"Steve, listen to me okay, Leena said she was taken. We can find her, bring her home" he was still kneeling. Silent tears still falling as Myka tried to get him to stand, he didn't move not even to let the fire crew past. Pete was also trying to get through to the silent Leena. "Leena is there anything you can remember did they say anything, Have any tattoos, scars anything, Hey auras Leena, did you see there auras". Leena looked in to Pete before she closing her eyes.
"We'd just finished watching a film when there was a loud band, Next thing they just burst through the door and started to wreck the place. We just ran Pete. That's when they started to shout. "Claudia come out come out were ever you are we won't hurt you yet" over and over .After a while they went quiet, I'd though they had left so I went to check on Claudia and then it happened. So fast, they came charging up the stairs they grab me before I could get to Claudia and tell her to lock herself in her room. They tied and gag me I couldn't fight back they were too strong , that's when the youngest of the three men, kicked her door down she put up a fight .I could hear grunting and murmurs coming from the man and the smashing of the lamps ,then the windows, then silence, I got so scared , though the silence only stayed for a couple of minutes , I didn't know what had happened but he dragged her out of the room tied up and gaged like me ,he had a bloody nose and a large gash on his forehead she looked unhurt, that's all I can remember Pete ,before everything went black. Pete there Auras was full of anger they aren't gentile, kind people Pete they will kill her. What have I done" He hugged the now crying Leena. "Leena you tried your best, they were just too strong, they knew what they were after. How is that your fault?" he said when she calm down "Pete I gave them are address. There called the Crimsons" Pete sighed it wasn't her fault they do live in a B&B. Well used to.
Myka came over and tapped Pete on his shoulder "he's just like, Claudia was,when we found Steve. I can't get him to move, he's just sitting there. I think, he thinks she's dead…..Pete what are we going to do?" Pete looked in to the directions of the kneeling agent "Leena says Claudia was taken by a group called the Crimsons, she said they asked for a room" Myka turned too "So they want us to find them. Why? And what for?" Myka looked at the B&B which was still burning. "I have an idea, Pete you take Artie and Leena to the warehouse, tell them to wait for us there, after you have done that will meet up I don't know where yet" she patted Leena arms as a sign of sympathy,Myka tried again to get through to the younger agent while Pete looked on "Steve. Claudia was taken by a group you may know, we need you to tell us if you do, where they might hang out at or where they would take her. Steve where would the Crimsons go, Steve please help us. Save Claudia"
The memories flashed back the crimsons a family of crime, the mother convicted of stealing and selling children on the black market. There only daughter killed by a gang at the aged of 17 the two brothers 28 and 26 convicted of killing over twenty people between them, aged from 16 to 89, the father, the main man the leader the boss, he had contacts which included assassins, drug lords and dirty cops. The last time he heard of them, they was in New York when they got caught up worst shooting of New York's history, of course it was covered up. To be Gangs fighting for drugs.
They would never travel far with Claudia. They'll be somewhere close so they can get what they want fast and can easily get rid of their lose ends, maybe a closed down building, or train station nobody will look there. So where's the closest shutdown building in Univille. "There at the town hall" he whispered in to his hands while wiping away the tears. "There at the town hall" he repeated louder. This time the group heard him. "what Univille town hall?" Pete asked turning around to face him. "Yes they won't go far they never do, until they get what they want" he replied getting up and walking to the car. "Well what do they want" asked Myka "Me. they want me because I stopped one of the largest drug shipment from reaching the shores of New York. I didn't get the credit as I was a rookie. But I cost them billions. And they know that ,they always have .Now they want revenge"
"Steve you can't just give yourself up, they'll kill you" said Myka .Steve stopped to pick up the car keys that were lying in the gravel and sore the key ring which Claudia had made in to a light, since Artie kept on miss placing them in the dark. He smiled at the memory and sighed before answering. "well it's better than letting them kill Claudia"
With that he climbed in to the car and drove to the town hall 3 times over the speed limit .When reached the centre of Univille, he came face to face with the Crimsons. Carlos Crimson and his two sons Wesley and Arthur Crimson, both wearing white suits with a black shirt underneath but eldest son Wesley had fresh wet red smudges on his right sleeve…. blood
"Hello Steven" spoke Carlos a 50 year old man with grey hair and an over grown stomach. "CARLOS where is she, where's my partner" spoke a provoked Steve. "Let's just say Claudia's gone to see her mommy and Daddy" he followed that by lighting a cigar, them turning and walking back in to the abandon town hall to sit in his chair. "I'm going to get her back Carlos wherever you like it or not" declared Steve.
Carlos stopped, "Tell me this…. Agent Steve Jinks…. can you bring back the dead?"
