Shane and Leo visited Nickel and Happy in his house. Nickel is still searching for Zoey and already asked his best friend's help to find his son of a beep cousin. Due to the relationship they have, Shane and Leo are both conscious of Nickel as how are they going to handle the heavy feeling that they are feeling.
"Relax, both of you." Nickel said the couple as he is reaching all the messages and scams that he received wherein they are saying that they knew where the hell is Michael. The couple tried to soften their shoulders and released a deep breath. the atmosphere inside the house is too tense that even Happy is hiding under the pillow house Vernon made when he visited Nickel.
"Can you please help me read some of these messages. Maybe we can find a clue of where is that god damn Michael."
As everyone is reading and verifying some leads, Shane's phone rings.
MICHELLE calling.....
Shane picked up the phone and excused herself.
"Hello," she said after reaching the balcony. A fast breathing Michelle and car honks echoed the speakers of her phone.
"Michelle, are you driving fast?" Shane worries because the noise of the car reached her.
"Ate, there's no time for that I know where Kuya brought Ate Zoey!"
Shane immediately went to where Nickel and her husband have then pressed the loudspeaker. "What did you say?"
"Kuya Michael brought Ate Zoey into Granny C's mansion. Call the police now before Kuya do something to Ate Zoey."
Nickel stood up and took his jacket but when he was about to reach the doorknob, Shane called him that made him realize something.
"YOU DUMBASS! WHERE ARE GOING? DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE HELL IS GRANNY'S HOUSE?" Perhaps Shane is the only rational person in that house because even her husband is also fetching his jacket and was about to follow Nickel.
Nickel was nailed into where he is standing until Shane instructed him of what to do next. She didn't forget that this guy hasn't rested well since Zoey was abduct so she decided to forget about that for a while.
"Leo, call the police for escort. Nickel, tell Tito and Tita that we have a strong lead of where Zoey was being kept. Michelle, you troublemaker, slow down before you hit someone or hurt yourself."
Since Shane became a Cortez this is the first time Michelle heard her cousin-in-law shout and curse.
Nickel informed the Alcantara and promised to bring back Zoey as soon as possible. Leo, on the other hand, advised his wife to stay there as they went to his Granny's home and arrest his kidnapper cousin.
Obviously, the two suffered to a four-hour-long trip to reach the hideout of Michael. Metro Police teamed up with the San Antonio police department to arrest the suspect.
It was already late in the afternoon when Nickel, Leo, and Zick reached the said mansion and polices surrounded the area and prepared the precautions of the raid.
Leo, as on other Cortez, entered alongside Nickel and Zick.
Househelpers are all confused about why their young master went home without any notice to the Lady of the house. "Where is Michael?" Zick asked.
But before the house helper answers Granny C replied to his inquiry.
"And, who are you, by the way? How there you entered into my residence by asking my permission?" Granny C is like an epitome of a true villain at that time. Even Leo was about to piss in his pants if he was the one that was asked.
"Dr. Ziccolo Alcantara. Now that I have answered you, where is that mother fucker, Michael Cortez. Where is my sister?" True enough that Zick doesn't care whether you're an elder or not for him to respect you. It is on how you show yourself to others because for him you cannot earn respect with your age, you earn with your attitude.
Zick already lost his last strand of patience when Granny C acted as if she doesn't know what are they talking about. The police on the other side stand by outside the perimeter of the mansion. No one among them wants to mess with the old lady Cortez except the Chief Police (obviously it is his job).
"Madam Cortez, we have a search warrant against your grandson for the charge of kidnapping to Ms. Zoey Alcantara." The Chief Police said to make things in order.
Granny C stands her statement that her grandson wasn't at home.

As soon as Michael heard the commotion downstairs, he tied up Zoey and covered her mouth to avoid her on making any noise. He is decided not to bring or surrender back Zoey to Nickel. He was already planning on marrying her and to live the life he dreamt of.
But before he opened the door, Leo was already in front of them with some back up from the policemen.
He sneaks off some of the policemen and entered the mansion on the secret passage that he and his brothers knew when they want to escape nap time.
"Michael!"
*bang!*
