**Over at Justin's side**
He was sitting together with familiar acquaintances - members of the Nighthawk team in a moving van and each one of them, including him all had a solemn expression on their faces as they stared fixatedly at the person typing away furiously on the laptop.
Ding!
A notification that signalled the arrival of a message suddenly rang out, sounding particularly loud within the confines of the vans.
Adding to the fact that everyone was already tense with nervousness, the abrupt sound almost made them snap. So when Justin saw three pairs of eyes turn to look at him, he could only rub his nose in slight embarassment and muttered a soft 'sorry' before taking out his phone from his suit's pocket.
But before checking the contents of the message, he glanced at the man typing away on the laptop, Kyle, codenamed V who was the hacker in the Nighthawk's team and also the best in the whole gang and sighed in relief when he saw that except for a slight frown and a minute pause, he wasn't distracted from what he was doing.
After which he turned attention to the phone in his hands and after unlocking the phone, he hurriedly sat upright and clicked on message when he saw that the sender was Ryan.
[Momentary distraction. Speed up the search.]
He understood the contents of the message immediately after reading it.
It seemed like Ryan and Dan has been able to distract the Anderson father and son temporarily.
That meant they would be carrying out Plan B?
...
Back to after Ryan had gotten the news that Selena had gone missing and also tried her number to no avail.
Although there had been a monstrous rage brewing in him, he forced himself to calm down because he knew that that was the only way he could find her faster.
Though, he didn't even need to use his brain to know that the fact that she was missing had something to do with Anderson's, and that made things a lot more easier. So, after notifying Dan and Justin about her disappearance, he took Dan together with some of his subordinates to the Anderson's place and left Justin in charge.
But before leaving, he had discussed some feasible plans with both Dan and Justin and those plans were in the end divided into Plan A and Plan B.
Plan A was that after arriving at the Anderson's, while Justin's side keeps searching for Selena' whereabouts, if it was determined from those two's attitudes that the level of danger that she was going to be in was high, then their demands would be met accordingly even if what they want was the Blood Gang's controlling power.
After all, the gang had long been an empty shell and lost its value since Ryan started shifting his businesses to the light, though outsiders still wouldn't find anything wrong considering that in their eyes, the gang was still operating normally.
Plan B was similar to A but what was different was that if the level of danger that Selena was determined to be in wasn't that high, Ryan and Dan would find a way to distract them and make them let their guard down by making them think that he hadn't sent anyone to find Selena or that he had indeed sent someone but they couldn't find out where she had been hidden while Justin's side intensifies their efforts to find her.
But the most important thing that both plans had in common was that they never banked on leaving Selena's safety completely in the hands of the Anderson's!
This was because they understood that now that Ryan had let it slip that she was indeed his weakness, they might decide to hold her in captivity forever in order to keep Ryan in their control. Maybe, this was unlikely but one couldn't also deny its possibility considering how greedy those two people can get...
...
Yet, both Ryan and Dan never thought that before they could even begin to talk of distracting them, the Anderson father and son had done it themselves, which made their plans a whole lot more easier!
...
Almost at the same time after which Justin relayed Ryan's message to the Nighthawk team, Kyle also pressed the last key on the laptop and turned to say cheerfully to them, "Found the location!"
A hint of joy appeared in all of their eyes on hearing Kyle's words and while Justin also sighed in relief, he knew that the fight wasn't over yet, in fact, it was just beginning.
So, he quickly stopped the team from rejoicing too early and ordered the driver to drive faster and as he glanced around, he couldn't help thinking humorously to himself, 'Who would have thought that few years after cooperating with this same team to rescue Nina, I would still have the opportunity to cooperate with them again in this lifetime..'
'This pair of best friends must really have some fate with kidnapping..'
...
At the same time, in a hidden corner of Nova City, Selena who had just woken up and discovered she was kidnapped had exactly the same thought as Justin did.
'Nina and I seem to really have some fate with getting kidnapped', She thought mirthlessly to herself.
