What Mrs. Sanders had said threw Leah off. She knew Han was up to something, but she did not expect this. Leah quickly helped Mrs. Sanders up. “What happened? Tell me.”

Mrs. Sanders could not stop sobbing. She shook like a leaf as she tried to speak, “Someone called me this morning saying they have kidnapped Ian. They want you to go to this place or Ian’s gone.”

She took out her phone and showed Leah a text message with an address. Leah read the address, and she noticed it was that of a warehouse.

“Is Ian kidnapped?” Leah said.

Mrs. Sanders nodded. “They asked for you specifically to go there alone. If we tell anyone else about this, they’ll kill Ian! Please, Sarah, please help me to save Ian. You’re the only one to save him now!”

Leah held Mrs. Sanders’ hand and she sighed. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Sanders. I will save Ian and I will bring my fiancé back safely.”

“Thank you, Sarah,” Mrs. Sanders said, teary-eyed. Leah saw her off before returning to the house.
