“Yes, Jasper!” Julian replied courteously and pulled out his phone to dial a number. “Captain Vaughn, you can bring your team up now.”
With that, Julian hung up the phone.
Faced with this scene, both of Zayden’s and Sirius’ expressions changed.
Especially Sirius, whose unease had reached new heights.
“What’s happening? What weird trick do you have up your sleeve this time?”
As franticness and unease overwhelmed him, Zayden glared at Jasper and growled.
“Standing at different angles gives you a different scenery. Would you be interested in coming over here to see what my view looks like?” Jasper asked.
Zayden clenched his jaw and scoffed. “I do indeed want to see just what kind of bullsh*t you’re spouting this time. Don’t try to play me, there’s no way I’d—”
Zayden then arrived beside Jasper mid-speech and looked down the building from the window.
At the same time, police sirens broke through the silence of the night and the hidden police cars all lit their flashing lights. They had all driven out of the area they had been hiding behind and arrived below the building.
Through the red and blue flashing lights, Zayden saw a large group of uniformed officers form an orderly line before entering the building.
Zayden swallowed the rest of his words at the sight in front of him.
“What’s the meaning of this, Jasper?!” Zayden looked at Jasper in terror and roared.
“The fire at the Southface River construction site is a case of great importance to both the city and provincial government right now. The officials are doing everything they can to solve the crime, and it’s only right for a victim like me to inform them when I’ve found the arsonist. After all, I have no right to punish them myself.”
