2024-10-29 19:42:56This morning before they parted from Calvin, the little girl had a chance to chat with the man. There were some things they talked about that they giggled together. Meanwhile she had to be patient just to see them from a distance because Emily said it was a secret for both of them.
"Mommy, is Calvin out of the house now?"
"Maybe. Mommy doesn't know either."
While bathe Emily, now Hazel's thoughts drifted back to Calvin. Believe it or not, she was now very worried about the man. Sometimes she thought, what if the police managed to find him while the man was on his way to look for evidence in the Duffal family murder case? Will the man still be able to escape one more time from the cops? It would seem a little impossible. There is no mercy for criminals who have escaped from a first-class prison. If Calvin was caught again, he would definitely be placed in the strictest prison ever. And maybe the man's case doesn't need to be tried again. In other words, he wou

"How? Does the tool work?” They immediately got into the police car, but neither of them started the engine for a while. Richmond is now actually using a headset and is starting to focus his concentration on listening to the sounds or voices that come from his headset. “Emily, it's time for bed honey. Don't force Mommy to punish you by not eating ice cream for a week." Richmond signaled to Michael with his thumb that everything was work. The bug device he had placed under the woman's living room table was powerful enough to monitor her for several days. "We need to prove that Hazel Hayes wasn't brainwashed by Calvin McAdam." "That woman isn't the type to be brainwashed easily," Michael replied, listening to Richmond as well. Most of the noises he listens to are the screams of girl giggling when their mother does something she finds funny. “But things like that can happen. Or maybe stockho

The restaurant is right on the corner of a busy Third Ave intersection. From any side when pedestrians pass or motorists pass, the restaurant will be seen very clearly with its bright yellow plaque. Emily, who saw the legendary restaurant, immediately shouted with joy at her mother so that she could buy a cup of her favorite McDonalds ice cream. Hazel ignored her daughter's whimper for a moment. Currently the focus is only on the pedestrians who are crowding around the McDonalds restaurant which looks so crowded at lunch time. She had made a deal with Calvin before they parted ways to carry out their respective duties. She told the man that she could not follow his plan if she was still a kidnap victim with her daughter. She certainly didn't want to risk Emily's life if she decided to join Calvin without consideration. So she comes up with a brilliant idea to outwit the geeky law enforcement officers while they travel to Idaho to gather evidence of past crimes that may still

The Space Needle looked crowded, even busier than Hazel could have expected. The one hundred and eighty-four meter high observatory in fact managed to attract the attention of many people, both local and foreign tourists. Since the beginning the Space Needle was built as an icon of the city of Seattle and also to attract many tourists to visit Seattle. Calvin should be happy to be here, Hazel thought irritably. A few minutes ago they had just been arguing about Hazel's preferred location which was obviously very risky and very crowded. The man vehemently blamed her for never telling him about this place in the first place. But Hazel could also blame the man because he didn't ask at all when she told him to leave a message on Cassie's voicemail with a strange message that only the two of them knew. “There is a five percent discount on ticket purchases for active soldiers like you. I'm sure you've never been here before." Hazel purposely mocked Calvin to make the man e

Pedro's cell phone vibrated gently in the pocket of his slick ironed pants and a long shirt top that was no less slick with the expensive pants he was currently wearing. Expensive clothes, handsome looks, and a charming smile are Pedro's charms that no one will be able to resist. Since he could make millions of dollars overnight, he no longer wanted to be the pathetic bum he had been so underrated in New Orleans. It could be said that his life has now drastically changed, from a dirty ugly boy to a rich and attractive adult man. "Yes, what is up?" He answered directly without further ado. While small talk wasn't his trademark, the person on the other end wouldn't want to hear a bunch of bullshit from him either. "What about Emma Shelter?" “Right in front of me. Two hundred meters in front of me, playing with five children who are so noisy. Her other comrades don't seem to care at all." Pedro took the time to glance at another young woman who was sitti

Their journey was smooth at first. There were no strange things they encountered on the way. Calvin who is driving the car looks very calm. His instincts didn't give any warning at all. A hat covered his head, sunglasses perched over his nose, and he looked haughty. To get out of Seattle, they avoided the main road. They avoid cctv cameras installed at various points on the road as much as possible. Better to take a detour than to have to deal with the police. Neither Hazel nor Calvin, they would take that risk. But because their journey had been too smooth since earlier, it made Hazel very sleepy. She then asked Calvin's permission to turn on the radio. Though she used to drive herself if she wanted to visit her mother out of town on weekends, but this was very boring. The most boring trip she had ever taken because she didn't go with Emily. She couldn't chatter with the girl, while Calvin was a very quiet man who didn't like to talk. “Do you mind if I play

