William didn't ask any questions or waste any time. He sent his men to the orphanage immediately.
After that, he called Monica and had her meet up with Francesca at the orphanage as quickly as possible.
Francesca didn't want to get William involved in the matter, but it was an emergency. She had no choice and could only ask for his help.
The car zipped down the road. Every single part of Francesca wished that she could be at the orphanage right away.
It was the middle of the night, so there was no traffic. Unfortunately, the distance between the two locations was simply too great. It didn't matter how fast the car traveled. It would still take her some time to get there.
Time trickled by one second after another. It felt as though an eternity had passed before Francesca finally reached the orphanage.
The car swerved beautifully as though it were driven by a racer, but it stopped right at the entrance of the orphanage.
Francesca jumped out of the car.
When she saw what was in front of her, she was dumbfounded.
A few police cars were parked right in front of the entrance, and the police officers had their guns pointed at the door. Everyone seemed to be on high alert, even though the place was strangely quiet.
Just before Francesca reached the place, the police officers used a loudspeaker and tried to negotiate. All they got in return was a rude statement. “Stop talking. If I hear another word out of you, I will kill one of the kids here.”
The police officers turned off the loudspeaker right away and stopped talking entirely.
After that, Chrono replied, “Everyone is to remain quiet now. We'll wait for Francesca Felch to show up. I want to talk to her.”
No one dared to say another word. The only thing they could do was wait outside the orphanage.
A police officer checked out the surrounding area and tried to sneak in, but a gunshot came when he got too close. The kids' panicked screams filled the air soon after.
No one dared to try anything else
after that. Monica also showed up to remind them that the orphanage had security cameras everywhere. Chrono could see everything.
If they tried anything at all, it was likely the guy would go on a murder rampage.
That was why everyone was quietly waiting for Francesca to show up.
“Ms. Felch!” said Monica when she saw Francesca. She hurried over and nervously reported, “Chrono set up a lot of bombs in the orphanage and is holding all the kids as hostages.”
