Some hours earlier...
Blaze was busy checking out a newly acquired gold mining field with his team of engineers and some private investors, at the interior part of Oak town, - a settlement hundreds of kilometres away from the city - when he received a disturbing message from Tina.
The message simply said Amelia was in bad shape and needed help urgently, with detailed information about her location.
Puzzled by the absurdity of the text message, Blaze put a call across to Amelia.
He waited breathlessly as her phone rang, expecting to hear her sweet voice. But after three trials with no response, he instantly knew something was wrong.
Frustrated and slightly agitated at the inability to access the listening device implanted in Amelia's bracelet due to distance and bad network reception, Blaze quickly dialled Pascal's number.
But before the call could connect, he got an incoming call from Pascal.
