Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1812

“Has he arrived?” the man asked.

Joan softly replied, “Yes.”

To her surprise, the man silently walked aside and turned on his laptop. From his well-coordinated actions, she knew he must be an experienced criminal.

After looking at the screen for some time, the man switched his laptop off. He had a satisfied expression on his face.

“Good. Your friend didn’t call the police. He’s here alone with the luggage,” the foreigner noted, stroking his beard.

It turned out that he had installed surveillance cameras at the warehouse. He had moved to another place because he wanted to see if Dustin would really come alone with the money. What a cunning man!

Joan looked at the man warily. “What happens next? Are you really gonna let me go?”

“Don’t worry; I will keep my word as long as I get the money. You’re pretty, but I prefer the money,” the man remarked pensively as though he was thinking about something.

“Call him and ask him to leave the money in the safe in a small hut along Tank Road,” the man said, lifting Joan’s chin.

The woman did as she was told and informed Dustin of the location change.

Ring!

This time, the man’s phone rang instead of Joan’s. “Speaking,” the man said sparingly.

“Is it done?”

“Yes. Everything went as planned,” the foreigner replied.

Judging from the man’s tone, Joan guessed he must be talking to the mastermind of her kidnap.

Although she could not hear the voice from the other end, she conjectured that the culprit must be a woman since the man sounded less brutish when talking over the phone.
