After he has been given an all clear, Daniel Martins finally drove into the compound with the hope of finding his son alive. He quickly alighted and ran towards the police boss.
"How far?" He asked.
The police officer turned to face him with a suprised look. "You shouldn't be here." he said.
"I asked as question Mr man. And I demand an answer." Daniel shouted.
"Calm down, Mr Daniel. Your safety is very important to me in particular." The police man replied politely. But seeing that his approach is not going down well with the businessman, he changed approach.
"For now your son is no where in sight. The supposed kidnappers are not either, but we saw a dead body in one of the rooms, and from all indications, the gunshot we hear the other time resulted in the dead body we found. If that is the case, then the kidnappers should still be around the vicinity." He explained.
"What about my son?" Daniel asked fearfully.
"e be like sey you are deaf. Haven't I been speaking in English since?" The officer thought.
"Finding your son lies with finding the kidnappers. Just stand back and let us do our job."

After spending fifteen minutes in the room with no one in sight, except the blaring sound of the police van siren, Mayor jumped down as silent as he could and then proceeded into the inner rooms in the warehouse. He was hopeful that Christopher would still be in the room as it will be unprofessional of Biggie to at the same time try to save himself and still hold the boy hostage.

Daniel stood impatiently beside the police boss as he instructed his boys with displayed images on a flatscreen. Judging from the way and manner with which everyone paid attention, he concluded that it has to be related to the house inside whose compound they were.
"Sir." One of the police officers called their boss' attention while pointing to the entrance of the house.
Everyone turned towards the direction which the officer pointed.
Daniel followed everybody's gaze and as if in a movie, Chris walked side by side with a young man he would recognize anywhere, and a suprise followed from behind. He had to rub his eyes with the back of his hands to ascertain if he was dreaming or not. There stood his wife all smiles.
He calmly walked towards them.
"Chris, are you okay?" He asked.
"Yes dad." for the first time in his life, he felt like a real dad. He opened his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you very much sweety." He hugged his wife too, and for the first time he felt he has a family.
"He found us and rescued us." Chris said pointing to Mayor who was being held by the police.
Daniel shook hands with him warmly with a smile, even though Mayor didn't return the gesture, he still appreciated his help at rescuing his son.
A question on his mind was how his wife came to be in the same place with Chris.
"Where is my mum?" Chris asked, disappointment evident in his looks.
"She sent me." Mayor replied.
