I'm sorry what ...?!

Lien's POV

5.30 am

Do you sometimes wake up earlier than your alarm, and feel so freaking sleepy but just can't go to sleep ? Well that's what's going on right now.

No matter how hard I tried keeping my eyes closed, no matter how many clouds I counted or how many times I tried clearing my mind, nothing.

I was still wide awake.

Maybe it's for the best, after everything that has been happening with Viktor it feels kind of better to ride alone. Plus, it's not often I get to do it.

So I went up and got ready as quietly as I could knowing he was still asleep at this hour.

I knew where all our guards were placed in the house, which meant I also knew where they weren't. Basically sneaking out of the house was easy, the hard part was getting in without anyone noticing.

Thankfully, I only had to worry about getting out right now. 'Cause they won't let me go out alone if they see me, but they will let me back in when I arrive home.

Before going any further I went to the bathroom and poured a s**t ton of water on the ground an unscrewed some stuff that were on the pipes and fountains. You'll thank me later I promise..

I quickly made my way through the house, passing through the kitchen and the storage room and made it to the garage.

All of these were easy to pass through since no guards were there, and why would they ? To protect the tomatoes ? But the garage however was quite important, especially when it's filled with cars worth a few too many million dollars. At this time of day only Jake stood here, and thanks to planning ahead this should be quite easy to get through without being busted for lying.

I took out my phone and sent him a message to check water leakage in my bathroom and the second I heard him close the garage door behind him, I sprinted to my keys and jumped in my car driving out.

Now the people guarding the gates had no job apart from not letting strangers in unless told otherwise. So they thankfully don't care if I'm alone or with a hundred others when I get in and out.

"Good morning" I greeted the last guard opening the last gate before I pressed down even more on the gas pedal making my way through the city.

Damn this felt good. I mean it would have been better if I had a sandwich and coffee with me, so why not make it better, eh ?

I stopped at the nearest Starbucks and ordered myself an ice coffee with an extra shot of espresso and some snacks I found on the counter. This should be good enough.

After paying I walked towards the door and headed out and went to my car but someone yelling stopped me.

"Lien ?" The unfamiliar voice said as I turned around to see a man dressed in a long black trench coat leaning against a car.

"Who's asking ?" I asked back as he got of the car and walked towards me.

"Hi, my name is Lukas. I'm a businessman and I was supposed to meet Dimitri, but he never made it. I was here to grab a coffee and recognized you. I thought I could check with you if you know anything ?" He said as I knew something was off.

If he truly were having a meeting with Dima he would know the Dima is in Russia. I know that he isn't that ignorant to forget telling a businessman about rescheduling..

"No idea. I will tell him to call you, nice meeting you" I said trying to get out of there as fast as I could getting a bad feeling.

"Actually-" He said pulling my arm making me freeze.

"You're coming with me and if you make a noise this knife will be buried deep inside you" he said lightly pressing a sharp knife towards my stomach and leading me towards his car before opening the door and throwing me in.

"Phone ?" He said as he got in too locking my doors.

"Uhm.."

"I said phone !" He yelled making me quickly take it out as he opened the window throwing it out before driving away.

Ah shit..

•••

6.55 my phone read.

Damn I was late again...

Let's hope Lien hasn't done anything stupid yet..

I got up quickly throwing on a shirt and walked down the stairs to the kitchen where Clarissa stood with breakfast all done.

"Good morning" I greeted her making a smile appear as she looked up.

"Good morning" she greeted back.

"Hasn't Lien got up yet ?" I asked as Jake and Ivan walked in.

"Lien is long gone.." Ivan sighed almost smashing the table while throwing his phone.

"What do you mean, long gone ? Why did no one inform me ?" I asked as Jake took a seat.

"Cause we just found out looking at the security cameras. Her car pulled out the driveway at 6.17" Jake said rubbing his eyes.

"Please tell me there's a tracker-?" I started asking but Ivan's phone started ringing.

He took the call putting the phone up to his ear and listened for a second before his face got drained out of colour.

"Are you sure ?" He asked before waiting a second and hanging up the phone.

"She never made it to school, our people watching her said she was never there this morning" Ivan said.

"Again, please tell me there is a tracker" I asked as Jake nodded taking his phone again and checking it.

"Starbucks.." He said.

"For real ? She skipped school to go to f*****g Starbucks ?" I asked.

"Let's go" Ivan said collecting his stuff and heading to the garage as we all got into our car and drove to her location.

"I'll go" Ivan said as we arrived and parked the car in front of the entrance, but I quickly disagreed.

"No I'll go"

"Dude no offense but the last thing we need right now is you two fighting. I'll go in and get her and get out in no time" he said walking towards the door as I froze.

"I don't think that will be necessary, she's not even here" I said as they both looked at me confused.

"Call Andrey now !" I said picking up her phone from the ground and sprinting back to the car jumping in the driver’s seat.

She has been taken..

Later in the company

"Now what ?" Andrey asked as we all sat quietly.

"We can't do anything, Andrey. For the hundredth time we have to wait until Dima arrives or until they make contact" Ivan answered as I wanted to get beat up till death.

