Chapter 753
As they drove, the location tracker was bringing in more information via the security cameras and giving them instructions where to go.
The further they went the more remote the environment was.
It was now almost three hours since Erin had been taken and there were no cameras around.
The tracker was soon cut off.
Just as everyone thought that they had nothing to go on and wondered how to track the thugs, Irene spotted the MPV in the bushes.
"There!" she pointed.
James turned toward it and saw the MPV too.
The grass was too tall for them to see the entire vehicle, but the tire marks leading into the bushes were fresh.
Everyone alighted, stepping through the thick growth of branches, leaves and thorns that constantly tripped them.
They followed the tire marks and arrived at the MPV, which was parked with no one around it.
James opened the door with a loud whirl, but it was empty!
Did they abandon the MPV as a diversion?!
"Look around!” James barked. "See if there’s any clues!”
Over at Franconia, Stan Hill had led Isaac to a white detached villa, with yards front and back.
It was where Harvey Gooding was hiding.
They did not bring a lot of people, and were keeping things quiet-they had to be prudent since they were away from Zidonia.
One of their men knocked out the gardener, while they moved to pick the lock to the front door.
Harvey had been recovering here after making his escape, and did not even turn around when he heard footsteps.
"Water," he said, thinking that it was the servant who was caring for him.
Harvey held out a hand as Isaac walked up behind him, and he turned in dissatisfaction from not getting his water.
"You're just going to leave yourself with an incurable trauma if you kill me now," Harvey told him. "But I can give you the cure right now-do you know why the footage was cut off?"
Knowing that Isaac would just ignore him again, he continued, "Because I didn't do anything. To tell the truth, nothing would have been easier, but I just couldn't do it."
He was certainly indignant at the time.
He had already gone that far and everything else was ready, only for himself to fail to perform.
He wanted to leave Isaac with a bad taste in the mouth, but he failed!
Still, he was too proud to admit defeat, though his time away allowed him to come around.
When he realized that he had been obsessing over something that never happened, and made Isaac so furious, dying suddenly was not worth it.
He always had a chance to rebuild his business, but dying meant losing everything.
"Fuck you, Harvey!"
A man suddenly charged out from further within the villa and kicked Harvey straight in the balls!
