Della had monitored the time and she realized that it wasn't even up to 10 seconds that Brody went offline.“But why did he go offline just after the message was sent,” Della spoke out but was still deliberating in her mind.“Don’t worry, he probably has to do something. I am sure he will be back online.”The group all had their eyes waiting with anticipation as they hoped that Della was going to come up with the news that Brody had finally come online and give a response.“Or perhaps I should send a follow-up text,” Della suggested, her tone laced with desperation.“That may be a good idea,” Alan responded. “But we have to be sure what we are sending.”“I will just type that I am Rose’s errmmm—”“Rose’s friend,” Alan completed the words for her.“You are right,” Rose remarked. “We really can't tell him that I am her mother. He would be scared. A friend is the best word.”Della’s eyes then moved to her laptop as she prepared to type the response. [I am Rose’s friend][You remember Ro

The message came almost as if it was without him coming online - one second online and the message was already sent.“He just called me a liar,” Della told the others.“I knew it,” Jackson spoke. “I knew that he wanted to make a conformation. He probably went on social media platforms and searched for the name and didn't find it.”“But that’s just an abysmal way of researching someone,” Fred added.“Yeah, it is but what can we say about the kids of today,” Jackson spoke. “The kids of today think life begins and ends at their social media pages and gaming apps.”Jackson scoffed, his nostrils flared with disappointment.“What response should I now give to the boy?” Della asked.“Well, I believe that we have to change his orientation,” Alan spoke. “We can't let him go with the idea that we are lying.”“Should I be more straightforward - tell him that we want to save him,” Della suggested.“No! No!” Jackson exclaimed. “We will soon tell him what our aim really is but we can't just shrug o

[Okay, if you say so][But Rose wouldn't be happy if you did things all by yourself][How is your father, Mr. Lawrence? Do you have anything to tell me about him?]Della, even though she wasn't physically seeing Brody, could feel the fear and uncertainty that he failed to reveal.“He’s not going to respond so quickly,” Della smirked, her face showing expectation even though she knew that she had probably gone too far.Della then turned towards Alan and the others. “I went too far with that, didn't I?”“Er, we can't say you went too far,” Jackson responded. “At some point, we will have to dig deep. We need him to trust us and until we engage him, we won’t get his trust. Worst still, we won’t get anything valuable from him.”Brody, after the delay soon sent another text. [We are done][I am going to bed][Never text me again]Della gaped with a deadly stare of disbelief. “Did you see that? He’s not going to continue. I guess I asked the wrong question.”Alan’s voice injected a sense of

Fred’s words were laced with a suggestive tone. “We can make findings on Mr. Lawrence’s wife after some time but for now, I think we need to focus on getting Brody what he needs - his freedom.”“Okay, I will just send him some words of encouragement,” Della spoke. “I hope this works though. I really hope this works.”[We can talk about it, Brody][Or we can help you solve the situation][I just need you to find some courage right now.]Brody then texted. [We?][Who else is with you?][What else are you not telling me?]Brody wrote the message with a ‘freaking out’ emoji that showed that he was being taken aback.Della also seemed to have received the same energy as she pulled back a bit, her gaze settling on her colleague’s face.Alan whispered, his tone set with encouragement. “Just keep going.”[It’s not a problem, Brody][What matters is—-]Before Della could even complete sending the last message, she received another bump text message from Brody.[I need to know who is with you?]

[Ms. Clara confronted him about not having the right to still have me as an adopted son][She confronted him and warned him to give me up to her as my next legal guardian because she thought his ex-wife was dead][It’s something about laws and regulations I believe][But she said that I wasn't supposed to be with him][Mr. Lawrence was upset that I supported Ms. Clara so he became upset with us both][Now we are both under his detention. We are actually being kidnapped together with his ex-wife][I want to get out as fast as I can][Can you help me.][Are you going to call the police?][They might not believe me if I called them]Della’s pulse was racing and she struggled to process the boy’s words. She could sense the dread of Mr. Lawrence right from where she was and was left grasping with the tension that the boy exuded.Jackson realized that the boy would be making a mistake if he called the police to intervene in the situation so he quickly alerted Della who was absent-minded to

Just while the others were processing Della’s idea in their minds, she suggested again.“We could also pretend to be satellite technicians, you know. We could use fake identifications and work orders to gain entry.”Alan then spoke. “I think that either of them works anyway. The most important thing is to get some ideas from Brody. It mustn’t be something too new to them or else they will be suspicious.”“If technicians don't come around too often and they see us, they will get suspicious but if they have technicians coming around now and then, I believe it will be much easier to blend in and disguise.”“I think we will need to get back to Brody on that.”Della’s fingers moved with a swift, decisive precision, and her thoughts were racing as she looked to get back into conversation with Brody.Her eyes were fixed on the glowing screen as she typed. [Hey, Brody, are you still there?]She waited for about five minutes but there was no response. “See, he’s probably gone asleep,” Della t

