In the main time, Arianna with Luciano has turned to something else, especially when he realized that he is not the only one that had wanted to kidnap her. Not just that she kept saying that she has no idea of whosoever the main girl at her party was.
For Jordan, it’s more of a twisted knot than the problem Lu kept talking about.
“We are not alone in this,” He told Luciano who kept watching his laptop intensively “Sir?” He tilted his head.
Lu just stared at his face then back to the Laptop. There was no sign on his face that we were even listening to Jordan.
It’s been just a day they kidnapped Arianna and she seems to be calm. She didn’t freak out like crying or beg and promise all manner of things that her father might not be able to do.
“We shouldn’t have kidnapped her, ” Lu said.
At first, Jordan thought he didn’t hear his boss well until Lu looked up from the Laptop and stared directly at his face. His lips were in a tight thin line as he stared at his boss then the screen of the laptop.
“It’s of no use,” Lu said “Even if, two wrongs can not make a right” he added.
For Luciano, he was saying something meaningful and very important but for Jordan, nothing made sense. It could even be the effect of the alcohol Luciano had been taking since yesterday night.
Since they came back with Arianna, he started acting like he had been cursed. Like all around him brings nothing but problems.
He refused to eat, bathe, see the kids or look away from the laptop for long.
“Sir” Jordan whispered “You don’t look good” he cringed at his own careless statement.
Physically Luciano does not look good. His hair look rough and had spikes everywhere for randomly moving his fingers in it. He still wore the cloth he wore to the party yesterday but his tie and suit jacket were nowhere to be found.
His eyes look dark and bloodshot. It’s obvious how a man can look like a mentally ill ghost just because he didn’t sleep for one night.
“Can I get you a glass of water?” Jordan offered “I can prepare your bathtub for you too” he suggested.
Still yet, Lu just looked at his face in silence then back to the laptop. A stranger would have been wondering what is so special about it if he didn’t look at it.
Since they brought Arianna to the house, he kept her in one of the rooms that had a camera. He did not let her see his face but he made sure she was comfortable. Even when he felt like slitting her neck and sending her body parts to get her father till he release Alita, he still had to hold his anger.
He kept watching how relaxed she had been since she arrived and wonder what kind of a girl she is. For a prisoner in a strange place, she had eaten up to three times since yesterday night when she woke up.
In the morning she had asked for food and was given now it’s after the same thing. Her makeup was no longer on her face and it felt like she had washed it off before she went to bed last night.
“She had a tracker in the bracelet she was wearing but I have disabled it,” Jordan said as he moved toward Luciano’s back “we should not be worried about her, we are supposed to be worried about the other two groups after her” he added.
For the first time since yesterday, Jordan seems to get his boss’s attention for the first time. Although he looked visibly tensed as Lu bored deeply into his forehead as he fumbled with the right word to use.
“After those girls, I saw another set of men different from her father’s men” Jordan explained.
“I thought you didn’t know about the girls” Lu intoned, his left brow going higher than the other as he looked away from Jordan’s face “How did you get it?” He asked.
Normally Jordan hates to explain anything to Luciano, especially when he is angry. It’s just so painful how he would have to repeat himself more than four times but he has no choice.
He explained how he was in the car watching the main video of what was going on at the party when he saw another group of men enter. They all had earbuds and didn’t look like they came for the party.
Normally they should have gone for other girls or for the main host. It’s almost like they knew the person taking the pictures was not the real Arianna as they spread and offer to look at the face of every girl they come across.
Funny enough, many girls showed their faces and still walked away.
“That was when I came in,” Jordan said “I noticed them all around you and your hearing device seems not to be working at that moment, or maybe you weren’t paying attention to my yelling” he added with a shrug.
The unbelievable look on Luciano’s face tells that he doesn’t want to listen to more of Jordan’s story.
“I still don’t get you,” he said in a boring tone.
“Can’t you see!” Jordan pulled his hair.
He groaned and turned around, many things came to his mind but the first was to close the laptop on the table, turn it sideways and shove it down Lu’s throat. His angry and yet frustrating gaze zeroed on his boss’s face as he sigh deeply to calm his raging nerves.
“Are you done with your imaginations?” Lu asked “That’s it” raised his leg and placed them on the table “I saw those guys too” he seems unimpressed with what Jordan had been saying.
“Didn’t you notice how they went around looking at the girls’ faces?” Jordan asked.
“Nope!” Was Lu’s short reply.
“They were checking all the girls’ faces and it looks like they know that the fake Arianna is fake” Jordan half yelled “They didn’t go for her”
Just as if everything started to make sense all of a sudden, Luciano interlocked his fingers and placed them on his chest. His blue eyes stared blankly behind Jordan as if he was trying to visualize the image of what had happened at the party.
“You think they are from Davidson?” He asked.
“The girls are for Davidson,” Jordan said “I can’t really tell who those men belong to as their plate numbers were untraceable”
He walked to the laptop and pressed random things on it. Video footage of the party played and he paused it to show Lu the frozen screen.
“I can’t really tell if Rocco brought them but I can say they know each other” Jordan pointed at the frozen screen to Rocco when he made a sign to one of the strange men “He did this to almost all of them but why would he want to kidnap Arianna when he has Alita?”
Lu remain mute, he kept staring at the screen wondering how he had missed all this scenario just because he was having a boring conversation with Arianna.
“I traced the girls’ Car and this is what I found” Jordan placed another video.
It was just so shocking how a girl dressed in the same dress the real Arianna wore. Her wrist was cuffed together and her head was covered with a black bag.
“But we have her” Luciano said confused.
“That’s the point,” Jordan said as he walked away from his side to stand in front of him “Someone is trying to cover up for us” he paused for a brief moment “They already knew about the real girl all this time and I wonder why they were all around the fake one”
Lu stood up, for a whole minute no one said anything, they just stared in different directions in grave silence. It was just so silent that if a pin should fall, the noise would attract attention.
Suddenly, Luciano looked up, his gaze looked with Jordan’s bored face.
“I think I know who they are,” he said full of energy “Uncle Raji” Lu mentioned.
The energy of expectation in What Jordan had expected vanished as his chin dropped. It can be possible that One of Lu’s uncles would want to Kidnap Arianna but why will he do that all the way from India where he is progressing in his illegal business.
“I didn’t expect you will say that,” Jordan said dryly, “I think Davidson is looking for something, otherwise why will he cover up for us to kidnap Zeno’s daughter”
