As I woke, my consciousness flickered.As I opened my eyes, I looked around, observing the place. Where was I? I asked myself. The room was dimly lit, cold, and uninviting. The walls were of concrete and the air was musty, making it a little difficult to breathe. As I sat on the floor I felt the tightness of the course rope used to secure my hand behind me. I pulled my hand hard, but they won't budge. As I sat there, I slowly realized the gravity of the situation. I was kidnapped too! My heartbeat increased, and the rhythm changed to an irregular pace causing me to gasp for breath by the minute. “No! This can't be" I said to myself trying to free myself from the restraints.

Reed's voice echoed through the pathways. He didn't expect that I would be able to outsmart him and free myself from his restraints. “Natalia wait !” His voices tear through the darkness.

The warehouse search Azek’s POV “Get ready we are going with them,” I said to Mia who was just looking at me confused. I still wasn’t sure why the tactical team wanted our presence.

This was all for the good of the case. We needed to find the boys fast before we all started losing our minds. The tactical team got ready as soon as Mia and I came downstairs.

The Construction siteMia’s POV“How can we trust you?” Azek yelled at the strange guy that suddenly emerged from the shadows. I took a glance at the strange man, he looked haggard but had this expression of remorse and sympathy on his face. Something inside me wanted to trust him and he had given us information we would have never found.I tugged on Azek’s shirt signaling him to relax and the man looked friendly. I stepped out from Azek’s back showing that I wasn’t scared and I was willing to listen to the man. He introduced himself as Daniel. “He might be telling the truth and he just told us something that we never knew,” I said to Azek. Before I could finish convincing Azek the tactical squad stormed in pinning the man to the ground. Azek relaxed and told them to leave him and let him talk.“Can you take us there?” Azek asked the man. He just nodded and promised to help us get to the bottom of the matter. I looked again into the eyes of the man searching for any slight signal of

False ShelterNatalia’s POV“Please can you help me?” I asked with the last breath I had. My heart is beating with so much vigor. I kept panting, I had indeed run a marathon. No one paid attention to me. The place was a bit noisy and my yells were nothing more than small puffs of breath. I felt the frustration creep on me like a snake coming to devour my peace.I tried to gather composure as I sat down at an empty table. My panting reduced as I caught my breath gradually. Even as my emotions and tension reduced, I knew the race wasn’t over and Reed wouldn't give up that easily.

She looked like she worked here.“she’s a good option,” I thought to myselfI took a few moments to rehearse my

Mia’s POV“Isn’t this Natalia’s hair ?” I let out asking myself and everyone around me who knew Natalia. Azek’s face lit up in a puzzled expression. He was confused if I was referring to the Natalia he knew or another one. “How do you mean honey? Are you ok? ” His question felt offensive as he asked in a way that made me feel I was losing it. Or maybe I was going crazy. I won't blame him because it came suddenly. I couldn't comprehend what I just discovered. Azek walked towards me and he held me close to himself. “This is Natalia! I know! I am sure! Am not crazy” I yelled in protest of the false accusations placed on my sudden outburst. Azek still was convinced that I was right. He just nodded and tried to hug me. I pushed myself away and looked at him trying my best to tell him that I wasn't crazy. “Mia! Calm down. I know you're worried about Natalia but we have to find the boots first” Azek said, still doubting my impulsive gestures. I grew frustrated by the minute and I knew de

She exchanged greetings with the bartender and I just waited, anticipation made me sweat in the freezing temperature, and I just kept hoping and praying Natalia was there. “Who are they ?” the woman asked the bartender. Her suspicious gaze turned to us. Her gaze peered into my heart. Azek just looked at her with a stern look. Giving her the idea we were here on urgent and important business. “Good day ma’am, my name is Azek, and my wife is Mia. Your colleague informed us that my wife’s junior sister is in your custody.
