Chapter 119 Kidnapped
Gregory gasped in reflex and tried to struggle free, but he was just a child. He was too weak to fight against an adult. A moment later, he was taken into a car, and the kidnappers left immediately.
After the crew member got Trevor’s permission, she went back to take Gregory to the practice hall, but he wasn’t in the guest hall. She looked around, but he was nowhere to be found, so she asked the receptionist. The receptionist said Gregory went to the loo. The crew member shrugged and went to work on other stuff.
Half an hour later, Tessa got her break, and she came out to see Gregory, but he was nowhere to be found. She thought he went somewhere else to play, so she searched the area, but she still couldn’t find him. Concerned, she asked the crew member where Gregory was.
The crew member paused for a moment, and only then did she realize something was off. “Oh no, I forgot because I was too busy! Where is he? He’s been in the loo for a long time now. I haven’t seen him.”
Tessa looked horrified. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about the case. She quickly went to the loo to look for Gregory, but he was not there.
The crew member was shocked as well. She searched for the boy, and everyone else helped, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Tessa started to panic. If he’s not here, then he must have gone out. She ran to the surveillance room. “I want to see the security camera’s footage.”
The crew member in the room didn’t stop her. A moment later, he showed her the footage, and they saw Gregory being taken away by a man in black after he went out.
Tessa’s heart almost stopped right there and then. Trevor was shocked as well. That’s the Sawyers’ young master! “Don’t just stand there! Call the cops! Tessa, call the boy’s family.”
Tessa snapped out of it and called Nicholas at once.
…
Nicholas and Timothy had just finished the meeting for the product introduction and were walking out of the meeting room. Nicholas was talking about the contract signing. “I’ll get Edward to draft the contract. Once you sign it, the partnership will begin. We’ll be counting on you for the technical difficulties.”
“No problem,” Timothy answered happily, and he looked confident. The meeting had gone smoothly, and he wanted to share the news with Tessa.
Just then, Nicholas’ phone rang, and when he took the call, his face fell. “What? Greg is missing? I’ll be right there.”
Timothy froze up as well. “What happened?”
Nicholas had a dark look on his face. “Tessa said Greg’s missing. The signing will have to be delayed. I have to leave now.”
“What? I’ll go with you then.” Timothy was worried too, since Tessa was involved.
Nicholas nodded. When they went into the elevator, they met Kieran. Kieran was shocked to find out about the news, so he went with them as well. They arrived at the center as quickly as they could. The moment they came in, they saw Tessa in tears.
“What happened?” Nicholas sounded dark.
Tessa teared up. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not keeping an eye on him. I never thought this would happen.”
Nicholas looked furious. “This is not the time for crying. Tell me what happened.”
“Calm down, sis. Tell us how Gregory went missing,” Timothy told her gently.
Tessa told everyone what happened.
Nicholas said, “Show me the footage.”
Trevor was already prepared, and he handed the laptop to him. “They seem to have planned this out. The kidnappers had been waiting outside for a while. Take a look.”
Nicholas watched the footage sullenly, and he knew roughly where the kidnappers had taken Gregory even though the event happened in less than one minute. “They went north. Kieran, go to the cops and get the footage of the streets.”
Kieran nodded seriously. “Okay.”
Kieran turned to leave at once, but before he could, the receptionist hurried in. “Sir, Trevor. The officers are here.”
Don’t just tell us! Trevor yelled, “You imbecile! This is not the time to stop them! Don’t just stand there, let them in!”
Gregory had gone missing in his center, and that was a disaster. Everyone was searching for the boy now, so they didn’t have time to question Trevor. If his staff got in the way of the search, he would have to face even graver consequences.
