CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVENTY-THREE *The feeling of happiness? Regret? Victory? Or misery?*"Hello, Officer!!!! Thank God! Is my daughter safe and hale?!" A desperate male voice broke into the cops' telephone.The cop glanced over at Hannah huddling herself tightly with a blanket draped around her body as she sat beside one of the cops' cars.He smiled wryly and nodded into the telephone."Yes, Your daughter has just been rescued and she's alive and well. I assume I'm on to er ... Mr Spikes is that right?" "Of-of course! This is Mr Spikes! Can I see my daughter? Where is she, officer?!" Hannah's father asked impatiently."Relax, Mr Spikes, your daughter will be taken to the station very soon in Southampton district, you can meet us there.""Southampton district...." He dragged the word out as he quickly scribbled the address on a rumpled paper."But where did you find her, where is she at the moment if you don't mind my asking officer?" He nagged on relentlessly.The officer clicked his t
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR*Soon enough, you will find out the truth."*She would rather shove pins beneath her nails than not watch the look of terror and resignation on the faces of the hitherto notorious and most feared monstrous big trio.This had better make the headlines!!!!Her lips twitched with suppressed amusement.This is so unreal!!!!Is that Amber Harvard begging to be freed?!They were all handcuffed and bundled together like a sag of potatoes.Amber's face was scrunched up with disbelief and misery.It was the first time in her entire life that she had seen her like this. Completely shattered and screwed.Janice did this for her. Her heart warmed at the thought of that.She went all the way for her to ensure that justice is indeed served and ultimately regained her freedom.Amber's throat worked on a swallow."This is prosperous !! You can't just handcuff us like that. There's no conclusive evidence that indicted us!"She cried, as she attempted to wriggle free of th
CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVENTY-FIVE *Alas, this is reality and the reality she hoped was a nightmare*"The truth huh?" Amber scoffed."I don't need it. Much less from you!" she growled.Janice chuckled as she shook her head."You are broken deep down, Amber. I don't blame you. However, you will have to accept the truth sooner or later. It's pity that your father will abandon you when you needed him the most. I can't imagine what you are feeling right now but ... Every action comes with consequences, Amber and you must pay for all the pain you have caused Hannah. There's definitely no escaping that.",Amber shook her head frantically."Don't you dare talk to me like you give a crap about me, Janice!" She spat as she glared pointedly at her."I told you before, times without number, that you know nothing about me! So stay the fuck away!!! You have clearly got what you wanted all along so spare me your useless pep talk about emphasizing with me and all that bullshit!"Janice flinched at how hu
CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVENTY-SIX *...at the end of the day, a monster didn't start out as one, they are created not born to be like that**"Amber... If a time comes that you need help desperately, then I will be available to help at any point. Do not hesitate to come to me. You can always meet me at Pine house, Montana Avenue - a very quiet countryside in east England. It got a beautiful view I'm sure you will love it."* Her mother parting words came to her again as fresh tears brimmed in her eyes."Did I hear you correctly, Amber? You want to talk to your mother ?" Janice asked in shock. Amber's mother had been separated for a while now and from her investigations, Amber had despised her mother very much.I guess at the end of the day a mother's love never fades.Janice looked at her with pity and then crouched down beside her."Amber, as much as I hate you for what you have done to Hannah and all your other victims, I still have a heart and I feel sorry for you right now," Janice said
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY -SEVEN *at the station*After ensuring that the warehouse has been sealed-completely off-limits to the public, they commenced their tumultuous journey through the thick woods and, in roughly good twenty minutes, they arrived at the Station.In front of the huge building of the Southampton police district, a fleet of wailing police cars screeched to a halt.Amber and her two cohorts were bundled out of the car by an officer.While The inspector, Janice, and Hannah slid out from the other official spy-covered car.Hannah wasn't quite sure how to feel.After all, she's coming face to face with her parents for heaven's sake!The same parents she was scared to expose the situation to in the first place!What's she gonna do?What if her parents are highly disappointed in her and wouldn't even look her in the face?If so, then why are they here?They wouldn't even be waiting for her at the station if that were true.Maybe she's simply overthinking things.She felt a
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT*What on earth drew her to Hannah Spikes?*"Officer I thank you from the bottom of my heart for rescuing my daughter. You have no idea how extremely grateful we are. We are indebted to you for your kind work." Me Spikes took the hands of the inspector in his as she shook them frantically.The inspector chuckled and shook his head slowly."No, Mr. Spikes. You should direct that gratitude to this young lady." He gestured to Janice Jordan who stood beside him, wringing her fingers nervously."She saved your daughter, not me. She reported to us otherwise we wouldn't have known a single thing till this very moment. So, therefore, Janice here owes all the accolades." Mr. Spikes kept a stay narrow gaze trained on Janice for some moments, making her extremely uncomfortable as she shifted relentlessly in her feet.His jaw twitched a little to the left as he gave her a half-wry smile."I'm not sure I know you... Are you friends with my daughter perhaps?" he quizze
CHAPTER HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE *for the first time in her life, she felt so ashamed of herself*"What about your parents?" The abrupt question shocked the living daylights out of her, yanking her forcibly out of her perplexed thoughts."Are they aware of this?"Why would he suddenly ask that out of blue? Is he, perhaps suspicious of her?She gulped. How will they react when they eventually find out who she really is?She gulped and shot a desperate look at the inspector in the hopes that he would rescue her from this situation.Rather, he simply smiled and nodded, goading her to go on with it."I... My parents er... Yes, I guess so. My father should be joining us anytime soon. " She faltered a bit and quickly swept a tongue over her chapped lips and flashed him a toothy nervous smile.Mr. Spikes raised his brows dubiously."Okay... " He said reluctantly.The inspector cleared his throat and stepped in the middle, in his usual business-like look."Well, Mr. Spikes, we will need a statem
CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY *They are still kids*"I can't believe my eyes and ears! Who would have thought that the daughter of the renowned Jordans would be the one to save my daughter and I assume she had your permission for that? I am quite shocked. How do I repay you and your daughter for your kindness?"Mr. Spikes said as he reluctantly extended his hand. Mr. Jordan chuckled and held up his hand."It's fine, Mr. Spikes. When my daughter wants something she's adamant to get it and there's no stopping her. Either way, I'm glad we could be of help. Well, I could say it's sort of a win-win situation for the both of you wouldn't you agree ?"Mr. Spikes arched his brows diametrically in utter confusion.He laughed nervously in a bid to hide his confusion."may I ask how do you mean by that if you don't mind ?" He inquired softly.Mr. Jordan chuckled again and shot an amusing glance in his daughter's direction. Janice's hazel eyes narrowed in a mild glare in an attempt to discourage her
