Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 54

He seemed to lose all his bearings, and turned her around to check her back. A pool of rufous blood greeted his eyes with her clothes torn and her body badly mangled.

Behind his back, Tyler stood up slowly, with a hideous and twisted face, spitting out a mouthful of blood and a tooth stuck with flesh and blood.

Glowering at Edgar, he dashed towards him and tried to kick him as he was checking on Molly with his back against him.

"Watch out!" Molly shouted out when she noticed him from the corner of her eyes, but it was too late to remind Edgar.

Plump! Tyler landed a kick on his shoulder before he could react.

"Ow!" Edgar cried in agony, crouching on the ground.

"Edgar!" Molly screamed. Meanwhile, Tyler raised up his fist trying to land another blow.

Edgar pushed Molly aside, and flung back his head to avoid Tyler's attack. He then straightened his back, and glared at his furious and bloody eyes. This time, he decided to fight Tyler with all the strength he could muster.

The two men fought furiously inside the small tin-sheet house, making a great deal of noise. Crouching on the floor, Molly stared at them anxiously, completely strung up.

As the fight increased in fury and heat, the air was suddenly pierced by the sound of police sirens growing louder and louder.

Hearing the sirens, Tyler tried to give Edgar one last kick before fleeing, but failed again. "You'll pay for this!" he said as he stepped back. "Sooner or later, I will get you!"

He gave Molly an evil glance and ran off as fast as he could. Right after he had left the room, Bill walked in with a lollipop in his mouth, followed by some policemen.

Bill looked around as he stepped into the room. "Where is Tyler?" he asked, taking the lollipop out.

Edgar glared at him, wiping off the blood stain from his lips, and replied impassively,"You should have come earlier."

Just then, the sheriff came in. With a glance at Molly, he signalled his subordinates to go check on Molly. He himself went towards Edgar and said,"Someone reported an abduction in here. Were you involved in it?"

"Yes, Sir. But I was the victim in the fight. The man you are looking for took off," Edgar replied calmly.

The sheriff frowned upon hearing that and, with a look of total disbelief, told him,"I'll need you to come to the police station with us," he said.

"And that girl too. Bring them both!" the sheriff said to the policeman who was untying Molly, while the others searched around the house.

Edgar stood still, with no intention of obeying his order.

"Excuse me, sir! Shouldn't you go and catch the bad guy instead of taking the good ones away?" Bill stepped forward with an inquiring face.

"He is the one who saved me, sir," Molly added as she wrapped herself in Edgar's coat. Her face was pale in shock.

"No matter who you are or what you did, you still have to come to the police station and record a statement, all of you," the sheriff said coldly.
