finding him

*Lauren's POV//On phone to Emilio*
The whole way to Target, I make sure Emilio is still on the line. We've asked him why he can't just go. "Because, Connor locked the door from the other side!" Its hard for Ivan. I have never seen him this upset before. Not even on video. I keep hugging him and making sure he is comfortable. "Shh..I hear him coming down the stairs. How far are you?"
"We're 5 minutes away."
"Okay ill put phone on brightness level 0. Stay on the line but mute yourself."
I do as Emilio says and we hear a thud. A voice, Connor, could be heard. "Guys, shh. Connor is on the line now." We all fall silent and listen closely to what is being said. "You are never going to leave this. Nobody is going to find you...ever. Nobody knows about this place." He laughs. "You and your stupid Team, are going down. Each night, 235am, you are going to help me, capture the Team. And we will leave just one person alone. They won't know what to do. They won't! Hah." He chuckles to himself.
"No! You can't!"
"Don't speak! And yes I can! I am and you're going to help me."
"I refuse! I'm not! I'm not going to do what you say!"
"You will or I will kill you!" We all gasp and Ivan starts to cry uncontrollably. "He doesn't mean it Emilio. He said this to me in the past but look, I'm still here." That calms him down a little bit. We arrive at Target. The whole way, we heard the conversation between Connor and Emi. On the phone, I heard a door open and then shut and then lock. "Guys." We hear. I unmute the call and speak "yes we're here."
"You need to be careful. He said he is going to tak-"
"We heard Emilio. We are at Target now. We're coming to get you." Jake says. We lock the doors and run across the road to the car park. We parked away as we thought Connor might recognise the Tesla. "Where is this place?" Declan asks. I get a hold of his hand and he squeezes it. I peck his lips. "Guys! Now is most definitely not the time." We laugh and lock lips. "Follow me." Jake says. Declan takes the phone from me and speaks to Emilio. "Emi, it's me Declan. We are coming now. Is there any window or some sort that you can see behind you or in the room facing Target?"
"Uh. There's an emergency door but that's locked. I tried it when he first locked me in."
"Hmm. Is there any window or anything, no?"
"No. Just the door."
"Okay cheers bud."
"We can try that door." Jake says. We walk round and some stairs lead somewhere. "Down here." Jake takes the lead. He knocks on the emergency door, catching Emilio's attention. Emilio shoos us as Connor shuts the door behind him. "What you looking at?!" He raised his voice slightly. He walks towards the door and we slowly make our way, crouching away from it. "Nothings there Emilio. Nobody knows that this is down here. I told you!"
