I Never Left You

20. Plan

Ray's POV
My phone dings with a text and on opening it, it's a photo of the love of my life lying weakly on the ground. "Azra noo....." I scream loudly attracting everyone's attention in the gym. The photo has a location, I try to call the number but it's off. I expected that anyway. Am left wondering who could be merciless to make the most harmless person I know in the world suffer. The fact that they sent the location to me means they clearly know me. The adrenaline in me is rushing I want to get that kidnapper and strangle them right away.  I call Mr. Falls and he tells me he hasn't got anything so I tell him about the text. His first instinct is to inform the police but I warn against it. This must be an ally informing us as no ransom has been asked for. I grab my gym bag, find my car keys and inform Kevin to find me home ASAP and if possible to come with Leah, poor thing she's equally devastated . I have a rescue plan but am going to need dad's help.
On getting home, thankfully it's only Leticia our childhood nanny and now home manager that's is around. I warmly greet her and she informs me that mum is in Paris and that dad will be here shortly. I take two steps at a time and in no time am on my computer logged on to the Secret Spies Network and get to work. Soon enough am able to locate the place Azra is being held hostage and from the looks of it, it's not the best place.  The coordinates point to a beach house on Stale beach. On looking up the owner, am left speechless.
I get a knock on the door and Kevin walks in with a worried face, "Tsup man, you sounded strange on the phone and your words could not add up."he says. I narrate to him on how I got a text with information on Azra's whereabouts with her pic. I further tell him that I don't know who the sender could be cause the number was untraceable. "how much is the ransom?" Kevin angrily inquiries. "None" I inform him and further explain that the identified location belonged to Coli Steven, the same guy who was arrested for selling drugs to students through her daughter Clara back in high school.
Kevin informs me that Leah is here with Azra's parents . From his findings he equally assumes that the suspect believed to have kidnapped Azra was Sivert Malcolm who also poses as Trevis on campus. We try to ponder how he's related to the Stevens as we slope down stairs to meet Azra's parents. I exchange pleasantries with Ra's mum and dad and they are thankful for the help.
Speaking of Clara, I remember Pen telling me they were cousins so meaning she is a Steven too, I smell a rat there, we all join our heads together so we can have an attack plan. By the time dad arrives we already have something on the table. I explain to him our hypothesis; "Me and Azra filed evidence pointing Mr Steven as a drug dealer through her niece Clara back in high school. The police arrested them but somehow managed to escape so he must be seeking revenge. He has two daughters at college now that we're studying with, Clara and Pen of which Pen is close to me. He must have hired Sivert, a close friend of Azra to abduct her". I pause to catch my breath. "We believe that her captivators are either after me to since they sent the location info to me and not her parents or it's Trevis trying to ask us to save her. In addition I also have a feeling it was her friend who brought back her stuff after kidnapping her". I can't deduce if the information about Azra's whereabouts is a warning or an invitation. "My major worry and concern now is that Pen must be looking for how to trap me too." I conclude.
When I finish, dad has a pleased look on his face and I can't comprehend his thoughts . "Am proud of the detective your slowly becoming. Steven Coli McGregory alias "Black Eagle" is among the top wanted man. He's accused of distributing strong drugs in society, smuggling weapons, human trafficking, women assault among others.he has a way of always slipping out of the law and police. We couldn't always track his location but thanks to you, now we do. That training in the army really did you well.But the fact that no ransom was asked, I too believe it's an ally" dad praises me patting my head. Let me get you all the help you need cause and we rescue Ms. Falls and take down that son of a man once and for all." Dad finishes off.
"We gladly appreciate for taking the effort to save our daughter". Mr and Mrs falls say to my dad to which he claims its his duty to serve the nation. "I appreciate too dad but we need to act fast goodness knows what they are doing to her." I pass my fingers through my hair with frustration. "It's only a call away, don't worry" dad starts dailing his phone.
