Nora paced around the house, obviously in a devastated mood.
she couldn't fathom why Emily was not picking her calls. she'd tried countless times but it was never picked but rather busied.
she'd left a lot of messages but yet none seem to be working.
Exasperated, she made to dial Cole's number but before she could, an image appeared on the screen of her phone and she Checked it out, it was the answers to the unanswered questions that had been throbbing her heart.
"omg! Emily?"
She could see Emily tied to a chair, her mouth was gagged and on her stomach was something scary and frightening.
bombs was attached to her stomach and the timer was reading but she couldn't make out the figures as her eyes went dim and weary, it started getting blurred.

Cole pulled the car to a stop beside the gate of Alex Dollinger, he picked up the bottle of water on the dashboard and downed the entire content of the bottle.
Agent bola glanced at him, shook her head and stepped out of the car while Cole followed suit.
They both walked to the large gate, Cole rang the bell and the gate opened slightly revealing the gateman who peeked at them.
"Detective Cole from the CIB" Cole shoved his ID in the man's eyes.
"we need to see Alex Dollinger" agent bola chipped in.
"abegi no vex, my oga no dey house, he just comot now now" the man replied…
"which way did he pass?" Cole asked.
"na straight he go, hope say he no get am for wahala"
"not yet" agent bola replied
.

"quickly check out the location of where Emily is kept" Cole said to agent bola who immediately started working on her device as they walked back to the car.
Cole hopped in first followed by agent bola and he ignited the car engine.
"I'm done" agent bola said showing him the device.
"outskirts of the city?" Cole asked
"yeah and we have no time"
"we need to come up with a plan, but we have no idea of what awaits us
"do you realize there is timer reading on Emily's chest?"agent bola asked fidgeting with her device.
Cole's eyes popped out open, "are you serious?"
"do I look like am joking" agent bola snapped and looked at him angrily.
"what's the timer reading?"
cole stepped on the accelerator and sped off
"30 mins 59secs"
he changed gears and increased the speed driving recklessly, overtaking many other cars in the process.
"that means we have less than 30 minutes to" Cole's phone rang out loud interrupting him in the process.
he used one hand to pick it from the dashboard while the other hand is on the steering wheel.
"hello baby" Cole said immediately he picked it.
"don't baby me joor" Nora replied jokingly.
"Cole something terrible has happened to Emily" Nora said in a serious and trembling tone.
"yes I know and I'm on my way to rescue her"
"please make sure she's safe, please"
"I'll do my very best"
"and please stay safe also"
"don't worry, I'll be fine" Cole said and hung up the call.
he noticed Bola's gaze was on him throughout the conversation with Nora, he could tell the look on her face, it was an envious look.
it was an open secret that bola is tripping on cole,Cole knew this himself but he rather chose to play cool with it, though he had nothing for her, she was just his assistant and junior at work.
she might one day go beyond boundaries, but he couldn't tell if that would happen.
20 minutes into the journey and they were out of the city, driving through an untarred road, bush paths.
Cole still drove at high speed, he swerved right and cut into another road which was more of a bush part.
he pulled to a stop beside a fenced uncompleted building and both hopped out of the car.
"we're moving in" Cole said into the earpiece stucked in his ear
