"So your boss wants my son. Well guess what..." said Jannet before pausing.
"What?"
"My son will come here and kill you all" she stated confidently.
Initially, they thought that she was joking, but her face was serious and they didn't know who her son was, so couldn't tell if he really could kill them.
The leader of the kidnappers refuted, "With you as a hostage, he won't be killing anybody".
However, it was clear that he had become slightly scared by Jannet's threat and it also made the rest of the kidnappers nervous.
After that, Jannet closed her eyes and despite being tied up, sat there comfortably as she awaited her son to come and save her. She completely believed in Adam and although she knew that he wasn't invincible, it made it easier for Jannet to deal with the situation and also scared her kidnappers.
"Don't listen to her, no one can kill us. We have taken our phone and are in a secret location, so we are safe. After we get paid, we will leave this country and live a life of luxury" reassured the leader of the kidnappers.
"Yeah. No one will kill us, and if you say that again, we will kill you" added one of the burly men.
"I need to save her, but she is so confident that Adam will be here to kill them. She has angered them and they might harm her, so I need to act now. Even if I get into trouble, I can use this opportunity to ask her some questions about her son as she seems to know that he has killed and could know about what his cultivation is like and what he is involved in" mumbled Angela to herself as she decided to act against her orders.
Walking as quietly as she could, Angela approached the 5 men who stood around Jannet who was tied up to a chair and aimed her gun towards them.
They didn't seem to be armed, but Angela Valdez couldn't take that risk and if Jannet died, who knew what Adam would do, so Jannet's safety was her priority.
Becuase of that, she had the safety of her gun and her finger on the trigger, ready to fire at the 5 kidnappers at any moment.
Even against one of the men in a fight, she would struggle, let alone all 5 of them, so her best chance was to shoot them all once.
Creeping towards them, Angela suddenly fired her gun 5 times consecutively and her aim was very accurate as she shot all 5 of them on one of their legs.
She had tried her best not to give them fatal wounds but she could if she wanted to. That was because it was within her right as a detective, that had witnessed them commit a crime and hold a hostage, to shoot them.
The 5 of them began to howl in pain while Jannet opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Adam", expecting that it was her son that had saved her.
However, when she opened her eyes, she saw quite a beautiful female that was wearing a plain jumper and trousers, that although were loose, still showed her voluptuous figure.
"Who are you?" she asked, slightly disappointed that it wasn't Adam.
"I am Angela Valdez, NYPD Detective. All 5 of you criminals are under arrest for the crime of kidnapping. This is the crime of moving another person a substantial distance, without the person's consent, by means of force or fear and I can testify that you did do so." answered Angela.
"You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney and if you cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for you. If you waive these rights and talk to us, anything you say may be used against you in court" as she approached the 5 men that were on the floor.
Despite shooting them in the leg, Angela was still being careful as she knew that although it was painful, it didn't make someone unable to move and fight back and Angela didn't have 5 sets of handcuffs, so it was more important for her to get Jannet away.
"Crawl 5 metres away from the hostage then lay still and put pressure on your wounds. If you do not follow my instruction, I will fire again and it will be that you are resisting arrest" instructed Angela as she kept her distance from them.
They did as she said and after they were 5 metres away from Jannet, she quickly untied her and pulled her away before the 5 of them could try and take her down while she was untying Jannet.
"Are you hurt in any way? Do you require medical attention?" asked Angela.
Jannet shook her head and stood beside Angela silently as everything that had happened began to play itself back in her mind. The comfort she felt with the man before he kidnapped her with his friends and tied her up just so that they could get her son to do things for them.
The warehouse was silent and suddenly a phone began to ring and Jannet recognised the ringtone as that of her own phone that Adam had given to her.
"It must be Adam" she exclaimed as she rushed over to the man that had tricked her and had taken her phone off her after taking her into the van.
Angela sighed and ran after Jannet to make sure that he didn't resist or try anything, which he didn't as he was too busy writhing in pain and trying to stop the bleeding from the wound in his leg.
Seeing who was calling her, Jannet smiled and answered the phone as Angela dragged her away from the 5 men that could still pose them a threat.
The 5 men that had kidnapped Jannet no longer cared about what happened and tried to crawl away and hide, but Angela was watching over them like a hawk while Jannet answered the phone.
