"Open your truck's rear" said one of the Soldiers. Frey felt like he had seen this face before, but he couldn't remember where, until he saw the badge written "Janes" on his chest pocket along with his name. As Frey was about to repeat the same code words to this soldier as well, a soldier received a call from Jason, "Let the truck pass and don't tell anyone that I ordered you, just tell them that driver spoke the code words of the disposal worker" said he to a soldier, after which the soldier let them pass without any suspicion. Frey kept on thinking about why the soldier let them pass after receiving a phone call, and who it really was. He drove the truck as fast as could, till they reached into a road where Santa city had ended and some plains and forests then began. After about 30 minutes, another soldier standing on the checkpoint along with that Janes' soldier received a call from Wiltons family owner named George Wiltons, that their other soldiers investigating in the Central park had found out the dead body hidden behind some bushes. As it was the dead body of some sweeper whose name and identity was also included in the list of workers, all the families there had now understood the kidnapping plan used by the kidnappers. "Follow the trash truck that passed about half an hour ago!" said the George Wiltons as they were keeping an eye on all cameras of city. Now, the soldier of Wiltons family standing at that checkpoint just remembered that soldier belonging to Janes family had already let the truck pass through without checking its rear, though without wasting any more time, he ordered all the soldiers belonging to different families to follow the trash truck. 

After few minutes... 

About 20 cars were moved to follow the trash truck, as fast as they could. On reaching the end of Santa city where cameras weren't installed, they found the truck standing there on one side of the road. They investigated the truck thoroughly and found no one inside. Kidnappers might had changed the vehicle or went somewhere in the nearby forests. Soldiers reported the situation to owners of their respective families, upon which the George Wiltons, owner of the most higher ranked family among all those present there, ordered them to search for the kidnappers in the forests and about half number of soldiers should keep up the search in the on going road. Meanwhile, in the forest, Frey, Karin and Raymond with carried up Harisha on his shoulders, were walking across the forest. Their aim was to reach the city on the other side of forest, named Freitas, it was a small city which was full of trees and other greenery. Though the walking distance to the city was more than two days, and it was quite impossible for them to survive the quest of the soldiers for that long in the forest. "I already told you that it's not easy to kidnap any Elite woman, now in no time, we are going to be surrounded by soldiers with guns pointing at us" said Raymond while he was hardly walking due to carrying Harisha over his shoulders. "Hey Frey, say something.. Are we gonna die soon? What's your plan next?" asked Karin, annoyingly. "I don't make plans, I just react according to situations" said Frey, grinning. "What the fuck! Man! Boss said that you have very accurate plans!" said Raymond in pissed off tone. "Yeah, that's just called using a mind, I don't really rely on plans" said Frey, like he wasn't feeling the danger of situation. "By the way, why am I carrying Harisha on my shoulders, when all we are ordered to do is just to kill her?" asked Raymond. "No, we aren't going to kill her, I want to use her as my test subject of drug I'm making" said Frey, ignoring eye contact with Raymond, because he lied to Raymond that he would kill Harisha just after kidnapping her. "What? What's that now all of a sudden? Weren't we going to kill her after kidnapping her?" asked Karin annoyingly. "Yeah, we will, but keep patience, I first want to use her as my test subject. Though, if she agrees to come on media and apply the drug Fermin she has made on herself, then she will not have to be my test subject, before we kill her" said Frey, still not looking at their faces. He knew he was sounding like some psychopath. "What the fuck! We were never informed of your such non sense plans from the beginning! Are we risking our lives just to make you use her as your test subject?" asked Raymond, getting extremely angry. "Look Raymond, you hate Elites? Don't you? Do you know why we hate? Because of their brutality and animal-like behavior towards us. When she kept all those 149 children and adolescents encaged for about 70 days, Can you imagine what was the situation of their parents and relatives who had lost their beloved ones? The same is the situation of Harisha's family today. And when I'll keep her encaged in the same way, and make video of her each passing day in that cage, to show that to the world, then all those victim families would feel a big releif, wouldn't they?" said Frey, in a serious tone. "No Frey, I don't agree to your such immoral ideas, after we get out of this troublesome situation, I will kill Harisha myself with just one shot to her forehead" said Karin, in a pissed off tone. "Don't think about coming into my way of avenging, it can seriously hurt our friendship, Karin" said Frey with his elevated brows and rigid face. Karin had never seen Frey's this face before, she thought that he was a good person to begin with, since when he robbed a bank for her help. But now she felt deeply unsettled about seeing this all about him, though she pretended to stay normal as she knew it wasn't right time to create any mess like that. Frey hadn't seen this forest before, but his mind could analyze things very accurately, as his mind had made all the dimensions and angles of it, Frey knew that they were walking on the right track which is shortest to the Freitas city. He