"We got out and just in time." Alexi announced over the phone. It didn't take them as long as he had expected to move.

It wasn't an easy task moving such a high profile inmate like Lucius Ting, but somehow Alexi and the others had managed to do it at an incredible speed.

"You were right to say there was a plan to get him out, we're lucky you called, had you not I'm sure there would have been casualties." Alexi told Cedric, making him feel tense at the news that the pair he had seen in the park had every intention of harming others.

"How did you know that there could have been casualties?" Cedric asked his friend.

"We arrested two individuals." Alexi explained over the phone. "A man and a woman, they were heavily armed and by the looks of it they had no plans of leaving without Lucius Ting."

Cedric nodded, knowing that the man and woman Alexi was referring to were Bella and her companion.

"How did you manage to arrest them?" Cedric asked. If the two were heavily armed then just taking them alive was dangerous.

"That's where things get tricky." Alexi said as he hesitated to tell Cedric the news.

"What's wrong, Alexi?" Cedric asked as he sensed his friend's hesitation.

"We did catch them, and trap them, but there is still a high risk since we did it through unconventional means." Alexi slowly explained.

"How?" Cedric asked, he was eager to find out how capturing someone that could harm more people had gotten Alexi anxious.

"We trapped them in the room where we were supposed to be." Alexi explained. "They are in there, but they are also armed, and by the looks of it they are also very dangerous people."

Cedric frowned at the news.

"Is there no safe way to take their weapons and move them to a more secure facility?" Cedric asked as he considered the situation.

"Well, for starters I doubt we could move them somewhere more secure, but it would be nice to get them as far away from where their accomplices would think they are at." Alexi pointed out.

"They work with the Rajas." Cedric calmly explained. "I stumbled on to them when I was on my way to the pick up point."

"We are lucky you overheard them then." Alexi said as he praised Cedric's luck.

"Have you asked Seth or Ray if there is some way for us to find out if they have back up?" Cedric asked his friend, worried about the predicament they were in.

"They are doing their best, pulling every resource they can spare, but Cedric, the Dean Family mansion was also attacked today. The Rajas know that you have people in the underworld working with you." Alexi explained.

Cedric sighed and leaned back on his chair, they needed to end this, the longer the Rajas remained at large the more dangerous it would be for everyone.

"Do you think your new friends, the Esteves Family, could help us?" Alexi asked, pulling Cedric back from his thoughts.

"They said they would assist us, but I'm not sure if this problems with the Rajas will get them to move." Cedric told Alexi as he considered calling the Esteves Family. "But, the Rajas are one of the reasons why we cannot send Lucius Ting to them."

"That should be more than enough reason for them to come to our aid." Alexi told Cedric as Cedric silently agreed with him.

"How is your dad holding up?" Cedric asked his friend.

In the past few weeks, Alexi and his father, the president, had been trying to smoke out those members of the government that either belonged to the Rajas or who were under their payroll.

It was a difficult task to do since it seemed that most of those people have been hiding in plain sight for years, some having been there for decades even.

Many of those whom they suspected were already high ranking officials and people who had gained the trust of their subordinates as well as their colleagues.

"Dad has been frustrated a lot." Alexi said with a defeated tone. "It seemed that there are people who he trusted that are either part of the Rajas or are working for them. Your dad is with him now, they are trying to figure things out."

"I'll visit them later." Cedric nodded as he looked at the time. It was already getting late and he needed to move them out of that police station and to a more secure location.

"Cedric, isn't Adrianna due to give birth soon?" Alexi asked.

Cedric frowned at his friend's reminder, of course he was right, and Cedric was rushing this whole mess with Lucius Ting so that he could be confident that his family was safe when Adrianna gave birth.

He wanted his twins born into a better world, a safer one, but if he couldn't do that, then he could at least secure the place they were to be born at, and the capital was not that place.

"I plan to have Adrianna, Yoyo, and some of my relatives fly out to Kashmere in the next few days." Cedric explained. "I want her to be as far away from all of this when she brings the twins into the world."

"I think that's the best course of action you can take right now." Alexi said as he agreed with Cedric.

"For now we need to find out what the Rajas are planning, the girl, her name is Bella, I heard the man call her that, see if she will talk." Cedric informed Alexi. "I'll try to find a way to move you all out of there without raising any suspicions."

"Thanks, Cedric." Alexi said over the phone before dropping the call.

Cedric already had a plan in mind, it was one that seemed to be extremely simple, but they needed to execute it perfectly. No one could be the wiser on the move they were about to make.

He knew there were ways out of that police station without being detected by the media or the Rajas, he himself had made it out.

But with a much larger number of people, it would be quite a feat on its own.
