Chapter 20.

It didn't take long for a team to arrive just taking the handful of people that we still had out here waiting for a call about a sighting or possible hang out spot, they surround the car guns at the ready waking the neighbourhood as people start peaking through their curtains. I even saw Pat pulling all the children away from the windows at one point.

Once I knew everything was under control here I rushed back to my car and headed to Carlos's address that Celia had texted me, it wasn't too far from where I parked and I knew a team of people would have arrived before me to I didn't have to worry about parking down the road. Instead, I pull up right outside.

Something was worrying when you find guys in full uniform talking to the neighbours taking notes instead of place guys in handcuffs.

Getting out of the car I rush over to one of the guys asking what had happened.

"When we arrived there was no one here a few of the neighbours stepped out and told us they witnessed a fight before two guys were pushed into a car." I look around the place there were tire marks from where the car took off in a hurry and there was another guy currently placing a rock into a bag and I walk over taking the bag from him.

Blood.

Then looking up I find more blood on a wall and some dots off the blood on the floor.

There was a fight and now we needed to know if the blood had come from one person or more.

"What's being done? Is there cameras around here for us to ID the car and the guys?" I start looking around trying to find a street camera or even some neighbours who have home security cameras.

"There's a street camera down there we have someone watching the footage as we speak, we can only hope that it caught the car but it caught the fight." I stand there as people work around me, there was nothing I could do right now.

It's not like we knew their location and I could take off and go pick him up, we had no clue who's blood that was yet and all we could do was wait and hope we could find some kind of clue on where they might have been taken.

***

The camera didn't catch the car but a neighbour had mentioned the licence plate having seen it hanging around the street for the past few months, sometimes nosy neighbours were useful. So a team of people looked into the nearby street cameras until they found a match during the time slot of the fight, following the car until he drove to the sketchy part of town and there were fewer cameras to keep track of the car.

It took two days to find the location they were being held, not being able to raid every empty house or warehouse without giving ourselves away meant we had to be careful how we went about this taking our time but with taking our time came the idea that something could have happened to Carlos and Enzo.

Pat had been nice enough to welcome me to the orphanage letting me stay there during the night, Penelope had brought Bella as well who had caused quite the fuss about being there when they found her brother. She was on lockdown at the orphanage unable to leave in case someone who knew her saw her and told someone who could put her life in danger.

The waiting part was the worse for everyone.

On the third day some agents who had been undercover as homeless people in the area we had closed in knowing one of the empty places would be their hiding spot a team of agents including myself and Penelope were in full gear in the back of a van ready to make our raid.
