With teary eyes, Amir gathered his stance and from where he was, he watched fumes go up into the sky. Not particularly sure of what to make of the sudden explosion, he reasoned he had to get them all to safety."We should-" he stopped as he turned and met an empty seat where Chloe was supposed to be seated or at least clamoring for shelter. "Where is Chloe?" Lucille also got up and looked into the car, then around but there was no sign of her. "Do you think she ran elsewhere for shield?"Amir who was already feeling extremely uneasy found no response to Lucille's question. His skin feeling like it was being burnt, he looked beyond the jumbled mess of abandoned, rusting cars behind them but saw no sign of Chloe."Lucille?" She looked his way, worry also on her face as she tried to figure things out. "Get your stuff and Chloe's too. I have a feeling we should leave this place now.""But what about your car?"He reached for his small cros

"I don't get it. Why would this gang take Chole? I don't see a reason.""Maybe they don't need a reason," Amir replied Gabriel whose eyes were shut to hide his despair. "Or they might have one that involves me." The air was so tense as each men battled within.Nathaniel who was looking out at the darkness quietly turned to face Amir. "You think they are trying to lure you?" he asked, doing a good job of hiding his rageThe car hit a rough path causing the vehicle and its occupants to dance, a rather creepy view of tall trees and gusty air leading the way."Whoever Tate works for obviously wants to ruin me. Hence the whole rape thing. I thought that whole situation was enraging. But now that..." His fist formed tightly. "Now that he has Chloe..." Amir couldn't bring himself to express his anger fully.Given a chance to face the bastard who has Chloe, then he would express his rage like a rampaging beast."Do you guys think we should search th

They all sat quietly, staring at the little technology with a mix of annoyance and varieties of question within.Amir got up and walked to the long deserted bar and poured himself a drink. He found a seat on one of the high chairs and watched from there, others as they pondered on one thing or the other.He then decided to break the silence. "Can't we trace the purchase of the chips? That can give us something."Sebastian looked up from his phone. "Yes we could. But that is an absolute waste of time." He dashed Amir's suggestion like that. Adjusting in his seat, he continued, "Do you know how many Tech markets out there would be selling this kind of chip? I would say we remain patient and ask Chloe what happened when she is ready to talk."Amir sighed and took a quick sip from the cup of whiskey in his hand."Do you think she would talk?" Gabriel added almost suddenly, his hands tucked beneath his chin."How do you mean?" asked Amir.

It came again, sending chills down her spine.It was without doubts the distant shrieks that kept her up on certain nights. But did that mean...?She quickly shook her head and got rid of the question about to be brought up. As Chloe set to find a way to the scream, it came again, this time with painful pleas.'Please... he-help me. D- d-don't-''Shut it!' The sudden male voice startled Chloe.'Don't talk at all or I'll bash this into your face!' The man's voice wasn't familiar, but the fact that she could really hear everything freaked her out.Next came some scuffling, then muffled cries. Certainly the lady that screamed wasn't the only one there.But where exactly was the noise coming from? Chloe closed her eyes as she heard the metal scraping again. As she did, the question she had been avoiding dropped.Were the brothers really running a trafficking ring? Right within their premises?The au

For the first time since the junkyard incident, Chloe finally had a satisfactory sleep all thanks to the rainfall. As she stretched delightfully on her bed, she wondered for how long she had slept as the atmosphere didn't seem like it was still morning.Not bothering to ponder for long, Chloe got out of bed. As she stood still for a while, her mind went numb and she forgot for a second, everything that bothered her.As that time frame ended soon, Chloe sighed and made for the bathroom for a quick wash before settling to do what she had planned to do concerning Markings.But her eyes caught a brown envelope laying just by the door.It definitely couldn't be the package Markings was to deliver. If it was, the man had unbelivable guts. Not wanting to keep herself in suspense, she walked to her door and picked the envelope.Chloe who didn't bother to have a seat took out the paper-like contents of the envelope. As her eyes fell on the first captured im
