“NADIA!”Sam calls out, in deep worry when Nadia’s phone call is then ended after a shrieking noise and a loud crash that he heard from the other line. “Nadia? What happened?”Harry quickly asks and is in a bit of a panic, especially after seeing Sam’s face. “Damn!” Jun curses after quickly grabbing his phone and forgetting to turn his phone’s speaker up, realizing a bit late that Nadia had been calling him for a while now. “Stupid!” He curses and scolded himself while trying to reach Nadia’s phone, but to no avail. “Somethings not right. Jun, you do have a tracker with Cath or Nadia’s phone, right?”Sam quickly asks and almost slams his body into Jun, shoving him away from the computer and immediately twerking the keys to find Nadia and Cath’s location. “I do.”Jun immediately replies and help him with the tracking device. “Here.”Jun quickly located the two phones that is too far from each other. Nadia’s tracker is way ahead and out of the route than Cath’s phone. “This is
“ACCIDENT?”Sam almost curses. Fed up from the series of events, worse with Cath missing. “Where is she? No, let’s go to the hospital.”He directly ordered, rushing inside their cars and heading to where Nadia is taken. “Authorities are already at the scene when Jun arrives. But he did catch up and found Nadia being pulled inside the ambulance, with the instruction to take Nadia to the RD Medical hospital.”Brian explained, on the wheels and hitting the gas while Adriella and her bodyguards are following them close behind. “Call the director of the hospital, and tell him to move quicker than they did before once the ambulance arrived.”Sam added which Brian immediately followed. Calling the hospital director which is under their corporation and the hospital that Adriella is supervising as the Chairman. “Harry.”“Yes.”Harry quickly responded phone at hand and was more than ready for anything that Sam will instruct him to do. Knowing that in this situation, being slow and a bit foo
EYES on the monitor of the widescreen of the computer monitors. Brian is considering every detail after Sam’s instruction and where he is currently. Bugging the employees of the city’s protection and security division with the CCTV footage of the area where Cath is abducted, the chase and before Nadia’s accident, or so was it. “Even how many times you are going to repeat the footage. I already told you that you cannot find anything because all the CCTV in that area is not broken, the quality of the video is blurry and off, and some just suddenly turned off.”The officer and one of the authorities under the said division explain to him in an irritated tone and expression. Brian doesn’t need a psychologist to confirm to him that everything is being fiddled and quickly unlike what they expect from it.“You do know that an authority who is covering for a crime is sentenced to a long prison sentence and worst when evidence is presented to the court.”Brian reminded in a threatening way th
“IT’S him! I am telling you it is all him.”The officer begs and is on his knees. Hand clasp in a prayer way rubbing it as he begs in front of Brian. “You are well aware that, lying will only put you into deeper trouble, right?”Brian taunted the officer. Making sure that he is not being toyed with by him or anything. Especially since he couldn’t trust anyone at this point, added to the fact that the officer’s confession is somewhat too easy for him to have.“I know, I know, and I am not lying or anything. I am telling the truth. I swear to my life that all that I have said is the truth.”The officer insisted, along with his cries that were genuine enough for Brian. “I’ll be taking this one.”Brian took the bundle of cash inside the brown envelope with a glove at hand. “Evidence and two. Now, gave me a copy of the document inside the envelope that you gave to her.”“Do-documents? What documents?”He pretended to not know. The officer that a bit playing with Brian, yet, Brian alread
“HOW foolish I am not to realize this sooner?”Cath blames herself. Torn between what’s right and wrong, and now thinking about her relationship with Sam. “This has gone too far. I shouldn’t have done this stupid assignment in the first place.”Her working regret, and for a while talking herself out of it. But her heart is screaming aloud at her otherwise. “This is not the time to be thinking about this Cath, focus.”She reminds herself and put her mind to the current facts and what she needed to do.“Settle everything once this whole charade is resolved.”The decision that Cath came upon and fast. Holding her phone tight and called Nadia. “I am here at the corner street---”She informs Nadia and waits for her to fetch her up after her encounter with Adriella and the unexpected things that she learns from her. “Alright.”With the confirmation and two, Nadia’s car is almost to where she is when a black van and black tainted windows suddenly stop in front of her. The door of the van
‘RUTH.’The only name that immediately registered inside Cath’s mind. ‘SO, SHE DECIDED TO COME OUT EARLY IN THIS LITTLE GAME OF THEIRS.’Her thoughts and words perfectly describe the right hand of Francis. Expecting Ruth to be in the circle, but not this early.‘DESPERATE?’Cath thinks it to be that way. Weighing the facts and the things that happened so far. ‘NO.’ She immediately protested and connected the dots. ‘SOMEONE ELSE IS BEHIND HER.’The thoughts and deductions that Cath immediately got and is thinking right now. Knowing Francis, he is not the type to jump into reckless things such as this. Knowing and smart enough that they will immediately know that he had something to do with it and is the mastermind behind such. ‘BEING THE GOVERNOR, HE HAD A REPUTATION TO HOLD. INSTRUCTING RUTH FOR THIS LITTLE CHARADE IS UNLIKE HIM AT ALL.’Her deduction and the firm grasp of the idea that there is someone else on Francis's side. But. ‘HOW DID SHE?’Cath wonders, alarmed and deep. In
“NOT a single sound.”Adrenaline rush pumps to Cath’s blood when a hand grabs her from behind and covers her mouth. Drags her into a corner and tightly holds her waist. “Let go!”She fought and right back instantly. Biting that person’s hand immediately let her go. Cath took a step, turns around, and pointed her gun toward the culprit.“Don’t make a move.”Her demand in almost a whisper. When. “Cath.”Surprise and somehow doesn’t want it to be real. Cath immediately drops the gun, teary eyes, and protests. “What are you doing here---”Her words are immediately cut when the same hand grabs her waist and arm pulling her into a tight hug. “I’m sorry. I should have been much more attentive with everything.”Cath’s tears are already falling, while she is trying to stay strong and not completely break out. “But putting yourself in this kind of danger is not a bit acceptable. So, rest assured that I will be punishing you and hard after all of this.”Fear sinks in but not for herself, b
A gunshot is fired, creating a chain reaction that started that exchange. “Cath!”Sam immediately grabs Cath’s arm, pulled her to his chest, and covers her away from the sea of a gunshot that is being exchanged from the opposite direction. “Trust me!”He screams, which left Cath to do what he wanted. Pulling both of them behind a machine and away from the firing range. But Cath drops her gun, which kicks her into fight mode, and pulled away from Sam. “What are you doing, Cath?”Sam protested, but he wasn’t been able to grab a hold of Cath’s arm. Slipping her away from his grasp. Then and there, Cath jumps down with her body to grab her gun. “Damn!”He curses, a bit struggling to stand but adrenaline is pumping all over his body and he immediately caught up to Cath. “Sam, get down!”Cath screams, pulling Sam down and behind her. Gun in her hand she points it toward one of her kidnappers and fired a shot directly unto the head. But the trigger of its gun is already pulled by that k