was also continuously thinking about who helped him escape the Janes soldier, whose call could it be. When they had reached a little far distance in the forest, he searched for that soldier's profile in Janes family portal, which he had hacked when he was a part of family. He had already read his name, written on his badge placed on chest pocket. On searching this soldier's details, he found out his private number. This portal was actually there to be used by Jason to have all the details of his soldiers at one place. He was made the Commander of military of Janes family at only 18 years of age, by their father, at the times of crisis. He called that soldier through that number, "Ringing.. Ringing.. Hello" said Frey to the soldier named Mallow Junes, "Hello, who's it?" said Mallow. "I'm the truck driver you let pass through, without checking its rear on someone's order. We are now stuck in the middle of forest and can be killed at the moment we are caught by soldiers roaming all about the forest in our quest, if there's something you can do to help us escape through this, then please don't delay" said Frey. "Okay got it, wait till I let you know" said Mallow after which he hung up. "Wow! We could even ask for help from soldiers? Thank God there's an Elite with us" said Karin in her usual energetic tone. "Hey man, can we really trust a soldier?" asked Raymond with frowns. There was a gap of silence, Frey ignored Raymond's question. Sitting beside the tree, Frey decided to wait for that soldier's response. He knew that only that soldier could help them escape now, and that there was no use walking across the forest, because they couldn't never reach the city, without any interaction with soldiers, and only one such interaction could lead them all to death. After about two to three minutes, Frey's phone rang, "Keith, turn on your location, and keep on walking towards north, there's a river flowing speedily, my soldier has arranged a boat there for you because normally there are no boats, keep Harisha safe, don't let her die, she has very important information" said Jason, in his normally firm voice. On hearing his older brother's voice after such a long time, Frey felt aches in his heart like he felt when he was at his mother's funeral. After all the things he had done to burn his connections with his family, he felt like he was still a part of it somehow, and he could never run away from what he was born with. Perhaps, this is how all blood relations are, no matter what you do to erase them, they still keep on appearing in your life, reminding you your real origin from time to time. "Why are you helping me with all this?" asked Frey in shaking voice. "We can talk about that later" said Jason, after which he hung up. Frey had got some kind of trauma about what he had done to his family, though he never thought that he was wrong in doing all that. Whenever his emotions and perception of right and wrong collided with each other in his whole existence, his condition would start becoming worse, like his heart aching, his body temperature rising, his heart beat getting faster, his face sweating, and all those physical signs were in reality the appearance of his worsening psychological trauma. Maybe, this was all because he loved his family so much that he extremely wanted to be with them, but couldn't go back because of his completely opposite beleifs. "Frey, what's wrong with you?" asked Raymond as he noticed he was lost somewhere, his eyes teary and his face flushed. Frey didn't respond while tears started flowing through his eyes down upto his cheeks, and he placed his hand on his chest like there were aches there. "Frey! You couldn't be like that in this situation! Get up and guide us through this trouble or else we'll all be dead because of you!" shouted out Karin in a shrieking voice. Meanwhile, they all heard the voices of footsteps, indicating that soldiers had reached upto there. Frey slapped himself for multiple times, like he once did in a shock when he watched the footages for the first time, woke himself up from his haunting nightmare and started running towards the river about which Jason had guided him. After running for about half an hour, they reached the river where boat was found as guided, they got into the boat and starting rowing it, as fast as possible. Meanwhile, the soldiers kept on searching through the forest, whenever soldier of any family would decide to search towards north, Janes' soldiers would take the responsibility to themselves to keep Keith safe. Thus, with the help of Jason and manipulating acts of Janes' soldiers, Frey got out of all this trouble and successfully reached the city named Freitas. There were about five small cities around that forest including Freitas, and all of those had no ruling family in them, so the crime rates were very high as compared to big cities where military forces of ruling family would control such matters. As they reached the Freitas, they sat on its beach to have some rest before they proceed further. Raymond had put unconscious Harisha's head on his lap, pretending like she's just sleeping, while eating sand witches they had ordered. There was a ringing at Karin's phone, it was Seger, "Yeah Boss?... Okay.. Got it" then she hung up. Karin was informed by Seger that he has informed one of his agents to come there to pick them up in a car, to drop them into some basement where they could take Harisha without any fear of being caught. Just after a while, a car came there and they all sat inside it. The car's driver was an agent of Seger, his name was Brooklyn, about 30 plus man, wearing casual shirt and trouser, summer slippers, messed up curly hair of brown color, black eyes, mustaches were as big as to cover his upper lip. He kept on looking at Frey through his front mirror, maybe because he was told that Frey was an only Elite among all agents of Seger.
