She is the one by Asheslove (book recommendations for young adults txt) 📕

I don't realize how long it takes and when and where we landed. All the way I was silent lost in my own world.

Once we reached uncle David told me I have to stay at hotel for the night and tomorrow he will take me to my parents.

I was happy that finally I am going to unite with my family but Nicolas fear keep awakening me, still the happiness to meet my parents and Alex is far more than his fear.

Police guards were alloted around the hotel for protection if anything goes wrong.

Uncle David gave me keys of one of the room at hotel and left for some work telling he's going to return soon.

Uncle David is the closest, known and most believable person to me at the moment so I had no other option but to put all my trust and faith in him. He's like a fatherly figure to me and I know there's no way he put me in any such situation which brought me harm till he handed me to my father safely, afterall he's also dad's friend.

After he left I took a long relaxing shower trying to drain my thoughts of Nicolas and what happened before and when I was done I put my old cloths back and looked out at the lightning huge city from the big window.

I don't know how long I spend time standing in front of window but I was sure my thoughts were intrupted by the knock on door.

I opened the gate and uncle David came to my view. He asked whether I have dinner or not and I told him I don't have any appetite and after that he took me for investigation.

It's fair and there's no point of objection, I very well know how system works and that I am going to be interrogated.

The room he took me in looks nothing like an ordinary room abd once I took the seat he told me he's coming in a minute and left the room.

Their were computers, laptops, phones and papers spread with many other devices which I don't even recognize.

One side of wall is completely filled with bulletin board with pictures of Nicolas men on him circled by red marker with picture of Nicolas on the top. One by one I recognized every face. In Edward photo his face was covered with mask but I don't need to get a full view of his face to recognize him.

Their is another board with photos of Dimitri, that English man who kidnapped me and few more.

Cops certainly laid a long plan to rescue me and my family but their are still many things which are in shade.

'So you ok' he asked first returning inside and taking a seat in my front before starting his investigation.

'Can't be better' I replied with a small smile.

'What about my family? Is my family safe?' I asked.

'Yes, they are secure and safe. I informed your parents about you, you can meet them tomorrow'. He told me smiling.

The interrogation started and uncle David placed photos of each of them in front of me and started asking me questions since I have been with Nicolas and between them for so long, so that he could get any clue from me to catch Nicolas as he escaped from under their nose.

Even without Nicolas with us I was scared to go against him and refused to open my mouth to let the cops get any useful information from me.

I told him that I've been held captive by him in his huge mansion and was not allowed to leave it in any condition. I kept my mouth sealed on his business when I was around.

Uncle David was not satisfied with my answers but still he didn't push me much.

After a trail of questions and hearing my replies he placed a photo in front of me and I instantly recognized the man in the picture. It was the picture of the man who kidnapped me before when I was with Nicolas. 

He asked whether I knew him and seen him when I was with Nicolas and my curiosity increased.

'Who is he?' I asked taking the photo in my hand.

'Eric Wilson, he's selected as the new Mayor of Newyork' and this information ringed the bell in my head both in shock and recognition.

I saw this face in news 

The first time when I saw him I found his face familer and now it explains it very much. I saw his face in news giving speech.

'Everybody knows he's a cut throat and unscrupulous politician with a criminal background too and we feared it involves Nicolas too'

'Our sources find out he's been missing from few days' he added and I certainly know he's in Nicolas hands either alive or dead.

'Then what it has to do with me?' I asked calmly placing the photo back on the table. 

It's a different fact that I never showed interest in my fathers work but being a daughter of police inspector I very well know how police investigation and their manipulation works.

This all is going somewhere else.

He gave me one more photo saying 'This was his son'.

He told and I looked at the photo carefully.

'Found dead approx four and half months ago in LA, just near your kidnapping'. 

He said and it won't take me long to recognize the face which I'd seen in the bar the last day of my normal life and after which things go downhill but still I don't see any connection of his death with me. I was sure about it but it surely gave me clear picture of all what happened back their when I was with Nicolas.

This case is not just about to save me and family, many others are involved and I reliazed the roots of this case are deeper than I thought. Police has their heads deep buried in this case to capture Nicolas too.

'And I am sure its him who is behind it' he said.

'I don't know about anything uncle, I'd already told you all what I know. This, these pictures all are unfamiliar to me, I've no connection with any of these' I said giving him the photo back and releasing a sigh scratching his forehead he nodded his head.

'I think I pushed you way too much' he said patting my hand from over the desk.

'Even after knowing you had few very rough days from past few months Elena. I can imagine what you've been through with that bastard'.
