Chris, Erwin and the other guards along with Tristan and his friends, they all drove to the places that Tristan saw the van. They followed his every word like children following a teacher's word every step of the way.
The route that Tristan mentioned over the phone led them to north. They continued to drive and arrived on an underground tunnel used for cars since the place above it was a railway. There weren't many cars passing by and there wasn't that much light as well since some of the lights were broken.
"Wait! Something's wrong." Tristan's voice came through from the other line. "The van, it didn't come out of the tunnel."
"What do you mean?" Chris questioned with his fear rising to another level. "Did they change cars?"
"That's what I'm thinking, too." Tristan replied to him. "Let me continue to monitor while you continue to check the surrounding's there."
Chris didn't say anything because his eyes were wide open as he stared on to the van in the tunnel. It was the same van that the kidnappers used and just like what they guessed, they have changed cars and left the van there.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I'll tear these people apart once I get them." He cursed angrily which didn't escape everyone's sense of hearing.
"This is going to be difficult." Tristan commented. "I'm seeing two cars coming out of the tunnel few seconds after the other and they're taking two different routes. One of these cars carry your girlfriend while the other does not."
"I'll divide the team." Chris commented. "I'll take Erwin and the bodyguards with me. Can you follow the other car, Officer Seville?"
Lucian nodded readily. "I'll keep in touch with you."
"Thank you, officer."
"No big deal." Lucian got inside his own car and not long after, he received a call from Tristan, telling him which car to follow and which route to take. He even gave them a map of the route that the car took and the location of the place where it stopped.
The same thing went with Chris. He received the information of the other car as well as the location where it stopped.
The two teams left but they asked someone to stay and keep watch of the van in order to secure it as evidence for the kidnapping incident. Officer Richard, the policeman who called Chris earlier was cooperating with them and also went to inform Rissy's family. Chris has been busy thinking about his girlfriend's welfare that he forgot to tell her parents.
In fact, he didn't want to tell them yet but Rissy's parents already have a hunch of what has happened when Rose arrived at their home.
Her mother had been crying and refused to eat dinner and so, the food that they prepared has gone cold. They didn't have any appetite to eat their food. And when the police officer came to inform them of what has happened, confirming their suspicion, Rissy's mother fainted on the spot.
It was chaotic. It was saddening. It brought anxiety to everyone's heart. They were all worried.
On a rundown hut, with holes on every corner and wall, Rissy was staring emptily in the dark sky. Her eyes were dull and lifeless while the stars twinkled like diamonds in the sky. There was no light inside the hut. There was no moon to give light to her dark world. No human came to her aid.
Her hair was disheveled. Her clothes were torn to pieces. Bruises can be seen everywhere on her body. Her face was swollen. Her mouth was wounded. Her hands and feet were tied on the bed post.
"Let me get another round with her and we'll dispose her in the morning." A man's voice sounded from the outside.
"Of course. We'll get another round with her. We've got to make most of our time with her before throwing her away." Another man replied.
"Her body felt so good inside. I told you. It's worth our time tailing her." someone said with a tone of excitement.
"Where did you find this woman? I didn't know you've got some great taste in opposite sex."
"Well, she used to by milk at the convenience store where I used to work. She smells so good and I got addicted to her scent. So, I started to tail her since she likes milk so much. And now, we're taking turns giving her milk." The man answered accompanies with maniacal laughter. His eyes were gleaming perversely.
"You're such a pervert." Someone retorted.
"You're just like me." The man stated with faint laughter.
They were eating some snacks and drinking beer while talking about her. Tears fell on the side of Rissy's face. Her body ached so much. Every time she moved her limbs, she felt like she broke two or three bones of hers. Her head was still aching when she tried smashing it on the headboard. She wanted to end her life by herself.
She didn't know how much time has passed as she continued to stare at the dark sky through the huge gaping hole on the roof.
She didn't know that they came back inside and she didn't feel anything when they mounted on her. She could only feel the pain all over her body but she couldn't think of anything. She couldn't shout. She couldn't scream. Her mouth was gagged to prevent her from doing so.
When they had their fill, one of the men took out his gun and aimed it at her. She was still staring on the dark sky with her dull and lifeless eyes. And when she closed it, tears fell on the side of her face and three gunshots sounded in the middle of the night. Birds flew from the branches they perched on. Animals ran around like headless flies, not knowing which direction to go.
In that moonless night, she laid still on the bed inside the rundown hut with no lights.
