Just because you're so quick on the reviews, and since I'll be gone all day today - here's another chapter!
Chapter 12.
"You know what's in the article?" Kelly asked in surprise.
"Yeah, Brown found out about the diamond theft that took place about a month ago. Three armed robbers took off with diamonds worth 5 million dollar. One of them was caught – Michael Carrey, but with their awesome lawyers he managed to get out and skip bail. And that's how I come into the picture. My job is to find him and get him back. I'm also freelancing for the owners of the jewelry store, they want their diamonds back."
"Who were the other two robbers?"
"Anna was one of them, the third I have no idea to be honest. But the third person took off with the diamonds, so in the same time as Anna is trying to stay away from the law, she is also trying to recover her diamonds, together with Michael. Brown was writing about this, he didn't put Anna's name in the paper, but he did put Michael's, and I guessed she killed him because he was getting closer to finding out that Anna was responsible too."
"How did you get all this information?" Kelly asked impressed.
"It's my job to find out." Kamili smiled, and then added. "I've worked on this case for a month, and I have good contacts in good places."
"I bet." Sandra said, still not trusting this woman fully.
"But I guess you don't know where they could be holding Janet and Jenny?"
"Who's Jenny?"
"She works with the FBI, we usually works together with them. She's also a close friend and she had some information about the case, but got kidnapped before she could tell it to us."
"Oh. Well, I do know where they are being kept. At least I guess so, it's the only place that seem logical."
Kelly and Sandra just stared at her. Did she know where they were?
"Anna and Michael's father passed away three months ago, he was their last living relative. He used to run a sawmill a few miles from here, but closed it about two years ago when he got very sick, and that decease is also what killed him. Anna and Michael inherited the sawmill, and it has been closed ever since their father closed it. It's a great place to stash people, because it's really not a place where people go. It's been closed for a long time and it's a dangerous place to play at."
"Do you know where it's located?"
"Yep."
"Then let's go."
Kamili gave them the address before Kelly and Sandra got into one car and Kamili jumped onto a black motorcycle. She grabbed the rubber band in her hair and pulled it out, making the dreadlocks hit her shoulders. She put on a helmet and then hurried down the street in very high speed, driving between cars, making dangerous turns, but still looked calm. It didn't take long before Kelly and Sandra had lost her. At least they had the address. .
In the car, Kelly grabbed the phone. It didn't take long before the familiar voice came in the other side.
"Yeah?"
"Hi, it's me. We've got a lead on where JanJen are being held."
JanJen had become an inside joke when Kelly once was going to call for them both and accidentally put their names together in the hurry. Ever since they had all used that nickname when they were talking or calling for the two of them.
"Give me the address and we'll be right there to back you up."
Kelly gave her the address and was just about to hang up when she heard her name being said in the phone.
"Kelly, wait."
"What?"
"Do not go in without us. We're bringing a SWAT team. Wait for us."
"Sure." Kelly said before she hung up the phone.
Kris hurried down to Zeke Mount's office, knowing she had very little time. There was no way Kelly would wait for them, so they needed to get there, fast.
As Kelly and Sandra got to the old sawmill, Kelly parked far away up the road. She did not want to be seen – Anna and Michael would panic and kill JanJen immediately, or shoot Kelly and Sandra through the window. Kelly and Sandra looked around for the black motorcycle, but didn't see it anywhere.
"I thought she was going to help us out." Kelly whispered confused as she pulled out a Kevlar from the back of her car, handing it to Sandra before pulling one up for herself.
"Evidentially not." Sandra sighed. "I'm not sure about her Kell. She just took off and I don't see her here. She can't be that stupid that she walked inside by herself?"
"No, I doubt it. She knows what we're dealing with."
Both Kelly and Sandra made sure the Kevlar vests sat tight before both of them pulled jackets over them, checked their guns and then slowly walked up towards the sawmill.
"Weren't we supposed to wait for Kris and the SWAT-team?" Sandra whispered.
"And let them kill JanJen while we wait? No way. I'm not losing another angel."
They quietly, but quickly, took a tour around the building, but only found one way in. It was all in wood, with a lot of windows, and as far as Kelly could see it was three storages high.
Kelly was first in through the door. She had her gun in front of her, of course, and she looked around. Completely deserted, the bottom floor looked like it had been cleaned out and used as a garage. Two cars were standing in there, and both Sandra and Kelly recognized them – Anna's and Michael's.
Kelly saw a slim wooden stair lead up to the next floor and she slowly began walking up for it, one step at the time, her gun pointed towards the end of it. If she saw someone who didn't have dark hair, she would shoot. No hesitation. Sandra was a few steps behind them, making sure no one came up behind their backs and surprised them.
As Kelly and Sandra got up on the second floor, they heard voices. They heard a male voice shout at someone, and he was angry. Very, very angry.
"I don't know!"
Kelly and Sandra sent each other a look of worry when they heard Janet scream out in desperation. Kelly moved closer to where the sound came from, Sandra covering her back.
"You do know! You guys have to know!"
"I don't! I don't know what you're talking about! You've got the wrong information you moro-ouch!"
Kelly closed her eyes for a second as she heard Janet cry out in pain. She was being beaten, and they needed to act fast. Kelly now knew which room they were in, and she also noticed it had to doors to it. She pointed to Sandra to cover one of the doors, as she walked over to the other. When she saw Sandra was in place, she went into action.
"Freeze! Nobody moves!" Kelly snapped as she kicked the door open to the room.
Michael was standing with his hand raised towards Janet, her head was hanging down towards her chest. Kelly sent a look at Janet as she saw her and Janet jerked her head up. She had dried blood all over her face, it had been seeping out from a deep graze by her temple. She looked exhausted, and relieved for about a second before she opened her eyes in panic.
And that was all Kelly managed to think before everything turned black.
