"Shut up here?! You will live my life, if you are caught by me daring to try to get out you will know the consequences. You want me to be the second Mr Adrianno Gianni? There are three men here who will serve you beautiful..." A man who appeared to be the leader of the kidnapper's group patted her in the face.
Valentina was terrified to hear the threat. Three men disguised as maintenance apartments suddenly ambushed him, when he was trying to send a message to his brother when he heard a knock on the door. And the next five minutes his phone was already a shred on the floor of his apartment. The trauma in Monaco still looms in his mind and he doesn't dare to imagine going through the same incident again.
The three men threatened him easily, he could not even shout when they put him in a small box, put it in a closed van and it ended up in a plaster of his mouth and tied up in a dark minivan for six hours later and reached this remote cabin.
"I'm telling you sweet, this house is secluded from anywhere. If you dare to run, you'll get lost in the woods by yourself. If we don't find you you'll have a more tragic fate of starving to death in the woods. Understood?!"
"Yes I'm not going to run away." Valentina nodded quickly. He'll be nice, if he dies for sure his brother and his father will blame themselves. Her brother had just been shot and now that she was kidnapped, she thought that her brother who had not recovered would increase the burden of his mind and interfere with his healing.
"Good, your room already has a bathroom, you just have to stay there and not cause a fuss." The room was quite decent, although the house was not so big, but it seems that they gave the room that had a bathroom for the girl. However, they were told to make sure the girl was alive and held hostage.
Valentina won't try to escape. He believed his brother-in-law must have had a way to find him. Previously, he was able to escape from Gianni thanks to the help of his sister-in-law's friend. They must have a way to find him here. He just had to be patient and survive to be able to meet his family again.
She's actually not too far from New York, having been kidnapped from her apartment now she's in a remote log cabin on Vermont's Green Mountain six hours drive from NYC.
"We should be safe here. At most we only need to go out once every two weeks to buy food supplies. You found an ideal hiding place. The girl was afraid she would not dare to run away. We even seem to be fishing in the river over there. There's a lot of wild game animals in there, so maybe we can save on groceries."
"You're right, it's an easy job with a big paycheck."
And a team at the FBI is now getting very excited about getting a project with this fun incentive.
Within 24 hours of receiving the case files they quickly managed to determine how the kidnappers had kidnapped Valentina. The kidnapper's movements were recorded on surveillance cameras. They identified the car they were using to move Valentina. One of the kidnappers was able to identify his full identity. In the next 36 hours they managed to trace that this car was heading to Vermont, but the rudders lost track once it entered the area with sparse occupants.
"They must be in a remote area. There are many remote cabins in the area. But they don't seem to change cars. They should buy supplies to survive in the cabin, sooner or later we'll find them in this area. We should join the Vermont sheriff now, those who know their area better..." The team head immediately determined how they would act.
They arrived in Vermont on the fourth day after the abduction and teamed up with the local sheriff to spread a sketch of the three perpetrators for the rest of the day, to the shops where the camper is likely to buy food and survive in the area which is also a tourist location. Ask and remind them to call the police if they find the same car or person.
One person with the photo is clear because it has been identified along with the perpetrator's car. Although they finally knew the license plate was a fake, but the type of car was known. Sooner or later they will come out.
"Sheriff's gone to the most remote store spreading our sketches. They turned off the phone altogether. Careful enough, maybe they're trained. One person we identified has a history of police training in Italy."
"They're going to buy supplies sooner or later, plus now it's not the holiday season, few people are on vacation, the three of them are going to be fast, we should be getting something soon, it won't be long...."
While the FBI notified the latest developments of the investigation to the families of the victims who incentivized them, a new incentive was given 30% if they succeeded 70% of it would slide soon. Plus they added a USD 5,000 reward to the whistleblower to provide valuable information.
"Relax Miss, if things are like that there, we can make sure your sister is still alive. You have to endure not making any moves that allow them to threaten you. While the trial is still not running. We're here on the phone reminding everyone who received the flyer to be careful about seeing their guests. Surely they'll need to buy food supplies."