Richmond stared at the look of his house flatly. He hadn't been home for two days to find the whereabouts of that bastard Calvin. He really couldn't remember coming home when he had wallowed in the case and all that had to do with Calvin McAdam. In fact, today he also intends not to go home. It's the same for him to go home or not. Tasteless. His wife would probably be happier he wasn't home than he was, but she always ignored him painfully.Sometimes he thought, maybe when he came home he would find his wife having an affair with another man in their house. But in the nine years they've been married, he's never once found Emma hanging out with another man. That woman was too good for such an irresponsible asshole.With unsteady steps, he got out of his car after parking the car in the garage of his house which was not too big. He immediately turned off the yellow light that lit up the garage, after which he closed the pull-out door in front of the garage and locked it

The next day Richmond got up early and took a shower to get ready to go on a search for Calvin. Since last night he'd been making plans to go to some areas south of Seattle that he hadn't been with Michael. He shouldn't be too far from Seattle. In every corner of the city there is CCTV that is on for twenty-four hours. The man also had no allies to help his escape. It was clear that the man was not going anywhere and could only survive in cramped slums until in the end he would give up because he had nothing to survive. "You look really excited, Rich." Emma places a cup of coffee and a plate of pancakes in front of her husband who looks happy. It had been quite a while in these years that she had not seen her husband so excited like this. “Maybe because I can have breakfast with you. Sit down Em, let's eat together." For now Richmond didn't want to remember anything about his plans to divorce Emma. Though last night he had thought about telling Emma a

"How did it happen?" Richmond dashed out of Hazel's apartment building to meet a woman who had reported yesterday that her car had been stolen by a foreign man. This morning the woman found her car parked in front of her apartment building. Then a mail courier gave her a medium-sized envelope without a clear sender's identity. At first she was afraid to open the envelope. Especially after her car was stolen by a man whose identity the police suspected as Calvin McAdam. Throughout the day she became very scared and just hid in her apartment while watching a movie to get rid of her boredom. But suddenly this morning she had to get out of her apartment. A security guard knocked on her apartment door and said that her car was parked in front of the apartment building. Not believing what the man said, she finally went downstairs to check the whereabouts of her car. "Are you Miss Lola Elizabeth?" "Yes, that's me." “Richmond Shelter. Police detective

"Rick? I really didn't expect you to be here." They haven't seen each other in a long time. Maybe more than eight months after their talk in court. Rick then disappeared and never appeared in front of her again. Rumor has it that he has opened a law firm out-of-town specializing in criminal matters. “Hey Hazel, you look a lot better and—” Rick gestured at her bulging belly then smiled widely at Hazel's amazing pregnancy. "And what?" "And chubby. I didn't say you were fat," Rick said, looking innocent. Hazel immediately pursed her lips at those words. Lately many people say she is fat. Especially her annoying husband, Calvin! Oh my gosh, the guy kept rebuking her if she started eating sweet snacks at night. Whose fault is this though? Huh, that sucks! Even though having baby was her wish too. But he often teased her and made her grumble when he started talking about being overweight. “I always get annoyed every time I hear that word. So

Hiding among the tall tree trunks in silence and the drizzling rain that made his coat wet slowly was something annoying. This is not an option, it is a must. He had to wait there long enough for the person he was looking for to appear. But waiting is not fun. It's more like disgusting. He had never been this irritated by anyone before. And the girls he had seen playing in front of the terrace had been called in by a woman he didn't know. It wasn't Hazel of course. Hazel would always be with Calvin and would stick together like postage stamps and letters. And if the girls not been called into the house, he would have at least still had a more beautiful sight to behold than the dark surroundings and the occasional noise of the nocturnal beasts. A chill slowly began to creep over his skin from the wet coat he had been wearing for hours. He wanted to give up and go back to his warm car. But what if that person comes? Hadn't he been waiting for hours for that person? So he ignor

Pine street is very busy. The tourists crowded the sidewalk and were busy taking pictures with whatever objects they encountered on the side of the road. The colorful walls in front of the bakery, statues, walls full of disgusting chewing gum, even wooden benches on the sidewalk are also the targets of tourists to take pictures. There is nothing on pine street that doesn't look attractive to the tourists. Jason laughed amused at the strangeness that was happening in front of him. How ridiculous these people are, Jason thought giggling. It's better to take pictures with beautiful women in nightclubs than to take pictures with inanimate objects on the sidewalk who must be sick of them. Walking leisurely, Jason then turned into a narrow alley beside a nightclub. Today he was going to deliver a package to a European man who was stopping in Seattle on business. Once this area was controlled by a Mexican man who is very well known as the most dangerous mafia in this place.

