RIA ROBERT COUTURE

And ever since Ian received the call from detective Chad that Ria was being followed by some unknown men and now she was missing he couldn’t stay calm. Ian was almost at the store when detective Chad’s call came in and he couldn’t help the rate at which his heart was beating.

Detective Chad rushed into Ria Robert Couture. Brian had been shot on his shoulder while Bert was still unconscious. Earlier on the chase, Bert wasn’t shot with a real bullet but a drowsy bullet that would make him sleep for a couple of hours. Brian was shot with a real one but the second one fired at him when he tried to shoot back at the captor was the drowsy bullet. They didn’t know until Brian and Bert were rushed to the hospital.

The one who sent the captors already told the men that they shouldn’t kill anyone in the course of abducting Ria Robert. But they only fired at Brian because he fired their main shooter on his upper arm, a graze though.

It was very easy for the shooter to hit Brian straight in the head but they didn’t want to go against the boss orders. He doesn’t want anyone’s blood spilled because he wanted Ria Robert.

“Has anyone called you?” Detective Chad asked Ian.

“No… and she isn’t picking up her calls either!” Ian grimaced. He was angry. And he was mad that he had failed Ria. He had promised to protect her but now she was out of his reach. Ian regretted not listening to his mom’s advice of hiring about ten bodyguards to safeguard Ria. If Ria had not persuaded him to not hire more bodyguards then he would have done it.

“I found it in her car.” Detective Chad brought out Ria’s phone which he had taken from her car. He gave to Ian. The screen was broken.

“Did you find anything else?” Ian asked.

“Yes her bag is in my car.” Detective Chad responded.

“What about her abductors?” Ian screwed up his face.

“I am sorry, Ian. We lost them” Detective Chad replied in an apologetic tone.

“What?! What are you talking about?! You couldn’t catch just one culprit?!” He snarled.

“I am sorry.” Detective Chad apologized. “We just need more time.”

Ian relaxed a bit. “So what are you doing now?” He questioned.

“Derrick is with the search team now. We are going to find her.”

“You better find her.” Ian pointed at the detective. “If anything happens to Ria, I won’t spare you.” Actually, he won’t spare whoever abducted Ria.

“Don’t worry we will find her.” Detective Chad reassured him.

Ian couldn’t sit back and wait for them to bring him news about Ria. “I am coming with you.” He said.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“No Ian, it is not advisable for you to work with us. You have to stay safe for Ria.” Detective Chad replied.

“I can’t stay back knowing that-” A beeping sound from his phone interrupted him. It was his mom! Ian had called his mom immediately Detective Chad broke the news of Ria’s disappearance.

‘Hello mom.’

‘Ian. How is everything over there?’

“I’ll take my leave now.” Detective Chad waved him goodbye.

“Can I come with you to get miss Ria bag?” Ma’am Elise asked.

“Sure.”

They walked out of the store to Chad’s car. “Please make sure he doesn’t leave the store. We also have to protect him because we don’t know Frederick’s plans yet.” Detective Chad said after handing Ria’s bag to her.

Ma’am Elise nodded slowly but she knew deep down in her mind that she wouldn’t be able to stop Ian if he decides to leave and find Ria himself.

Ian told his mom the situation of things and she was worried about Ria.

‘What will you do now?’ Mrs Perla demanded.

‘I will try to call Frederick again.’ Ian replied.

‘I am sure he won’t pick up his call. I can’t believe this old rag is this wicked! How could he do such a thing and still show his face again?! Don’t worry Ria will be fine and please call me if you have any news okay?’

‘Sure mom.’ Ian disconnected the call.

He has been trying the line Frederick used in calling him the other day but it was switched off. Ian knew all this was Frederick’s doing and he swore that he won’t spare Frederick.

And he would never forgive himself if anything bad happens to Ria. Tears stings at the corner of his eyes at the thought of losing Ria and not seeing her again. No! He wouldn’t wait till the cops bring him news that she was dead!

Ian passed Ria’s phone to ma’am Elise. “Please take care of things around here. I will be right back.”

“Mr Ian-” Ma’am Elise called at him but he was already out of the store before she could say anything.

Ian wondered about Ethan too. He couldn’t reach him too. Ian wasn’t sure if Ethan was aware that Ria was missing if not he would have come to the store. Where could he be? Perhaps is he searching for Ria too? Is he searching for her alone? He pondered deeply.

Ian had no idea of where to look for Ria but all he did was pray over and over again for her safety.

“How could you make such a mistake?!” Frederick yelled as he threw the glass across the room.

“I am sorry boss.” Biggy apologized.

“Sorry?! Sorry for losing her?! Now someone else has her! And you were so foolish that you didn’t even follow the abductor!” Frederick snarled at him.

Fury crashed over him and he clenched his fists so hard that he could almost feel his knuckles cracking. He had sent Biggy and two other men to kidnap Ria without leaving a trace. He ordered them to bring her alive at all cost. He had hoped to see her and end her life once and for all but things didn’t work out as planned.

Biggy came with the sad news that someone else took Ria away. He had followed after Ria’s car the moment she was leaving the store to the institution and same thing with the other gang. The one who took Ria in the end was quick to notice Biggy and it didn’t take him much time to figure Biggy’s purpose of following Ria and he was also smart enough to change his plans. He informed his men in the other car to distract Biggy from reaching Ria. Somehow they distracted Biggy and his car was far behind when they took Ria.

When Biggy realized that he lost Ria, he came back to report to Frederick about it.

“The other party had more men.”

Frederick gulped down the bottle of whiskey. “Find her! I don’t know how you intended to do so but bring me Ria Robert and make sure you bring her to me alive!” He snarled in a commanding tone.

“Okay boss.”

Frederick wondered who wanted Ria too. He thought deeply but nothing occurred to him.
