Los Angeles Legendary Sleuth

"I don't know, it's not up to me."

Luke probed, "What if the police decide to storm your hideout to rescue the little girl?"

Rider Kramer hesitated for a moment and said, "Better not. The little girl will definitely be used as a hostage. If my accomplices die, she'll die too."

"Then what do you think would be the best way to rescue the little girl?"

Rider Kramer replied, "The best method is to find Enco Dumate. We just want to get our money back, that's all.

Let Enco Dumate pay back the money, and we'll naturally release his daughter."

David shouted, "Bullshit!

Don't use that nonsense to trick people. Even if Enco Dumate pays the money back, you wouldn't let him off easily. You'll definitely give him a harsh lesson, and might even kill him.

I know you scumbags too well."

"Wo wo..." Just then, David's phone rang.

David pressed the answer button, "Hello, it's me.

What? Lost them.

What are you two idiots doing?

You're both dead, I'm telling you." David hung up the phone, helplessly saying, "They lost the target."

Luke asked back, "Were they discovered?"

"Probably not, they're just afraid of being discovered, so they're not daring to follow too closely.

Moreover, that group is very strong in counter-surveillance..." David was somewhat helpless.

Luke looked at Rider Kramer again, "Are you sure the little girl was taken to Davilar Community?"

Rider Kramer replied feebly, "Yes, that's how we planned it."

"Tell me about your subsequent plan."

"Our task is to watch Enco Dumate's wife, wait for Enco Dumate to come home, and make him get money to redeem his daughter.

At that time, I'll contact our boss."

"What's your boss's name?"

"Adel Owen."

"Where is he now?"

"He left with the little girl."

"What's his phone number?"

"I don't remember clearly, the contact note on my phone is boss."

"You contact him using this number?"

"Yes."

"Good." Luke put handcuffs on him.

Meanwhile, sirens sounded outside.

Luke wanted to handle it quietly; after all, he's afraid of alerting the remaining kidnappers.

But there was a gunfight in the house, the neighbors around surely heard it, just hope that gang doesn't have other informants here.

David and Luke reunited, took off their bulletproof vests, "Check my back."

Luke lifted his shirt, there was a bruise on the right back side, "Fortunately, it's not too serious. Later, you can find a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to help you massage, it'll heal faster."

Traditional Chinese medicine is not just visited by Chinese in America, things like acupuncture and massage are quite popular in America, many foreigners undergo similar treatments, especially in more dangerous and injury-prone fields like military and police.

"Take some painkillers first." David put his clothes back on, moved slowly, "What's the plan next?"

"Rider Kramer voluntarily disclosed that their hideout is in Davilar Community, the probability of him lying is low.

But whether his boss Adel Owen lied to him is uncertain.

So we need to make two preparations: have the tech team locate Adel Owen's phone, confirm if he is in Davilar Community.

The little girl should be with him.

Also, call for SWAT support, let them handle the assault mission.

You monitor the scene.

I estimate Reid, the Chief, might go at that time too."

The detective's duty focuses more on investigation; Luke found the kidnappers' hideout, no one can take away this credit, let SWAT handle the rough work.

David asked back, "What about you? Not going together?"

"I'm going to find Enco Dumate.

Since he caused this trouble, he has to come forward to solve it. With him, the chances of rescuing the hostage would be higher."

David asked back, "Do you know where he is?"

"No, but someone does."
