Chapter 543: Handover re Giovanni's phone rang suddenly. He stirred in his sleep for a moment but before the phone would stop ringing, he had already reached for it. He placed it on the bed tiredly, still feeling very much sleepy.
It stopped ringing, only for it to start ringing again.
He cursed mentally before he picked it up. It was the captain that was calling.
"Hello, Captain. Good morning," "Good morning, boss. We just discovered that Alex is not in prison." Giovanni sat up. "I don't understand.
What do you mean?"
"Didn't you rescue him out of the prison?" "What are you saying? He was supposed to stay calm for some days.
There's nothing we will gain if we rush this, and you are aware of this. So what are you talking about?" "Well, we can't find Alex in the prison," he announced.
"What!" Giovanni exclaimed softly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What the fuck happened?" "Well," the captain took a deep breath.
"According to the CCTV camera, we realised that he was taken out when he was unconscious. There's one of the prison mates that we suspect because he was there when Alex lost consciousness. But we merely thought this was all your idea," he explained.
"No, I had no plan in this!" He hesitated briefly. "This is Hercules's work. He must have intentionally gotten Alex out. Though, I have no idea why he would do that. You must find my son immediately!" He ordered.
"Yes, boss. We will do that, especially now that we are sure the order didn't come from you. We will torture the man that we suspect. I'm sure he would talk very soon," he assured.
"Good. I'm sure he wouldn't be the only one in the prison. Hercules must have a lot of his men as prison mates." "We will get everyone that is suspicious or has acted suspiciously," he promised.
"Good because nothing must happen to Alex. You have to find him very fast.
| Send some of your men over here. If Grey took Alex, I know where he could have taken him to." rT "But we will need a search warrant before you can search Hercules's house." "Well, get one!" Giovanni yelled. He was so angry. How could Grey have taken a step faster than him? He was slowly planning his failure but it looked like Grey was secretly planning his.
Though, he wondered what Grey wanted with Alex. Was he going to kill him? Damn! He wouldn't allow it! Giovanni got out of bed and hurried out of the room.
Samuel looked up just as three police nt walked nearer to him. He had a wide smile spread on his face.
"Take him!" One is the men ordered.
Two other police rushed toward Samuel and pulled him up forcefully.
They dragged him away and into the torture room.
Samuel's gaze searched around him quickly and well, he already knew what was to come. He had predicted it a few hours before he took the job.
The police walked out.
It took some minutes that felt like an eternity before the door opened again and a man in his late thirties walked inside. He was the Captain.
The captain regarded Samuel for a moment. "You will have to talk if you don't want to be in trouble." Samuel laughed. "What the fuck would you want from me?" "Listen," the captain stressed, with anger in his eyes. "Don't play games with me. Don't you dare or you will get burned!" he threatened.
Samuel smiled softly. "Alright, what do you want?" The captain pulled out a chair in front of him. "Good. Now, what did you do to Alex? How did he lose consciousness?" Samuel regarded him for a moment and then burst into laughter. "You must be kidding me. Why would you ask such a thing from me?"
"The CCTV camera caught you both together. Don't try to deny anything. It would only put you into trouble. — | Samuel released a sigh. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Me being with Alex doesn't mean I have any idea as to his whereabouts." The captain regarded him for a moment and smiled softly. "How did you know his whereabouts is what we are looking for? It shows you know what we are talking about." Samuel held a long face as he looked at the captain. "What? Isn't that common sense? If I was with Alex yesterday and you are asking me about him today.

The captain released his hold on him suddenly and released a deep breath.
He was so angry.
He walked out of the room and hesitated beside two of the police.
"Torture him until he talks. I want the answer in less than thirty minutes." "Yes sir," they chorused and walked
inside the torturing room.
"Captain!" One of the police rushed So closer to the captain.
The captain looked at him. "Is something wrong?" "Yes, boss. We have people from the FBI here. They would like to speak with you." The captain gathered his brows amazingly. "What? Why is that so?" "TI don't know sir. Should I refer them to the boss?" "No," the captain shook his head briefly. "I will attend to them." He released a sigh and followed the police right to where the FBI was.
