That night Harold went after Lorentz, tied him up, and took him away with a gun. Suddenly there was a noise: someone shouted "Stop Harold!" Harold's father had grabbed the gun from him and taken it down. In the confusion Harold's mother and Harold's wife rushed down. Harold couldn't hold back his tears — he felt his family was breaking apart. Harold's family begged them not to kill Lorentz, and from that house Lorentz's men took him away. They promised they would protect you all. They said they had been looking after all of you properly for years.
Harold then went to Lorentz and asked for forgiveness. After he pleaded, Lorentz's legs gave out and he collapsed. Two men restrained Lorentz and told him what had happened — they said they had already told Harold's father. Victor promised he would come to that place quickly, but I told him I would try to find out some of the things my father had told me. I knew that the people who came to investigate the case were trying to protect your family, Meera swore an oath to me because she had taken a vow to protect your family. That's why she wrapped you up and hid you, and she kept people to guard you. Why did I bring you here? I considered Victor a friend. I thought that he, like me, would protect your family. A few days later Stephen had to be killed — that was the situation. After that incident, Victor and I were involved in a confrontation. Meera, Rangan, and the others protected us; two bullets even grazed my body. Because of that I received treatment and then we all tried to start living peacefully and quietly. If you come back to take up this case again, I know your family — I wouldn't bring your family close to danger. Victor definitely wouldn't let that happen, so I didn't bring you back. A few days later we couldn't find any news about you; then I saw that you had returned to the department, so I arranged for you to be watched. I told people to keep an eye on you and to bring you here. I told them to gather you and bring you to this place, but when they tried, Victor stopped them. That day I came myself. When I arrived I saw you had many people around you, looking as if they were going to attack. They had their faces covered and dragged you to the hospital. Only then did they give you some files that might help you; they also wrote an address in a diary and sent it to you. The diary didn't contain only an address — it had many proofs.
After that, Harold spoke to his family and the boys were moved. A woman and a child ran away and went to Lorentz. That was when Lorentz said, "This is my child — her name is Ammaya," but he also said he couldn't protect your child. Harold asked if you felt anything — that his son was alive and that his name was Cholan — and then he repeated the story to his family and to Lorentz. Harold's wife, Christy, wanted to see a photo, so Harold showed the photo on his phone. They were so happy. They said, "Now we feel like we've seen our son." Harold said he didn't know anything yet but promised he would find out and asked them to be patient. Then Harold calmed his family down.
Harold told Lorentz that his father Cyrus had asked where your warehouse was and what connection you had to Sentinel Island. Lorentz replied plainly: "In answer to your question — the Sentinel Island is our warehouse." He added that it wasn't just that — it was where they carried out important deals and where they did major operations, and that island was key to their power. We send all our goods there to Hidimba, who stores them on the island. Hidimba acts as our mediator.
Harold asked, "How did you manage the Sentinels? How could you get so close to the island?" Lorentz explained that Hidimba was part of an old, second-generation group and that he had real talent. Hidimba had been on that island since childhood; some of his people lived on one side of the island while the other side was dangerous. So Hidimba came up with a plan: he would supply food and medicine to the Sentinels in return for permission. That's how the relationship started. The Sentinels would never allow outsiders to live permanently on the island; they only stayed in the village near the shore, but the island's inner side is huge. That's why we used submarines and built a big underground warehouse there to store diamonds, gold, and weapons. We also set up training for private soldiers there and provided them with underground facilities. Because of these tunnels and hidden facilities, even Blackfox couldn't locate the place. Hidimba gave the Sentinels food and other essentials so they would be on our side. He would tell us when they were on the island and when they were away. We also constructed a warehouse near the island so the Sentinels wouldn't know about it. If they found out what was stored there, they would know what would happen next.
Harold asked why Hidimba turned against them. Lorentz said only my father Cyrus and the Sentinels knew the next steps. Cyrus had told me something very important: the Sentinels had been protecting the island for a long time and had the authority to keep people out. Cyrus told me, "If you want them to permit you, go to that place and show them everything — then someone there will tell you whether they accept you." I didn't take that too far, so I left the matter as it was. After that Harold told Lorentz everything.
Lorentz asked Harold, "Where did your father say the place is?"
