Ryu and Alicia were in the middle of a meeting with Neil"s team of lawyers when Ryu"s phone rang.Seeing that it was Ru"s security team calling,Ryu immediately answered only to hear the frantic voice of the guard saying that Ru was missing.Ryu"s hands on the phone tightened and in a cold voice he asked,"CCTV?"
The man who was already scared over such a big mistake could only gulp and answer,"Tampered."
"When there was no response for a minute from the other hand the man could only continue,"Sir we think it was a kidnapping..He had a stay back at school for basket ball practice and there were very less students..When he did not return,everybody thought that he had left for home...This happened an hour back..They only realized that he was missing when we arrived to pick him up.."
A sub zero temperature voice asked lethally,"Are you telling me that my son has been missing for an hour and you-his elite security team did not even realize it!?"
Dead!The man knew from the voice that he was now dead.If something were to happen to the young master,there was no chance of mercy and if he was rescued then may be jus maybe they could live..Praying,the man answered with a shaky"Yes.."
On the other end,Ryu had already grabbed his laptop and brought up the map.Entering the code of the GPS he saw that the red dot on the map was stationery and in the vicinity of the school.Da** it!They had thrown away the tracker.
In a monotone,Ryu said into the phone,"You will receive the co ordinates of Ru"s school bag.Bring it to me.
As soon as Ryu had picked the call and uttered the "CCTV" question,Neil had adjourned the meeting.Alicia who had been about to drink a cup of water felt it slip from her hands and fall on the carpeted floor witha dull thud.Neil was currently in the middle of calling the Police Chief and Ryu was already calling the IT company that was under Lance Inc. and ordered the expert to be sent over to his house.Ryu would have wanted to console Alicia but the moment he had realized the danger,Ryu had shut down his emotions so that he could think clearly.but he did not need to.After the initial few terror filled seconds,Alicia had also gained a semblance of control and followed Ryu and Neil out of the office.She was not going to be an impediment in finding her son.
Instead of going downwards towards the car park,Ryu took the elevator upwards.He was already speaking to the It expert regarding the set up to track the perpetrators.Upstairs, they immediately got into the helicopter that was on stand by and proceeded towards the secluded estate of Ryu"s home, completing the 45 minutes journey in 10 minutes.On his way, Ryu had already diverted all incoming calls in the company to the tracker"s phone. They had no idea if the kidnapping was for ransom or any other reason.So naturally the kidnappers would not necessarily have a way to contact him and negotiate.
Neil was already calling his informants in the underworld for the details.Just because their hands were clean did not mean that they were ignorant.
A few minutes after entering the house,the sound of the helicopter rotors could be heard.The IT expert had arrived.Soon the wail of sirens could also be heard in the distance.
Neil handed his phone to Alicia and went out to bring in the police.Just then Neil"s and Ryu"s cell phone vibrated. Al looked at the phone to see a message from Mi Rae"s phone. About to ignore it,Al thought to message Mi Rae about the situation.But when she read the message that Neil had received she was shocked and looked up at her hubby to tell him but realized that he had also received the same message.She felt struck.
Neil returned followed by the expert and several senior police officers. But seeing that Alicia"s face was even more struck and paler than before while Neil was instructing someone to check some other CCTVs in a different location.Instantly understanding,Neil asked, "Has there been some new information? "
In answer,Alicia turned around the phone in her hands and handed it to Neil.
Taking the phone, he glanced at the screen and felt his blood freeze.
The message had only one word, "Mayday" and below that was the live tracker link which was currently moving north out of the city.
That meant only one thing-Ru and Mi Rae both had been kidnapped and were currently together. He turned to the police chief and said,"You wanted to know if we suspected anyone...Mi Rae"s kidnapping has considerably shortened the list...to one person..Elder Hu."
The tracker had already set up the machine and the red dot was now visible going at a high speed and was about to cross over the border to another city.
