. The moment he got to his office he put a call through,
 ''Hello, am in my office come over'' 
 'ok sir, ''  
 A moment later, Mr Harry the head of the Security team came in,  '' Good day sir, i am surprised to see you at work, what can i do for you'' .
Richard was baffled, '' i received a call from you earlier telling me that there is an emergency'' .
 ''That is impossible sir, i was even about to go home myself, i did not call you sir'', Mr harry was confused on how someone will pretend it him to deceive the boss.
 ''ok not to worry, i will get to the bottom of this, obviously someone wants me in the office for a reason, or somebody is just playing a joke on me". 
He was baffled on why someone will go out of their way to make sure he was in the office, he paused in his conversation to anwser his ringing cell, he was surprised to see Tiwa's name, ''hello tiwa, hope everything is alright?'' it was a very hysterical voice that answered him, ''it all just happened very fast, i mean one minute we were having fun the next thing i knew was a van with hefty men grabbing both of them'' she explained with her voice breaking.  
 " Am sorry who are you referring to "? 
  "Adele and your daughter" she wailed.
 Richard was numb for what seems like a century, "are you listening " tiwa asked, "Stay where you are, am coming" his brain was in over drive has he dashed out of the office. 


 ''Lets all calm down a minute, we have start investigating '' the detective  handling the case addressed the room, which comprised of Richard, his family, bibiola and her husband,
 ''Could you step aside with me for a moment''  the officer asked richard.
  ''can you think of anything that happened or any one that may want to hurt your family'' .
Richard was about to shake his head that he could not think of anything when he remembered that it was an unresolved issue that brought him into the office.
  ''officer i think there is something unsual that happened, i left my fiance and daughter at the shopping mall earlier this morning because i received a call that there was an emergency at work, but i was surprised when i got to work and there is nothing like emergency, infact we don't know who use one of my staff i.d to call me, that was what i was resolving  before this whole thing happened'' he explained. 
  "it was as if someone wants me out of the way".  
   ''Alright that's very good, it seems we need to meet your staffs that were around in the office at the time it happened, especially the person whose phone was used, and we will also need the video footage, because from what you just explained now it obvious that the person that called you wants you at the office at the time your daughter and fiancee were kidnapped, But don't worry we will find them'',  and also i will need to talk to the lady that called you to inform you of the kidnapping"

       Richard could not sleep a wink all through the night his brain was on active mode he kept thinking about what the officer told him, and he could not help but reason along with him, it obvious that the people that carried out the operation is somehow linked to the phone call he received from whoever that called him. He wished that he had not received the call, atleast that way he will be with them and be able to protect them, anybody that will kidnap them will have to go through him first.
       When it was exactly 3:05am his cell phone rang, he quickly picked it up praying that it adele but it was not  ''hello, who is this? He asked for it was a voice that he could not place,  "listen carefully we have your daughter and bride, if you corperate with us nothing will happen to them and that means doing What we tell you to do,  when we tell you to do it, and no police should be involved. And once you disobey you can kiss your family goodbye".
  Richard was shaken to the core,  "alright what do you want,  and how am i sure that you have them " he heard some shuffling around after a minute he heard the voice of his daughter "daddy am scared please come and get us" 
 "Don't worry i will,  Just be strong for me, how is Adèle ? ".
 The phone was jacked away from her before he could have any sensible response.
 "that is enough "
 "please i just want to know how my fiancé is doing ".
  he was livid by now but he knew he has to remain calm. 
   "listen our terms and conditions are easy, your Company is about to launch a new software into the market, and i know it a big break for you and more money and recognition, on that note i want the sum of Ten million Naira in exchange for your family, details of how to go about it will be communicated to you"  "What ? "Richard exclaimed . But the kidnappers has already disconnected. 
   He was confused on the next course of action, for he was not sure if after doing what they want they will release them. He has heard of several cases that the victims are killed even after meeting the demands,  he was not sure if he should notify the police.
