Suggested correction: We don't see him arrive at the construction site, only standing in line to enter the building. He uses a Jeep SUV to get away, and the bad guys are driving trucks and a Mercedes SUV. He probably stole the Jeep for the getaway after confirming before he got in line that the workers left the keys in the vehicle.

Quotes

Bryan: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Questions

Question: How did the bad guys manage to sneak Kim and Amanda out of the apartment without being noticed?

Answer: It's not shown, but they probably drugged the girls and then put them into large trunks or boxes and posed as moving guys, probably using a back entrance or alley.

Answer: In addition to the other answer, it's likely that, since they always bring girls to the same apartment for the kidnappings, they have a deal with the owners of the place to look the other way and provide them an escape route free from observers.

The apartment belonged to Amanda's relatives who were away traveling. She had lied to Kim about it. The guy from the airport found out where they were staying by sharing the cab with them.
