While Goo and his associates were coordinating their search, Daniel, Zack, and Vasco were also doing everything in their power to find you. The three of them had split up, reaching out to their networks for help. Daniel was frantically texting and calling everyone he knew, his usually calm demeanor replaced with a sense of urgency.

Zack, always the fighter, was gathering a group of friends who were more than ready to throw down if it came to that. He knew that finding you might not be easy, and he wanted to be prepared for any situation. He even reached out to Jay, knowing his connections could be invaluable.

Vasco, with his big heart and strong sense of justice, was talking to people in the neighborhood, asking if anyone had seen anything suspicious. His popularity and reputation as a protector of the weak meant that people were eager to help him in any way they could.

As the three of them regrouped later in the day, they exchanged the information they had gathered, piecing together every clue they could find. They knew time they had was short, and with each passing minute, their determination to find you only grew stronger.

"We'll get her back," Daniel said firmly, looking at Zack and Vasco. "No matter what it takes."

"Yeah," Zack agreed.

Vasco nodded, his usually kind eyes now filled with resolve. "We'll find her. And we'll return her safely."

As Daniel, Zack, and Vasco continued their search, they encountered a short boy with striking purple hair. He introduced himself as Kouji, his demeanor calm yet alert. Despite his small stature, there was an air of confidence about him that made the trio pause.

Kouji quickly got to the point. "I heard you're looking for someone. A girl. I might be able to help," he said, his voice steady. He didn't waste time with pleasantries, which immediately gained him Zack's respect.

"How do you know about that?" Daniel asked, suspicious but hopeful.

"I have my ways," Kouji replied, shrugging casually. "Let's just say I've been keeping an eye on the situation. And I know people who are looking for her too so maybe if i hack the location then i can figure out where she is."

Vasco, always trusting of others, stepped forward. "Can you take us there?"

Kouji nodded. "I can. But it's not going to be easy. The place is heavily guarded. You'll need more than just brute force to get in."

Zack smirked. "Good thing we've got more than just that."

Kouji glanced at Zack, then at Daniel and Vasco. "Alright then. Follow me, but be ready for anything. This isn't going to be a walk in the park."

With that, Kouji led the way, his pace brisk and his focus unwavering. Daniel, Zack, and Vasco exchanged glances, all silently agreeing to trust him for now. They knew the stakes were high and that time was running out.

As they followed Kouji through the backstreets and alleyways, the tension among them grew. They were close to finding you, and they couldn't afford to fail now.

Thanks to Gun's extensive network of workers, they managed to track down your location. The information came through quickly and efficiently, as expected from the well-organized syndicate. Gun wasted no time in relaying the coordinates to Goo, who had been anxiously awaiting any lead.

The moment Goo received the information, he sprang into action. His usual playful demeanor was replaced by a rare, cold focus. He knew the location now, and he wasn't about to waste a single second.

Gun, always the strategist, had already mobilized a team. "We move now," Gun said, his voice devoid of emotion. "This is our only chance to get her back before they relocate."

Goo nodded, his jaw clenched. "I'll handle the front. Make sure no one gets out."

Gun smirked slightly. "I expected nothing less from you."

With that, the two of them, along with a group of their most trusted men, set off towards the location. They moved quickly and quietly, their goal clear in their minds. The workers had provided precise details—a warehouse on the outskirts of the city, heavily guarded but nothing they couldn't handle.

As they approached the warehouse, Goo's mind raced. He was determined to get you out safely, and nothing was going to stand in his way. He could already imagine the chaos that was about to ensue, but he didn't care. All that mattered was reaching you in time.

Gun gave the signal, and the group spread out, taking positions around the building. Goo took the lead, his eyes narrowing as he prepared for the inevitable fight.

Inside, you were still unconscious, unaware of the rescue mission that was closing in on you. But with every second, Goo and Gun were getting closer, determined to bring you back, no matter the cost.