“Oh, no. I am not letting you go anywhere,” Mr. Lawrence snarled. “You are a spoilt little boy and you will be shown some lessons.”“You think you now know stuff, don't you? You think you are now a big boy and you can't stay in your place anymore.”But soon, Mr. Lawrence’s ears pricked up, the sound of a ringing phone cutting through the tense silence of the room.The sound was very brief and stopped after about two or three seconds but it was already enough to get Mr. Lawrence’s attention.“What’s that sound?” Mr. Lawrence spoke softly but his voice was laced with a threat. Brody’s heart sank into his stomach the moment he realized that Mr. Lawrence had heard the ringtone.No! What a terrible situation, he thought. But didn't he put the phone on silent mode? Didn't he ensure that it couldn't make a sound? What then was the sound again?Now it was a little too late because Mr. Lawrence had already heard everything.He was in trouble.“I am talking to you, boy. What’s that sound?” Mr

Brody’s heart pounded as he fumbled with the phone, his fingers trembling with nervous energy.The phone’s screen dimmed and the once vibrant display faded into a dull, lifeless gray.Brody’s face was growing pale as he realized that the phone was getting bad.No! No! That can't be.Brody muttered under his breath as if pleading with the phone to come alive.He saw the missed call that happened when Mr. Lawrence was in the room and realized that it was Della.Della had better come to save him immediately because time was no longer on their side anymore. Things were becoming really intense.He tried all possible tricks that he had learned on Y****be social network to fix the phone but there was barely any improvement.The only relief was that he could still type even though it wasn't as effective as before.He quickly went to his chat with Della and saw that she had already sent her a message.[Hey Brody are you still there?]Brody quickly responded, battling with the tough situation w

He was in a hurry to get things done quickly because he knew that it was going to be only a matter of time before the guards would discover that the public service system had been hacked.“When you get on the other side of the purple fence, just hang in there until we come to get you okay?”Jackson’s hands were large and measured, his touch gentle as he took Brody’s hands into his own.“Come on, I will show you the way and then you will complete the move,” Jackson’s voice was soft, his voice sincere as he was careful not to scare the boy with too much haste even though he was in a hurry and rightfully so.They crept until they got to the entrance which was just a few meters away from where they were. Jackson’s eyes were alert as he watched to see that there was no guard close to them that would impede their move.They hid behind the cars, creeping through the shadows with their eyes narrowed with a tense intent to get as far away from view as possible.Jackson then reached a point whe

“Come on, let’s go. We can't just sit here and do nothing after all. We have to do something.”With a grim determination, the guards all filed out of the lobby one after the other, their footsteps resounding through the empty hallways.The tension was palpable in the air as their weapons glinted in the harsh fluorescent light.Their bodies were taut with adrenaline as they headed towards their destination.Alan’s face glimmered with a relieved twinkle of gratitude the moment he saw that the guards had all gone.He then whispered to Jackson. “Hey, Jackson. Call Fred now and tell him to his way to the purple fence area. That’s the easiest route out of here. Tell him to get there as quickly as possible. That’s where Brody would have to go meet him.”Brody was confused, his face darting left and right as he was trying to understand what Alan was saying.Where was he saying that he was going to go? Since when did the plan become that he was going to go somewhere?Alan crouched down, his fa

“No one, I believe. You see what I am saying. What if they already got past this place and they are already heading outside.”“Think about it, I don’t think they would want to escape through the outside. Look at the way that they came in. We didn’t even know. None of us knew until they got to the top floor and killed two guards.”“It’s obvious they are trained so we have to think along the line of the fact that they are more than prepared for this.”“They probably outlined every step of the way before they came.”“Not probably, man. They did, it’s quite obvious.”“I guess it’s a draw right now. Mr. Lawrence already has one of them while they have gotten Brody.”“We must get back Brody, man. That’s the instruction. Mr. Lawrence has ordered a closure of all entry points right now and it is already in process. Everything must be on lockdown until Brody is found.”“We can’t afford to fool around.”“What if they are holed up in one of the offices? We should search each room systematically.

