"Who's the mastermind of this transaction?" Leo asked Carlo Sañiego who was now sitting while facing them. Next to him was the skinny man who looked terrified.

They were in the room where there is a small cell on the side where the two slept last night. There is a table of the right size in front of Carlo Sañiego.  Leo was on its side and standing.  Brandon, Faith, and Alexandra sat in the chair at the table facing Carlo Sañiego while Rhianna is on one side and listening to them talk.

"Why would I say that? I don't want to hurt my family." he said firmly. Brandon stood up and approached Carlo.

"If you unite with us. Tell us where your wife and children are and we will rescue them. We will make sure that they will be safe in our care." Brandon reassuringly said.

"Don Ysmael, he is the leader. I am just being ordered. I heard the conversation of those who ordered me. If I don't obey and I report, my children and my wife will get hurt. I have no choice because I am also in need. Save my family, please." he pleaded and his tears gradually fell.

Rhianna pities him. She knew how difficult it is when there is nothing to provide for the needs of his family. He is temerarious when they were at Gigi’s Carenderia. Now you can see his weakness. His family.

"Don't worry. We'll go to them now and rescue them. May I have the Address for us to go to." Leo said.

"San Sebado. At the second comer on the left, you go in there and our house is in the second house on the right."  Leo nodded. Alexandra and Faith just listened quietly.

"But you're still guilty of the law. So you have to go to jail." Leo said to Carlo Sañiego.

"I'm ready to face the law. Just, make sure that my wife and my kids will be safe." he said.

"You? Who ordered you?" Leo asked the skinny man who was already trembling with fear and could barely lift his face.

"My friends just ordered me, they gave me a big tip for taking drugs." he answer while his head was bowed.

"Brandon and Faith, take them to the police station. Alexandra and I will rescue his family." Leo said.

"Copy, Agent." they answered politely. Why do they respect Leo that much?  

The two men were taken out of the room as Brandon and Faith led them.  We were left here in the room with Alexandra.

"Is Rhianna going to ride with you?"  Alexandra asked.

"Yes. He's going to dicker Dianne." Leo said as he headed to where Rhianna was. Their eyes met. She immediately looked down because she could not meet his gaze.

 "Let's go, Rhianna." he said.

**

They are already crossing the road towards Sebado Street. Alexandra was behind them in her black car. She looked out the window, based on the sunlight, it was around eleven o'clock in the morning.

 She can only hear the gusts of wind.  No one wanted to break the silence. She has nothing important to say or ask.  They also traveled for a few hours.

 From her seat, she saw the boundary of San Sebado. Vast countryside opened up for them. Their flight took a few minutes and was replaced by houses.

 Houses that are simple in size and shacks that the people living in San Sebado know that they are in poverty.  They passed children who have been scolded by their mothers.

They passed a corner on the left. On the second corner is Carlo Sañiego's house. Farm again, they passed it until they reached the second corner. Leo turned the car towards it. They stopped at the second house on the right, according to Carlo Sañiego.

 Leo and Rhianna got out of the car, she saw Alexandra in the distance approaching them. Leo knocked on the door of the house. He knocked twice before it opened. They met a woman who she think was in her late thirties.  She looked at them from head to toe.  The woman was about to close the door but Leo stopped her immediately.

"My husband isn't here. You can leave now. He didn't come home yesterday." she explained. It seems that she knows what her husband's doing.

"We caught your husband and maybe now he's in the cell and incarcerated." Leo stated.

Suddenly the Lady's eyes watered.  She cried because of what had happened to her husband. They just let her cry until she ceases.

"What I'm gonna do now? We have children. Maybe we'll be killed if his boss knew what happen to my husband." she asks them with fear in his eyes.

"We're here to help you Mrs. Sañiego, and we promised to your husband that we wouldn't leave you."  Leonardo replied.

**

"What?! Carlo Sañiego got caught?! Useless people!" he shouted at his men.

"We didn't know that they would know about our transaction, Boss. Agent Jerald overheard the transaction because someone allegedly stamped on him." Bricks stated.

He threw the glass he was holding on the floor in a fit of rage. It was torn to pieces on the floor. Gael immediately took a cleaner and cleaned it.

 "Next time your work must be clean! I will be damned by your actions! You can leave now!" he said furiously. They immediately obeyed and went out the door.

Another one that gives him a headache is Rhianna. She escaped without being noticed by the guards. He needs to find her as soon as possible, lest she will be the cause of his downfall.
