"Search through all the surveillance footage in this area," Gabriel demanded. "Start from the entrance of the villa's private road. Do not miss out even a single second!"
Mallory was so stunned by his sudden change in demeanor that she stopped crying.
She didn't recognize the Gabriel that was standing before her. Was he afraid?
But that thought only briefly flashed through her mind before she ruthlessly extinguished it. She didn't care how he was acting at that moment. After all, he was the entire reason Emily was suffering through so much hardship.
Gabriel didn't bother looking at anyone else. He simply retrieved his phone and dialed a number before quickly giving out orders.
"Shut down all the docks and airports. Utilize every resource that we have to find Emily. If anything happens to her, all of you will have to bear the consequences." After he hung up the phone, he strolled out of the villa.
The police officers exchanged looks with each other before they followed him out.
Meanwhile, Mallory had regained her senses. She wiped the tears from her eyes before rushing back to her car without a moment's hesitation.
She didn't care what Gabriel was up to, but she needed to see Emily alive with her own eyes.
…
The atmosphere in the police station's command center was incredibly heavy. The gigantic screen had been sectioned off into countless smaller screens, broadcasting all the surveillance feeds in the city.
Gabriel stood before the screen. With his men and the police force working together, they were able to move the investigation along at an unprecedented speed.
They first combed through the surveillance footage surrounding the halfway point of the mountain before widening their search further.
A long time passed before one of the technical police officers shouted, "I found it!"
Everyone turned their attention to the main screen.
The footage was blown up in an instant. It showed a black van without a license plate exiting the only private road that led to the villa at 3:50 pm. It then joined the rest of the cars that were headed for the city.
"Follow it!" Gabriel demanded, his voice as cold as ice.
The officer's fingers flew across the keyboard as he swiftly switched between the different surveillance cameras, making sure to keep the black van in their sights.
The van stayed away from highways and main roads, choosing instead to travel through alleys and cutting through suburban areas. It was obvious that it was trying to avoid being followed.
