Billy stepped out of the car and hurried over to that car. He looked inside, but there was no one there, only two cell phones and Harleen's handbag scattered on the couch.
Without a doubt, something had happened to Harleen and her sister.
"There's surveillance over there. We should be able to track them down!" Casey looked around and found a surveillance camera not far away. Then he took out his phone and dialed Derek's number before describing the situation.
"What?! Do they have a death wish?" Derek shouted loudly. "Give me three minutes, I'll have someone check the surveillance right away!"
"Hurry up!" with that said, Casey hung up the phone.
"Could it be one of those three families?" After getting back in the car, Casey asked again.
"Very probable. Harleen has just been back in Ozin for a few days after five years. I can't think of anyone else."
"Why did they do it? Did they find something?" asked Casey.
"I'm not sure. Let's find Harleen first. If it really was one of those three families that did this, we'll take care of them!"
Casey nodded in response, "Brother, don't worry, they shouldn't be in danger for now since their captors didn't harm them yet."
Billy pulled out a cigarette and lit it up.
Three minutes later, Casey's phone rang.
"Did you find it?" Casey asked Derek.
"It was Eddie Nunez's people!" I'll send you the address right now, let's talk later."
"I see."
Half a minute later, Derek sent over the message with the address. Casey set up the navigation and drove off. Billy then called Derek on speakerphone.
"Who is this guy?" asked Billy.
"Eddie is second-in-command in the underworld of Ozin, he represents Ozin's local power." Derek replied.
"Damon's subordinate?" Billy continued asking.
"No, Eddie has always been at odds with Damon, and there have been occasional conflicts between them. Damon has long wanted to take him down but Eddie has backing from several major families in Ozin so Damon can't make too big of a move."
"As expected." Upon hearing this news, Billy confirmed his suspicions.
"What... what do you mean, sir?"
"Someone asked him to kidnap Harleen." Billy paused briefly before continuing, "Notify Damon to meet me at the destination. Today we'll be giving him a big gift!"
"Got it!" Derek responded loudly after another moment of confusion. He understood what Billy meant-after today, Eddie would disappear in Ozin.
"That's all for now. We'll talk later!" with that, Billy hung up the phone.
"They're really asking for trouble!" Casey exclaimed angrily while driving.
"People who do evil cannot live long. I originally wanted them to live a few more days but it seems they feel they've lived enough." Said Billy.
