279 279. Highway number 7
“There!” He said, pointing towards a turn.
“Plus she was behaving totally opposite to her usual self today. I should have trusted my intuition instead of shaking them away.” Jason said while gritting his teeth.
“Don’t blame yourself.” Victor said while taking the sharp turn.
“That’s the car!!” Jack said from behind while watching the white car spewding ahead of them.
“No wait.” Suddenly Jason said.
“What happened?” Victor asked without slowing down.
“Something doesn’t feel right. Do one thing, speed past that car.” Jason said.
“Okay.” Victor said and obeyed, not questioning Jason even once.
Once they had closed the distance between the two cars, Jason immediately shouted.
“Stop the car!!” He shouted.
Victor did so without questioning, but Jack and Alex were definitely not going to sit back, especially when they could see that car was about to disappear from their vision.
“Why did you stop? We could have caught them within seconds!!” Jack said, his tone rising by a pitch.
“She is not there in that car.” Jason replied dryily before opening the dooe and coming out of the car.
He instantly took out his phone and dialled a number.
“Yes Jason?” Harry replied from the other side.
“Any leads yet?” Jason asked in a hopeful tone, even when he knew it was not worth expecting much.
If Kizy had seriously planned something, it meant that she would definitely not leave such stupid loopholes in between, not when it was related to her leaving the city for Markus.
“No, nothing. Second sister is nowhere to be seen.” Harry replied.
“Keep hacking all the nearby CCTVs. Let me know if you find even a minute detail.” Jason replied before ending the call.
By this time, Jack, Alex and Victor had also climbed out of the car.
“Do you know where this road is coming from? I mean what all possible ways does Diamond have for escape if she didn’t take this route?” Jason asked Jack.
“All of them are from highways so I don’t think any of them can be considered.” Jack said.
“Then do you know any hideout places in between, where maybe she can stay for sometime to stall us and then leave once we are gone?” Jason asked again, his brain working at full speed.
“Highway number 1 and 4 are surrounded by forests. This could be where the lady boss can hide.” Jack said.
“1 and 4? Okay then let’s-” Jason was still speaking when a car stopped behind them.
Rose along with grandpa, Nicole and Joel exited through the car, all of them looking dead stressed.
“Any clues yet?” Grandpa asked, his usual carefree tone gone, replaced by the stern former Mafia King’s authoritative voice.
“No grandpa not yet. She managed to skip the surveillance cameras. She must have planned this for a long time now.” Jason paused, shaking his head.
“But we are guessing that she must have taken either Highway number 1 or 4 as they are surrounded by forests, giving her a better place to run away as well as hide.” Jason replied.
“No, Kizy won’t take them.” Grandpa instantly ruled out this option.
“Why though?” This time it was Victor who asked.
“She knows that one of our bases is situated in the forest surrounding Highway 4. Whereas 1 is where Markus’s friend, Andrew is staying. So she would never risk taking the place surrounded by our men.” Grandpa replied.
“What should we do now? Our clues were totally useless.” Rose said, worried sick about Kizy’s disappearance.
It was just moments ago when Victor had called Jason, telling him about how Kizy had planned everything for the upcoming months with no task left. Jason had instantly dialled Jack and Alex to keep a watch on her, not expecting Kizy to be this fast in handling her situation.
She had hired men to attack Jack and Alex, though none of their attacks were fatal or even serious. Their only job was to stall time for Kizy to escape the place and they successfully managed to do so.
And now, at present, they were totally blank about where they were supposed to search for her.
“Maybe we can try highway number 7.” Suddenly Joel said.
“Why though?” Jason asked in an urgent tone.
“Highway 7 may look deserted and easy to catch her, but it directly leads to the southern mountain range. And anyone knows that once you reach there, no CCTV can capture you. You only need to make an effort to cross the highway while dodging the surveillance cameras and you are safe.” Joel tried to reason out.
“Let’s head there then.” Rose said.
“Okay. You head there. Me and Victor would still check out Highway number 2. Jack and Alex you go to the St. Mary Road, while we should send some men to Highway 1 and 4 as well just to rule out the possibility of Kizy taking a temporary shelter there knowing that we won’t search our own territory.” Jason said.
“I will send Lucas to Highway number 1. Send Markus’s team to Highway number 4.” Grandpa said to Joel.
All of them were quick to take actions, alerting all their members about the situation within seconds.
Jason and Victor dropped Jack and Alex near an intersection where another vehicle was waiting for them, before driving ahead to Highway 2.
Jason once again called Harry back, informing him to check for Highway 7 first.
“Don’t worry. We will find second sister soon. And she will be alright. If she has been planning this for days, just to escape us and find Markus, she won’t risk her own safety, because her ultimate aim is to find Markus. So don’t keep blaming yourself now. We all are at equal faults for not paying much attention towards what the second sister was planning.” Victor said while driving, knowing how distressed Jason must be.
“I am not worried about that Victor. I know that if she has planned to find Markus, she won’t put herself at risk. But…” Jason said, his voice fading off, as if the next part was something he didn’t want to utter.
