The Reaper In White Shirt

Chapter 8

"Big sis, it's hard to locate the kidnappers since most of the CCTV footage that captures them was hacked. The only thing I found is the black van they used as an escape vehicle. I found the picture that was posted by a witness on the internet." Faust informed his big sister while typing something. "But, it's really hard since there's no plate number attached. So, I used a privately owned satellite and used it to locate every black van and do some match-ups.

A picture of a complicated map was shown on the computer. "I down all possible choices and finally found the vehicle."

Cheuse paused what she was doing and approached her younger brother. She stopped behind the swivel chair and looked at the map displayed on the computer. "Did you mark it down?"

Faust clicked enter and a red dot suddenly appeared on the screen, on the top of a vehicle icon. "Yes, I marked it down."

"What city?" Cheuse asked. She is not familiar with the places shown on the map.

Faust typed again and seconds later, the whole map of the city appeared on the screen. "It's on the outskirts of Ideous City. Northern part."

"Did you get any updates about the kids? I wanna make sure that they're safe." Cheuse seriously asked.

"I'm pretty sure that they're safe based on the kidnappers' conversation on their phone. I hacked it easily because they happened to be in an area with a strong signal. Do you want to read it?"

"No. Break it down for me."

"Okay~ Apparently, those kidnappers have a pretty big client. The client wants those children to be completely clean and have no sign of being touched."

Cheuse's forehead creases. "And then?"

"I don't know. That's the only message that the client left." Faust pouted.

Cheuse's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint. "Have you tried digging for information about the client?"

Faust nodded. "I did. I tried tracing him using WIS, but it seems like the client is using an alias. So, I traced him using their convo, and guess what? I didn't find out their identity, but their location."

"Where is their location?"

"Deshag City, Republic of Ghlesad."

"Where the fuck did you say?" Cheuse couldn't help but feel angry when she heard it.

Faust is confused, but he still answers it. "I said, Deshag City Republic of Ghlesad."

"Fuck!" Cheuse cursed. That country is the most disgusting place in the world.

Many kids, teenagers, and women around the world were kidnapped and sold at that place. It was said that only the main city in the Republic of Ghlesad is lawless because the president of the country allows it.

The Republic of Ghlesad is a small and very poor country. It is composed of three cities. The two cities are mostly where the natives live. They were not supported by the government and left to fend for themselves, but what's worse is that they were forced to do hard labor but could not even keep their earnings because of the high taxes.

Some people attempted to escape but were immediately caught by the country's Military. They were punished by the orders of the President and even their family was spared.

The main city, which is Deshag City, is where the president lives and lively things happen there. He's a foreigner who tricked the past administration into giving him the position of president. The Republic of Ghlesad is a very isolated country and couldn't keep up with the ways of the new era. So, when he tricked them using the knowledge that he knew, the past administration believed everything he said. And that's their biggest regret.
