They both reached the parking in no time.
"Let me drive. You inform others. " Zinu nodded and handed her the car keys. Zinu knew that she could not concentrate on driving.
On the way, Zinu called John. John received the call in a single ring.
"John Ronnie.... "
"Zinu, Karl informed me already. You don't worry. We are going to the airport. We will reach within four hours. Up to then please don't try to do anything yourself. Ronnie will be fine. He is the brave boy of brave mom. Please don't be panicked. And remember, Karl will record all the calls. The kidnapper can call any of our family members.
Ok? "
"John..... John. Will my child be fine? " John paused for two seconds. He can feel the pain of the broken heart from Zinu's sound. He closed his eyes in frustration.
"Zinu, he will. You just be patient. I am coming, darling. Don't worry. "
"Ok," Zinu said softly and hung up the call. She closed her eyes and kept her head on the back of the seat.
"Zinu, don't worry. Nothing would happen to our Ronnie. " Zinu nodded her head but said nothing.
Within ten minutes they reached the hotel. Alicia was waiting for them in the lobby. Karl and others were trying to find out the clues. They both went near Alicia, who was weeping there.
Dolly kept her hand on Alicia's shoulder.
"Mom, tell us how this happened?"Dolly asked her mother.
"We... we reached here one hour ago. They let us wait in a room. About half an hour ago a waiter came to the room and informed us that the music director sends him to fetch Ronnie. So he left with the waiter. But after two minutes of his departure, the assistant of the music director arrived there and told me that he had come to fetch Ronnie. I was confused. So, I told him that Ronnie is already left for the meet. But he informed me that he is not there. So, we searched for the whole hotel, but there is no sign of Ronnie."Alicia replied sadly.
"But what security guards were doing? They should be nearby."
"Yes. They were nearby, but can not come close to us. So, when they saw Ronnie along with the waiter, they could not follow him immediately. The waiter entered the lift and after that, he vanished."
"But mother how can he vanished in the lift?" This time Zinu asked, who sat down near Alicia tiredly after their arrival.
"I don't know Zinu. The guards were waiting near the room where the press meet had to be held. But he never comes there. Zinu, I am sorry. I can not protect your son. He ....he must be crying for you and John by now. I should have to go with him."
"Mother, don't blame yourself. It is not your fault."Zinu said.
"Yes, mom. It is not your fault. We all know that he is your precious grandson also. Don't worry, we will find him anyhow. Mom, you please go home. Zinu and I have to meet Karl now. Grandma must be worried. You should be with her. Sofia aunt just called me and informed me that she is crying. It would be harmful to her if she takes too much stress. It is not good for a heart patient."
"Ok. I am leaving." Alicia said and left the hotel hurriedly. She could not let her mother -in- law get I'll in this time.
Zinu and Dolly joined Karl, who was in the CCTV room.
"Karl, what have you found?"
Karl looked up and signalled them to take seats near him.
"Lady boss. It is strange. I have seen everything carefully. But no unusual activities can be detected here. All the cameras in the hotel are working properly. But no camera has captured Ronnie when he came out of the room. Everything seems to be normal. It is showing the assistant of the music director who came to the room after two minutes of Ronnie's disappear. I am trying to get more clues ."
"What? How is it possible? Mother said that a waiter came to fetch Ronnie. How he can not be captured by the camera?" Zinu asked .
"Yes, it is possible Zinu. Someone must have hacked the footage for that two or three minutes."Dolly replied after thinking a while.
" Oh my god! Now how can I search my child? My poor child! He must be scared!"
"Zinu, don't worry. I will find out the missing footage. But it will take some time." Dolly said with a calm voice. Zinu said nothing. What could she say now. She must wait.
"Karl what about the press meet? Had Ronnie's identity revealed already?" Dolly asked suddenly.
"No second lady boss, When I came to know the matter, I immediately postponed the press meet by saying that there were some technical problems. I sealed the hotel for the outsider and the people from the movie along with the guest of the hotel are kept in a hall for interrogation. I called the police for that, where our people are also present. So nobody could know that Ronnie is related to Smith's. "Karl replied.
" That's good. It would be more dangerous for Ronnie if his identity reveals."
"Yes, lady boss. I am trying to my best to keep it secret."
"Karl, now you go and see outside if you get any clue or not. I am here. Now I will try to recover the missing footage. " Dolly said.
"Yes. That will be good. The people in the interrogation room needs me. They were calling me again and again. Thank you for your help. " Karl said respectfully.
"Not mention. Now go. I am here. "
"Ok," Karl said and left hurriedly.
Zinu sat down with Dolly to see the footage from the beginning. Zinu felt tears when she saw Ronnie and Alicia were entering the hotel happily. He was speaking something nonstop. After entering the hotel they were taken to a room. After that, they could not see Ronnie again.
