“I agree,” Kostya nodded. “The question is, do they know that he is here in Bismil?”
“Gideon, can you find out how many Kraken are here in Turkey?”
“I’ve been working on some searches, and Kane from Night Storm is helping me. He’s ruled out four members so far. Neither of us can pinpoint where the two lieutenants are, so chances are they’re in Turkey since this is such a big bounty.”
“I’ve got nothing else for you right now,” Gideon said. “I’m trying to find out any known places that Kaan Polat frequents in Bismil. If I find something, I’ll let you know.” He hung up.
Ryker looked at the three men in the backseat. They looked wretched.
“He said only one boy, right?” Landon asked quietly.
Nolan nodded.
“I wonder which one,” Landon mumbled.
“Landon, don’t think about it. We’ve got to concentrate on saving the one they did take. That’s our mission. Saving him and saving the Princeton boys.”
“And getting us some Kraken,” Ryker spit out.
All five men nodded.

This time, just Kostya’s phone rang.
“Is it Jase, or do you have a location for Kaan?” Kostya asked.
“Jase still hasn’t checked in.”
“That doesn’t make sense. The meeting minutes should have been provided at the start of the meeting and that was two hours ago.” Kostya ran his fingers through his short blond hair.
“I’ve got nothing for you regarding Jase. I do have Kaan’s address. He has a compound on the North side of town, right across from a school. The shit of it is, the school is due to let out in thirty minutes, so you need to wait until after that before you go in.”
“Understood. Text the address and coordinates. We’ll get in place.”
“It’s kind of isolated, so your vehicles are going to stand out,” Gideon warned.
“Good to know.”
“Wait, don’t hang up,” Gideon stopped him. “I’m also sending you names and pictures of Frank Sykes, his lieutenants, and eight other members of the Kraken elite. I’m sending them to the group text.”
“Thanks.”
Kostya hung up and looked around at his men. “We still take two vehicles, in case we need additional methods of escape.” There was a ping on everyone’s phone and Ryker looked down and saw that Gideon had sent the address and coordinates for the compound.
“We head out now, do reconnaissance. Then we’ll get into position.”
“Who are we taking out?” Ryker asked.
“We want information from Kaan Polat to find Mehmet and Hamza who we think have the Princeton boys. Which is exactly what Kraken intends to do, only using his nephew as leverage. I want to get to Kaan before Kraken shows up, so that the boy can be saved.”
“What about school getting out?” Landon asked.
“We’ll see how we can get into the compound once we’re there, so maybe it won’t disturb the schoolkids.” Kostya turned to Ryker. “Ryker, I want you to keep track of Kraken’s ETA to get here from Batman. I need a countdown.” Kostya looked at his watch. “The way I figure it, they have about an hour and fifteen minutes to make it to the compound, so you stay on top of that for us, okay?”
Ryker nodded.
“Let’s move out.”
