Chapter 120
Trevor gave up his seat after the officers came in so they and the Sawyer siblings could come up with a solution. “I’ve told my men to extract the footage, Mr. Sawyer. I’ll bring your son home, so don’t worry,” the captain told Nicholas the moment he came in. After they received the call and realized that the young master of the Sawyers’ was kidnapped, they quickly gathered a team to look into this case. They had called the traffic officers immediately after that and asked them to help with the investigation.
“Thank you, Detective Lawrence.” Nicholas nodded.
He and Lawrence went way back. Detective Lawrence was a veteran and had cracked a lot of kidnapping cases, so he knew what to do.
Since the officers had gone to take the footage, Kieran stayed back.
Tessa was still blaming herself, and Timothy held her hand. “It’s alright, sis. The officers are here. Gregory will be back in no time,” he assured her.
Assurances were empty, however. No assurance could bring Gregory back, and Tessa could not rest easy until she saw the boy in one piece.
Gregory’s mouth was taped the moment he was brought into the car so that he wouldn’t shout and attract people’s attention.
“How much is this kid worth, boss?” One of the kidnappers held Gregory’s chin roughly and forced him to look up.
“Beyond your wildest dream.” The kidnappers’ leader chortled. “He might be a kid, but he’s worth so much, we can all live the rest of our lives lavishly.” He smacked his lackey’s hand away. “Don’t hurt him, or it’ll bring his value down.”
“I got it. The customer is king. I won’t do anything until we get the money.”
The other kidnappers said, “What a loser.”
The kidnapper glared at his accomplices in displeasure. “I bet you guys think the same way.”
Gregory didn’t shout or scream, but he was just a kid, so he did panic at first, but now that he heard the conversation, he calmed down and looked at them coldly. They won’t hurt me for now.If it’s just for the ransom, then that’s easy to deal with, but these guys are villains. Even if we are rich, I won’t let them get away with it
Gregory was coming up with an escape plan, and he thought about the tips his father told him. Daddy said there’s a GPS tracker on my watch. I can press the button whenever I’m in danger, and he can receive the signal. Good thing these guys only tied my hands behind my back. They didn’t think the boy could
The moment he did that, Nicholas’ phone rang. “Got him. Get the car!” He synced the GPS tracker to Lawrence’s phone. “I’ll be counting on you for the surveillance camera footage, detective.”
“Leave that to me.” Lawrence nodded.
Nicholas turned to leave at once.
“I want to go as well.” Tessa quickly held his hand and gave him a pleading look. “Greg was kidnapped because of me, and I can’t ever make up for that, but I want to see him rescued. Take me with you.”
Nicholas looked at her darkly. “Wait for the news here.”
“I won’t get in your way. I’ll just be a passenger. We have no time to waste, so don’t dwell on this anymore.” She teared up and was persistent about it.
Nicholas didn’t want to waste any time on this matter either, so he said, “Suit yourself.”