Catherine was just about to tell the girls to go inside and clean up their toys that were scattered on the veranda when her instincts began to tell her of the dangers around her. Cautiously she swept her eyes all over Calvin's house. She looked closely at the giant trees in front of Calvin's house which suddenly looked scary to her. A gripping fear began to affect her brain so she quickly took action to lead the girls into the house. "Hurry in, your lunch will be cold if you don't come in soon." "What's on our lunch menu today, Aunt Kathy?" “Cheese burger with beef. Come on in quickly." "Yiippiee..." Emily shouted with joy and immediately dashed into the house. While the girls had trodden toward the dining table, Catherine was still standing in the doorway watching the area around Calvin's house that she found a little suspicious. The sound of rustling leaves suddenly increased Catherine's vigilance. Her eyes fiercely moved left and right, sca

Hazel stared at the modern-style two-story building in front of her, squinting. Before actually getting out of the car, she tried to make sure once again the address listed on the document was the same as the address written on the mailbox in front of the house. "Looks like this is her house." "Then let's go down." Calvin parked his car in front of the house and immediately stepped outside, taking a deep breath of cold air. Suddenly he became congested and also pounding because this house was their last stop before they could decide what to do next. As he and Hazel drove to the house, they had a discussion about what they would do if it turned out to be the Millers or if Millers wasn't the terrorizer. Thinking about it made him nervous. Previously he had also shown the cctv camera footage at the hospital to Hazel. According to Richmond's suggestion, he tried to watch the cctv footage again on his cell phone. And from the video he got a clue. Whether t

“I don't know if these kinds of things are necessary? Oh come on Calvin, I'm just pregnant, not invalid." Calvin didn't care at all about Hazel's long tirade ever since they came out of his house in the middle of the woods. Even if she didn't like his exaggeration or whatever he was doing to her right now, he would still do it. The people around them looked at them with confused looks and the rest gave them strange looks because he was so overprotective of Hazel that he had to hold her hand every time she took one step forward and even when climbing stairs. "You should be on bed rest, not wandering around the court." "Oh my God, I'm fine. My baby is fine too. No need to overdo it like this. After all I know this place as well as I know myself. Get your hands off it, Calvin! I can walk alone.” "Shut up Hazel. There's a rock in front of you, you could stumble." Hazel pursed her lips in annoyance and got even more annoyed when Calvin pulled her s

What does a man without a job usually do in the morning? Lazing in front of the house while enjoying a cup of coffee that is still steaming thin. The cold morning air lulled him along with the sound of rustling leaves that fell and littered his yard.But he couldn't really relax in this sitution. He had to think of something for his plan to take revenge on the judge. The last attempt to harm the judge had failed. Still he credited himself for sneaking into the hospital and creating such a mess that the bitch shuddered on the floor. At least it made his heart a little satisfied even though he failed to kill the judge. He thought that now his ambition had escalated from wanting to hurt the judge to wanting to kill the judge. Several of his colleagues told him yesterday at the bar that the judge had a big hand in changing his life. From an independent man with abundant money and a harmonious family to a poor ugly man who was abandoned by his family. If the judge hadn't made the

"Hey, am I bothering you?" At ten o'clock Hazel showed up in Calvin's garage to meet the man who had just finished checking on the cars. He quickly closed the hood as Hazel slowly walked towards him, avoiding the car repair kits that were splattered on the floor. "What's wrong with your car?" "There's no problem whatsoever. I just haven't made any repairs for them in a long time." Hazel's gaze swept over to Calvin's four cars neatly lined up in his garage. Two shiny-looking sports cars, a white Range Rover SUV, and a heavy track car with giant-sized wheels that were almost as big as her. “Nice collection.” “I like cars. Usually I will exchange it for a new one if interested in a new car. They haven't been here more than five years," Calvin said with a dismissive shrug. "I guess I'm quite sentimental about cars. The car I used to use was almost ten years old. And I don't intend to replace it until the car is completely broke."
DESPERATE LOVE NINETY
After a long day of playing and forgetting for a moment all the problems that have been haunting his life lately, it's time to get back to facing the reality of that damned terror. Even so, he didn't deny that he liked his new role now as an uncle and perhaps a father to the girls. After a very exciting lunch today, he and the girls then went to the woods. They walked past the big trees which looked scary to Zinny and Emily, but they wouldn't be afraid because he was with them. He would protect the little girls from monsters or anything that would disturb them. Looks really cool. Whereas before he didn't feel really cool when he spilled blood on the battlefield or killed someone he thought was evil. He actually felt cool when he was with Emily and Zinny. They made his chest expand with pride for being able to protect them as a formidable man. "Am I bothering you?" "Not really. Emma just fell asleep." The corners of his lips curved into a smile. He had