"I'm waiting for the good news sir. Please find my sister."
"Surely Mam, we will try to do our best for you. Don't worry."
Eliza slightly sighed in relief hearing their investigator's explanation. He must wait for the good news. While Gianni also has not done any movement.
"You have to be patient they'll find it. Nothing bad will happen. If you get sick it won't be good." Now Bova is calming her lover's worries.
"Thank you, I don't know how I got through this without you. Somehow I can get back at this..." Eliza hugs Bova.
"We're family, we don't leave each other. Promise me you'll eat well, Marriane reports you'll eat little, if you don't get well soon how you'll meet Valentina, let's go to NY and visit her there..." Bova tried to make her lover was not too affected by the situation.
"Good, he'll be fine. Put that in your head. We've done our best here."
"After this let's make a deal with Gianni, as long as no one gets hurt anymore and we can move on with each of our lives."
"After this is done, Gianni will pay the deal dearly. He's been too far trying now. We're gonna finish this." Fabricio Bova remains optimistic they can win, still enough time to finish this.
Vittorio Bova and Allesio Gianni meet face to face at an event. This time it was Gianni who dared to greet him first.
"How are you Mr Bova?"
"Ohhh Mr. Gianni, well of course. You also look good." Vittorio Bova did not want to show signs of pressure to his opponent.
"I'm good of course, much better these few days." Gianni smiled slightly. He was very confident he would be able to get his son the minimum punishment.
"What makes you so much better?" Vittorio Bova invited him to make small talk.
"Well it may be a wish that things will pass better, my lawyer said some good news. Of course it's fun for me... Two more weeks of the first scheduled hearing have been set, it feels like we want to end the case immediately." Gianni said something implied of course.both sides both feel holding an ace.
Gianni feels he can hold Eliza's sister until the trial and is optimistic she will be able to impose a minimum sentence, while Bova's side feel they can get Valentina back before the trial. Depending on who wins, time will soon open up which side eventually wins.
"It's good that being optimistic is necessary." Vittorio Bova replied with a smile.
"I'm sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations yesterday about the project in Palermo." Gianni is trying to heat it up. Where could he possibly hand such a big project gamble to his opponent.
"Nothing is also more happy to compete in a healthy way, the winner of the tender has not been determined. It's just that I sometimes like shortcuts if I can." Vitetorio Bova chuckled.
"You're right I also like shortcuts." What Gianni means now is that his success kidnapping Valentina in NY is that he won his shortcut.
"Hmm no doubt, sometimes there are risky shortcuts, hopefully you don't get lost in the deep puddles of that shortcut." But if Bova can find Eliza before the hearing, then Gianni will certainly pay very expensive.
It could be that Allesio Giamni will also be dragged into a cell if they can get a damning confession from his captor.
"Ohh I've taken a good account of my shortcuts thank you for your advice. I'd also have to say you better be careful with your path."
Who can expect police work, just the same. He knows the Bova family is asking for help to find Valentina, but the person he paid knows how to get rid of himself. At least five days from now the police have not been able to find anything. The report of the people in the ministry who were overseeing the case said something like that.
But what he doesn't know is Fabricio Bova could even reach FBI insiders directly through Nathan even less than 24 hours after the kidnapping. He does not deal with state police whose jurisdiction is limited. They have also determined the location where Valentina was detained within 36 hours of her abduction.
"Your suggestions will be my acceptance, thank you." Vittorio Bova let him feel victorious this time around. Other times it will be seen who the real winner of the bet this time.
"Then I will greet another guest Mr. Bova. Maybe we'll talk again soon." He walked away from Vittorio Bova.
"Sulacred. Sure, we'll talk again." Next time they speak, you'll beg to be saved. Because only I have the power to do that. Vittorio Bova will make them pay many times over from a project in Palermo.
And it will happen sooner or later.
