Chapter 7 - The Hostile Pursuit
Marcus reached for the weapon holstered at his hip, but Liam was much faster.
Liam swung the heavy brass statue, striking the corrupt security chief forcefully in the chest and knocking him to the floor.
"Who is driving that car right now?" Liam screamed, pinning the gasping man to the ground.
Marcus coughed up a bit of blood and laughed a wet, pathetic laugh.
"Claire's brother is driving the car, and they are going to make sure the little brat disappears forever," Marcus confessed.
Liam did not waste another second on the traitor lying on the floor.
He sprinted to the underground garage, jumped into his fastest sports car, and roared out into the dark night.
He mounted his phone on the dashboard, keeping his eyes glued to the blinking red dot on the GPS map.
The pursuit led him far outside the city limits, deep into an abandoned industrial district near the old shipyards.
The red dot finally stopped moving, settling near a decaying warehouse on the edge of the freezing water.
Liam parked his car a block away and crept silently through the shadows of the rusted shipping containers.
He peered through a broken window of the warehouse and saw a tall man tying Chloe to a wooden chair.
The little girl was crying silently, a thick piece of silver duct tape covering her mouth.
Liam felt a murderous rage take over his entire soul as he picked up a heavy iron crowbar from the debris.
He kicked the rotting wooden door of the warehouse completely off its hinges.
The kidnapper turned around in shock, reaching into his jacket for a gun.
Liam crossed the room in three massive strides and swung the iron crowbar with devastating force.
The heavy metal struck the kidnapper's shoulder, sending him crashing into a pile of wooden pallets.
Liam immediately dropped the weapon and rushed over to rip the tape gently from his daughter's mouth.
"I am so sorry I scared you, Daddy," Chloe sobbed, burying her face into his neck.

The kidnapper groaned from the floor, spitting out a broken tooth as he looked at Liam.
"You can save the kid, but Claire is draining your entire family fortune from the estate computers right now," the man sneered.
