William was a bit surprised that Bryan Mills was calling him.
Their mission to protect Ambrosio was over, so why was he calling him now?
After answering the call, William heard Bryan's anxious voice, "Boss, are you in London?
I need your help."
"What happened?" William asked, puzzled.
"Yes, Boss, my daughter and her sister have gone missing in France.
I received a call from Kimmy saying that someone broke into her and her sister's residence.
Someone kidnapped Kimmy and her sister.
Kimmy hid under the bed and called me.
I recorded the conversation with Kimmy.
According to the information Kimmy gave, it must be Albanians.
They have moon and sun tattoos on their hands, just like the people who attacked Miss Ambrosio in Miami last time.
I suspect these people are retaliating against us," Bryan said quickly.
Retaliation?
Why would Albanians retaliate against Bryan's daughter?
However, if it was true as Bryan said, then his daughter was implicated because of William, so William immediately said, "No problem, I'm going to Paris now.
What do you need me to do, and how long has Kimmy been missing?"
"An hour.
William, help me find Kimmy.
Sam and I can't go to Europe now.
You should know what happened in our country.
All of us former special agents who dealt with overseas affairs are restricted from leaving the country, awaiting investigation.
Even if we secretly left the country, we wouldn't be able to reach France within 24 hours.
I can only ask for your help now."
It seemed the White Palace attack yesterday had greatly angered the Americans, even their own people were under investigation.
"Okay, leave it to me."
At this moment, Sam's voice came from the phone, "William, you only have 95 hours.
After that time, the Albanians will sell them, and Kimmy and her sister will be lost forever.
I'll send you our information shortly.
Please, William."
"William, please help me find Kimmy.
I'll reach out to my old friends and contacts from my time as an agent.
After you go to Paris, you can find someone named Claude.
He and I have had many dealings before.
I'll call him for help."
"Okay, I'll arrive in Paris in about 3 hours.
Wait for my news, Bryan."
After hanging up, William checked the equipment in his storage space, then got into the hotel car and left.
On the Eurostar, William listened to the recording of Kimmy's call that Bryan sent him.
In the call, Kimmy cried and told Bryan that someone had broken into her and her sister Amanda's residence and taken Amanda away.
Bryan asked Kimmy if they had met any suspicious people on the plane, and Kimmy said no, but at the airport, she and Amanda met a young man named Pete, who shared a ride with them to their residence before leaving.
William listened in his headphones as Kimmy cried, saying the kidnappers had come for her and she was very scared.
Bryan told Kimmy to hide under the bed and instructed her to hold her phone and loudly shout everything she saw while hiding under the bed.
"Dad, they're coming for me," Kimmy whispered fearfully, her voice choked with sobs.
Bryan's voice came through the recording, "Listen, Kimmy, this part is very important."
Bryan paused painfully for 2 seconds, then continued, "They will come in and find you, and take you away, but pay attention, baby, what I'm saying now is the most crucial part.
You have 5 to 10 seconds, the most critical time.
Put your phone under the bed, concentrate, and shout out everything you see: skin color, eye color, height, any special features, scars, baldness, anything you see, understand?"
Kimmy cried for a few seconds then said, "Understood, Dad."
Soon, footsteps came through the recording, followed by the voices of several men.
William couldn't understand what they were saying, when suddenly a piercing scream came through his headphones.
He heard Kimmy shout loudly: "Beard, six feet tall, with moon and sun tattoos on his hand!"
Then Kimmy's voice faded, apparently muffled and dragged out of the room.
After more than ten seconds, the sound of someone picking up Kimmy's phone came through.
After a few seconds of silence in the recording, Bryan's calm yet gloomy voice came through, "I don't know who you are, and I don't know what you want.
If you want a ransom, I can give it to you.
I have 1 million US dollars in cash right now, and I can give it all to you, as long as you release my daughter."
They had made a lot of money from William recently.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed surprised by Bryan's offer of 1 million US dollars and remained silent for a few seconds.
Bryan quickly said, "Tell me a bank account number, and I'll transfer the 1 million to you right now, just please let my daughter go."
"No," a hoarse voice came from the phone, and then he tried to hang up.
Bryan quickly said, "Wait, wait, if you don't feel safe, I can give you a Swiss bank account password.
You can get that 1 million US dollars from the Swiss bank with the password."
"No," the person on the other end still refused, unmoved.
Bryan suppressed his anger and said, "Release my daughter, and I'll give you the money, cash."
A gloating laugh came from the other end of the phone, "No, I can still get money by selling your daughter.
I just love watching you rich Americans cry and suffer.
I love seeing you in agony."
Bryan was provoked by this guy's cruelty and said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what grudge you have against us, but I'm telling you, with my decades of experience in special professions, I know many ways to make you fear, and I know many people who work in special professions.
If you release my daughter now, I'll pretend nothing happened.
I'll still give you the money.
If not, I will investigate you, I will find you, and finally, I will find you and kill all of you."
"Heh heh, good luck," the sound of the phone being slammed down came through the recording.
Finally, Bryan's voice came through the recording, "William, I beg you to help me get Kimmy back.
I will repay this favor with my life.
If you can, William, help me kill all those guys.
I will use all my connections to protect you.
I swear to God, no matter what you do, I guarantee you will be safe.
I just want my daughter back in America safely."
William couldn't help but shiver upon hearing Bryan's gritted teeth, "God, these kidnappers have really angered this old man, Bryan."
At this moment, William's phone rang.
After answering, Sam's voice came through, "William, I found something useful.
This group of people are from the border area between northern Albania and several other countries.
That place is a no-man's-land, a gathering place for scumbags.
The person Bryan spoke with should be named Mark, the son of their tribal chief.
He went to Paris six months ago and is the leader of this group.
This organization specializes in human trafficking, transporting women to Europe, where they get the girls addicted to drugs and then force them into prostitution.
However, recently, this group found a more lucrative method: directly kidnapping young female tourists at airports in major European cities, which saves a lot of transportation costs.
William, you still have 93 hours.
Time is tight.
Call me anytime if you have any questions.
Good luck, William."
