“That’s also the reason why I don’t want to get back with her.”
“But, she saved me during the fire!”
“I know, I knew that you would say that, but what if I told you, that she is the reason why it even happened?”
“What???”
“You know that those hotels are built in a traditional way, everything in there is stable enough, there is no way that it would just suddenly break down, so I already knew that time that she wanted you dead.”
Kevin is listening to what Jonathan is explaining to him, and feels as if a cold wind has hit him.
“But, why would she save me?”
“Save you? That’s not what she did. She was outside to take a phone call, and then she got back inside. Do you remember if you heard anything weird?”
“What goes around comes back around?”
“Bingo.” Jonathan nods his head, “That is the reason why she saved you.”
Kevin is not even more confused, “What exactly is it?”
“To put it easy, she killed the wrong guy, the person she was supposed to get close to was not even you.”
“Because I was standing right next to you all the time, but I didn’t have the chance to speak.”
Jonathan finishes his sentence, and turns on the light, showing his face that is covered with scars, “Because at that time, my mouth was taped shut.”
Kevin is still confused, and his head filled with questions, “But it was just Bella alone, could she have done all this?”
Jonathan is looking at him, “Who told you it was just her alone?”
“Then tell me, what kind of person is Bella?”
“She is the eldest daughter of the Hawkins family.”
“If this is the only bit of sincerity you are going to show, I cannot tell you.”
Jonathan has no way out, he cannot tell Kevin about it, but he also not convince him.
“All I can tell you is, if you keep checking her, it’s not helping any of us.”
“Okay, I don’t care about that right now, do you have any lead on Sunny?”
Jonathan knows something, so he nodded his head, “There is a old factory on the other side of L Mountain.”
“Last question. Do the PY Gangsters use poison? The ones that work really fast, and when the person is dead, it only looks like a heart attack?”
Jonathan shakes his head, “That I don’t know, because I am not with them.”
Even though Kevin hasn’t found out anything that could help his case, but at least now he knows where Sunny is being held, it seems to be a step into the right direction.
“Thank you, then, I am going to go and save my girlfriend now, please let me through.”
But Jonathan doesn’t move, “I am sorry, I cannot let you go.”
Kevin is wondering, “Why?”
“Because of me.”
A voice comes from the entrance door, and Kevin immediately knows who it is, “Bro!”
Ellison’s face expression looks complex, he stands by the door, and sighs, then he walks into the room, “Yeah.”
“Why don’t you let me go!”
“Because I need to make sure that you are safe. Let me handle things with Sunny, and you just stay here.”
“Ellison, that isn’t fair, I wanna go too.”
Ellison looks at him for a moment, “Sure, you can, but ask yourself if your health can hold up with this.”
“I can, believe me...”
Ellison doesn’t even give him the chance, and demands for Irene to come inside to look after him.
Kevin doesn’t know what else to do, so he closed his eyes and pretends to be asleep.
When Irene leaves the room, Kevin opens his eyes suddenly, he is not even tired at all. He looks at the door, and has an idea.
When Irene comes back to bring Kevin some lunch, she notices that he is gone, and the window is open.
“Oh no! Mister Quinn ran off!”
This moment, Ellison, who is on the way to L Mountain, receives a call from Irene.
“What is wrong, Irene? Did something happen to Kevin?”
“Sir, it’s all my fault, I didn’t watch him well enough...”
Ellison hears what Irene is saying, and can already guess what Kevin has done.
So he comforts Irene, “It’s alright, I will check on the way and see if I can find him, you don’t have to worry.”
“Okay, Mr. Quinn, I will wait for your message.”
Irene hangs up the phone, she couldn’t distract him from driving the car.
After Ellison hangs up the phone, he throws the cell on to the other seat.
