Luke and Michael rushed to the control room. Startled by their action, the men looked from the screens.
"Go back to the video of the van. Now." Luke demanded.
One of them nodded and rewound the video until the license plate was visible.
"Zoom in on the plate." Luke commanded.
Zooming in on the plate, Luke saw the license plate characters clearly. He pulled out his phone.
"Ryan, I need you to track a plate for me."
"Okay, give it to me."
"ITQ-691. It's last known location was here at the warehouse less than 5 minutes ago."
"Give me 5 to hack into the city's surveillance cameras. I'll send you the location."
"Thank you, Ryan. This is urgent, so hurry." Luke hung up.
Luke and Michael rushed back to his office to develop a plan. After drawing out a plan, they both walked to their rooms to get geared up.
Michael put on his protection vest. He stuck a pistol under his waist band and a back-up in his left ankle strap. He also made sure to grab extra ammo. He strapped a dagger to his right ankle. He hastily checked his gear before making his way to Luke's room.
Luke normally would have taken time to put his protective vest under his shirt, but he only took the time to strap it over his clothes. He strapped his favorite gun into his waist band and a dagger to each ankle. He stuffed mace into his pocket. As he filled a bag with ammo for back up as his phone dinged. He picked it up expecting to see the location from Ryan, but it was a video from Jake. Luke pressed play praying that Delilah was unharmed. She was strapped to a chair unconscious with cuts and bruises.
Jake's message read, "Come alone if you want the bitch to stay alive."
Luke's hands were shaking with fury.
Michael came into his room, "Sir, everything okay?"
Luke approached Michael and showed him the video of Delilah and the text message.
"What do you want to do, sir?"
"We'll continue with our plan, but we have to be more careful."
"Yes, sir."
Luke's phone dinged with a message from Ryan with the van's location. "Let's go."
Luke and Michael ran downstairs. Luke's car was waiting on them at the entrance.
Luke punched in the coordinates from Ryan's text into the GPS.
"Unstrap her and put her on her knees." Delilah heard an unfamiliar voice.
Jake shoved Delilah onto the ground. "This is what a real boss looks like!" He said as he yanked her hair back forcing her to look at Anthony, the leader.
"Jake told me that you're Luke's bitch. He also said that you've been helping him with office work. Now, you're going to give me his bank account numbers." Anthony said as he leaned down.
"I don't care what you do to me. I'm not going to tell you shit." She spat in his face.
He scoffed and slammed her head down on the ground. She groaned in pain and leaned her head her head forward. He wiped her spit off his face.
"You're a feisty one. How does he put up with you? He likes obedience not impudence."
"How the hell do you know what he likes. You don't even know him."
"I don't know him?" He laughed. "I know him better than you do. Why do you think I agreed to Jake capturing you? Luke and I have unsettled business. See, he took away someone that was very dear to me, so why not take someone away from him. Who would better fit the description other than you?"
"If you're trying to lure Luke here to save me, you're wasting your time. He doesn't care about me. He won't come here you stupid dipshit."
"You're lying!" Jake yelled out. "Ever since you got there, you've been making him change."
She looked up at Jake and laughed. "Me? Change him? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. How could someone like me change him? I'm no one."
"You have changed him! He never let anyone get close to him, but he's letting you in. He would never do that to his men."
"Oh, I get it now. You kidnapped me because you're jealous." She laughed. "Are you serious? You could've just told me you liked Luke."
"I do not!!"
"Really? Then why would it bother you if I were getting close to him? Why would it bother you if he were changing because of me?"
"Because a whore like you doesn't deserve someone like him."
"I'm a whore? Tsk... okay." She rolled her eyes.
"You littleβ"
