Ivan's frustration bubbled over. "Damn it!" he hissed. "Where could they be taking her?"
Nikolas placed a hand on his shoulder. "We'll find her, Ivan. We have to."
They hurried back to their car, following the van at a safe distance. The journey seemed endless, the tension growing with every mile. Ivan's mind raced, trying to piece together where Viktor could be taking Leanne.
The van eventually led them to an industrial area on the outskirts of the city. They parked a distance away, watching as Viktor and his accomplice entered an old warehouse.
Ivan and Nikolas moved in cautiously, their senses on high alert. The warehouse was dark and foreboding, the perfect place for Viktor to hide Leanne.
They slipped inside, the silence pressing down on them. Ivan's heart pounded in his chest as they searched the building, the darkness making it difficult to see.
Every shadow seemed to move, every sound amplified in the stillness.
