Chapter 611: Rescuing Rachel - Part 2

"Where's Rachel?" Joshua yelled as he stared at the three men walking leisurely towards the warehouse, without any care in the world. Even the car looked to be empty, and for a moment, an unknown fear filled his heart and his eyes widened in panic.

"What do you mean? Weren't you tracking her?" Ian leaned over to see what had happened. Both Joshua and Daniel were frozen and in shock, and he wondered what had happened for them to behave this way.

Although not a word had been spoken yet, Ian could sense it to be bad and extremely unpleasant. He frowned slightly as he stared at Joshua's laptop. Other than a few cars near a warehouse, he could not find anything else worthy of his attention.

"Jo, what did you find out?" Ian looked back and forth between the two men in front of him, his brows furrowing further.

"Rachel was right in this car all this time. How could she have vanished all of a sudden?" Daniel answered him as he kept staring at the laptop screen. "How is it even possible?"

"We must have missed something crucial. Let me rewind the video and see what we can find out." Without delaying any further, he started to check the CCTV on the path the car had driven, tracing back from the warehouse until he found a part where the car had taken an underpass.

"Dammit," He gritted his teeth and almost threw his laptop in fury.

"They must have switched Rachel into another car again while they were here," Daniel commented after seeing Joshua pause the video. "But how are we going to find out what has happened and in which car Rachel was in?"

Unlike the other roads where they could track the car using the CCTV that were installed on them the car had driven on. But this time, they could not find any camera in the underpass, making it impossible for them to find out in which car had Rachel been forced to travel.

"Can you check all the cars that took the underpass at the same time the car Rachel was initially in?" Ian questioned hopefully, even though he knew how tedious the task would be for Joshua.

Without Maggie or anyone else helping him, the poor man was taking care of a lot of matters and each one among them was important, considering how the lives of their loved ones were at risk. 

"That would take a lot of time, Ian. Quite a lot of cars passed by at the same time. We do not know which one among them had Rachel." Joshua sighed. But he did not accept defeat and started to check all the cars that had been on the same lane as the car in which Rachel had been initially.

"Is there any way I can help you?" Ian queried, and Joshua nodded at him and recalled the conversation he had heard when Ronnie had called him.

"I think it would be better if you could go to Noah's help." Joshua frowned and bit his lips as he thought about it. "I do not know how many people are on Jared's side. Even though Noah has Kaito, he would still need someone among us to shoulder the trouble he would be facing soon."

"What about Ronnie? Isn't he with Noah?" Ian stood up and prepared to depart on hearing Joshua. He pulled out his gun and started to check its condition.

"He isn't. Ronnie was shot and Noah sent him away, though I am thinking that he has issued him a secret mission." 

"What? Who shot him? Was it Jared?" Ian stopped moving and stared at Joshua, unable to believe it.

"Shane." Joshua sighed and started to follow another car that had passed by at the same time through the underpass.

"Who Shane? Noah's assistant Shane?" Ian was stupefied when Joshua nodded at him and he blanked out for a moment.

"Why the fuck did he shoot Ronnie?" Ian could not comprehend what was even happening here. His mind was already a mess from all that had happened in the day and now, he had more to deal with. How convenient!!

"Shane's cousin is Mason." On seeing that Ian was about to interrupt, Joshua continued. "The one that kept pestering Aria and apparently, they only had each other as family. So, to seek revenge on Noah he joined hands with Jared."

"Dammit." Even without Joshua continuing, Ian understood what was happening and he let out a sigh. "I'll leave right away. Keep me updated on Rachel and the girls."

A silent conversation ensued between the two men and Daniel more or less guessed what was happening. While Ian and Noah were going to save the girls from Jared, Joshua and Daniel were responsible for rescuing Rachel. For a moment, he was touched to think that the two men had allowed him on their plan, not hiding anything from him.

Though he was surprised by their words, especially when they were prepared to kill Jared for what he had done, it was only momentary. Being a lawyer for years and after dealing with a lot of powerful people, he had come across many who had men willing to kill for them and protect them. So, he was not shocked to find Noah and Joshua having an army with them, especially when they belonged to the creme la da creme of the rich.

But what shocked him greatly was Aria's involvement in this. He was still unsure why Aria and Ivy had decided to join in this mission, and he vocalized his thoughts gaining the two men's attention on him.

"Joshua will fill in the details, Daniel. I will have to leave now." Ian gave him an apologetic look and rushed out of the mansion even before he could get a response.

Daniel diverted his gaze on Joshua who was staring at his laptop with his lips pursed.

"Your friend is not as innocent and gentle as you assume her to me, Daniel. She is tough and damn amazing."

"What do you mean?"

"She is well versed in the art of fighting and using a gun, and she along with Ivy have now gone to save Maggie, one her friends, who is now in Jared's grasp. Got it?"

Daniel was just about to question him more about it when Joshua shouted at the end. 

"Found her. I found Rachel."

"Where is she? Where have they taken her?"

"I now understood the meaning behind Shane's words. Rachel is in her home, and Jared's men are keeping a watch over her."
