Chapter 521

"What does your brother know about Camilla?" Cedric demanded angrily.

Cedric's security team had brought Benedict back to the interrogation room and Cedric immediately questioned the man.

"She kept her name?" Benedict asked as he turned pale upon hearing news of his sister's abduction.

"So you really didn't know what her name was?" Cedric was caught by surprise, he didn't expect Benedict not to know Camilla's name.

"No, all I figured was that she was alive." Benedict said, shaking his head. "Aiden probably doesn't know that she is our sister. He probably targeted her because she had the same name as our sister and worked for you." 

"If I find out that you were in any way involved in this, I swear, I will not go easy on you." Cedric warned the younger man.

"I would never harm anyone." Benedict said in a firm tone. "I never wanted to be part of my brother's ploy, I left as soon as I could. They were my only family left, I had no one."

"I hope for your sister's sake you are telling the truth." Ian warned Benedict. "She is a kind person who does not deserve all the pain she has gone through."

"I've never wanted to harm anyone, all I wanted was to give my sister the life she deserved." Benedict said bravely. "But I see that she is loved and cared for."

"Camilla is a good friend." Cedric said with a nod, with his expression softening at Benedict's concern for Camilla.

"Either way, we will keep you here." Ray said in a cold tone. "We do not know if we can trust you." 

"All I want is for my sister to remain safe, I will do anything for her." Benedict told Ray as he looked the man in the eye, showing his determination.

"Where would your brother keep her?" Cedric asked.

"Probably at our house. It's on the outskirts of the city in a gated community." Benedict said with a shrug. "I can write the address down if you want."

"Cedric, a moment?" Alexi asked as he gestured for Cedric to step out of the room with him.

When the door closed Cedric leaned against the wall and sighed.

"I know, it's risky." Cedric told Ian, Alexi and Ray who had stepped out with him.

"I agree with Cedric, we should give Benedict a chance.

"He is Aiden's brother, he could be setting a trap." Ray argued in a raised voice.

"Aiden doesn't even know that Camilla is his sister, if he knew he would be acting differently." Cedric reasoned back.

"Cedric is right." Alexi suddenly said. "But Ray is also right."

"Alexi you are not making things easier by messing with us this way!" Ray complained to his friend.

"I mean, Cedric isn't exactly wrong. Something about Benedict feels genuine to me. I don't trust him, but he seems to care about Camilla." Alexi explained. "But I still agree with Ray, we need to exercise caution when dealing with the Ortiz brothers." 

"So what are you suggesting?" Ray asked Alexi.

"Send a team to scout the location, if it comes out clean then we can try to get Camilla there, but if it is empty, then we set a trap at the meet up point." Alexi explained.

"We'll need to delay the meet up if we want to rescue Camilla before the meet up." Cedric said as he carefully thought of their next moves.

"Let's get the location from Benedict then go from there." Ian suggested.

"I agree with Ian's suggestion. The timeline depends on where this safehouse is." Cedric told his friends.

They walked back in and handed Benedict a piece of paper to write the address on as they question him.

"Does your brother have the place secured?" Cedric asked.

"Yes, he has about fifty men on the property at any time." Benedict confirmed as he wrote down the address. 

"How about the walls of the property, can it be scaled?" Cedric asked.

"Yes. But there is an electric fence on the top, you will need to disable that." Benedict answered.

"Does the house have backup power?" Ian asked this time.

"Yes, it has one generator, but if you can get one person into the property discreetly it can be switched off." Benedict explained. "It's located at the edge of the property because my brother is irrationally afraid that it will explode."

"Where would he keep your sister?" Ian asked Benedict as Benedict placed down the pen and pushed it towards them.

"Since he doesn't think you would know where he is hiding, she would probably just be at the living room or in the guest room." Benedict told them. "But if he is alerted, by brother has a bunker underneath the property, you cannot let him get there, it can only be opened by two people."

"And who are those two?" Cedric asked.

"My brother and I." Benedict said, confirming Cedric's suspicions.

"Anything you want to add?" Alexi asked the chained man.

Benedict sighed and looked down. "My brother cannot find out that Camilla is our sister, if he finds out the truth, I fear he will never let her go. It took me years to be free of him."

"Where does he think you went?" Cedric asked Benedict Ortiz.

"He thinks I died when we were retreating." Benedict told them.

"You were there on the day of the attack at the cemetery?" Cedric asked.

"Yes." Benedict said with a nod. "I took a drug that slowed my heart rate enough for his men to think I was dead. Then I hid till I could find an opportunity to enter your property. It took a while, but I saw my chance tonight."

"Why didn't you just come to me in my office?" Cedric asked.

"My brother has eyes almost everywhere, R Tower is no exemption." Benedict explained. "Mountain View is the only one where he couldn't put his spies. It really frustrated him."

Cedric simply nodded and accepted Benedict's explanation.

"I hope for your sake you are right." Cedric told Benedict as he left the interrogation room with the others.

"You have the location?" Cedric asked as they entered the observation room where the others were waiting for them.

Alexi who was holding the address Benedict had given suddenly turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Cedric asked as he gave his friend a worried look.

"This address.. ." Alexi managed to say.

"What?" Cedric asked impatiently.

"It's right next to Katerina's house." Alexi said as he showed Cedric the address on the paper.
