After they locked the door from the inside, Klancy pressed the on button on the orb. Dead silence consumed the room.

"Hello?" came a deep man’s voice from the recorder.

Fushichin quickly scrolled and pressed a button and Nile's voice came out of his phone.

"Hey, name is Nile Nelson." sounded Nile.

"I know. Took you long enough. What happened to the cops? Did they stop their investigation?" asked the voice.

Fushichin pressed another response.

"They are gone."

"Good. They are more obedient than I thought." said the man’s voice slyly.

"How is the girl doing?" asked Nile.

"Oh, she is fine. We tried to have a little bit of fun with her. But she is absolutely not having it. Heh, we did tame her tho. Maybe too much, got a little blood on her clothes."

"Everything proceeding smoothly?" asked Nile.

"Yeah, yeah. Everything is going fine. Like I said, all we have to do is hold the girl, get the money, maybe even get the mom too. Everything alright on your end? What does her mother say? Is she gonna bring the money or what?" asked the voice concernedly.

"Money in the bag." said Nile.

"Good to hear. How many people are there in the mansion now? I heard from our eyeman that the people there aren't moving out of the mansion for some reason." said the voice.

Salim gritted his teeth, Nervousness appeared on Galtomor's face. Fushichin knew that Nile said June 10th but unfortunately he did not cut out that part, as he thought it wouldn't come up. If he had, he could use the word ten as a response.

Right then Hellen used her own phone to play a sound recording.

"I don't know." said Nile.

"What? What do you mean you don't know?" grunted the voice.

Hellen pressed another file.

"I got drunk." said Nile.

"Oh, for the love of-" grumbled the man.

"Where did you go?" asked Nile.

"Where did I go? I'm still at the hideout, looking after the bitch. And you're being awfully nosy. All you needed to do was bring the girl to us. And yes, your friend Jackiel did bring her to us. If that's what you're asking. Your part is done. We'll send you part of the money when we receive it. Just keep an eye on the family members for now, okay?" said the voice in a delinquent demeanor

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Alright. I wanna go. Goodbye." said Nile.

"Ugh, whatever.”

Klancy pressed the button to turn it off and all five of them threw out a loud sigh.

"You two did well." said Galtomor.

"Shit, my fingers are shaking." said Fushichin.

"But we couldn't find where Hori was!" yelled Hellen.

"It's not over yet. We need to call Jackiel Wain too." said Klancy.

"Do we have enough voice lines to make the conversation? We barely managed that call. And Jackiel is apparently friends with Nile so the call should be harder, no?” said Hellen with worry.

"It's fine. I think I have it. We discussed and practiced this quite a few times. Besides, I got you by my side" said Fushichin and winked at Hellen.

"Oh, please." said Hellen and rolled her eyes.

"Come on, let's do this." said Fushichin.

"Okay, I have Jackiel's number. Calling him now." said Klancy.

Klancy pressed a few buttons on his phone. It started calling.

"Hello, who is this?" said Jackie from the other side of the phone.

Fushichin pressed a voiceline selection.

"Nile Nelson. I lost my phone." said Nile.

"Oh, right right. How you doing?" asked Jackie enthusiastically.

"Everything is fine. What did you do to the girl?"" asked Nile.

"Gave her to the place you said to. I somehow managed to escape that tight ass mansion. Holy shit." said Jackie loudly.

"Where did you go?" asked Nile.

"Oh, after I was done delivering her, I went home and watched porn. Man, these bitches from Azainen look hot as fuck. You even watch that? Or are you just into black women?" asked Jackie with a playful voice.

Galtomor managed to stop himself from slamming his forehead. Hellen played a voice file

"The kidnapping. The girl”

Fushichin played the next voiceline.

"Talk."

"What else is there to talk? I entered that trolley with the girl. I exited the trolley with the girl from the van. I did block my face just like you told me. I ran around around avoiding the cameras, got in a taxi with the girl. Went to the eastern district and gave the girl to the pro team. I did not stall on my way, I promise."

Fushichin played a voiceline.

“Where?"

"Oh, come on, you know the place. There is no way you would forget.” said Jackiel.

Fushichin bit his lips and looked at the others desperately.

Hellen was the one to play the next voice lines.

"I got drunk. I forgot."

"Holy Hinokaiser. You need to cut down on the booze man. It's not good for your body. And you're taking your sweet time to talk. Are you sure your head is okay? It's at Madilian street Flat 26, door 31. Don't you remember?"

Fushichin played the next voice lines.

"Alright alright. I wanna go. Goodbye"

The call ended and the five detectives shared triumphal smiles."

"Holy shit, finally. We get to rescue her." said Fushichin with a smile

"No, not yet. We need to notify this to the cyber investigators. It's possible that the kidnappers have changed their location." said Klancy and added "If we bust down door 31, find nothing and somehow one of the kidnapper's team notifies the people that are holding Hori, it would all be for nothing."

Klancy contacted the cyber investigation team. And soon a person's voice resounded from his communicator.

"Hello, how can I help you, Klancy." said Keinlee from the transmitter.

"I want you guys to check the footage of Madilian street, flat 26 recordings from 1 AM to 8 AM June 12th. Make sure to keep an eye out on a person who is covering their face and carrying someone on their back." said Klancy.

Klancy further added "That person may be Jackiel Wain. Try to match Jackiel's physical features with the people on footage as well. I'll send over the footage of the conversation we managed to have with the kidnappers."

"The kidnappers?" gasped Keinlee.

"You'll understand when you see it. Use this as your clue." said Klancy.

"Roger that." said Keinlee.

Keinlee ended the call. The detectives exited the room and talked about casual subjects. They went back into the lab where Nile was sitting.