Mr. Lawrence then moved his eyes closer to Della’s face to get a clearer view of what was going on.“Wait, what? You look familiar,” Mr. Lawrence’s eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing into Della with the intensity of a predator sizing up its prey.His expression was hardened as a cruel smile spread across his face.“You look awfully and strangely familiar I must say,” Mr. Lawrence remarked again.He wasn’t sure of whether to keep up with his suspicion or to ignore it. He was sure that there was something about her that was too strange to ignore.It dawned on him that the person that she traced her face to was actually that of Rose Billing, the same woman that he murdered.He paused once more and spoke. “I know who you are, don’t I?”Della’s lips curled very slightly by the side as if she was trying to give Mr. Lawrence the clue that he needed.And Mr. Lawrence picked up the clue. He was shocked by the resemblance that Della had with Rose and even though he tried to ignore it as nothing b

“You are Brody, aren’t you?” Alan asked.The boy nodded in affirmation. Jackson’s grip on Brody’s hands loosened and Brody’s shoulders were relaxed gradually even though he knew subconsciously that there were most likely going to be some problems lying ahead.“I know you,” Brody spoke to Alan. “I saw you the other day when Mr. Lawrence killed Rose. You are Rose’s husband right?”Alan paused as if he was in a deep emotional thought before he then nodded.“Yes, I was.”It was a moment of reflection for both Alan and Brody as they both seemed to have missed Rose.Brody didn’t get to spend much time with Rose but it was obvious that the little time that he had spent with her was more than enough for him to miss her for a lifetime possibly.“And Della, the lady who texted on the phone. Are you her partner? Do you work with her? Where is she?” Brody asked.He was in a hurry to receive answers to his questions because he was still a little bit scared.“She is going to be with us soon, Brody

The air seemed to thicken with tension, the silence broken only by the faint click of gun safeties being engaged.Alan then whispered into his radio, hoping that he was going to connect with Della. “Della, are you there? We are about to open fire on the guards who want to lock Brody in the basement. We are going to need backup, over.”That was all Alan needed to say and he believed that he had said enough already.They moved a few more steps with deadly precision, their footsteps soft and stealthy as they crept closer to the guards. They saw as the guards were shoving and dragging Brody and this time, they were going to lock him into the basement.They were no longer interrogating him about the phone because there were bigger issues to deal with.But Alan and Jackson thought that it was time to raise a response.The guards burst the basement door open and were prepared to shove Brody into a dark room but there was a sudden startling noise of gunfire.Pow! Pow!Boom!The hail of bulle

Alan was just a few feet away hiding behind one of the pillars. The moment she saw the harsh slap that was performed against the boy, he gritted his teeth in frustration as he became provoked to cause a disruption.Why would they treat such a young boy like that? He had to hold and keep himself in check so that they would stay according to plan.But considering the way he was feeling, he wished that he could just start a gunfire right away. He began to rethink whether it was best to engage the guards with gunfire right away or if they should wait a while until Brody got locked in the basement and they would try to open it up.Just as he was still having a deliberation in his mind, the guards continued with their harsh treatment toward the boy.“Yeah, right, we are not stupid,” Guard two spoke. “Look at the faces of all of us standing here.”Brody’s face was still facing the ground as he was dealing with the harsh effect of the assault but he felt a hand shove his head back up so that

Alan and Jackson froze in place, his breath caught in his throat as he clung himself to the wall. His heart pounded in his chest as he heard the guards’ footsteps growing closer.Time seemed to be very slow as the guards drew nearer, their footsteps echoing off the walls of the hallway but Alan gripped his weapon tightly just in case the situation was going to demand it.But as they got closer, two other guards joined them. They now seemed to be five and they were discussing.Alan and Jackson were picking up on their conversations.“The boss said to keep him in the basement.”“There are many ways that the boss can get the boy on his side. After all, he is his son. I don’t see why there should be an issue between them.”“The boy is a cool guy to me.”“This isn’t about whether he is a cool guy or not. We should listen to what the boss says.”“Come on, this is not to say that I wouldn’t listen to what he says. I am only telling you as a colleague that there is no need for being so harsh

Fred was ready to go for it all. “If you need our main ID badge, my colleague can go them now. She will get mine too but I was hoping you would already know the company we are coming from. We already have a contract here.”The guard who was talking balderdash earlier scurried into the conversation. “But I haven’t seen you guys before. Especially the bright-skinned darling we have here. I would have known if I had seen her before.”Fred responded. “Well, we are not always the same and I am sure you already know that. Today, it is our shift to come to complete the repairs and as we said, we are actually running out of time.”“My colleague can quickly go and get the ID badges if that is what is delaying us from entry.”Fred was speaking with the hope that the guard was going to shrug off the situation and ask Della not to worry.But he needed to show that he wasn’t hiding something and the only way that he could do that effectively was to pretend as if everything was going fine and as ex
