***Denyx**
I was still in my office alone checking the reports when I startled by a call. I looked at the number and the name appeared was Jerome. I picked up the call.
“Hello Jerome what can I help you?” I asked.
“Hi Denyx. I hope I am not disturbing you. I need your help. I can’t contact Anna. She’s not even here in her apartment.”
“What do you mean you can’t contact her because she was in her office and you’re supposed to have dinner with uncle Arthur?”
“She left earlier this afternoon, her secretary told me. But until now I haven’t heard from her. I tried to call her and sent her messages but I got no reply.”
“Where are you Jerome? It isn’t a joke. It’s late already and she’s not yet back.”
“I’m here outside her apartment. I need an extra key to get inside.”
“I will comeback there right away. Just wait for me, we will open her unit.”
“Thank you Denyx. I will wait here.”
I hanged up the call and grabbed my key and phone on the table and left my office.
I speed up my car for the first time to reach the apartment. When I arrived at Lawrence Apartment. I parked my car and rushed to the lift and pressed the 20th floor where my units are. When I reached the 20th floor I saw Jerome standing outside Anna’s unit.
“Hi, what happened?” I asked him.
“Thank you Denyx for rushing here I need to open Anna’s apartment. I’ve been contacting her but I can’t get any news about her.” He said worriedly.
“Wait here, I’ll just get my spared key inside my unit and be back.” I told him.
“Sure please!”
I went inside my unit and took my spared key inside my room. Luckily I kept one in case of emergency.
I rushed back outside and Jerome was having a conversation on the phone.
“Okay uncle. I will call you back again. Denyx is already with me.” I heard him said then he ended the call.
“It was uncle Arthur who called. He was asking some update if I contact Anna already.”
“Okay, let’s open the door.” I swiped the key and the door opened. We hurriedly went inside.
“Anna are you there?” I called out but there’s no response. Jerome went straight to her room but she wasn’t there. I went to the guest room but she wasn’t there too.
“She’s not here.” Jerome spoke.
“Let’s come to Johnson’s company. She has another penthouse there. Only me and Kat knew it. She might be there.” Jerome told me.
“Do you have a key of her penthouse?” I asked.
“Yes, I have. Now come on let’s go.”
“Okay.” Jerome and I left the apartment. We both went to the basement parking area and get inside the car. I drove and we went straight to Johnson’s company.
“Hey, Jerome. Do you know any suspicious things happened today?” I asked him.
“I went to her office today but I haven’t noticed any suspicious thing on her today.” He said.
“How come she’s not responding? Wait let me call my IT to check her location.” I said
“Perfect! It will help us know her location.”
I dialed one of our IT expert’s number.
“Hello Josh, can you please find out where is this number’s location.”
“Okay sir. Give me a few seconds to find out then I pin it to you.” Josh said.
“Thank you Josh.” Then I ended the call.
After few seconds I received Josh message and I saw where Anna’s location is.
“Look at this Jerome her location is at Johnson’s office.”
“Ohh I called Kat today but she said she left the office and she wasn’t there anymore.”
“Let’s check it out, she might comeback there after Katy left.”
“Yes, I think we should as we are heading there.” Jerome said.
We arrived at Johnson’s company and we went to her office as the location it leads there. Jerome opened the door but still there was no sign of Anna.
“This is insane Denyx. I am getting worried now. She’s not even here.” He spoke tensed.
I saw her phone on the table. Then I walked towards the table and picked up her phone.
“She forgot her phone. That’s why her location lead us here.” I raised my hand to show Jerome the phone I am holding.
“Oh Anna how could you forget your phone. No wonder why I can’t contact you.” He said.
“I think she was in a hurry so she forgot to pickup up her phone.’
“I think so.” He replied.
“What are we going to do now? Should we call the police?” Jerome asked.
” The police won’t file a missing report unless it will be twenty-four hours passed. Let me open her phone if we can get some information to help us find her.”
I was forty-five minutes past eight o’clock and still we don’t have any idea where she is. So I decided to unlock her phone. I was right I found a message.
“Here look at this. Someone sent her a message earlier this afternoon to the place where they will meet up.” I told Jerome and let him see the message in Anna’s phone.
“This number isn’t in here contact list. There’s no registered name.” He said.
