Leo and Lily were entangled in their game of chess. The young man was guiding the little girl and he was very patient with her. After an hour, Kyle came over and said, "Sir, we will be landing in fifteen minutes." Leo nodded and then looking at his sleepy daughter, he asked, "Lily, today, Baba and Ma would be working through the night, would you be able to sleep in the hotel with Zeenat?" Lily asked, "Why can't I come with you?" The young man replied, "The place where we are going is dangerous, and if you are there, we wouldn't be able to handle the task at hand. I know that you really want to go, but wait till you have grown up and then we will travel to such places together. In the morning, I have prepared a surprise for you." Lily frowned and asked, "In the morning there would be no stars, as you promised." Leo frowned, Snow opened her eyes and said, "You can come with us, but you would have to stay back with Zeenat when we are about to get close to the location. You will not be allowed outside the car at that time, and you will be obedient, understood?" Lily thought for a bit and nodded, she was curious as to what the two people wanted to do, but she knew that asking too much won't get her anything. The only thing that she could do was to sit in the car and watch the stars from the window. Lily asked, "Can I have a sunroof in the car? That would allow me to watch the stars easily."

Leo nodded and then held the girl in his arms before kissing her cheeks and helped her settle down in the chair with a seat belt. A few minutes later, the plane landed, and what greeted them was a big motorcade of twenty cars and armed men. Lily was surprised, but she was not intimidated, as she came out of the door, and asked, "Sister Zee, these people work for the same company as you?" Zeenat was surprised, and curious as to how Lily figured this out, and she asked, "How did you find out?" Lily smiled and replied, "They all look at Baba the same way as you and the rest of the uncles do." Zeenat realized that Lily was very observant and she was even taking into account the way people looked at each other. Leo and Snow were walking behind her, and they were smiling as they heard the little girl speak these words. When they were approaching the motorcade, a middle-aged man walked over and saluted Leo and Snow. The young man extended his hand and they shook hands as the middle-aged man said, "Welcome to the Goto Desert." Leo nodded and looking around he suddenly asked, "Do you have their location? Sandor?" The man nodded, and said, "They are in an old fortress located in the desert, around fifty miles from here. However, they have monitoring on that road. It has been confirmed that the place is highly guarded and they have advanced automatic weapons." Snow said, "We can bypass the road, and use the wild desert to enter the premises. What about the security system?" Sandor said, "They have a radar, and also they have a generator that is capable of running the place for thirty days none stop, it is solar powered so if we want to dispose of the generator, it would either need a big bomb or a miracle because it is stored in the most highly guarded positions. From the intel we gathered, we have found that there are probably thirty guards, it could be more." Leo nodded and said, "That won't be a problem, well, firstly, get me a sunroof equipped vehicle, I will take my daughter for Desert Safari and she can gaze at the stars in the night." Sandor was shocked, he took a deep breath, but recalling the killing record of this young man he was compelled to follow his whims. The trio boarded the SUV arranged for them and they took off from the airport. They had booked a hotel, but the couple wanted to settle the Hector situation in the dark of the night. The vehicle drove out of the city and then the entire motorcade took a turn to lead the people through the dark dunes. Leo had to be very careful while driving because the desert in the night could be very unpredictable. They moved silently through the night and Lily enjoyed the ups and downs from the dunes, after two hours, they came to a stop. Leo and Snow got out of the car, they showed Lily the stars, and gradually the young girl fell asleep. Zeenat, Kyle and Jock took the shift to guard the little girl before she was placed inside the vehicle to rest in a safe surrounding, and then they changed into battle gear. Black kevlar, and black tactical clothing, paired with a submachine gun and a handgun for Leo, while Snow took a handgun, and a sniper rifle. Leo was faster and stronger than her, however, she was not weak either. They were accompanied by seven more people, who were going to play the sniper support. The reason why Snow tagged along was mainly to see Hector die with her own eyes. The trauma that he had given her would not settle with anything lesser. After one hour of jogging through the sand, the people arrived in the vicinity of the fortress. Sandor took out a palm sized drone and let it fly over the fortress, leaning in the shade of a dune, Leo could see every detail on a small seven inch screen in his hand. Leo tapped the small button on the side and the image turned into thermal imaging, after a few minutes, he said, "They have less guards on the western side, and it is also where the walls are a bit hotter than the rest of the fortress, that is where the solar batteries are placed, if we move from the east, we will be spotted by the guards." Snow spoke up from the side, "Kill them all, it is that simple, get going the night is at its peak, you will have an easier time. We will use cover fire to divert the sentries." Leo thought about it and nodded before he kissed her forehead and left the dune.
