Vanessa's POV

I watched from the shadows across the street as Adrian, Jennifer, and Marcus walked out of the police station. They looked worried and confused, exactly like Vincent said they would. I pulled my cap lower over my face and stepped deeper into the alley where my car was parked.

Everything was going according to plan.

I had been following them since they came to the station. Vincent had told me to keep an eye on them, to make sure they didn't figure out the truth too quickly. But watching Adrian's face now, I could tell Marcus was starting to suspect something.

That tech expert was smarter than Vincent had given him credit for.

I pulled out my phone and sent a quick text to Vincent: "They're getting suspicious about the footage. Marcus might have figured it out."

His reply came back immediately: "Don't worry. By the time they figure it out, it will be too late."

I put my phone away and thought back to how this all started. It seemed like a lifetime ago, but it had only been

    Adrian's POV"Perfect." Marcus kept typing. "I'm looking for properties that were sold between five years ago and ten years ago. Properties that might have been bought but not properly transferred or registered."The screen filled with information—addresses, sale dates, buyer names. Marcus filtered through the results, removing properties that were clearly legal sales with proper paperwork."Look at this," he said, pointing to two entries that stood out. "These two properties were sold about four months after Vincent got out. Both sales were handled by the same small real estate company that I've never heard of. And look at who bought them."I looked closer at the screen. Both properties were bought by "Reeves Holdings LLC.""Son of a bitch," I said. "He didn't even try to hide his name.""Why would he?" Jennifer asked. "If these properties aren't in the official system that the security team was using, he probably thought no one would find them."Marcus clicked on the first property.

    Nichole's POVAfter Vincent finished talking about my father and how much he hated him, he walked away from me. I watched him head toward what I thought was the direction of his car. My heart was still pounding from everything he had told me. The way he talked about my father, about wanting me to suffer - it made my skin crawl.I tried to move my hands behind the chair, but the ropes were too tight. My wrists were already raw from trying to get free. The warehouse was so quiet I could hear my breathing, and it sounded too loud in the space.Maybe he was leaving. Maybe this was my chance to scream for help, even though I didn't think anyone would hear me out here.But then I heard his footsteps coming back. My heart sank.Vincent walked back into the room, and this time he was carrying a thick folder in his hands. The folder was brown and looked official, like something you'd see in a lawyer's office."What is that?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Vincent smiled in that creep

    Adrian's POVI walked back and forth in the hallway, holding my phone tight as I waited for Rodriguez, the head of our security team, to answer. Talking to Mrs. Valmont made me feel even more worried than before. Her words kept playing in my head: "Make sure everyone involved in this doesn't go scot-free." That promise felt heavier every minute that passed."Boss?" Rodriguez's rough voice finally came through the phone."Rodriguez, please tell me you have good news," I said, trying not to sound desperate.He was quiet for too long. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gonzalez. We checked all the abandoned buildings that are registered in the city and around it. We looked at every single building on the list—warehouses, old factories, empty houses, even some that were supposed to be torn down but are still standing. Nothing. No sign of Miss Valmont or Vincent Reeves."My heart dropped. "Are you sure? Maybe you missed something—""Sir, my team knows what they're doing. We have twenty-three guys covering fo

    Adrian's POV We all got into my car. I drove silently for a while until the silence was broken."Come to think of it, now that I remember, I noticed something weird back at the station," Jennifer said."What?" Marcus and I said at the same time."I noticed a police officer staring weirdly at us a few times. A female officer, to be precise.""She could just be a curious one. Maybe she's—""No, Adrian. I know what I saw. This isn't some random staring. She was actually watching us.""That might be our informant," Marcus stated."Can you recognize her?""I didn't get a good look at her face because she was wearing a police cap. But I can recognize her body when I see her.""Then let's go back to the station and find her. Ask her where she took Nichole, and all this would be settled," I said angrily."No, that's not a good idea, Adrian," Marcus said."What the fuck! I'm stopping this car right now, and we're going back to the station.""I don't think that's a good idea, Adrian," Jennifer

    Adrian's POV"Federal agents?" I repeated, stepping closer to the officer. "Did you get their names? Badge numbers?"The officer looked confused and started flipping through his paperwork. "I... It's here in the log, but—""Call the number they left. Now," I said. My voice was ice cold.Jennifer grabbed my arm. "Adrian, something's wrong. The FBI doesn't just show up in the middle of the night to transfer someone."The officer picked up his phone and dialled a number from his logbook. We waited as it rang. And rang. And rang."No answer," he said, hanging up.My heart started pounding. "What did these agents look like? Did they show proper identification?""Well, they had badges and uniforms," the officer said, but he was starting to sound uncertain. "They said it was urgent federal business.""Show me the surveillance footage," I demanded.The officer hesitated. "Sir, I'm not sure I can—""Officer, a woman's life might be in danger," I said firmly. "Show me the footage now, or I'll c
