It had been four days since they had been looking for Audriana and they asked that it is been kept away from the public to avoid any sort of approach or false news that might give them false hope.
The press might do less in helping to find her and even if they did put a price for anyone who might know something, some people would just want to make something out of it and just make a false alarm which wouldn’t be good for all of them.
But they are really doing a great job with asking friends or people they know that might have an idea about her whereabouts.
Her parents, his parents, Sofia, Max, Caleb, Emily, Philip, Aiden, Dimitri have all been doing their best and cooperating with the police also but they still couldn’t find where she was or that man that attacked her in the elevator.
When they showed the police the footage as expected, they took the flash that contained the video and told them they would use that as a lead for their search.
At least they know they are not only just looking for Audriana, the man they were able to identify as Dickson Sawyer in that video is the prime suspect and they are looking for him or anyone that had contact with him these days or before the kidnap.
What the police provided for them wasn’t too much to assure them of rescuing Audriana or catching the suspect so Dimitri and Aiden decided to give time.
That is they would close early from work and would come together, either at home or in any of their offices to watch the videos again to draw some insights and clues they could notice.
They watched the footage several times and had to go back to the security room to check all other cameras and what it was able to find within the time of the incident.
When they downloaded all the footage for that day, they watched it from when she entered the elevator to when he entered and they had that struggle before he managed to knock her unconscious.
He didn’t just want to find out where she was taken to but how all of those happened and none of his trained securities were able to see that and apprehend him for the crime he committed.
After he had put her unconscious, he bent down to check if she was still awake then took her phone and switched it off before pocketing it and packing the food bag, and carrying her bridal style.
The annoying thing was that they couldn’t see when he left the elevator with her in his arms but were able to see what happened outside of the building as he took her to a beat-up truck that didn’t have a number plate on it.
Sawyer looked up at the camera, smiled, entered his truck, and drove away.
They were pissed by the new discovery and sent a copy to the police who were thankful for the cooperation and communication.
It is stressful, mind draining, and frustrating for them all but they all hope it would be a week before they get to her.

You should get back to her soon, she still needs you” Cade told him whilst backing him with his hands in his pocket.
“Can you at least turn around so I can see your face again?” Dimitri asked but Cade shook his head and chuckled a bit.
“You will need to let it all go and face your future because there is something huge for you and it would come soon to your home but you need to be prepared for it when it finally arrives”
“What will that be then? And how do I prepare? Do I pack a bag or what?” he asked and Cade chuckled again.
“I can’t tell you at all but you need to prepare by letting go of the past and embracing the present. It isn’t a dream but a reality that you need to live and enjoy, let all of it go. Pricilla is releasing you because she wants you to be happy” he told him and Dimitri could feel his eyes water by what his brother told him.
“Does she forgive me?” his voice broke when he asked.
“Only if you learn to let it go and embrace what GOD has blessed you with” Cade answered and a tear slipped out of his eyes before rolling down his cheeks.
“Baby brother, you don’t have to cry, it all will be okay”
“You fool, I am no baby” Dimitri cleaned the tears and Cade let out a loud laugh.
“You have to stand on your feet and stop that storm. It might seem impossible for you to do it but I assure you that it is the easiest thing to do. GOD would never give you more than you can handle and remember it is okay to ask for help when you need it” he explained to him.
Although it wasn’t clear what Cade was actually saying but he was glad that he was able to talk and see his brother even though it was just his back he could see and that his brother kept talking in parables.
“I really wish I could come down there and smack you in the head,” Cade said after a while and Dimitri laughed.
“You could but you chose not to” he replied.
A sigh left Cade’s lips and he shook his head before sitting on a chair that suddenly appeared.
“You have to go now, you have overstayed your welcome”
“I haven’t been here for that lo-”
“Leave now,” he said firmly.
“Cade” he yelled.
Dimitri stretched his hand out to touch his brother but a blinding bright light shone upon him, quickly he opened his eyes and he rose his head then stretched his hand and saw nothing.
“Cade,” he said again and looked around him to see that he was in his office and looking outside, it was already dark then he checked the digital clock on his table.
‘8 pm’ it says and he sighed then buried his face in his palm as he reflected on what he saw just now.
It was just a dream and a dream he hadn’t seen in a while but it suddenly came now.
It had been a long time he had a dream about his brother even though he still remembers and thinks about him and all the bonding time they had together when he was alive.
Most of their time in colleges and when they would hang out and just do brother stuffs to bond with each other deeper.
“Cade,” he said one more time, and this time, just like he was released from whatever daze he was in.
Then he started to make sense of what he saw and what his brother told him.
This was the second time they had a conversation when he saw him in his dream and the first time he just told him to protect himself and their parents and to just try to forget so his heart can heal.
Now he was telling him almost the same thing but he said she needs him and he needs to get back to her soon and something huge he said was coming. What was that?
He knew for a fact that Cade would be referring to his wife but what was that huge thing he was telling him about?
“I need to focus on bringing her home first before thing about this huge thing he was talking about,” he told himself and decided to pack up for the day and head to Aiden’s place for the night and to see what he must have been able to gather.

He walked out of his office and to the elevator then pressed the button to take him straight to the lobby when he reached the lobby he came out and made his way to the side door that goes to the garage straight.
As he made his way to his car, he was stopped by the conversation of some women from behind him.
“Yes, I think they grew to like each other. I heard they didn’t marry for love and I think it was like some business contract thing but I guess they found love with each other and can even feel when the other is in danger or not” the woman said and the other glanced at him then giggled.
“Such a cute couple” the other complimented.
“Yeah, I am sure he is affected by her disappearance”
“That is true, some said he looked restless and I can see that in him. I am not too clear as to why they refused to tell the media anything about her disappearance though”
“I think the problem and scandals that come with letting the media know is what is stopping them” the other replied and they shrugged.
He threw them both a glance and they were thrown into shock and panic because they weren’t excepting him to turn to look at them so they immediately turned around and walked in the other direction quickly.
He sighed and shook his head then proceed to his car before driving off to meet Aiden.