“Come on we will find this place. I will call my security team to follow us.” I told Jerome.
“I should ask my military friends also to help us find her.” Jerome said.
We both called our contacts to follow us on the address where possibly Anna is at this time. I speed up the car than normal speed.
I am actually worried something might happen to her and I won’t forgive myself for not protecting her. I should have send private bodyguards for her. I never thought that she will be in danger again because Mike is in jail.
I called my mom to inform her that Anna is missing.
“Hello mom, we can’t find Anna.” I told her.
“What do you mean you can’t find her? She was with you right?” She asked.
“After I dropped her at her office I left and went back to my office then I spoke to Elle and the next thing I knew Anna is missing. But we are on our way to the place where she could be. We found her phone in her office because she left it.
It seems like someone wants to see her but we got an address only. There’s no other messages followed. The number which was used to sent her message was not in her contact list as well.” I explained to mom.
“Ohh no! You should do everything to find her. Poor Anna she’s again dragged in this mess. Are you looking for her alone?” Mom asked.
“No am not. Jerome is with me. He was the one actually told me that Anna left this afternoon when her secretary informed him.”
“Please you too be careful. It is very dangerous at night.”
“We will be fine mom. We already arranged help from intelligence, police and military.”
“That’s good but I am still worried about it. Do you think Mike has to do something about it?”
“I don’t know yet mom but if he did, surely I will kill that mom.”
“Son calm down, we don’t know yet but hopefully you can find Anna soon as possible before everything’s become late.”
“I’ll promised to find her mom. I won’t allow anyone to harm her. I will use my power and money to find her.”
“I believe you will son. Just be careful out there.”
“Thanks mom, I will call you again soon.”
I ended the call and looked at Jerome.
“I think we’ve reached the place Jerome.” I told him. I parked the car at the empty space and we saw there is a small old shop. We walked to the shop and I pushed the door opened it’s actually empty inside. Just a few tables and chairs which seemed look an ages haven’t touch.
“This place is abandoned. Someone might trick her and kidnap Anna.” Jerome spoke.
“I think you were right Jerome. We need to find out who is behind this.”
While we were walking around the place I stumbled on something and when I looked down it was a purse. I picked it up and open it.
“Jerome look! I think it’s belongs to Anna.” I called Jerome to come over where I was standing to see the bag.
“It is indeed her purse. She dropped it. She was been here. Denyx they kidnapped her.”
“Come on the police are near let’s go outside. Let them inspect the place.” I told Jerome. After a few seconds the sirens of the police cars stopped they were on the parking area and some are walking toward us.
“Mr. Moore what happened? We received a request from you.” The police officer asked.
“Anna Mc Len is missing. We found her purse inside. It means she was here.”
The chief police officer ordered his men.
“Search the whole area and get the finger prints around. Don’t let anyone come and touch this place. Everyone move and block this place so no one can come in.” The chief police said.
“I just need to call Jerome please give your statement to the police officer so we can file a missing case for Anna.” I told Jerome and he nodded his head.
I dialed uncle Arthur’s number and soon he picked up my call.
“Denyx any news about Anna?”
“Uncle Arthur we are doing our best to find her. We found her bag but she isn’t here now. They kidnapped her and must be took her to somewhere else.”
“I can’t believe it’s happening again.”
“Calm down uncle I promised to find her.”
“Please Denyx find my daughter. She’s the only one I have.”
“I understood uncle Arthur. She will be okay. I have to go now uncle I need track down the number that they used when they sent her message.”
“Okay Denyx. I am counting on you. Bring my daughter home with you.”
“I promised I will uncle.”
I ended the call and dialed Josh number again.
“Josh I sent you the number. Please track it down. We need to find the location where this number is located at the moment.”
“Okay sir Denyx I will call you back once I find it.”
“Thank you Josh.”
I looked at Jerome, he is talking to the police officers. I walked toward them.
“Chief do you think Mr. Mike Dela Vega has to do with what’s happening right now?” I asked the chief police.
“We will investigate this matter Mr. Moore as soon as possible.” He replied.
“Come on Jerome let’s go to the police station where Mike is. I need to talk to him.”
“Okay come on let’s go.” Jerome said.
The chief of police went with us.
