The car stopped and Kenzie heard the leader shout, "Drag her inside quickly! Hurry up and move! They are still on our tail so we need to lose them fast."

  "I will bring her," Harry interrupted as he held Kenzie and helped her out of the car carefully instead of letting the hooligans drag her out.

  "What is this that I'm seeing? Are you her lover boy?" The man they called Boss Snake teased them and he followed it with a scornful laugh. Kenzie felt Harry's grip tighten on her.

  Harry removed her blindfold as soon as they were inside the abandoned building. They had traveled for about 30 minutes only, so she assumed that they were still somewhere around the Capital City.

  With rising horror, she noticed that there were other cars parked inside the building. Kenzie knew it would be tough to locate them if they climbed inside another car and left. It seemed that Karen had hired professionals who knew how to execute their job perfectly.

  But she was hoping that Daryl or the police who might be tailing them, manage to get to this location in time and check out all the possible exit routes.

  She looked around and there was nothing she could do. Maybe she could stall for some time?

  "I need to pee!" she shouted through the leader seemed to ignore her. She saw him signaling to one of the men who approached Kenzie and suddenly picked her up and carried her like a sack of grain on his shoulder.

  "Put me down!" she shouted.

  Harry was caught off guard and reminded the man, "Be careful and make sure she's not hurt. She's pregnant."

  "Shut up, lover boy!" the leader hissed.

  "We need her for me to get my mother back! If Daryl finds out that his wife has been hurt then my mother will be in danger too!" Harry screamed.

  "Oh, really! Just move your ass Loverboy. One more word from you and my deal with your mother is off! I bet gorgeous here could give us even better offers," said the leader and he followed it with an evil laugh.

  Harry's face turned pale. He now regretted following his mother's instructions. Dealing with a man like this was very risky. Harry cursed as he chose to stay quiet while they waited inside the car.

  "Boss. They left a message saying Karen is now with them. They are asking where we want to do the exchange," one of the men on the computer commented.

  There was silence as everyone waited for further instructions.

  "Alright, let's proceed with plan A. Give them the location, date, and time to meet. Tell that man that I will kill his wife if he tails us again or comes to the meeting place with any police or military! I want only him and Karen on site!" The leader grunted.

  Daryl and the military arrived at the abandoned building but there was nothing. Daryl could feel his body slowly dying as the rescue prolonged even longer.

  "Search all the cars that have left the premises!" the rescue team leader instructed. Soon after they identified a total of 10 cars from the CCTV footage.

  "Don't lose any one of those cars. One of them is carrying the victim," Daryl heard the leader convey over their radio.

  He looked at his mobile phone with a trembling hand as he waited for any answer about his messages regarding the exchange.

  Soon the car carrying Karen inside it arrived at the site. She was wearing an arrogant smile as she was moved into the car with Daryl.

  "I saw this coming. In the end, you're just like your mother. Everything will just end in failure and surely I will have the last laugh." Karen mocked but Daryl ignored her as his hands fisted into a ball. He closed his eyes to control his emotions or he might kill the witch, seated to his back, right on the spot!

  His mobile phone beeped and he read the message.

  He showed it to the leader.

  "Who are we following?" Daryl asked.

  "We are just roaming around while waiting for confirmation about the car carrying Kenzie. Don't worry, we will rescue her in time. We just need to be precise in this matter and make sure that the kidnappers do not notice that we are still tailing them," the leader explained.

  "They want to wait two more days for the exchange?" the leader commented.

  "What?!" Karen interrupted. No! Why wait for two more days when they are already here!

  "I need a phone. I need to call that bastard! I need to talk to him or he will change plans! I'm sure by now he is researching? Kenzie's properties, Dammit! Your wife must have said something to trigger such a reaction!!!" Karen barked.

  Boss Snake loved money and Karen had made an offer he could not refuse for the job. That stupid Kenzie must have opened her mouth and jeopardized everything by handing that sly demon an idea that she had more to offer than Karen!!!

  Daryl remained silent hoping that the case was not as Karen suggested.

  "We need information about the men you hired, Karen, or else you might not be able to see your son alive if what you are saying is true. Harry will be of no use to them very soon. It's just a matter of time before they throw him out, dead, from their premises, don't you think?" Daryl grunted.

  Karen was silent but she was cursing silently. She had not wanted her son to get involved but this was her last resort, to get out of prison and escape with her son.

  "Time is running out Karen, so you must tell us everything you know about that group!" Daryl hissed.

  Karen did not waste time and gave Daryl and the rescue team leader the details about the men she had the agreement with.

  After checking with their intel, they realized that the group was on the wanted list of both the police and military. These men needed to be caught, either dead or alive. But the group had so far been hard to bring down because of their high-tech capabilities.

  "We need a hacker who can work undercover." the leader whispered.

  Daryl immediately dialed Liam's number. Liam's stepmother had a background of a genius hacker within the underworld.

  "Don't worry, Mom Chelsy will help you out," Liam assured them and immediately relayed everything to his stepmother Chelsy.
