As he finished, a sense of relief washed over him. The hard part was over, and he could now report back with the vital information needed. Meanwhile, back at the base, Benjamin was pacing around the room, his mind consumed with anticipation and impatience. With each step, he mentally urged Parker to hurry with his task, knowing that time was of the essence in their investigation. Helen observed Benjamin's restless demeanor and finally spoke up. "What will you use the VIN number for, Benjamin?” Stopping in his tracks, Benjamin turned to face her, his expression focused. "The VIN number is crucial. It will help us trace the car's manufacture and gather important details about its history. With that information, we can piece together the puzzle of what happened and who may have been involved." Helen nodded, understanding the significance of the VIN number in their investigation. "I see. So, it's like a key that unlocks vital information about the car's origins and past.” "Exactly,"
Cipherella's fingers flew across the keyboard as she quickly navigated through various databases and online resources. Within minutes, she turned back to Benjamin, a look of satisfaction on her face."I've got the information you need," Cipherella announced. "Here's the historical data on the truck."Benjamin leaned in, eager to hear the details."Firstly, the ownership history," Cipherella began. "The truck was originally purchased by a construction company in Denmark in 2006. It changed hands twice before the accident in 2009. The second owner was a logistics firm, and the third owner, right before the accident, was an individual named Lars Johansen."Benjamin's eyes narrowed as he absorbed this information. "Lars Johansen... we'll need to look into him further.”Cipherella continued, "As for recall information, there were two recalls issued for this model. One in 2007 for a braking system issue and another in early 2009 for a potential fault in the steering mechanism."Benjamin nod
After successfully logging in and entering her password, to her relief, the system granted her access, and she began her search for Lars Johansen. She input the name into the search field, adding any additional details they had gathered, and waited as the database scanned through its extensive records.Meanwhile, at the bustling shopping mall, Rose and Cordelia were enjoying their day, completely unaware of the two individuals who had been discreetly watching and following them for some time. The shadowy figures lurked at a distance, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike and kidnap Cordelia.Rose and Cordelia had spent hours perusing the stores, their arms laden with bags full of clothing, accessories, and various other items. Cordelia placed all her strange feeling for Rose aside so the two chatted animatedly as they made their way to the counter, their laughter echoing through the store.At the checkout counter, Rose began to reach for her wallet to pay for their purchases.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was with his team, anxiously waiting for the names to load on the computer screen. The progress bar inched forward, showing 25% as they waited for it to reach 100% to identify the person they were looking for. Suddenly, his phone started ringing, breaking the tense silence.Taking it out, he saw Cordelia's name on the screen and smiled lightly before clicking the answer button. "Hey, hun," he greeted warmly."Hello... Hello, Mr. Hayes, this is Rose," came the urgent reply.Benjamin frowned, a sense of unease creeping in. "Rose? Why are you calling from Cordelia's phone? What happened?""Mr. Hayes, Cordelia has been kidnapped!" Rose said, her voice panicky and breathless."What? Kidnapped?" Benjamin exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock. The team members around him turned to look, their expressions mirroring his alarm. "What do you mean by kidnapped?" he pressed, needing to understand the gravity of the situation.Rose, her voice trembling, quickly explained, "We we
The man on the left glanced out the rear window and cursed under his breath. "She's still following us. That car hasn't let up."The driver tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "We need to lose her. Any ideas?""Take the next left," suggested the man on the right, who was peering out the window. "Then we can head down some side streets and shake her off."The driver nodded and sharply veered left, the tires screeching as the car sped through the turn. Rose's car followed closely, refusing to be shaken."She's good," the man on the left admitted grudgingly. "She's not letting us out of her sight.”"Then we need to be better," the driver retorted, accelerating as he spotted a narrow alleyway up ahead. "Hold on."The car darted into the alley, narrowly avoiding dumpsters and stray pedestrians. Rose's car hesitated for a moment but quickly followed, determined not to lose them."Shut up and let me think," the driver snapped. He spotted an upcoming intersection and took another sharp
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a convoy of 20 sleek black cars roared onto the road in a disciplined formation. Their synchronized movement commanded the attention of bystanders and motorists alike, drawing curious stares and murmurs of surprise. They were the men Rakshasha had called to follow Benjamin's instructions. Pedestrians halted in their tracks, their gazes fixed on the imposing procession as it thundered past. The sight of 20 identical vehicles moving sparked a sense of intrigue and wonder among onlookers.Inside each car, three men occupied the back seats, their expressions steely and alert as they gripped their weapons with unwavering resolve. Another man sat in the front passenger seat, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of trouble. At the helm of each vehicle, a skilled driver maintained precise control. "Whoa, look at that!" exclaimed one bystander, pointing excitedly at the convoy of black cars speeding past."Where do you think they're headed?
"Good," Benjamin replied tersely, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. "Accelerate more."With a firm nod, the driver stepped on the accelerator, pushing the car to its limits as they raced towards their target.As they sped through the city streets, Benjamin's hand tightened around the pistol in his grip. It was a Heckler & Koch VP9. The black polymer frame felt solid and reassuring in his hand. As Rose's hands began to ache from the strain of gripping the steering wheel, she dialed Benjamin's number in a panic. "Benjamin, my hands are hurting, and they're pulling away. Where are you?" she exclaimed, desperation creeping into her voice."Rose, please, you're almost there," Benjamin pleaded, his tone urgent. "Keep driving, we're near you. Just a little longer.”Three tense minutes passed before Benjamin's driver spoke up, his voice tinged with excitement. "Boss, look, isn't that her car?" he exclaimed, pointing ahead.Benjamin's eyes locked onto the familiar blue car, and he nodded in r
The driver gritted his teeth, refusing to pull over. "No, we can't pull over. Let's just use the plan. We'll pass through Hulgårdsvej and lose him.""Alright then, do it," one of the men responded, urgency in his voice.Meanwhile, Benjamin's phone rang, and he quickly answered. Rakshasha's voice came through, "Master, my men have blocked the three paths leading to Nordvest, so the kidnappers can't enter Nordvest.”Benjamin nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "Good," he replied. He glanced at the damaged car ahead, its destroyed tire struggling to maintain speed. "You'll regret touching Cordelia," he muttered, anger burning in his eyes."Slow down," Benjamin instructed his driver. "We've got all the roads blocked; let's not push too hard." The driver obeyed, easing off the gas.Inside the kidnappers' car, one of the men looked back and saw Benjamin's car falling behind. He screamed happily, "Yes, they're falling behind! Drive quickly, we must get to Nordvest. The driver, also buoye
