"Alicia, are you saying we break into each warehouse?" He thought that doing so might cause a stir.

"Is there any other way? What if we can't tell which unit it is? What if he's in the cold storage? If we wait until we find the surveillance video, it may be too late. Moreover, these warehouse units are rented out for storage purposes. It could be ages before we locate the owners and get access to them."

The fastest way would be to break in.

"Some of these units have known owners and are for general storage. For example this one, it is clearly marked on the layout map and is used for long-term fruit storage. Even the address is clearly stated. This type of long-term storage won't be sublet. Therefore, we can exempt them from the search or leave them until the last to search. We should start searching for the ones that have an ambiguous or suspicious lease but don't overlook everything else here. Search each of them one by one. We have many people here, we can finish the search in two hours. Mark the ones that we have done searching by tying a rope on the door handle, so we don't repeat the search and waste our time."

Alicia stood on the higher ground, pointed towards the warehouse and said.

"Now that the surrounding area is quiet and your target is big. The guys might have escaped already or realized we are here. You should be on the lookout. Since these people know who you are and are being cautious. They are desperate but not ruthless. If given a choice, they will not kill the victim! Once they find out they've kidnapped the wrong person, they will probably kidnap Frederick along and contact us for ransom. Either that or they will hide her in the warehouse and escape."

Alicia paused to take a breath before continuing.

"So, let's search! If you find her, practice discretion. Either try to negotiate or try to rescue her. If we still can't locate her after the search, we'll call the police! We shouldn't waste any more time!"

These people were amateurs, after all. Even if they were trained professionally, they couldn't compete with the combat-trained police.

Alicia was anxious and thought to herself, "I hope everything goes well."

They looked at each other and Chet nodded. "Let's do as you said!"

After that, they drove further forward. Chet instructed the men to keep a low profile and notify him of any situations before taking any action.

Before both Chet and Alicia could understand the situation fully and were waiting anxiously, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Found it! It's at Storage B109_3. We found a piece of a business card near the door. We searched around the area and found the door to the unit unlocked!"
