Chapter 246 - The search

Leo felt like his soul just left him, because if Belle is now a human, then Clara has also become a human.

What would she be doing at this kind of place? He looked around again and everything was so silent and creepy.

If one were to come here during the night time, it would be hell of a creepy experience, because you could see thick bushes from a distance and all sorts of wild animals could reside here.

He finally felt the fear that he had been trying not to feel, because a part of him still held back from losing it, believing that Clara is not an ordinary woman, but now he couldn't say the same.

Something must not happen to her.

She must not get hurt!

He held his hands above his head and looked left and right. Everywhere is plain, so where could she be?

Was she hurt and thrown here?

Oh dear lord! He prayed that it's not up to that, because he can't lose her.

Who could be behind this?

"Begin the search from here." Leo instructed the guys who were very confused and wondering why Leo came here.

They aren't any CCTV on the way here, which made them wonder how he suddenly came to this location, but still, order is order.

They brought out a sets of communication devices and inserted it their ears. It was in the form of a bluetooth.

So that they will be able to communicate with each other about the findings at their end.

They all spread into the bush and began searching, hoping to locate anything. Just anything to give them a clue that they were in the right place and Clara isn't suffering where she was and they were wasting time here.

Leo instructed Lincoln to bring Belle with him and not bother doing anything. He would be in charge of carrying her.

The search began

...

Meanwhile

Clara opened her eyes and again, she wasn't dreaming.

She was still with this lunatic.

Immediately she opened her eyes, he also did the same.

"That was fast." Callum said and Clara sprung up, despite feeling weak.

She needed to leave this place. She wasn't entirely useless, because she trained with Leo's men as if she was a human and had those skills.

Before Callum could tried to touch her, she threw a punch at him, but he swiftly ducked it and then he reached out to hold her again and she threw another one.

He ducked it and soon, it turn into to a real fight.

Callum, trying to stop her and she, going on a rampage. He was more Interested in her strength and the way she looked so s.e.xy when throwing that fist and huffing and despite looking tired, she didn't give up.

What an Interesting woman. He thought and soon, Clara got tired out.

It seems the dude was not useless when it comes to fighting, because she didn't even get to land a blow.

Her weak state even added to it.

Her eyes build up with tears as he had now got hold of her hands and turned her around in a flash.

Like a maniac, he maintained a sweet smile as she struggled to pull away from him.

"I will kill you!" She panted hard and kept trying hard.

"Easy now. You will soon learn to accept me. No escape here, baby. Even if you do anything to me, there's no way out of here.

We're underground. Not even that dude could locate where we are. I want you and I'm having you." He said in a creepy tone and Clara burst into tears.

"Oh god! Why are you doing this? Let me go. I can never ever love you." She said in a broken tone, before she felt another sharp pain at the back of her neck.

He just knocked her out again.

"You will. It's just a matter of time and I'm willing to wait." He said with a smile and gently lay her on the bed.

....

After searching for more than three hours without any success, they started to doubt if they could find Clara there, but Leo insisted that they keep searching.

He understood their doubts, because he didn't explain to them how he got a lead to where they are now.

He just brought them over to an isolated area and ordered them to start searching, so it is understandable that they felt confused.

If it is left to Tim's boys, they will begin their search by hacking into the CCTV in the whole town, starting from Clara's last seen spot.

"Someone is here!" A voice came through the earpiece. 

"Who?" Leo asked anxiously. 

"A man in a black suit with an old woman, they have some sort of shopping bags with them." The voice informed.

"Everyone hide, don't let them notice you." Leo said, and they all started hiding all over, while the man walked past them without noticing a thing.

He even looked around as the area looked like people had visited it, but shook it off his mind, and thought maybe Callum had some people over.

The route he took to the place was different from the one Leo and his squad took, if not, he would have seen the cars parked by them.

The man and the woman walked past them without suspecting a thing.

"You return back to the car with Ciara, we will handle it from here" Leo instructed Lincoln, because Belle needed to be safe.

She's human now and who knows what awaits them?

After Lincoln left with Belle, "Don't alert them. Give enough gaps before you follow, do you understand?" Leo said, and heard everyone reply that they did.

But to their surprise, the man and the woman did not even walk too far from where they were before they stopped.

As a matter of fact, they had searched up to the place the man stopped and found nothing.
