KIDNAPPED

Chapter Twenty Four

Third P.O.V.

Daniel was sitting in his room with three other people. Scheming away the night.

Jill's blonde hair was shining every time light flickered over it. She sat still with her back ramrod straight, tension oozing from every part of her being. Dave, a brown-haired man, looked relaxed. With a cigarette dangling from one limp hand and his head thrown back in exhale, one would think he didn't have a care in the world.

That one would think wrong.

Dave is the oldest one among the little group of misfits and the first person Daniel came to for help. He was the right-hand man of Vincent and quasi-father to Daniel. That's why Daniel didn't question his loyalty, Dave has always protected him.

Also, he knew Dave wanted to break away from Vincent.

With Jill's legendary shooting and other lethal skills and Dave's mastermind, he was sure of getting Ella out of harm's mind.

What he was unsure about though was Justin's involvement in his scheme.

Justin was Jill's younger brother, and that was his only virtue. In short, he was useless.

Of course, Daniel needed manpower, but Justin was just a teenager with his gum-chewing and checking Instagram every two minutes.

'Dave, walk me through the plan again,' Daniel nodded towards Dave.

Dane took a long drag from his cigarette and slowly exhaled it. With a languid turn of his head, one by one he locked eyes with everyone in the room.

'It's simple, you and I stay with Vincent while Jill and her roadkill brother escort Ella out of the property and to the safe point we discussed earlier.' With that his head rolled back again, lost in his world of nicotine.

'Stop calling me roadkill, bro' Remarked Justin, barely looking up from his phone.

'What happens when other members of the gang see us?' Without losing an inch of rigidness, Jill questioned Dave.

'You kill them,' Was Dave's dry reply. Daniel turned his head side to side upon hearing Dave.

'No, no, that's too risky, Vincent will know in no time what's going under his nose.'

'And?'

'We can't risk him knowing of this, he'll kill Ella on the spot!'

'Stop being so dramatic, I was just kidding,' Dave drawled out.

'What's the real deal, then?' Questioned Justin which earned him a lazy eye from Dave.

'Listen, you punks, and listen good, I have put trackers on everyone in this building, including you guys. You guys will be able to monitor everyone's activity, but other than us four, nobody else can see the trackers' activity. Jill and roadkill can keep track of trackers and move accordingly, while Daniel and I follow Vincent around and keep him from finding out about this plan. If anyone does bypass the trackers, you know what to do,' He motioned towards Jill who only nodded in reply.

'Now if you kids are done, I have actual work to do.' With that said, Dave stood up and started walking towards the door.

'Wait, what if Vincent questions about Jill's absence?' Justin asked out of blue and Daniel sceptically nodded, too.

'I am sure we'll come up with something on the spot.' He left the room after that with the sound of door closing echoing behind him.

All the occupants now seemed lost in their world, no doubt thinking about the perfect execution of the plan.
