It rang for a long time before someone picked up and grumbled, "Do you freaking know what freaking time it is??"

Dhruv's voice came through the phone irritated.

Only reason Dhruv was still out and about because he never killed anyone personally.

Even when he was cruel and cold, he never killed anyone. It came from having a sister..

Even if not now, he knew someone somewhere will always find out that they were family and when that time came, he did not want to leave the legacy of a killer's sister to his sister. So, no matter what happened, no matter how desperate he got, he never killed anyone.

No matter how much anyone paid him, he never relented.

His specialty was, of course, the extraction of information. He was very good at reading people and torture techniques.

Naren had used this talent to the maximum. Once he was done getting whatever information is needed, Naren will send his own guys to finish the job.

This was the condition with which he had actually agreed to join Naren in the first place.

"Dhruv, this is Shreya.." Shreya said straight away not bothering to comment on what he said.

"I know.. What do you want?" Dhruv grumbled. Of course, he knew her number by heart by now. And he also recognized her voice. If possible, he really wished he could hang up on her. He had just gone to bed.

"I want you to track someone down for me!" Shreya answered and sent him the pictures of Abishek's daughter and her husband.

"I thought tracking people down is your specialty.." He couldn't keep the sarcasm out of his voice. After all, she was the one who had tracked his long-lost sister in a matter of a feeling half hour.

But then, the situation now was different since this was not a lost person but someone being kidnapped. That too in the middle of the night. Her system is pretty useless for the present condition because the kidnappers are not exactly going to walk into stores with their victim's faces flashed out in the open.

"It is.. but if I am guessing it right, this should be done by Naren and it should be one of the secret groups he trusts absolutely. People have been kidnapped. And I do not have enough time to ask around. You should be able to do it fast. I just need their location, our guys are on stand-by. They will go in. You do not need to go.." Shreya instructed and once again cut the call before he could agree or deny it.

Dhruv couldn't help glare at the phone.

He really must have owed Shreya a lot in his past life!! She almost felt like an aunt!

But then, he still got to work.

Just as she cut the call, Zack called, "Shreya, you sure you want to go in alone? It is very obviously a trap!"

"I know.. I wouldn't take unnecessary risks.. don't worry. Anyways, our people are going to be just a call away. The smallest sign of trouble, I will call for you..", Shreya answered decisively.

"You guys just have to be ready when I call for you! Don't worry, Zack. I will be fine!" Her voice softened when she said the last part.

So far when she talked, there was a sense of detachment in them as if she was talking to her employee and nothing more. But when she said the last part, there was something comforting in them.

"Okay, you take care baby girl! I will see you when you get back.." Zack said and hung up. He knew he cannot talk her out of it. For a person who looks easygoing on normal days, Shreya was pretty stubborn and bossy.

Shreya got a call back from Dhruv.

"You found her?" Shreya asked without giving him time to even greet.

"No.. I did not find her yet. But I found who took her! At least part of the team, I think. It's a team of 6 people. I sent their photos to your mail. They didn't show up for their day jobs in a week." Dhruv answered.

Shreya took out her tablet and opened her emails.

"Okay, Dhruv. Thanks. I owe you one!" Shreya said but she did hang up the phone before he could add to it.

Dhruv also sent their details along with the photos.

Shreya forwards the email to Prithum to trace them ASAP.

All of them worked out of a garage. All ex-convicts. Specialized in different fields. But they are most proficient in getting in and out of a place undetected. One of them is a mechanic.

Shreya kept staring at the information for a long time.

Going in and out of a place by themselves is way different from getting another body in and out of a place.. And they had kidnaped two people.

That takes a different set of skills and resources..

If the goal was the kidnap and lure, Naren wouldn't have gone to this group. He made the call to Zack.

"Zack, something isn't right here.. These are high-profile thieves. They are not fit for heavy lifting. Check, in and around the place where Abhishek's daughter and her family live. They wouldn't have taken her far. I am afraid, they hadn't transported her at all. They probably detained her against her will in her own apartment just like they are holding Abishek in his safe house. They are not going to be confident doing this out in the open!" Shreya said.

"Okay, I will check it out.." Zack answered.

"Also, take some cops with you.. but take someone we know and ask them to keep it a secret for now. Something isn't right about this whole situation.. be careful." Shreya said.

Before Zack could reply, her phone beeped indicating 2 hours time is up..

"How far along are we?" Shreya asked hanging up on Zack.

"Half hour more.. I did not know the roads around here can be so damn bumpy.." Zeenath said frustrated.
