So these people…….
Jamie Moore promptly lowers her head, afraid that these people will notice the fear and doubt in her eyes. She clenches her lower lip between her pearly white teeth, while her heart beats as if it will thump out of her throat. She should calm down, and when she finally does, she has no communication tools at her disposal. And even if she did, it would be impossible to call Dan William under the scrutiny of the two pair of eyes. And this car has been driving for so long already, she fears……She really wants to hit herself. How could she believe Jozo?
No, she has to find a way to get out of the car.
“Oh, how long will it take to get there? My stomach hurts.” Jamie Moore suddenly cries out as she covers her abdomen before curling up in her seat in agony.
The two men in the driver’s seat look at each other, and start talking quietly.
“Do you want to stop so she can go to the bathroom?”
“Are you stupid? Can you take on the consequences if she is faking it?”
“It doesn’t look like she is. Besides, she doesn’t know who we are, what’s there to afraid of?”
“Are you sure? It’s better not to take any risks. We’ll arrive in about ten minutes, then we can let her go”.
With a nod to each other, they say to Jamie Moore, “I’m sorry Miss, can you hold on for ten more minutes?”
When she sees that her plan is not working, she doesn’t continue her faking. Instead, she ferociously bites her lip and sits down by the door before breaking off the door light.
“Stop the car! I’ll jump if you don’t stop!”
The man in the passenger seat gives the driver a look that clearly says “see, she was faking it”.
“Miss, stop joking. We’re on the highway, if you jump you’ll probably lose your arms and legs”. The man in the driver’s seat coldly says to her.
Highway? No wonder they are going so fast.
After finishing up with his clients, Dan William returns to his manor at about six in the evening. Just as he enters, Bunny comes down the stairs.
“Welcome home, Daddy.”
“Darling.” Dan William says as he hugs Bunny’s soft little body and kisses him on his beautiful and soft small face. Bunny’s face turns red, since there are still many servants around and his image can plummet. "Daddy, hasn’t Mommy come back with you?" Bunny asks, finding it very strange that he doesn’t see Jamie Moore. Because when his mommy goes to the company, she always come back with his father after work. So why aren’t they together today?
“Hasn’t mommy come back yet?” Dan William asks with a frown. Looking at the retro style clock on the wall, he sees that it is already six forty. Usually when it’s so late, and she hasn’t returned, Jamie Moore gives him a call to let him know. And she is always on time for dinner. With this thought, Dan William feels the unease in the bottom of his heart increase. Putting down Bunny, he takes his phone from his pocket to give Jamie Moore a call.
But it is turned off.
Jamie Moore……except for an empty battery, his phone wouldn’t have turned off so easily. The space between Dan William’s eyebrows skips a few times before he dials a number. The person he is calling is in charge of the Trade and Commerce building on CR Street. The place where Jamie Moore went shopping today must be there.
The logo of CR will be blue. The moment the phone call connects, Dan William asks the person in charge to check the surveillance camera videos from two to six o’clock this afternoon and send them to his computer before hanging up. Seeing Dan William, Bunny’s expression is imposing and fierce as he now knows that the situation is very bad.
