“ Charlie, Did you see any little girl?" The thug who had brought Aimee back asked the truck driver who was standing in front of his truck sipping beer.

“ Oh...Anna?" Charlie the truck driver replied as he gulped down a huge amount of bee

“ Yes. It seems you know where she is" the man said angril

“ Chill Liam. She's safe with me" Charlie said calml

“ How dare you take her out of her tent. Boss could kill you for that

“ Kill me? Or you careless thugs" Charlie chuckled “ Why would I be killed? Huh? For finding a little girl wandering behind the factory??" Charlie said shaking his hea

“ Oh...eh..um" Liam stammere

“ You see, I saved your sorry asses" Charlie said as he gulped in another volume of beer from his ca

“ Uhmm...thank. You" Liam said embarrasse

“ Was behind the factory I said" Charlie said as he laughed out lou

“ What! You must be joking" Liam said as he ran towards the back of the factory in search of Ann

He got there but spotted only burnt clothes and no sign of a living thing. He was so scared and ran back towards Charlie's location

“ You crazy MF...how could you leave her there????" He yelled at the truck drive

“ leave her where

“ Don't play dumb with me. I'm going to blow your stupid head off" Liam yelle

Liam was newly recruited into the Grucs and loved his life so much though he acted all tough. He was just twenty five and had a long way ahead of him

Charlie just laughed as Liam released bullets into the air to silence the annoying truck driver. He was really getting on his nerve

The gun shots was so loud that everyone in the camp heard it... even the spies in the club heard faint sound of it. The hostages were really scared.

The truck driver kept on laughing even after the gun shots

“ You piece of sh**" Liam yelled as he dropped his gun to choke Charli

“ Said she WAS behind the factory" Charlie said as he emphasized on the word ‘ was

Charlie didn't struggle as Liam tried to choke him, rather he kept on laughing

Liam was already pissed off and took his gun from the ground and pointed at Charlie who was having fun all along

“ Little girl wanted some fresh air" Charlie said as he took in the last liquid in his beer can. “ She should be in her tent by now" Charlie said as he patted Liam's shoulder. “ So much temper..." He said and got back into his truck while Liam ran towards the tent to see Anna talking with Aimee. He felt so relieved and headed back to the truck drive

Joe just drove into Venu and was still on its outskirts when he also heard the gun shots coming from the woods. Driving to Venu took few hours while flying few minutes

He quickly stopped his car by the roadside. The road was lonely as there were no houses only tall trees on both sides of the roads. He got out of his car and surveyed the whole place at the same time waiting to hear another gunshot. He opened his google map to check his location. He saw he had arrived in Venu and was at the outskirt

Where could the gunshot had come from he asked himself. He wanted to go into the woods but was unsure of what was really happening and he wasn't armed as well

“ Yours right?" Anna said as she handed Aimee the phone she had picked up earlie

“ Ohh...Anna" Aimee whispered as she hugged the little girl. “ How did you- " Aimee said as she examined her phone. It was still aliv

“ It fell off the clothes the truck driver was carrying. He didn't notice so I picked it up. It was the same phone in your pocket when you were talking to me at the bank. So I guessed it was yours" Aimee sai

“ Very smart girl" Aimee commended her and patted the little girl's head gentl

“ Okay that's better than worse" Tom said as he beaded back to the other part of the tent where the other guys were discussin

Henry saw when the truck left with the gir

He quickly got out of his tent and ran straight to Anna's as he had seen when they took her to the other tent

As he got into her tent, he was shocked to see Aimee and at the same time relieved

“ Aimee" he whispered as she moved over to hug he

Henry was the only guy she could trust right now as he had not betrayed her or lied to her at leas

“ What plan?" Henry sai

“ I didn't know" Aimee said embarrassed. “ But at least,with-" Aimee was yet to speak as Henry covered her mouth. He heard footsteps approaching and vehicles as well moving into the camp. Aimee heard it as well immediately he covered her mout
