A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 537

The apartment was so quiet everyone could hear their own breathing.

At the same time, they heard nothing amid the suffocating silence as they were thoroughly focused.

The phone suddenly rang, jolting everyone.

The slightest commotion seemed to make everyone nervous now!

They watched as John answered the phone, saying calmly, "Randy."

Cordy bit her lip—so it was not Jessica.

She was now on the verge of falling apart.

She would rather Jessica contact them, and she was willing to do everything Jessica asked.

She had had enough of this endless searching and waiting. She needed to know that Dicky was fine!

"Found him?" John's voice turned quiet as he seeked confirmation.

Cordy's heart raced right then, and she turned in anticipation toward John and saw that his hand was shaking even as he held her phone.

"Yes, we did—that's why I'm reporting in," Randy reported. "We tracked him through security cameras using a photo of his disguised appearance. We calculated that he's now in an abandoned warehouse in the southern district, but we don't dare to stay for long, in fear he would catch on."

"Don't move. I'm coming right over," John said right then and hung up.

"I'm coming with you," Cordy said, determined.

John stared at her for a moment.

"Okay," he eventually said, and he turned toward Bob and Sam. "Wait for me here. I'll call if anything comes up."

"Okay," they both answered at once, and John left with Cordy.

The skies were already dark, and there were three black cars and over ten bodyguards waiting outside Cordy's apartment entrance.

Cordy did not know when John arranged for them to be there, nor did she care just then.
