His Devious Rule

[Alvin, my daughter was kidnapped.] 

Those words turned Alvin\'s face darker. He expected something to happen. Casper had the habit of controlling, when nothing was happening as he wished, it was inevitable for him to take a drastic step. 

However, Liam didn\'t take Alvin\'s help or stayed protected. Hence Alvin purposefully kept the louder tone as if it was an alarm of trouble.

Liam continued, [A-Anya, is there Anya?] He asked in a hurry because Anya was his only hope.

Alvin looked at his wife who was eagerly waiting to know if there was any problem. She wasn\'t a cop to help, how could Liam expect his wife to run to him?

"She has resigned." His displeased voice sounded. Foolish people will never change. If Liam had heard him, he wouldn\'t have needed Anya. 

Anya realized it was something serious. She grabbed his mobile from his hand and asked, "What happened?"

Annoyed seeing her worried, he went to quickly put on his clothes. "Out of the pool." He snapped at the two kids due to his foul mood.

Anya felt the need to teach her husband that he shouldn\'t vent his anger on the kids. However, Liam caught her attention,

[Anya, Ivy is kidnapped. We were in the Better Bites Supermarket. The two men seized us from behind and another man grabbed Ivy from the baby trolley and ran away.]

Anya rushed towards her study which was on the same floor as she instructed Zane, "Baby, take Aunt Sophie\'s help."

Zane and Jia: "…"

Liam paused at her words. He had chased after the man to save Ivy but was late. He was going inside hearing the commotion. 

He continued hurriedly, [I wasn\'t able to catch up. They took black cargo van XXX…XX, in front of the ProBlue business center." He was calling her immediately, afraid to waste any time and risk his daughter\'s life.

He rushed to Lilian who was slammed to the display wall. She was barely able to keep her conscious. 

[Ivy… Ivy…] Anya heard the murmur of Lilian and some high-pitched voices, [I have called an ambulance.]

[I have called the cops.]

Turning on the speaker, Anya asked Liam as she dialed a number from her phone, "How long has it been?" She wanted to confirm.

[Less than a minute ago.]

Anya spoke to the chief of police, "Anya Owen here. Emergency. A black cargo van XXXXX kidnapped a baby girl from Better Bites Supermarket near ProBlue just now. I will assist." 

She began checking the network to track the black car. It will avoid contacting the traffic monitor team and blindly waiting for them to complete the work.

The other end of the call needed a moment to accept that Anya hadn\'t resigned from her job. The chief of Police informed her as soon as he composed, "I\'m connecting to the patrol department."

Thanking the chief, Anya instructed Liam and Lilian, "Mr. Matthews, if your wounds aren\'t serious, cooperate with the cops, fetch the surveillance video of the whole day. Write a complaint to the police agency."

Since she heard an ambulance from the crowd, "Send your wife for treatment." She ended the call.

Before Anya could begin to track the black Cargo, her mobile started ringing, showing Captain David on the display. She didn\'t get a good premonition from the call.

She reached out and slammed on a green button. All the screens lit up in the room and displayed different data. She answered the call as she studied every screen, [Ms. Owen, Emma, and Jackson are headed towards the airport without any luggage.] He reported in hysteria about the two students they were keeping an eye on. 

Since there was no luggage, the informers were following them until they left the city and drove towards the airport. [I don\'t think they are going to pick anybody.] Because their families didn\'t have such connections.

Anya\'s eyes widened. As per the information they gathered, there were two more days before their departure. Neither they could reach the airport in a short time, nor they could execute her plan. 

They could seize the two students but it will alert Miles and others. Knowing about their flight wasn\'t going to be of any help. The cops of different countries wouldn\'t cooperate with them without valid proof or take longer than necessary.

"Damn it." Anya cursed as she wasn\'t in a position to arrest the professor who was sending those students. With a small alert, the whole network will collapse for years.

[Ms. Owen!?] Captain David didn\'t know her plans. However, he could say her plan was wasted. He gave her time, [We will continue to keep an eye on them.] He ended the call.

Anya looked at the screen showing the location black cargo van. Could the kidnap be linked?

Who could be behind the kidnap? 

Casper? Anya wasn\'t sure as he was left powerless by Alvin. 

Miles Johnson? Why would Miles kidnap Ivy? Rather he should be targeting Zane.

\'Argh..\' It could be just a kidnap for ransom.

She quickly dialed Jason who was busy with Paxton\'s mission, "Chief, I\'m sorry to disturb you. I will briefly. The two students have almost reached the airport today without pieces of luggage." She meant to say it was abrupt, out of their control.

If Miles Johnson wasn\'t following her and she played at the front line, she could have had a better grip on her mission. She didn\'t want to risk two students but stopping them will erase the network for years and leave the mission pending for years.

Before taking any action, she wanted to hear Jason\'s opinion, and ask his permission if needed, [Do what suits best.] Because her every decision will directly affect her job. He ended the call right after.

Anya looked at two screens. One was a black cargo van, another was the live location of two students heading toward the airport. Each second became crucial in the kidnap and her mission.

Her decision could make or break two innocent students\' lives. She wasn\'t ready to lose two lives in the name of sacrifice or casualty. To make that decision, she wasn\'t in her calm mind due to the kidnap of a baby.

She didn\'t realize that somebody was again using kids to disturb her focus.
