Dana took a deep breath before speaking, she already had enough of the accusations.“Sir, I'm resigning.” She finally said.Mr Brown's gaze moved from his laptop to Dana's face.“What did you say?” “I said I'm resigning sir.” Dana repeated, she had already made up her mind.Mr Brown frowned, “So after joining hands to hide my daughter, you want to resign?”Dana shook her head in disappointment, “See? This is why I'm quitting. I'm tired of the accusations. I'm tired of having to explain myself so many times when I know I'm innocent. I'd rather quit the job than have to deal with any sort of mental stress.” Dana declared, her voice tinged with frustration.Mr Brown could sense the sincerity in her voice but he wasn't moved, right now, all he could think about was his daughter.“You had better tell me where my daughter is before you leave.”Dana's face split into confusion, “But Mr Brown, I've explained this so many times. I've told you that I know nothing about Amelia's disappearance.
“Where's Amelia's phone?” Rey asked Charlie.“It's with me. I'm not letting you pick any calls anymore. It's too risky.” Charlie stated.“Hand it over.” Rey ordered.“I'm sorry Rey, but I'm not going to release this phone.” Charlie stood firm on his word.“I won't pick any calls. Just give it to me.” Rey extended his hand towards Charlie.“That's what you said the last time. And despite me warning you not to, you still went ahead to pick it. I'm not giving you.” Rey was getting irritated with Charlie's refusal, he moved closer to Charlie with glaring eyes and tight fists.Charlie feared Rey, the last thing he wanted was to engage in some fist fight because of a phone.“Here, here, have it.” Charlie stretched his hand towards Rey with the phone in it as he paced backwards.Rey smirked, “Glad you made the right decision.” Charlie grinded his teeth in annoyance, “You may have had your way by collecting the phone but please don't take any calls.” Rey exhaled loudly, “I already told you
Charlie arrived at the house, he first strolled around the building before bringing out his phone to text Rey.“Oh, he already sent a message.” Charlie said as he opened his phone.Charlie's eyes narrowed as he read the message from Rey.“What's Rey up to?” He muttered to himself.Charlie dialed Rey's number…“Rey, what is that?” Charlie started the moment the call got connected.“What's what?” Rey answered from the other end, feigning ignorance.“You know what I'm talking about. The text you sent, mind explaining yourself? What do you mean by driving into a beach?” Charlie interrogated.“Oh. That.” Rey replied casually.“i don't understand, that is a fucking Tesla. There must be some other way.” Charlie said, sounding impatient.“Calm your horses and do what I have told you. I'm just trying to make sure Mr Brown isn't able to find Amelia at all costs. I don't want him to ever get her back.” Rey said in an assertive tone.“So is this the only way you find suitable to carry out your p
Chelsea was sat on the sofa, watching a series on her laptop when the door was pushed open. She looked up and saw that it was her father. She immediately took off the headset she was putting on and stood up.“Dad, you're home. Welcome back.” She greeted him with a wide smile on her face."Thank you ." he barely replied, and Chelsea raised a brow at him.She noticed her dad's countenance, “What's wrong dad? You look so frustrated. Did something happen at the office?”Chief Reynolds dropped his police cap on the table lazily, and ran his hands through his grey hair.“Chels, I'm a police officer, things always happen. But that isn't the case right now, I'm just tired from work.” He said curtly.Chief Reynolds didn't like discussing his office work with his daughter, especially one that made him come back home looking so frustrated. It wasn't as if he didn't trust her enough, he just wasn't so comfortable with it.“You sure?” Chelsea asked, concern evident in her tone.“Yes dear. I just
"Chelsea, I told you I was coming down already right? You don't have to bring down the building with your screams." Chief Reynolds said loudly as he opened his bedroom door.At that moment, Chelsea had just gotten to the door so she bumped into her father."Are you okay? Is something after you?" Chief Reynolds questioned as he looked behind her to see if there was anything, but there was nothing. He looked back at her panic stricken face and raised a brow."Chels, what is it? You look... shaken. Did something happen?" He asked again suddenly looking worried.Chelsea's throat was throbbing as she was on the verge of tears."Come here." Chief Reynolds mumbled, then he pulled her into a hug."It's okay, it's okay. I'm here." He gently patted her hair.Chelsea sobbed for a few minutes before she finally broke the hug."Are you ready to speak now? What happened?" Chelsea sniffed. "I just saw the news." She started.Chief Reynolds was a little skeptical, he didn't want Chelsea to find out
Rey sat next to Amelia as usual, he held her hands in his as his eyes were fixed on the TV. He was also watching the news. Charlie sat a little away from him, watching the news as well. "They are definitely not kidding." Charlie remarked.A picture of Amelia was shown on the screen."This is Amelia Voltez, the twenty three year old daughter of billionaire and CEO, the owner of Voltez Ventures, Mr Brown Voltez. She has been missing for twenty four hours now. She was said to have been going on a travel research project trip, however she didn't make it to the airport as the airport officials had contacted her father to report her absence. There are also reports that they have been trying to contact her through phone calls, but she isn't picking up. All her socials have been offline for twenty four hours as well. We are aware that she is not a kid, some people have said she might have ran away or something but I don't think she did. She has a wealthy father who gives her everything and
Chelsea woke up very early the next day, she was going to join her father on his search for Amelia. There were a lot of places Amelia could have gone to which she was aware of. It was possible Amelia had already gone there. Chief Reynolds was already prepared for the day. He had just finished dressing up when Lauren woke up."Going to search for Amelia again, huh?" She questioned.Chief Reynolds stared at her through the dressing mirror."You are up." He remarked."That doesn't answer my question, Reynolds." She stated."Seriously? This morning? Tell me, do you have anything against me doing my job?" He questioned as he spun to look at her."I do not have anything against you doing your job, but this particular job in question is a delicate one. You do know Chelsea's connection with Amelia, right?" Lauren asked."What is the correlation? For your information, Chelsea was the reason they stopped being friends. Amelia is missing now and even if it was her own fault, I would still try m
The sales girl straightened herself up. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I had no idea." She said.The customers subconsciously moved backwards."Please, how can I help you? We are just a small paint shop, we have nothing on us and we are liscenced too. I have my license here, I can show it to you...." "You talk too much, Miss. What is going on here?" Chief Reynolds asked."We are having a carnival. It is a four day carnival which started three days ago and ends today." She explained.Chelsea and her father exchanged glances."Really? This carnival thing...how is it like? What happens?" Chelsea questioned."It's a way of advertising our products and we've gotten lots of sales. People come here, have picnics, do face paints, finger paints and different things with paints. My sister is over there, she sells marshmallows for the kids. I'd say it's more childlike though, just a few adults actively participate in it." She explained and Chelsea nodded."Dad, it's just kids. I don't think Amelia was her
