Chapter 135 Drako (2/2)
”Maybe her battery ran out and she couldn't get to you,” Kyle said, ”Let's wait till tonight before doing anything. The police won't act until at least 24 hours have passed, anyway.”
Cole nodded and tried calling his daughter again.
Kyle patted Cole's shoulder and walked over to the Elite Five. He jumped over the barrier and sat beside them.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, Kyle's phone rang. He turned to Kay who gave him his phone and his face frowned at seeing the unknown number. The suspicion in his heart grew.
He answered the call but didn't say anything.
”You. Alone. Zone C of Park KC. Any wrong move, she dies,” the voice said simply. In the background, Kyle could hear Cathy shouting, ”KYLE! No! It's a trap!”
He gripped the phone hard, anger bubbling in his heart, ”If you hurt one hair on her head ....”
The guy just laughed, ”Ten minutes. Tick tock.”
Kyle smashed his phone on the ground. The Elite Five guys jumped a bit, shocked.
”They've got Cathy,” Kyle explained getting up, ”Kay, stall for time at the competition. Guys, you HAVE to stay here and not move. Do not follow me. They're likely watching us right now.”
Which would explain how they called him right as he sat down. Since he was climbing, he handed all his things to Kay. They knew everything and was watching everything.
Kay nodded and hugged him. Taking his face in her hands, whereby her fingers were on his ears, Kyle kissed the top of her head. She patted the side of his head for good measure and waved goodbye.
”Are you really going to let him go alone?!” Xing Han said under his breath, his eyes deep in worry.
”He won't be alone,” Kay said, ”Team Alex has been notified. I already placed the earpiece into Kyle's ear earlier so he can communicate with them.”
”Huh? You did? When?” Xing Han asked, his eyes wide open.
Kay simply showed him her hands, then closed them and an earpiece emerged inbetween her fingers. She then moved her fingers and the earpiece traveled from one end of her finger to the other before it disappeared.
”Kyle's not the only one who learned sleight of hand,” Kay explained.

On the way to Park KC, which was adjacent to where the competition was being held, Kyle quietly gave orders to Team Alex. He didn't move his lips while talking, using the same skill as a ventriloquist.
”Alex, get a pinpoint on Cathy's phone and at the same time, where the last call was made. Save her first,” Kyle ordered, ”Get the shadow guards to protect Kay and the others.”
Alex conveyed the order to the rest of the team, and contacted the shadow guards by phone. Both of the shadow bodyguards were actually MIB, who had been recruited while they were working for the Smith Industries. Kyle always made sure that those from Smith Industries who were his security detail, would all be MIB.
He needed people loyal to him, and not to Smith Industries. A person is less likely to betray the person he works for, if he is loyal to the person. If it's the company, he can still be persuaded so long as the other party can provide better prospects. Kyle didn't need that.
”What about you, Sir?” Alex queried, ”Don't you need backup?”
”I do not know how many people are with Cathy,” Kyle explained, ”You guys handle that first then come and join me. I shall stall as long as possible.”
Alex nodded in understanding. So long as Cathy was held prisoner, Kyle would not be able to act freely. Once that constraint was over, things would be different. Alex quickly set things into motion, with the others working furiously to pinpoint Cathy's location.
When Kyle reached the destination, he realised why the other party had chosen the spot. Park KC may be a public park, but Zone C had been cordoned off due to 'maintenance' work. It was deserted and far enough from any prying eyes.
Kyle went under the barrier and walked over to Zone C.
There, waiting, was Drako.