This is my f*****g fault.

I had one job. One damn job and I couldn't even take care of it !

"When will he be here ?" Jake asked.

"At least 2 more hours" Ivan replied.

Great.. I'm not sitting around..

I got up taking her phone from the table and stormed out as I heard everyone yell.

"Let him go.. he knows what he's doing" was the last thing I heard Andrey say before I got in my office.

Okay it can't be that she threw out her phone herself.. someone must have had it..

If someone had it, they touched it.

I ran back to the office and opened the door as all heads turned towards me.

"Do you have coco powder ?" I asked.

"I'm sorry what ?" Jake asked as I looked at Andrey.

"I'll check with the staff in kitchen.." he said before walking out too.

"Please tell me you're not actually using it to do what I think you're gonna do" Ivan said.

"No I'm not making a f*****g cake" I replied before looking around the office for tape.

"Tell Andrey to bring it to my office" I said before walking out and back into my office.

I quickly scanned the phone for any fingerprints and placed it carefully on the table to not f**k them up.

"Here you go" Andrey said handing me the box of coco powder.

"I need a brush"

"A what now ?" He asked

"Like a makeup one or something fluffy"

"Jesus make this harder will you ?" He sighed before getting back out.

I quickly took some of the coco powder pouring it on the table beside the phone and made a little pile so I could dip the brush in later.

After a few minutes Andrey was back.

"I got it from the receptionist, we should probably give it back" he said as I dipped it in the powder.

"Never mind.. she probably rather not have it.." he said as I rolled my eyes and dusted the phone with the coco powder revealing a few fingerprints.

I carefully took some tape trying to not mess it up and laid it on top of the dusted fingerprints and pealed it off carefully. I tried catching all the fingerprints but the ones on the curves and edges were a bit harder to copy. Let's hope this will do.

"Run a scan on all these 9 prints" I said handing them to Andrey.

"Okay, it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. Will you be here ?"

"Yes, just call me or meet me in the office" I said as he nodded before taking off.

*ring ring*

"Hello ?" I picked up the phone as a random number appeared on the screen.

"Viktor Ovich"

"Who's this ?" I asked already sensing what the call is about.

"Not important for now. How's Lien doing by the way ?" They asked as I quickly ran to the office where Jake and Ivan where seated and put the call on speaker.

"What do you want ?" I asked him quickly signalling for the others to stay quiet.

"Dimitri Amelin.. him for lien" the man on the other line said as Jake quickly took out his laptop trying to track where their call came from.

"Once he arrives you'll hear from me" the man said before hanging up.

"Did you get anything ?" I asked Jake as he shook his head causing me to throw my phone across the room.

"It's a burner phone, but he hung up before I could get the address" Jake said.

"Now what ?" Ivan asked.

"We wait for Andrey. I gave him some prints off the phone to run a scan on" I said as they both looked almost surprised.

•••

20 minutes later

"What have you got ?" I asked Andrey picking up the phone and putting it on speaker as both Ivan and Jake quietened down.

"Okay, 3 of the prints were yours. 4 were Liens and 2 belong to a guy named Lukas Da Vinte"

"Who's that exactly ?" I asked as they all stayed quiet.

"Okay Jake, run a background check on him. Ivan I want you to see if he somehow is involved with lien's school, or a particular kid that goes there named Brian" I said as they both nodded and walked out.

"I gotta get Dimitri from the airport, he should be landing soon. Are you coming along ?" Andrey asked.

Let's see, do I wanna spend my last 30 minutes in a car on the way to the airport before getting murdered by Dima, or do I sit here and do something and get an extra 30 minutes ?

Close call, but I gotta take my chances..

"No, I gotta check something with the IT group" I said as he nodded before collecting his stuff and walking out.

Lien's POV

"I got her" The man apparently named Lukas said with the phone on his ear before waiting for a while and hanging up.

"So what do you actually want ?" I asked trying to test the waters.

"That's not for you to worry about sweetheart" he said.

Really ? Cause I swear I'm the one who was forced into the car with a knife to their stomach and currently locked up in the back of a car and had my phone thrown out...

"Maybe I can help you ?" I asked hoping he's actually stupid enough to believe that.

"You see kid, this is for the adults to handle. But if you want you can maybe ask fake daddy to inform you sometime as a bedtime story what actually happened back in the past" he said as I couldn't get more confused.

What the hell does he mean happened back in the past ?

Before I even had time to think he stopped the car in the middle of nowhere.

I would ask where we are, but I think I can already imagine the answer..

"Get out" He said unlocking the door and I got up.

Before he could say anything else I quickly tried to throw a punch and land it on his face. He groaned in pain giving me a chance to run.

"You b***h" he sighed before chasing me and causing me to trip to the ground and scratch my arms and even face.

He quickly tied my hands together before pulling me up to walk.

Great...

"Let's go" He said pushing me to walk to a little rusty old house. It looked impossible for it to have more than one room 'cause of how tiny it was.

We walked towards it and he locked up the door with some key he had before pushing me forward.

"Get in" He said, and I knew there was no point in arguing right now. I had to be smart about this..

Let's just hope the others were smart about this too..
