Hannah nodded gravely, "Yes, suicide! No one expected that he had poison on him. After we caught him, on the way to the station, he took the poison."
"Damn...it's like straight out of a spy movie," I remarked. All three shrugged and chuckled.
"But what's weird is, we can't trace his real identity."
"Why not?" I asked, baffled. The police couldn't find out someone's identity? That was news to me.
Hannah clarified, "More precisely, we found too many identities for him, all of them foreign. And Bald is just one of his temporary henchmen. So, Bald doesn't know who at the top gave the order to this driver. Furthermore, Bald and this driver were just a temporary team as they hadn't met before!"
"The question is, who gave Bald the order to cooperate with the driver?" I voiced my doubt.
Hannah was equally puzzled, "The one who called Bald to carry out the task, was this driver!"
Gevena remarked, "It seems like what you've been suspecting, Aaliyah, is true. Haven't you always felt like there's a hidden hand pushing everything?"
I fell silent, was there another instigator besides the Dawson family? But I was certain, this mole, must be from the Dawson family, especially Jerome!
"What I still don't get is, from the beginning, how did you find out I was kidnapped?" I asked eagerly. I was desperate to know, who kidnapped me, and why?
Catherine interjected, "Can we talk while eating, please? Aren't you hungry? You've been unconscious for two days, how do you still have energy? Are you a camel?"
I smiled helplessly and quickly replied, "If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't have noticed. I am indeed hungry! Alright then, let's eat first."
Hannah hastily took the takeout box from Catherine, and apologized, "I'll do it! It's my fault for not taking better care of you, Miss!"
