SOPHIE THE HEIRESS

PSYCHOPAT TERROR

After a long day at work, Sophie finally felt a small sense of relief as she walked with Bryan toward the car. She knew he was there to protect her, a steady presence that had become almost reassuring as the days went on. But as they reached the car, everything happened in a blur. Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind Bryan. Before he could react, the figure jabbed a syringe into his neck.

In an instant, Bryan's body went limp, and he staggered before collapsing to the ground. Sophie barely had time to process what was happening before she felt a sharp prick on her own neck. Her vision started to blur as she tried to reach for her phone, desperately pressing the speed dial for Ali. The last thing she could manage was a weak, panicked cry. "Ali..."

Then darkness.

———————————

Ali had just finished some paperwork when his phone rang, and Sophie's name appeared on the screen. But before he could even say hello, he heard her frightened voice, "Ali..." followed by a sharp intake of breath. Her tone sent a chill down his spine.

"Sophie! Sophie, what's going on?" Ali yelled into the phone, but there was no answer—only silence on the other end. His heart pounded as he realized something terrible was happening.

Without wasting a second, Ali called Alex, his closest friend and ally in security matters. "Alex, something's wrong. Sophie and Bryan... I think they've been taken. I need your help right now."

Alex, already sensing the urgency in Ali's voice, didn't ask for details. "Hang tight, Ali. I'll have our hacker locate her phone. Give me a few seconds."

As Ali waited, he could feel his blood boiling, anger and fear mixing as he clenched his fists. Moments later, Alex's voice came back on the line, grave but calm. "Her phone's at the SOperbK parking lot, but Sophie isn't there. GPS shows her in a secluded location. We're tracking her movement now. Call the police, Ali. They'll need to start investigating immediately."

Ali's fingers dialed the police without hesitation. His voice was tense as he relayed the situation, making it clear that this was a kidnapping, orchestrated by a stalker who had been shadowing Sophie for days. The urgency of the case hit the officers on the other end, and they promised to mobilize immediately.

Within minutes, the police had arrived at SOperbK headquarters, securing the parking lot and reviewing CCTV footage. Ali, Alex, and the police chief gathered around the monitors, watching as the footage replayed. On screen, they saw the masked figure stealthily approach Bryan and Sophie in the parking lot, injecting them both with something that caused them to fall unconscious.

The camera footage then showed the man dragging Sophie into an unmarked car, tossing her phone aside before speeding off. Ali clenched his jaw, watching the scene unfold, feeling helpless yet determined. The psychopath had planned this meticulously, but Ali was determined to make him pay.

Alex turned to the hacker, who was intensely focused on his monitor. "Do we have a lock on her location yet?"

The hacker nodded, typing rapidly. "It's a moving signal. They're headed towards the outskirts of the city, somewhere remote. I'm narrowing it down... almost there."

Ali's fists tightened, his thoughts racing. "I'm coming for you, Sophie," he whispered to himself, a fierce resolve in his eyes.

Just then, an unknown number flashed on Ali's phone. He quickly showed it to Alex and the chief of police, who advised him to answer it on speaker so they could try to trace the call. Ali nodded, steeling himself as he picked up the phone.
