Chapter 494 - 494: Need to Calm Down

Sandy tried to follow the van where Elle was taken by unknown men. She already contacted Erick. He was rushing to her current location now, following Sandy's instruction. Sandy was riding a taxi. Many cars were escorting the van where Elle was currently riding.

"Mister, please go faster! Follow that white van. They kidnapped my friend!" Sandy urged the taxi driver to drive faster.

But the old driver was a little bit nervous. "Maám, did you report it already to the police?"

"Yes, I am currently talking to a police detective now. SO focus on driving! We can't lose them! Keep tailing them or else, something bad might happen to my friend!" Sandy was really anxious and scared to death for Elle's safety.

Erick, on the other hand, was driving 160 kilometers per hour. His heart was beating like the speed of his car right now. He was silently praying that Elle would just be fine and he would be able to catch up with them.

He almost bumped into a few cars in the streets. He even used his siren for the other cars to give way for him. He needed to move fast. Elle and their baby were both in danger. He won't be able to forgive himself if something bad would happen to them.

'F*CK, will I fail again in protecting her?' 

Erick was about to go nuts. He was very worried and afraid of what was about to happen. He felt useless. Whenever Elle would be in danger he was not there to protect her.

He also asked for help from the policemen near that area. He asked them to stop white vans who would pass by in their checkpoints. Officer Kim's team was also mobilized.

Despite all the efforts, Sandy and Erick failed to follow Elle. The enemies were able to find out that someone was tailing them. They immediately lured them and changed routes. Sandy followed the wrong van. The moment they arrived in an abandoned warehouse, it was empty.

Erick and other policemen were also deceived. Now they didn't know where the culprits brought Elle. He didn't know what to do. He kicked and punched his car several times until his hand bled. Erick was mad to himself. He was not able to protect Elle once again.

Sandy and Officer Kim didn't know how they would comfort Erick at times like this. His eyes were already red from crying. He couldn't help it.

"Chief Lee, calm down first," Officer Kim tried to speak to him.

"How am I supposed to calm down? My woman… she's in danger once again. And I didn't know where to find her. They destroy even her phone so that I will not be able to track her location!" Erick burst out in front of Officer Kim.

This time Sandy approached Erick. "Chief Lee… listen to me. There's something I need to tell you. Aliyah wanted me to relay a message for you."

Erick quickly focused his attention on Sandy. He held her shoulders and asked her desperately, "What is it? Please tell me? What happened back there?"

"We were on our way to the restaurant when she noticed that there were men following us behind. She asked me to leave her. She knew that once I was with her, my life would also be put in danger. As if she already knew that she was the target of those men. Before I left her, she told me to relay her message for you." Sandy started telling Erick and Officer Kim what happened.

"She told me to watch on the sideline and call you, Chief Lee. She said she would buy time but everything happened so fast. There were lots of men who approached her. They were armed so Aliyah had no choice but to follow them quietly."

"She said no matter what happens today you must be strong. Be calm and clear your mind so that you will know what to do next. You have to trust her. She will protect your baby at all costs."

"And most importantly, she wanted to tell you that… this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself."

Erick was taken aback when he heard that. As if Elle already knew how he would react that's why she asked Sandy to tell him those words.

"Is that all?" Erick asked Sandy, his grip on her shoulders tightened. But Erick was trying his best to calm down.

Sandy shook her head and continued, "She said Code Red. I didn't know what she meant by that."

Erick frowned after hearing that because he also didn't know what Code Red means. But there was one person who crossed his mind. It's Phantom. Phantom might know what Elle was referring to.

'That's right! I must inform my father-in-law about this. I also need help from James. We have to find my wife, as soon as possible," Erick thought to himself.

With that thought in mind, Erick immediately said goodbye to Sandy and Officer Kim. He was rushing to meet Phantom and James. If this was the work of the Dark Knight Organization then he couldn't trust all the police officers. It was better to seek help from Phantom and James.

*************

Meanwhile, Elle together with the men who kidnapped her already arrived in their hideout. Erick and Elle's suspicion was right. This incident was related to the Dark Knight Organization.

Those men brought Elle to the Dark Knight Organization's main headquarters. This was their strategy. After investigating Erick's background, they found out that Aliyah Ross was a very important person to Erick.

They didn't know about her true identity yet but they discovered that Erick and Elle were already living together under one roof. They assumed that Elle was his girlfriend. Snake had also confirmed to them that Aliyah and Erick were acting very close for the past few weeks.

Snake also knew how important Aliyah to Erick because she looked like Elle, the woman he loved whom they thought died two years ago. They brought Elle into a room and locked her up while waiting for further instructions from the Dark Lord.
