Chapter 77

"Damn it!"
Jeff and Clark were standing on the side of the road where Dylan's phone location was spotted.  Jeff was holding it.  Its screen cracked but still working.
"We lost track of them?"  Clark asked.  "What are we going to do? How will they be found?"
Jeff turned to Clark.  "CCTV …"
"What?"
"I saw CCTV outside the hospital. There was also CCTV on the highways …" Jeff said.
Jeff quickly got back in the car, and so did Clark.  "Where will we go?"
"At the security center …"
"Do you know the license plate number of the vehicle?"
Jeff handed Clark the OTG flash drive.
Jeff and Clark watched the CCTV footage of the vehicle they were looking for.  They followed what they were looking for.  They quickly followed the vehicle to where it was going.
"I've already talked to Kuya Franco," said Jeff
"Why were Gaby and Tito Franco abducted?"  Clark asked.
"Because of our work," said Jeff
"Why with Gaby? Why with Gaby?"  Clark asked.
Jeff turned to his but did not speak.  Clark took a deep breath.
"Can't I find out?"  Clark asked.
"If you know anything you'll be damned," said Jeff
"Pfft, but Dylan knows something …" Clark said softly.
"Are you jealous of Dylan?"  Jeff asked.  "He was kidnapped too, dude."
"That's why it's annoying. He's with Gaby at this time," said Clark.
"You're acting childish, Clark. Nobody wants to be kidnapped," said Jeff.
"I know. What I'm trying to say is …"
"I know what you're trying to say …" Jeff said.  "It's better that you're not with them, you can help them save. What do you think?"
Clark was silent.  "You're no longer young, Clark. Jealousy is bad for the body, it's toxic," said Jeff.
Franco called again and Jeff answered immediately.  "Kuya Franco, do you know where they are? Send the location, I'm on my way."
********
The whole area was quiet.  Dylan was still blindfolded.  He could feel something moving, but he could hear no noise.
‘Where are they now?  Why can't I hear anything? ' Dylan thought.
Gaby and Isabel looked at Dylan who was sitting not far from them. He was confined to a box made of glass.  Dylan was blindfolded, both hands and feet tied to the chair.
"Release the two children, please. They have nothing to do with this …" Isabel said.
Isabel was tied up with Gaby while sitting on the floor. The two of them turned their backs on each other.  Six men guarded them.  Isabel and Gaby turned towards the newcomer.  They don’t know him, but from the way it looks at them, it seems he knows them.
It sat in front of Gaby then slightly strangled Gaby.  "It's like you were just a baby when I left you at the doorstep of the Johnson couple. Think about it, you're a beautiful young lady." then it removed the grip on Gaby's neck.
"Let her go …" Isabel sighed.
The man smirked then looked at Isabel.  "When I first saw you were sound asleep, you look better when you're awake."
The man stood up.  "Ah, later you'll be a happy family, just wait for Franco."
The man walked away.
A few moments later Franco arrived. He was alone while standing in the distance.  Everyone was staring at him.
"I'm already here," said Franco
"Long time no see, Franco. Looks like your life has got better after 19 years." said the man.
Franco did not speak.  Franco looked to his right and saw there that Dylan was trapped while tied up. Franco didn't know as well as Dylan was being kidnapped.
"Why did you bring him? You'd better let my wife and children go, they have nothing to do with this," said Franco.
The man smirked.  "No one is leaving here. We should have witnessed what I do to you."
Franco took a deep breath.  The man approached and punched Franco several times so that he knelt on the floor.  Gaby and Isabel shouted from a distance while watching what was happening.
Jeff and Clark arrived in the vicinity but did not leave the vehicle.  They await the arrival of the backup Jeff requested.  They also saw Franco's car in the distance.
"Tito is here already?"  Clark asked Jeff.
Jeff didn't answer, instead, he called Franco's phone again, but it keeps on ringing.
"Aren't we going inside yet?"  Clark asked.
"They'll be damned if we act without back up yet," said Jeff
"But what will happen to them there? Tito was the only one to go inside, maybe that's what will happen to them," said Clark.
"You know you shouldn't come. Maybe before we shoot here, you had a heart attack with too much anxiety. You can't be an agent of that. How can you protect Gaby if you are full of what if?" said Jeff.
Clark didn't answer, he called his dad and asked for help.  His father had acquaintances of high-ranking people, so he was sure apart from their agency Jeff the soldiers could help them.
***
Franco fell to the floor before the man stopped him from beating him.  "That's enough," Isabel shouted.
He saw that his wife was bloody in those moments.  The man laughed and kicked Franco again.  Gaby tries to remove the tie from her hand, but you are too tight.
"Damn it!"  Gaby said softly.
A few minutes later Gaby noticed that her leash had come loose, she turned around and saw Jeff.  He was holding a knife and untying her.  When that came out Gaby didn't act as Jeff said.  He then removed Isabel's leash.  After that Jeff carefully hid holding Gaby and Isabel but was suddenly upset to hear the police car.  Almost all of the crew turned to them, and they started firing.
Gaby and Isabel immediately hid behind the piles of wood while Jeff ran in the other direction.  The sound of the chopper can be heard from above and the police descending from there.  The man's staff clashed and began exchanging gunfire with the soldiers and police.  Dylan was startled by someone holding his shoulder.
"Who are you … don't hurt me," said Dylan.
"It's Jeff Dylan. I'll untie you, then you hide, behind piles of wood with Ate Isabel and Gaby, is that clear?" said Jeff.
"Jeff … thank you, Jeff …" Dylan said.
When Jeff freed Dylan he immediately helped him hide.  When he was sure that Dylan was able to hide with Gaby and Isabel, Jeff approached Franco, who was then in the distance and was shooting at the opponents.
"Are you okay, Kuya?"  Jeff asked.
"Thanks, Jeff. Let's finish this," said Franco.
Jeff just smiled.  "Where is Isabel?"  Franco asked.
Jeff looked at Isabel's hiding place and saw two opponents approaching.  He immediately fired the gun, and it hit one man, but another also fell, so he was distracted.  Franco shot one of the men.
