The last time we went with those parents to visit the farm, it had been an absolute blast. We had almost torn down the whole place.
Before I could respond to her request, Atlas was already ruffling her little head indulgently. "Don't worry. I’ll make sure to invite your classmates to the farm for another round of fun."
Ava cheered excitedly then ran off to share the good news with Jenny.
As we left, I saw her rushing into her great-grandma's arms, chattering away about something.
Atlas's phone rang at that moment, and he answered as he walked.
I watched Atlas's face as he took the call. When his expression gradually grew serious, I knew something must have happened.
Even Lauren looked at Atlas, and we exchanged glances.
After he hung up, he said, "Get in the car. We're going to the hospital."
"The hospital?" Puzzled, I grabbed Lauren and followed Atlas to his car.
Once in the car, I asked Atlas what was going on.
He told me, "Things have changed. It seems Liora has suddenly acted against Melanie, but she didn’t do it in person. Liora has gone missing."
"What? Missing?" Lauren and I exclaimed simultaneously. It was hard to believe.
"Somebody disguised themselves as her, went to the construction site, and called Melanie away. Our people mistook the imposter for Liora and didn't intervene. There was a car accident later. Melanie was severely injured, and the person disguised as Liora has died. Melanie has been taken to the hospital. We need to go there immediately."
Now I understood what was going on.
Melanie couldn't die right now. She was a key witness.
Many pieces of evidence wouldn't be strong enough if something happened to her.
"How do we know Liora is missing?" Lauren asked anxiously.
"Our people sensed that something was wrong and rushed back to Liora's residence, but they found it empty. Liora was nowhere to be seen," Atlas explained.
