Chapter 604 - Spike these

By the time they could finally lock down the last place it was next day morning at ten o'clock. It was after eighteen+ hours of Sky being kidnapped.

Since Arlo had locked down the city, Kidnappers couldn't cross city limits. Due to him, they managed to track even during the night. Olivia, George, Georgia didn't know about this kidnap.

Loran had to know as Sky always called and spoke with him around dinner time and morning with good morning message which was the minimal things excluding other calls. But Jai didn't allow him to go the capital.

During their process, they met military personnel too but they didn't talk and continued with their process.

Sam had to stay in Harley if they couldn't find Sky, so he waited for Arlo and others to reach the location and send him information.

The place had nearly fifty houses.

All split and checked as faster as they could. They were attracting lots of attention since the cops were around, they weren't stopped anywhere.

When they reached the underground complex, Arlo's team and military were faces to face. Both entered to see a man's back facing them and a woman's slender fair hands wound around his waist.

When the man turned back, Arlo's team and other team froze.

Sky peeked at Arlo and others with a smile. She didn't look like somebody had been tortured or somebody who was troubled.

All sighed looking at the brother and sister.

Arlo had underestimated Jai and his team.

Four men whose faces were covered whispered something to Jai and they left the underground. All saw three men and a woman tied down to each other.

Arlo ignored everyone and checked on Sky before pulling her to embrace.

"I'm here, I'm here... Nothing happened to me. I'm perfectly alright. Arlo, relax..." Sky had to calm him knowing his heartrate and he looked weary to which her heart ached a lot.

He kept holding her hand while Sky had to give a statement about what happened to the Military team.

When Sky went to the washroom. She was washing her hands when somebody inserted a syringe on her neck. She felt dizzy initially to which she held on to the washing bowl to be steady herself.

When she thought she could move, she felt herself go numb and vision became blurry. Other than hearing and feeling the touch, she wasn't able to move or even fall down.

Her neck chain, earring, wristwatch and finger ring were removed and somebody made her wear a jacket with a hoodie which covered her face.

She was feeling somebody holding her shoulders around and with a steady force of the push, she moved her leg but she couldn't fight or move another side. She wanted to shout but failed.

They took the elevator from the third floor to the ground. When exiting entrance, she had lost balance but somebody held her shoulder at the right time and pushed her into the car.

She alighted eight times and entered different cars. She had got hold of her senses when she exited the last car to the underground but she was still feeling weak hence she didn't try much to escape.

After making her sit on the chair, they gave her food and they knew she was back to senses.

They spoke for the first time. "We will not hurt you if you listen to us. Eat now."

But what she couldn't understand was none of them spoke anything with anybody. She was only hearing traffic vehicles sound and sirens when they were on the road.

When Sky ignored eating and they had tried to coax her to eat which made her even more amazed. They didn't order, not even raised voice on her. They didn't even tie her or made her unconscious.

But she declined again, "I don't eat food outside."

A man went outside. He came back after some time and brought her packed fruit juice and snacks. "We can't spike these."

She saw a sealed cap of the juice bottle. She had tried to squeeze and see if any hole was present but didn't find anything.

Snack packs were air-filled hence when she tested, the air was still present in the pack.

She almost felt like watching a mute movie eating snacks and juice. Since she had no idea if people were outside or not, she had to time pass to know the situation.

What was more shocking was, they prepared a place for her to rest and even asked her to sleep. But she didn't sleep.

When she tried to ask them anything they only said 'Please be quiet.'

When she asked in different ways. 'Please be quiet.' was the only reply she got.

After she heard noises outside, she got to know it was morning. They brought packets of snacks and tetra pack milk for her breakfast.

When she finished, she heard the tune of a mobile switching on and that man went out. He came back after a few minutes.

After less than an hour, Jai reached with his team.

--

"But I got bitten by many mosquitoes." Sky finished and looked at her hands. She had red marks on neck and legs too.

After hearing her whole story in her surprised tone all were perplexed. But hearing her pitiable tone for mosquitoes bites instead of kidnap, they didn't know how to react.

"Thank you for cooperating President Harley. We will leave now." A man from the military team spoke.

"Hey wait!" Sky called and asked when they turned to her, "Why are you all trying to protect me? Who is giving you orders?"

He didn't reply but a faint smile appeared on the stern-faced soldier before they left.

Sky looked at her hand which was still held by Arlo who was too quiet. Since he didn't like to talk in front of others, she didn't leave his hands too.

She looked at Peter and asked, "Peter! What happened to Uncle Jeff and Ethan? How are they?"

"President Smith had arranged top surgeons for President Jeff. So the operation was a success and he is shifted to Sigma hospital for further treatment. Ethan Jeff is fine and he is getting treated in Sigma too."

Her clutch on Arlo's hand naturally tightened.
