Wanted

After waiting for four hours, she finally saw a car approaching, and in her desperation, she ran

towards the road to seek help. The driver of the car, however, attempted to avoid hitting her.

Alayna narrated her story to the people in the car and requested their assistance. Just as Lewis was about to approach her, the elderly driver of the car, who was around 70 years old, stepped out of the vehicle. Noticing that she was shivering due to the cold, he inquired about her presence in the area at such a late hour. She revealed that she had been kidnapped and that her abductor was chasing her.

Upon seeing Alayna in distress, an elderly woman in the car urged her to quickly take a seat in their vehicle. As soon as Alayna had settled in, she mentioned the address she needed to go to, but before she could say anything else, she collapsed. The kind woman promptly draped her coat over Alayna to keep her warm.

The woman's husband suggested that they take her to their home and then to her residence the following morning. However, his wife was apprehensive, saying it was risky as they didn't know who her kidnapper was or their capabilities. They decided to take her straight to her parents' house, a haven for her at the time.

Upon arrival, they were questioned by the security guard, who then saw Alayna and immediately called her parents and brother, Max. Alayna's family rushed out, weeping upon seeing her condition. Max took her to her room, and the couple was thanked and offered a reward for their efforts, but they declined, saying they did it as if she were their own daughter. Alayna's parents insisted they stay for a while to rest and offered to compensate them for the fuel, so they spent some time at her house before leaving.

Her parents and brother were anxiously waiting for Alayna to wake up, and upon seeing her wounds, they were overcome with emotion and began to cry. After eight hours had passed, Alayna finally opened her eyes and saw her family members sitting by her bedside. Overwhelmed with emotion, she burst into tears. Her mother held her tightly and reassured her that she was safe and that they would find the person responsible for her trauma.

Alayna disclosed to her parents that the perpetrator of her kidnapping and rape was none other than Lewis. Her parents were outraged and immediately reported his identity to the police. Lewis was subsequently featured in the news as a wanted criminal, and a reward of 10 million dollars was offered to anyone who could provide information leading to his capture. The police launched an extensive search for Lewis, tracing his phone number and interviewing individuals who had been in contact with him to determine his whereabouts.

After leaving the apartment, Lewis went to an abandoned location near the airport. However, upon realizing that he was the most wanted criminal and that the police were guarding all areas of the airport and ports to prevent him from fleeing the country, he realized he had no chance of escaping.

Desperate, Lewis reached out to his father for help. As his parents' only child, Lewis begged his father to help him avoid jail. His father agreed to help, but on the condition that Lewis not reveal his involvement if he was caught. He explained that, as a businessman, he could not afford to lose his reputation. His father also warned him that he would not be in contact with him once he left the country. Lewis agreed to his father's conditions and was given the address of the port from where the ship would be departing at midnight. He was instructed to be there on time.

In the meantime, Max contacted Edward, Blayke, and Danielle to inform them that Alayna had been found and was at their house. When they arrived and saw her covered in bandages, they felt distraught but also glad that she was found.

Edward stepped out of the room and asked Max for details on how they found Alayna and who was responsible for her abduction. Max explained the whole story, including how she had left the apartment and ended up at their house and that Lewis was the perpetrator.

The police conducted a search of the apartment where Alayna had been held captive. They collected fingerprints and questioned people in the surrounding area. Eventually, they received a call from someone who reported that Lewis was aboard a departing ship. Police immediately arrived at the port and searched the ship, ultimately discovering Lewis hiding in the storage area.
