Red's Desire - Sweet Glances Ver.

Chapter 21

An adorable log house was what he saw before him. There was a balcony on the second floor where you could see the beautiful scenery of trees and two windows on each floor with frames made of silver. The house gave off a relaxing feeling which made Fred lower his guard a little.

Opening the door, Fred felt embarrassment on another level, why did he do that?

"Well, someone seems embarrassed by his actions." Hazel was standing right in front of him. "Oh, ehem." He cleared his throat and straightened his posture. Hazel sighed before guiding him to the basement. The inside of the house was beautiful, a few pieces of furniture made from hardwood and metal, the living room was nice and comfy as the sun's grace entered from the open windows. Two unfamiliar young men were inside the house also, one was in the mini library reading while the other one was sleeping on the couch.

As they reached the basement, Hazel closed the door behind them before leading Fred to Siami. The basement was lit with violet lights as computers ran, and several wall-mounted computer screens displayed information about several familiar people. Fred walked behind Siami as she typed on the keyboard. One of the screens showed Haren's and Elaine's information. "Does this have any relation to Elaine's disappearance?" Fred asked as he leaned and placed his palm on the surface of the table. "Yes. We've been trying to find clues but things haven't been going nicely." Hazel answered as she sat on the chair next to Siami; Fred grabbed a chair and sat next to Hazel as he looked at the screen. "Have you interviewed the students?" "We can't. We have collected some information from every police station near the school. The students didn't give any helpful answers." "Even Elaine's friends?" Fred raised a brow, "Even her friends. Every student had the same answer, "Elaine attended her classes and didn't skip any, and she then went home like the rest of us." We also interviewed Elaine's parents ourselves, however, they said Elaine didn't come home after school, They thought that she was hanging with her friends and maybe she'd come home late, then in the morning, they thought Elaine slept at her friends' house but after a day, when Elaine's parents' called her friends and asked if they knew where Elaine was... Her friends said they had no idea." Fred sighed then questioned once again, "Have you traced her phone?" Finally, Siami replied this time, "We tried, but her phone was destroyed." "That's unfortunate."

Fred went silent for a few minutes but he then spoke again, "Have you checked the school's security cameras?" Siami and Hazel went silent, "We couldn't, the principal won't let us, and the police also couldn't check the cameras. Hazel tried hacking into the security cameras but she couldn't get a signal."

"That's suspicious, the principal won't..."

"But that's none of our concern right now; the Principal has no reason to be part of this."

"That's true, but what if?"

"It's just a 'what if'."

"Hm... Have you checked the cameras at Rosemary Street? That's the street near the school and also the closest street to Elaine's house."

"No, but let me..."

Siami typed on the Keyboard as the screen showed what she typed. However, as she tried to hack the cameras, something stopped her...

"..."

Fred pushed her gently on the side as he then typed on the keyboard, after a few minutes, Fred managed to hack the cameras. "Oh, good job."

They then checked the recorded video.

"..."

On the blackboard, Siami connected the red strings. "Alright, so at 5:29 pm, Elaine was kidnapped by a group of men wearing black masks in a white van. The van had no plate number. We can't identify any of the men." Fred then raised his hand as he zoomed in on the screenshot he got from the video. "Each man has a rose sign attached to their jacket." "This rose sign can only resemble one certain Family," Hazel commented on Fred's statement. Fred felt his heart freeze, "But... there are two families with a rose as their sign."

"Denapien and Nemoverin's..." Siami sighed. "That hopeless a##hole." "You mean Jared?" "Don't tell him anything." "Noted."

After a few minutes, they managed to find someone who could help them find where Elaine was.

"So, when are we planting that bomb?"

"Never, that was just an excuse."

"Wtf."

After almost a week, they finally had an answer about where and why Elaine was kidnapped. How? Siami kidnapped someone. (That's all you need to know.)
