Chapter 201 - The Search For More Clues (1/2)

”I think so.” A man spoke up as he flipped some pages which were thrown before her on the table in a haphazard manner. These pages were actually printed out police reports about all the previous kidnappings. It wasn't easy for him to get them out as they were some just paperwork. He had to contact a man who owed him a huge favor so that he could get their hands on them.

”Yes.” He replied as he pulled out a few papers from the huge pile of papers placed before him. ”The black Camaro was found abandoned at some remote, secluded place. The police did check those places, but found nothing.”

”And did the police check out those old warehouses?” Adam questioned him.

He picked up another bunch of paper and passed it to Adam. ”Not all of them.” He began to speak when Adam had the papers in his hands. ”They checked out the warehouse before which they found the car and three other warehouses which were surrounding it.”

Adam looked through the papers, processing the information in his mind. ”Whoever is behind this kidnapping, they tried to make it look like the previous ones. The police fell for it and instead of investigating it properly, they are just waiting for the kidnappers to call and ask for ransom.”

He frowned as he placed the papers back on the table. ”But they are never going to get the call.” He continued.

”Pull out a map of the area where they dumped the car.” He ordered the lean man again. The tapping sound of keys was heard and the screen went black before lightening up again. A map of the area was projected on the white screen.

”Let me try something.” The lean man spoke up, pushing his glasses up on his nose. His fingers flew over the keys of his laptop. His tapping resulted in one red and three green blipping dots appeared on the map. ”The red dot shows the warehouse where they found the car and those three green dots are the other warehouses they searched.” He added, pointing his chin towards the screen.

”Zoom in at the red dot.” Adam asked him to which he complied. Looking at the abandoned building which was almost in a run down condition, he questioned him again. ”What's that light blue line behind it? Is it some sort of stream?”

”Yeah.” He answered him as he zoomed in further.

”Form five teams of two and search all of those warehouses, even the ones that the police have already searched. I don't want a single stone unturned. For all we know, there are high chances that he is being kept in one of those warehouses. But don't do it today, do it tomorrow.” He ordered them.

”Yes, Boss.” All of them replied to him at once.

”And you.” He pointed towards the lean man. ”I want you to track that stream, look for potential sites where they can get off if there is a chance that they used the stream to transport him.” He asked him as he was the eleventh member of his team who had joined him directly in the city as he was sent off for a mission in a nearby country.

”Sure, Boss.” He nodded his head.

”I will visit the project site tomorrow, so don't call and bother me if you run into something. We will gather here tomorrow night again to discuss further. All of you can leave now.” Adam added as he dismissed his team.

”Did you miss me?” He questioned her as he looked at the screen of his phone.

The duo were having their dinner while video chatting with each other. Though it was just the end of day two, the two love birds were missing each other crazily. They had gotten so used to each other's presence that with the distance, their lives felt incomplete, as if it was missing an important component.

”Nah! Why would I miss you?” Stella rolled her eyes and answered him, her voice laced with sarcasm. She sliced through her steak and decided to turn a blind eye to the man on the other end, who was smiling at her. 'How could he even ask me such a question?' She lamented to herself.

”I can't say about you, but I surely missed my little elf.” She heard his voice coming from the phone.
