A wave of silence hit everyone when I told Anne and Tessy about the kidnappers. I waited in bated breath to hear Anne screaming at me or Tessy demanding why I didn't tell them about this earlier but they just looked blank and gave no response. I could comprehend that they both were breaking into a cold sweat about this issue.

I tried to lighten the moment. "C'mon. You don't need to help us if you don't want to!"

Anne squeezed my hand assuring. "I'll help Andrea. It's just..wierd."

I found Finnick tensed when she said this.

Tessy also waved her hands in the air and agreed with this saying, "You go to deposit the ransom and see a kinda party going on where you find that this is a part of some game! Finnick's friend is kidnapped because they want to play a game?"

I was not at all surprised when they said this because even I took time to accept this.

I just told them simply that this was how everything was. We could not do anything about it. They both accepted this aversely and I heaved a sigh of relief.

I saw Tessy tapping her foot nervously."Why send these notes to Finnick? When you told about what the kidnappers said, it seemed like he was known to all. He seemed like an important part of this."

I tried to think of something to say but the problem was even I was confused about this.

I opened my mouth to tell her this when Finnick spoke in a stern tone, "How? When? Why? This we can find out later but first we have to find who the kidnapper is and rescue Harris."

The way in which he spoke this was clearly hinting that this was the end of topic related to why everything was weird.

I picked the notes from the table and passed it to Anne and Tessy.

Now there was a breath of fresh air everywhere as we were all working together.

Anne told a lot many ideas of finding the clues and Tessy noted them in a piece of paper. We were trying every method and striking them down if it didn't work. What Anne suggested first was to read in between the lines of the notes but all our efforts went in vain. We did a couple of such things when we stumbled upon the clue.

Yeah! We got the clue!

Rick Hoorah.

We read the name of the kidnapper again and again. Tessy grumbled something. I think she said that the name sounds like a hoopla. What truly amazed me the most was that the clue was so simple. I mean it was not hard to find out at all. But I knew better than to question about this. The name of the kidnapper was formed when we take the first letter of all the places written in the notes. Following is what Anne discovered-

Raymod Junction
Issah Port
Clarkpor Station
Kelly Park

Hiamex Bar
Oprah Lane
Oggy Lane
Rustle Area
Anglee Square
Hugho Cinema

Hats off to Anne for discovering this!

We all thanked Anne for helping out with this but she shrugged it off."We are still not done yet.How do we know where to find them?"

This problem was solved when Finnick said that the name of the kidnapper rung a bell in his memory and he might know their where abouts. He further very confidently said that we could go out there in a car tonight, rescue Harris and come back. Simple.

I admit if the word 'simple' could be removed from what he said, it seemed a possible plan. We could actually manage to do this.

We all took a look at each other questioningly waiting for someone to say something.To say that we will do this.Tessy took the lead. "Seems like a workable plan but what will we tell our parents?"

Our faces fell.Whenever we got past a problem, another rises almost immediately. It was actually like they were hurdles or challenges. First, we didn't knew who the kidnapper was. When that was found, the next hurdle was where will we find them? When this was solved, we have a new challenge. What are we to tell to our parents the reason of going out late tonight?

It was only a matter of seconds when we bridged past this obstacle. "Tessy and Andrea can say they are going for a sleep-over at Anne's place while Anne can say she is going for a sleep-over at Andrea's place. As for me, I can manage," Finnick said grinning.

Tessy and Anne gave him a thumbs-up while I patted him on the back saying,"Cool solution, dude!"

After a few minutes of quick discussion and planning a few things, Tessy went back after everything was finalised. Finnick made no signs of leaving sooner which made Anne suspicious but thankfully she didn't say anything and left.

"Discussion done. Anne and Tessy left. What about you?" I joked.

"Discussion done. Anne and Tessy left. I am not leaving without kissing you," was his prompt reply as he leaned in to kiss me. His kiss was cool and comforting as always. It made me forget about everything else. It made me forget about the dangerous mission I was to embark upon.

There were just two things going on in my mind.

Finnick and me.
