THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING PEARL

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

As they sat for dinner they were questioned about their success by Erika's family members.

"Sorry mam we have not yet found anything about her... but we are sure that he have not traveled through rail routes, or by busses or airplanes. That leave the means of transport as a cab or a personal car or a helicopter... all this things are affordable by Sam so we can think of all this"; Jayson said.

"Or he could probably keep her in this town but somewhere secretive so we won't be able to find until we have found any clues"; Kane said.

"There wasn't anything on the cameras which we had a look... they mostly have tried avoiding those places..." Sapphire said.

"It was well planned'; Noel replied.

All were silent and started to eat their dinner.

"But if he was planning to kidnap her then why did he left along with her. He could have asked her to meet her somewhere out so that we won't doubt him"; Sapphire said.

That was actually a nice question to which no one had an answer.

"Was he trying to show that he is the one kidnapping her..." Noel asked.

"Are you dumb... if he was trying to show then why would he go back to his place to prove that he wasn't the one... and which kidnapper will show that he is kidnapping a person"; Sapphire said.

"Erika's call have been traced down where her cell was last switched off. You could probably go there to check"; granny said as she finished eating and got up of her place.

"And the cousins... I don't want you missing from the place or you would face the consequences"; she warned them before leaving.

The 4 was ofcourse surprised. They had already traced down her location. Their work was much faster then theirs. It was kind of being ashamed that even being such a high class detectives they were much slower then the granny.

"Maybe he want's something from her family members so he kidnapped Erika"; Noel said as he was sitting along with the others in the garden.

"Stop saying anything"; Sapphire said as she punched Noel on his head.

"Nope, Noel could be right... the family maybe hiding things and there would be some reason for kidnapping Erika... he wanted to show that he have kidnapped and maybe the family knows what he actually wants..." Kane said.

"We cant posiibly ask them about it, could we?" Sapphire asked.

"Lets go to the place that they have told... if we don't find any leads then we could possibly ask them about it"; Jayson said.

All agreed and decided to go back and leave early in the morning the next day.

All were up the next day and ready to move. The place was far by from the town. They surely had travelled by some means of transport then. They could have walked but seeing the duration of the cell being switched off it was obvious that they had travelled by means of some vehicle and not by helicopter as it would make them reach early.

Sam had reached the organization place at a perfect time. The time a person would require if they go by walk. But he could have managed that too.

It took them some time to reach there obviously but they had at last.

It was an isolated place. It was more like a dump area. No greeneries around. It also smelled foul. There was garbage thrown everywhere.

"They would have thrown the cell in the garbage... I guess that's the best clue to confirm her being here"; Sapphire said.
