CH 12

"What?!!!" Robert cried out.

"How did it happen?" Robert followed up.

The driver explained everything that had happened so far.

"Ok, I understand. Get back here" Robert instructed.

"Yes, Young Master."

Robert immediately cut the call and moved to his system. Few minutes later, the lines of blue letters showed up again.

Robert had instructed that anything that happens to his Elder sister should be reported to him and him alone. Unknown to anyone but himself and his parents, Rose was once kidnapped when she was once a little child of 5 years. This made Robert tell his parents to install a tracker at the back of her ear.

When that news came, coupled with his mother's hypertension, she immediately went into shock. After diagnosis, turns out his mother's heart was failing.

Robert and his Father agreed not to tell Rose anything, lest she thinks it's all her fault that it happened.

Robert quickly clicked a few buttons to activate the tracker. Almost immediately, a red dot appeared in the location map.

It was unknown when The driver came back, he stood at Robert's back. Robert stood up grabbed his jacket and moved to go out.

"Young Master, where are we going to?"

"To get my sister and deal with a few b*stards" Robert said as he grabbed his keys along with driver following behind him.

As Robert got in the car, he immediately imputed the location into the car's gps and then he drove off.

**********

Damien was lying on his bed expecting a message from Rose that she had gotten home as she never fails to beep him.

*Beep beep*

Damien immediately check his message, only to seen an unread message and a picture from an unknown no. Damien clicked it open and immediately he finished reading the message he immediately grabbed his jacket and ran out. It contained a picture of an unconscious Rose. The message read;

"Street XX, Warehouse 123. Come alone if you don't want to see her hurt and bring with you $**,***,***.'

"Do we really have to call him?"

"You know we had another hitjob to do Damien. I mean isn't it nice to hit two birds with one stone... hahaha"

Two masked men in black were discussing within themselves after messaging Damien.

At the center of the room, Rose was tied up to a metal chair and blindfolded and her mouth was also taped together.

Rose gradually regained her consciousness and then she started making noises with her mouth. At this time, what was going through Rose's mind was, 'I can't believe I got kidnapped, AGAIN'

"Well-done boys"

"Thank you boss"

Another masked man showed up. Rose noticed that the voice sounded very familiar.

Rose calmed down and waited for them to at least remove her blinds.

"Sorry we had to do this but a man's gotta eat" The same guy said again as he first removed the tape around her mouth.

"Oouchhh" Rose cried out, the traves of the tape could be seen on her mouth as it turned red, showing how sensitive her skin was.

"Whoever you are, no whoever sent you... I'll pay double of what he/she is giving you"

"Just calm down, we don't need your money... Although we do need money but we have our integrity to keep" Another one of the masked guy said.

"I'll pay triple then... Please just remove my blindfold, it's so uncomfortable" Rose said.

The main guy nodded at his subordinates,

"But boss, what if?"

"Nothing can happen, don't you see that she's all tied up and we are even wearing masks. So just open the damn blindfold"

The more Rose heard this man's voice, the more she was sure that she had heard it somewhere.

"Ok boss"

As the blindfold was removed from Rose's eyes... She blinked twice to adjust her eyes to the lighting of the room.

Rose immediately looked towards the one who seemed like the boss amongst them.

As soon as her eyes set on him, she immediately noticed that his other eye, specifically right eye was gone... all that was left was a vertical line drawn across his eye.

"You look familiar"

"You look familiar"

Rose and the masked guy said together.

Rose thought for a while and it suddenly occurred to her.

"It's you"

"Why is it you?"

The first one sounded confident, whole the second was a bit shaky. The former was from the Rose, while the latter came from the masked boss.

**15 years ago**

Rose was a seven year old girl. Her driver didn't come pick her up on time so she was waiting outside for him. Her brother went to hang out with a few guys that they parents also hadn't come pick them up. Rose didn't wanna hang out with those boys so she chose to wait outside the gate.

Rose crouched down on her knees, she held a small stick and started using it to draw circles on the ground, when all of a sudden, a hit to her neck and bam! she became unconscious.

When she regained her conciousness,, she immediately blurted out, "Who are you? You let me go this instant!" Little Rose commanded.

"Don't worry, you are in safe hands my child. I won't let anything happen to you. We wouldn't want our goods to look bad now, would we?"

"I am not your child" Little Rose countered with authority in her voice.

"Fine, but I'm gonna take really good care of you. My street name is even 'The Childtaker', get it? Cause I take children and I also take really good care of them... hahaha" The Childtaker said as he laughed evilly.

"It's a pun... hehe"

Little Rose just kept looking at this guy who asked a question and answered it on his own, the only conclusion she reached was that, 'This old man has gone mental'

**End of Flashback**

"Right, you called yourself 'The Childtaker' right?

What happened to you? Why are you kidnapping adults now? I thought you were into kids? Did the childtaking business go bad?" Rose inquired sarcastically with a smile hanging on his face.

The Childtaker just stood there standing on shock.

"I see you took pretty good of your eye while I was away." Rose said with a wicked smile on her face.

The Childtaker's hands immediately went up to his right eye and covered it as if it was protecting it from something or someone.

Rose laughed more when she saw his reaction.

"Who asked you to kidnap her? Did that person want to take my life?" The Childtaker asked the remaining two guys that he has.

Rose stretched her ears to at least find out the person behind all this but Childtaker just had to spoil it...

"Nevermind, we must evacuate immediately" Childtaker said.

'Last time, I pulled this, that guy still let me go scot-free, if he finds out that I'm the one that did this one too... I fear I might not be able to keep my life' Childtaker said as he packed his stuffs and started moving towards the backside door.

He noticed that they were not movements behind him, so he looked backwards and found out that none of his men had moved from their original position.

"What are you guys doing? Lee move now before it's too late." Childtaker said in haste.

"Boss, it's like you don't get it. After we finish this deal, we are going to be rich. If her boyfriend could bring them money, her brother and the person who sent term... we'll have enough for their lifetime." One of the masked men said.

"Oh, so you guys want to stay bah?" The Childtaker asked. Seeing how his boys just stood there without giving him a reply, he continued, "Fine, I wish you the best but as for me... I'm out"

He said as he walked out towards the back door.

"If you still wanna live, I advise you to run now. Then we can all act like this never happened" Rose said.

*Pahh*

A huge fingerprint appeared on Rose's cheek as her face turned over to one side.

"Shut up, you b*tch" The dominant masked man said.

"You must think that you are something huh? You caused our boss to run away, huh?"

"You must think that's your petty words will shake our resolve, huh?"

Rose spit out some blood and eyed the two

of them viciously.

The same masked guy grabbed her by the hair and said, "Who are you looking at with that eyes, huh?"

"Hahaha"

"Wait and see how I'll deal with you" The guy said and started to look around for something. His eyes finally settled on a wooden plank.

"Hahaha" He laughed as he went towards the wooden plank and grabbed it and started advancing towards Rose.

Rose seeing that this wasn't going so well, started to move faster on the rope that she had been trying to untie since she got here.

Damien sneaked in to the warehouse quietly and saw a masked guy raising a plank on Rose.

His legs just reacted and soon enough he found himself in Rose's front, he hugging her tightly, with a smile on his face.

Rose was stunned. She shaked her head.

The masked man too was shocked but he couldn't stop the plank, as the momentum he put on it was too much.

*Bam*
