Chapter 49

"I know where she is" some spoke behind them.

"Kenneth?..." Liam uttered when he saw the person that just joined their search team. Who would ever believe that Kenneth who once made Cassandra's life miserable will get involved in finding her?

"Please take us there... I can't wait to see my daughter again" Amelia was still crying.

"How did you get to know where she is? And why didn't you let us know until today?" David asked. For some reasons he doesn't want to believe Kenneth.

"That day, Cassandra took the road I usually take after school. Fortunately, I was upset and did not want to get home on time so I decided to walk back home. On my way, I saw Cassandra walking all alone, she looked... Upset and down. It was like something was bulging her. I wanted to go over and ask her what was wrong but all of a sudden someone dragged her and covered her nose... And she passed out. I guess the guy use benzodiazepines powder" Kenneth paused.

"And...?" James spoke.

"I hide beside a tree so the guy did not see me. He took Cassandra into the bushes and I followed silently. We walked for a while until the guy halted in front of a house that looks abandoned. And that's where he kept her tied to a chair..... I couldn't reveal this on time because my presence was noticed so I had to run away and hide in an unknown place. It took me a day to find my way back, but I made sure she was still there before coming back" Kenneth told them everything.

"Then why didn't you bring her back?" David asked.

"It's not something one person can do... More people are needed because the person who abducted Cassandra has the place surrounded." Kenneth explained.

"Enough.... All that matters is we can finally find Cassandra." Liam finally spoke.

"Let's move, let's go get her" Mr. Vincent was eager.

"Yes please" Amelia said.

"No!... We don't just go there without a plan. Or else, we would alarm who so ever that is behind this. " Liam replied.

"Liam is right. We need to plan things out" Mr. Leonard spoke.

"I agree with that" David and James chorused.

"Kenneth, we need your help with this. You know where she is, The road to the place and what the place looks like." Liam said.

"Sure I do." Kenneth replied.

"Now, we are going to map out our plan. Get a pen and a paper" Liam said.

"Here..." Jane said handing over a pen and a paper to Liam.

"Here Kenneth, give us a clue of the road to the place." Liam said giving Kenneth the pen and paper.

Kenneth took the pen and paper and did some drawings to illustrate where Cassandra is and the road to the place.

"Do You know any other road aside from this one?" Liam asked.

"Yeah... I discovered two other roads when I was trying to find my way" Kenneth replied.

"Good... Indicate them" Liam said and Kenneth did what he was asked to.

"Now.... Mom, Gabriella and Jane will take this road. You will pretend You are out on a tour and you eventually lost your way. So you are to act vulnerable while you ask for help from those surrounding the place." Liam said and the three ladies agreed.

"Dad, James and David... While they men are distracted, You are to burn benzodiazepines around the place. That will make them unconscious.

"It will also affect us" Gabriella said.

"Don't worry... when I go to buy the benzodiazepines powder, I will get something that can neutralize its effect." Liam replied.

"I, uncle Leonard and Kenneth will go inside to get her. Kenneth, You know about this place better, so you are going to lead the team." Liam spoke again.

"That's my boy....! I'm really proud of you" Mr. Leonard said enthusiastically.

"Thank You uncle" Liam replied with a slight smile.

"James, David... Let's go get the benzodiazepines powder. We move at exactly 8:00pm." Liam said and everyone agreed.
