~RAYMOND~

I shifted my eyes from Mr. Anosova's retreating form and faced the computers in front of me. This looks weird. I haven't done any of this before and I'm finding it hard to monitor what is actually going on.

Each computer was showing different videos and my eyes were supposed to be monitoring them. How's that going to be possible? I only have two eyes, not four or more?

I heard footsteps behind so I averted my eyes slowly to the back but quickly brought it back when I saw from the corners of my eyes one of the videos pausing then the screen went off and came back on.

"What was that?" I asked the person who just came in.

"I think the camera there has been wrecked. We should call the boss."

I shove my hand into my pocket to bring my phone out but remembered I don't have his number.

"You don't have to use your personal phone. You should've plugged this in your ears." He took an earbud and fixed it into my ears.

" Now talk, he's going to hear."

Strange.

" Hello."

" Anything suspicious?" Dave answered immediately.

" The cameras at New Jersey airport have been smashed I guess."

" What? Since when?"

" A minute ago."

" Okay."

He didn't say anything else then I removed the earbud.

"Thanks, I didn't know what was going on."

"That's why I'm here." The man who looked older than me smiled friendly.

I wanted to return his smile but it was difficult. How on Earth am I going to smile when I have no assurance my sister is okay wherever she is.

I even tried to locate our parents but I failed miserably.

What am I even good at? Nothing. Perhaps that's why Leona didn't confide in me.

"You don't have to worry. It seems the kidnapper was the one who smashed the camera. Didn't you see how it happened?"

I shook my head slowly.

" Too bad but don't worry. There are enough men out there so they'll catch him."

" I hope so," I replied. I don't want to sit here and stare at these computers all day.

I want to get involved in this. Who knows what was happening to Leona.

I feel restless sitting down here and doing nothing.

"Do you have Mr. Anosova's personal contact?" I asked the older man.

"Yeah," he said and mentioned it for me.

~DAVE ~

"What the fuck happened?!" I yelled and paced back and forth at the airport.

All the men I assigned at this spot have been injured badly and police have now surrounded the area.

I rushed here the moment Raymond told me about the cameras and truly they were smashed. The cameras at the checkpoint before you enter the airport to be precise.

I wished I had fixed my own instead of depending on the ones here. It's too late to regret anyway.

"That was his car, Sir." One of my men pointed to the black Benz which was a few feet away from where I stood.
