After Cordy sent the photos to Patrick, he asked a few questions, to which she told him everything.
Patrick quickly sent the photos without asking more questions.
For one, he was not able to help much when he was so far away, but he promised to tell her immediately if he found any helpful clues.
In addition, he would rather avoid stressing her unnecessarily since she was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Once they had the high definition mugshots of the bodyguards, John sent copies to his people and started a search, reminding them to report in if they find those men without alerting them.
Just then, a call arrived from Randy as well. "Sir, we found Jessica's car. It's left in a parking lot in the industrial district. The footage we obtained showed that only the driver got out, and no one else was inside. The driver is definitely one among the three mugshots you sent, and he left the car without coming back so far."
"Did you manage to track where he went?"
"No, sir. It's an isolated location, and the next closest camera is some distance away. I had to search thoroughly until I found him boarding a bus, so I got the footage from the bus. Turns out that the driver got out at the south entrance, where the largest agricultural market of North City is. He soon disappeared among the crowd, and we couldn't find him since."
"Are there cameras at the market?"
"There are, but there are blindspots in the layout and it's too crowded. I had over ten people assisting me in the zone, but we had nothing."
"Send me the footage," John said anyway.
"Yes, sir," Randy replied, before quickly adding, "Also, we've found the last known position of Jesscia's phone number, but it's at your son's school. That's where she last used it."
"Okay."
John hung up and quickly opened the other security footage Randy sent.
Cordy sat beside him and helped him search.
The camera quality at the market was low, and the coverage was low with many blind spots. If the driver had stayed in those blind spots, no one would know where he went.
