The Dangerous Job

Joshua couldn't stop thinking. Why was Carlos kidnapped? Did he have something?
Jasper couldn't stop thinking. Why did Carlos call Nicah? Does she have something no one else had?
Yanna couldn't stop thinking. How did that old man in the burnt house know sll about Carlos? What guy would monitor a kid until 3 am in the morning?
As if bulbs had lighted up in their heads, they cried in unison, "NICAH'S IN DANGER!"

Joshua said, "Oh man. Nicah got the car. How will we get there?"
Yanna got her cellphone and dialled Nicah's number. "Hello? Nicah, where are you?"
"I am already here in his house. The man's here and what's strange is that he seems to know that I'd be here."
"Nicah, whatever you do..."
A sound of glass breaking. Shattered pieces. A terrified scream.
"Nicah! NICAH! Where are you?"
Cmon. Don't tell me the phone was broken.
Out of the screams, she heard a scream. "WDG-456!"

Jasper sat down. Mad at himself fornot being with Nicah. Yanna waited. Joshua without any hesitation opened his laptop. Ingeniously, he connected the computer to the phone. He typed the number 5290437. An address appeared on his computer. 25 Georgeton Street, Fort City, Metro Manila and then in all caps - DEMOLISHED. NO BODIES FOUND. But he tried calling the phone through the computer.

"Hello?" An old voice appeared on the other side.
Yanna and Jasper neared the computer to listen.
"You fool! Don't you know other's might found out..." the line went down.
Joshua called the number again but this time it was a plain dead line.

Jasper asked, "Were you able to trace that call?!"
Joshua smiled. "Of course! I got the address."
Yanna then told them about the plate number she heard Nicah mention.
Joshua typed in "WDG-456" in the computer. Through a series of complicated windows, Joshua found a picture of the car. It was a black minivan. Under it was the address.

Joshua smiled, "The addresses match!"
