Even though he was surrounded, Vic laughed with a smug look.
"You really think this bunch can stop me? What a joke!"
"Relax! I'm here too!" Thirteen pushed off a branch and jumped down from the tree. He landed right on Vic's shoulder.
"Sorry, Chantie. I was late. I was eating a fruit."
Chantelle sighed and placed her hand over her face. She motioned for the others to handle Vic. As long as they got the maniac, that was enough.
She pulled out her phone and checked Kane's signal.
The red dot indicated Kane was still blinking.
Since Kane didn't seem to be near the kidnapper, she called his number.
She had almost pinned down his location, but she wasn't sure how close he was to danger. That's why she tracked them in silence, without calling or sending a message. Chantelle worried a sound or alert might risk Kane's safety.
The call connected right away.
On the other end, Kane sounded cheerful.
