chance of being tracked down.

"There are other records we can use." Leon said with a confident smile as he started typing away on his phone, checking with his connections.

"Can we trust them?" Cedric asked his head of security.

"I wouldn't approach them if I wasn't sure." Leon said in a more serious tone. Cedric knew that his people didn't like being questioned, but they also understood his worries.

"Good." Cedric said, giving his approval.

"The next thing we need to do is to get more of our forces in there and to get Alexi and the others out. There are too many of them inside to use the path I took and it holds too many variables to transport Lucius Ting through that way." Cedric told the people with him.

"I'm sure you already have a plan." Adrianna told her husband as she gave him a knowing smile.

"I do." He said with a nod. "But I want to get everyone else's insight on the plan since this cannot fail, we do not have room for any mistakes with this one. If we fail then the Rajas will know that we captured their people."

Everyone simply nodded as they waited for Cedric to tell them about his plan.

"I am sure that they have people planted among the crowds, whether they are acting as bystanders or as members of the press, there will be people there." Cedric told the others. "I plan on sending several vehicles in and out of the police station complex, but they cannot have anything to do with the police."

"So are we speaking delivery trucks and ambulances here?" John asked in an amused tone.

"Yes." Cedric said, much to everyone else's surprise. "But we also need for the Rajas to think we might be transporting goods into the police station as well as we want things to seem normal. So, we still need inmates being brought in and out of the station."

"They obviously aren't going to walk out of the front door, right?" Mien asked.

"The Rajas will be watching the back exit closely as well as any exit that isn't the main one." Cedric informed them.

"How do you plan on getting everyone out right in front of the media's eyes?" Adrianna asked her husband, clearly confused by his plan.

If the Rajas didn't spot them, the media would. There was no escaping them from the front entrance.

"We swap them and disguise them. As for Lucius Ting, we will need to be able to hide him and roll him into one of the trucks or vans." Cedric suggested.

"I think you should send some men to enter through the back entrance as well. It will make the Rajas think they have the upper hand." Leon suggested.

"I can get us the vehicles we need, I'll see which delivery trucks and ambulances frequent that police station. It shouldn't be too hard to find out." John volunteered.

Cedric simply nodded in response knowing that his driver was a lot more capable that most people thought.

John was no simple man, the reason he was hired to be Cedric's driver was because of his own abilities and connections.

"We'll arrange everything else, when should we move?" Dave asked Cedric.

"I want them out by tonight." Cedric said with a stern tone. "The longer they are in that police station the more dangerous it gets. Bring them here as soon as possible, I don't want people being too far off."

Everyone nodded at Cedric's instructions and got up to do as he asked.

He then turned to his wife and gave her a kind smile.

"I know you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, I know I've been missing a lot, I want to be there tomorrow with you." Cedric announced, surprising his wife.

"Are you sure? Shouldn't you be working on getting the Rajas?" Adrianna asked.

Cedric shook his head and pulled her into his arms.

"We will never truly have a peaceful life, the fact that I run the biggest company in the country means I have a lot of enemies. I don't want to miss out on the important things just because someone is threatening to hurt us. I want to be there for you and our children." As Cedric said this he planted a kiss on her head and simply enjoyed the temporary peace around them.
