The helicopter landed on top of the Sri corp. tower in no time.
Throughout the ride, Shreya just looked out without really saying or doing anything. But just as they touched down, her phone buzzed… and as soon as she looked at the message, her nonchalant eyes changed as if they were caught on fire in just seconds.
She jumped out as soon as she was cleared to go alight and her footsteps rushed towards the doors.
She did not even stop to make sure Abishek was following her.
She just left leaving behind a trail of very confused people dressed in black.
A few minutes later, she walked into her office and everybody's breath itched to their throats seeing her fierce eyes.
"What do you mean they are not there???" Shreya's voice seethed without really giving anyone time to take a second for themselves.
"Uhm… I mean… this evening, people went for routine supply to the island… after all, all the groceries have to be still supplied from the mainland and we never even got the chance to cancel the delivery with everything happening… Anyways the people who went to supply found something odd and called the authorities… when they reached the island, none of Charan's family was there… nor was Srinivas… All the other workers there had been knocked out unconscious without any knowledge of how they ended up in such a state…" Akash said everything he found out precisely and briefly knowing Shreya's moody state… he did not dare to mess around.
"Where are they? Do you know why they were taken?" Shreya asked again.
Pritham shook his head…
"The flight is missing and our suspect is nowhere to be seen. All the cops found was a pool of blood in the kitchen… and they suspect it is probably this girl… She is the only one missing in the staff." Pritham said showing the picture of Mary to Shreya.
As soon as Mary's picture came into her view… something flashed in her eyes… and her eyes invariably went towards Zack…
"CCTV?" Shreya asked.
Pritham once again shook his head and said, "They checked everything they could… CCTV's stopped recording 24 hours prior to the email… so we have no way of knowing what happened. And because of the security problem, I did not tell them about the panic room… anyways they won't be able to get in…"
"Where are they? I don't really care about anything else at this moment!!" Shreya mutter with her teeth clenched.
"We don't know yet… I am trying to get into the plane's GPS but it is going to be difficult if they had the technology to block satellite phones, covering their tracks when they fly is going to be a piece of cake," Pritham answered and kept his eyes trailed on the laptop in front of him where he had been trying to track the missing plane for about half-hour now.
"So, you are telling me you have no freaking idea where they are or whether they are alive or dead or who took them?" Shreya asked gritting her teeth.
Everyone in the room hung their head down just as Abishek reached them with Anne trailing in the front… Anne stopped when she found that the atmosphere in the room was not right… she was about to take him back when Shreya's voice rang…
"Sit him in your office… someone will be there to watch him…"
Shreya then gestured to Adam to arrange for the same.
Abishek did not move… his eyes trailed on the board behind Shreya for a second where there was a picture of the suspect was hanging…
His eyes squinched but he did not say anything and left.
Once he left, the atmosphere froze all over again…
"Uh… we did find something though…" Pritham hesitated and gave Shreya a tablet.
Shreya's eyes focused in on the screen… it was obviously CCTV footage.
From the looks of it, it was a parking lot where two girls walked in zig zags… on a closer inspection, you can see one of them is shit face drunk… while the other was heaving her along… when they came near, Shreya's eyes went ice cold. Her hands on the tablet tightened to the point where Pritham was afraid the screen was going to crack any moment now…
"But we don't think she revealed anything intentionally… she was in that state from the time the suspect approached her…" Adam pitched in.
Shreya did not say a word. Her eyes just kept trailing on the paused video heavily with ice and resentment.
The whole room came to a standstill to point of it being suffocation… even then none of the people in there dared to move a muscle…
At least that was until something pinged in Pritham's computer and his eyes widened looking at it.
"Shreya… the plane is going to land in our airport in about 45 minutes' time…" He said amazed by himself.
He thought they would have left for some godforsaken country by now so as the cripple them from finding their whereabouts. But he never thought they would end up coming back home.
Obviously, it would make their work a lot easier on home ground. The people they could mobilize here were not small and the time it would take to find something within the borders of the city was even less than that of other parts of the country.
SO, logically and practically it did not make sense for them to come here. Not after all the trouble, they went to kidnap a whole family from an island that was practically inaccessible.
But before any of them could react, Shreya was already out of the building as soon as she heard Pritham.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%!d(string=15043105205573105)/the-plane-is-going-to-land._%!d(string=51384097607565921)">#%!d(string=15043105205573105)/the-plane-is-going-to-land._%!d(string=51384097607565921)</a> for visiting.
She did not bother saying anything to anyone.
She went straight to the parking and got the fastest car in there and pushed on the peddles till it hit the floor. She was like a mad bull weaving through the road scaring everyone to make way for her.
She stopped only when she reached the airport.
Thankfully, Zack did his work and cleared the section of the VIP lounge, and also made arrangements for the people in the plane to be escorted to the VIP lounge by their own people.
And he himself was only a few minutes behind Shreya…
