“Yes,” Pierre answered with a nod as he stared at the document blankly, his thoughts running wild.
While Selena was thinking of ways, she suddenly received a call from an unknown number. “Hi, am I speaking with Ms. Selena Yard? Do you want to know about the whereabouts of the child?” The caller on the other end asked with a voice changer, making Selena fully alert. “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am. All you have to tell me is if you want to know the whereabouts of the child. If you do, I might tell you something.”
Trying to maintain her composure, Selena asked, “Are you the kidnapper? What are you planning to do?”
“Well, I’m not planning anything. Today at midnight, come alone to the hut in the small forest on Gastner Street without telling anyone. Look for the answer there yourself, but remember everything I said, or you’ll just find his body!”
Almost instantly, the caller hung up, leaving Selena shouting into the phone. “Hello? Hello!”
Biting her lip, she looked at the number and saw that it was a hidden number. Looks like this person has planned everything well. But should I go or not? What if it’s a trap? she pondered over it, caught in a dilemma. What if it isn’t a trap and I can really find clues to Jamie’s whereabouts?
Even if it was one chance out of a hundred, or even a hundred million, she couldn’t miss this opportunity! Initially, she thought of telling this to John, but she knew that he wouldn’t be able to calm down and might come up with the wrong plan or even spoil the plan because he was too anxious. That would be bad, then.
Hence, she had to go alone. Even if it might be a burning pit, she had to jump in to find out! After she had reached a decision, she looked for Linda and gave her some tasks before taking a look at Juniper whom she hadn’t seen for days.
