A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1079

The doctor quickly called the cops, who rushed to the scene in less than ten minutes, for Cordy.

The instant the kidnappers saw the cops, they realized they had been tricked.

They promptly rushed into the emergency room, intent on taking Cordy away, but the cops had already whipped out their guns and cornered them against the wall.

Seeing that the cops had restrained the men, Cordy promptly rushed out of the hospital, dragging Patrick along as she left.

"Miss?!"

The cops called out to them, but they pretended not to hear as they left.

Once out of the hospital, they immediately stopped a cab and told the cabbie, "To the airport, please."

"Okay."

"And please lend us your phone."

"My friend and I were kidnapped and just made it out. I'm calling my family."

The cabbie was skeptical, but he handed his phone to Cordy anyway.

Cordy promptly called Richard. "Hello Dicky?"

"Mommy," the boy sounded like he was on the verge of tears. "Where have you been? Are you in danger?"

After all, she had suddenly gone missing for 24 hours and was now calling with a number he did not recognize!

"No," Cordy said. "I'm safe now and not in danger. It's just some interference, but they meant well. I can't explain everything properly over the phone, and for now, tell Winston to book two plane tickets for me and Patrick to the capital, as well as two cell phones for us. I'll be waiting for him at the airport."

"What happened, Mommy?"

"I don't know the details either, which is why I'm going to the capital to find out."
