After making a call, the police immediately arrived at the scene and began various investigations, including accessing surveillance footage.
The waiting time was torturous and chilling as if the air was frozen. Huston wore an unprecedentedly unpleasant expression. The thought of Lucas being in danger made him feel uneasy.
The minutes dragged on like half a century, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was tense and fragile until a police officer approached and handed Huston an electronic file. "Mr. Lloyd, the side entrance surveillance captured the child's figure being carried by a woman and taken into a white Volkswagen sedan. The license plate number is 3895. The car left through the back gate of the residential area and merged into the traffic on the main road. The subsequent surveillance footage will take some time to track down."
Huston listened quietly, memorizing the license plate number in his mind. "Investigate the owner of the vehicle and inform me of the final destination as soon as possible. If you can't find it, let me know where the surveillance was lost."
"Yes, sir!"
After the police officer left, Evelyn anxiously approached. "How's it going? Any news?"
"They found the car that the child got into. It's not difficult to find the owner. We have to wait a bit longer."
Upon hearing that they had to wait, Evelyn's heart tightened, and Lucy sat on the couch, silently shedding tears and blaming herself internally. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken Lucas downstairs, or if I had held his hand all the time, this wouldn't have happened. He’s still so young. It's all my fault..."
After spending two days together, Lucy had developed an emotional bond with the child. He had even started calling her "grandma." Now that the child had disappeared under her watch, She hated not being able to suffer for the baby herself.
Huston's heart ached, but there was no blame in his gaze as he looked at Lucy. "Aunt, you don't need to worry. I will find the child safely. This was a well-planned act that couldn't have been prevented."
He just didn't understand who dared to kidnap Lucas.
