The man placed a micro-SD card in Blair's hand, and closed her fingers in a fist around it. Blair was more puzzled than afraid, and slowly opened her fingers, Looking at the SD card in her hand. When she raised her head again, the man was gone.

She Looked around, but only darkness met her gaze. She got goose bumps all over.

‘This thing must be really important. I should probably call Wesley, ' she thought, closing her fist around the SD card. She took out her phone, about to call Wesley, but her battery was dead.

She had to turn around to hail a taxi; she decided to go to the hospital.

At this moment, she saw two men in masks approaching her out of the corner of her eye. Her gut instinct told her that something was not right. With that, she ran away as fast as her Legs would take her.

Like she thought, the two men ran after her as well.

Blair realized that they wanted the SD card. She had to find a place to hide it. There! The perfect spot!

At the hospital, Wesley had closed his eyes, deciding to surrender to sleep. Suddenly, his phone began to vibrate under his pillow.

It was a foreign number. Wesley saw no red flags, since he did get called to service from all over. He sat up in the bed and answered it.

"Wesley?" The person on the other end of the phone was using a voice changer, pitched extremely Low, so Wesley couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

“And you are?" Wesley asked.

“It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is..." The person paused, and then a woman's shriek came from the other end.

"You hear that? I think you know that voice."

He did know it, to his consternation. And judging from how it sounded, she was in pain, or danger, or both. His hands balled into fists.

"What do you want?" he asked through gritted teeth.

This was no accident. Whoever it was waited until he was laid up in the hospital, and then kidnapped Blair.

“She has something we're looking for. We asked her about it, but she won't talk. She's so stubborn, huh? No wonder she's your woman."

"You idiots! She doesn't have it. I do. Come and get it!" Wesley spat.

"She got kidnapped because of me, ' he thought bitterly.

The other person laughed out Loud.

“My people saw someone giving it to her. I guess he thought she'd give it to you. We got to her before she could."

*So that's what's going on. I have to find a way to save her, ‘ he thought.

“If you don't believe me, then there's no point in continuing this," Wesley said.

"Wait!"

“What ?"
