Her eyes widened as he locked gazes with a familiar face—which he recognize as one of the men from Rivals clan, lurking in the shadows just outside.He instinctively leaned over to Daniel his voice barely above a whisper. "Daniel, we have a problem. One of the men from Rivals clan is here, watching us. We're not as discreet as we thought.

Alejandro exchanged a quick, determined glance with Queency, silently conveying their shared resolve, Queency gave a nod and taking the team with her, went towards the opposite direction. They knew that within this hidden domain lay the answers they desperately sought. Alejandro approached a security checkpoint, he smoothly presented his badge. The guard merely glanced at the badge before waving him through.He approached the main office after informing the secretary who let him through, his hand on the door handle as he pushed the door open. He was shocked to see a woman on a mahogany chair though her back was faced to him. He quickly masked the shocked look on his face and walked inside closing the door behind him, if his memories served his right the last time he was here, it was a handsome yet broad man with dark hair and the name tag on the desk read "Mr Derek Amazon" he could clearly remember the name because the man was kind to him and treated him better than his father ever
Carmichael's smirk widened, revealing a cruel glint in his eyes. "I admire your bravery, Lindsey, but it is misplaced." He said. "I do not want to hurt you, but I will if I must."Lindsey flinch at his threat, her heart was racing. She had never seen someone like this before, so cold and ruthless. She could not let him harm her, she had to do something. But what? She glanced around , looking for anything that might help her. Her eyes scanning her environment for anybody that can help her, but the only people she was seeing was him and his men. She gave a defeated sigh. Carmicheal saw the look on her face, and with a smile advanced towards her, his movements slow and measured. "I can see you have made up your mind." He said, his voice calm and smooth completely different from before. "Good."Lindsey tightened her grip as the men made way for her, allowing her to walk inside on her own as they walked round her giving her no room for escape. They reach the room that she ran away from.
The police officer in question gave an annoyed sigh. "Mrs Katherine, we have told you times and times again that we will call you as soon as we find your daughter's killers." He replied quite grim."It is almost going to three months, and you guys till haven't found out who killed my baby or the whereabout of her best friend Lindsey." Mrs Katherine replied bereft."We are doing our possible best, but we don't have any lead since the CCTV camera in from of the mansion was tampered with," He exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice".. whoever it id that killed your daughter , they are really good at hiding their trail.""You have been saying that for months now." She yelled out, crying hysterically.The police officer sighed and tried to console the woman. "Mrs Katherine, I know it is hard to loose a loved one, but please you have to be patient with us. We are doing everything we can." He tried to explain, but Mrs Katherine wasn't buying it."You guys can't even do your job right." Sh
They both thanked her, and she disappeared into the back room again. Queency picked up her French fries and began to eat while Alejandro decided to make a phone call. After a few rings, a voice answered. "Hello boss. Where are you?""Am at a diner with Queency."He said .".. Don't worry we are fine.""Oh. Thank God." Paige replied, trying to keep her voice even. "I have some information related to the lead we have been following.""I have told you, it is Alejandro, Mr Rosario is my father's name" Alejandro corrected. "What is it? Do you have any leads on the missing girl?"He asked, sounding eager.Paige paused for a moment, gathering her thoughts. "Sorry. I meant Alejandro," she said honestly. "I don't know for sure. But I just received a call from someone who saw a girl being kidnapped. I don't know if it's the same girl we're looking for, but the details sound similar. What do you think about it?""...Hmmm." Alejandro answered after a while. "That is great news. Keep me posted will y
Carmichael grinned, a cold, mirthless smile. "I'm going to give you a choice. You can either tell me where the flash drive is, or I'll torture you until you do." He said, his voice calm and deadly.Lindsey's eyes widened in terror. She didn't know what to do."I'll give you one minute to decide." Carmichael said, pulling out a stopwatch from his pocket. "If you don't answer by the time the minute is up, I'll make you talk."Lindsey's mind was racing. She knew she didn't have the flash drive, but she also knew that Carmichael wouldn't believe her. She had to think of a way to get out of this, but she couldn't think straight with him staring at her so menacingly.Time was running out. She had to make a decision. What should she do?. That was when her eyes caught the pendant around her neck, she then remembered when her father gave her the pendant saying it was a gift from her grandpa."Time up." Carmichael voice boomed out ,snapping her back to the present. He had already untie the rope
"Yeah, let's go," Alejandro replied. After a few moments, he muttered, "We're heading to Italy."Queency immediately sprang into action, quickly contacting the rest of the group to assemble and prepare for the mission to Italy.

"We're here to help you," she said, his eyes filled with compassion. "You're safe now. Can you walk? We need to get you out of here."Lindsey trembled as she nodded, her trust in Queency evident. Or maybe it was because she was a girl her age like her. Lindsey allowed Queency to guide her as they followed Alejandro to safety. Alejandro and his men swiftly led her to their waiting vehicles, ensuring that she was shielded from harm as they made their way to their secure location.As they left the danger behind, Lindsey's tense posture gradually eased, her expression reflecting a mix of relief and gratitude.
