The Mission
The Oakridge industrial district was silent at night. Rows of massive warehouses stretched endlessly beneath the dull glow of scattered streetlights.Jasper’s SUV slowed to a stop two blocks away from the target building, forcing the team members to slow down as well. The warehouse in front of them looked ordinary.But Jasper was sure. The system confirmed it. Tiger turned off the engine and looked back at Jasper.“That’s the one.” Jasper nodded. Beside him, Bai Zhe leaned forward in his seat and squinted through the windshield.“Looks quiet,” he muttered.He was excited about this mission. He hasn't had the opportunity to have such fights since Jasper left of Silverlake.“Not quiet,” Jasper corrected. “Just careful.”“There are six cameras covering the perimeter. Two more at the loading docks. Motion sensors at the rear entrance.” Jasper heard Jackson spoke over the earplugs. Bai Zhe, who also had one plugged in, smirked. “So they’re expecting visitors.”Jasper opened the door
Rare
Jasper stood quietly on a hotel's balcony in Silverlake.Just the day before he sent Elise a message to meet up with him. Elise promised to be there on time. Both hands gripped the rail before him. Sophia was still missing. There's been no clue yet. No one was saying anything. The kidnappers were calling. His system has been silent.And worst of all, Bai Zhe's statement has been in his heart of hearts.Again and again, he questioned himself. Was Sophia still alive? Is she alright? He has flown down to Silverlake from Oakridge just to have this meeting with Elise. He hasn't slept a wink nor has he eaten anything since he heard of Sophia's kidnapping. “Sophia, what were you researching on?" He wondered. The sound of heels against marble interrupted his thoughts.Jasper didn’t need to turn to know who had arrived. He saw her when she came down from her car from up there. Elise Valmont. She stepped into the balcony like she owned the entire building.Her long dark coat flowed behind
Dead ends
Night had already settled over Oakridge. All clues led to dead ends. Jasper sat down in the car across the main road, watching cars move to and fro, their headlights forming endless glowing lines. But inside the car, the atmosphere was heavy with quiet tension. The events of the day replayed in Jasper’s mind again and again.Sophia’s kidnapping.The destroyed USB.Detective Diamond’s death.And the message left behind.Jasper Brennan.Someone wanted him involved.Jasper leaned back slightly in the chair and picked up his phone. He dialed Rowan's number.The call connected after only two rings.“Sir,” Rowan’s familiar voice came through the line. “How are things over there?” Jasper asked.“It is stable for now." Rowan narrated, “But the elders have called for a meeting at the Brennan's Estate. They are not happy about the sudden movement." “It's none of their business now I travel." Jasper said. Rowan paused for a while, then, “News travels fast, sir." “What do you mean?” "News
Detective Diamond
Jasper's mind moved quickly as he continued to analyzing the situation. This wasn’t random.The kidnappers had moved too efficiently. They knew exactly where and when to strike.Which meant they had been watching Sophia.Watching her for days.Maybe longer.A slow anger began building in his chest.He replayed the footage.Again.And again.Each time, his eyes focused on different details.The way the vehicle approached. The speed at which the men exited. The precision of their movements.No hesitation. No wasted motion.Professionals.“Start investigating Sophia’s family.” Jasper said to Tiger. Jasmine blinked, “The family? Again?”She knew the family were involved in the accident last time and damaged her legs. Thanks to Jasper she could walk again. “Yes and find the car.”Tiger nodded immediately. “We’re already running the license plate through several databases. But the number looks fake.”Jasper’s jaw tightened.“Of course it is.”He turned toward the security team.“Check eve
Sophia's missing
Jasper’s private jet touched down quietly at Oakridge Airport just before noon.The moment the cabin door opened, the familiar scent of the city drifted in with the wind. Oakridge looked the same as it always had—crowded streets, aging buildings, and a skyline that could never compete with Silverlake’s towering glass giants.It had been months since he last returned.And he was no longer the same man who had left. His mission for leaving Oakridge for Silverlake was accomplished and more. He knows his last name now. Brennan.A convoy were already waiting on the runway.Tiger rushed towards Jasper. His eyes twinkled like a child. He was excited to see Jasper again. He earlier went with Jasper to Silverlake, but Jasper sent him back to Oakridge to carry out some assignments. He did that promptly, yet Jasper had asked him to remain in Oakridge. His arrest. His new identity as the only son of the Brennan family. His engagement to Elise Valmont, he had also heard, but there was no way h
Back to Old
Three months and Jasper’s name hasn't left the top of the world's wealth rankings.In a high extravagant building, walls made of glass and floor of marbles sat a man in his late thirties. The office was silent, a stack of books filled the shelf, a hot cup of coffee laid on his desk.Jasper’s eyes scanned through the stack of financial reports when his phone suddenly rang.He picked up his phone and with the corner of his eyes, saw the caller ID. He lifted a brow before answering. “Jasmine?” he called. It's been a long time since he heard from any of them. It was a big surprise that she had called now. Her voice sounded tense.“Jasper… Sophia is missing.”He blinked. Once. “What do you mean missing?” Jasper asked with a deep frown.“She hasn't been seen for two weeks,” Jasmine said. “Her apartment is empty. Her phones are off. No one has heard from her.”A dangerous silence filled the room.Two weeks.If Sophia had disappeared for even two days, someone would have reported it.But
