“The daughter of the Goldstein family? Let me take a look!” When the guard read the newspaper, I took the opportunity to run as fast as possible. “Go on and take a look. I really have something urgent going on.”
“Hey! Wait for a moment!”
Ignoring the guard’s yells, I rushed to the building’s top floor as I remembered Dylan saying that Darius’ office was on that floor with pretty flowers placed right by his office door.
After coming out of the elevator, I stopped for a moment to catch my breath. I looked around and saw two flower pots placed by a door. However, as I was going to knock on the door, which was ajar, I overheard the conversation inside. Darius was on the phone; his words were enough to make me stop in my track.
“Have you not found him yet? I thought Chris was at Mapleton, a town with less than ten thousand residents. How could you only find his phone and not him? I don’t care what you do, but locate him immediately! After all, you’re professional mercenaries, so you must spot him before the others do!”
It seemed that Darius knew all about it, for Mapleton was the place Dylan had mentioned to me before. This meant that Chris and Zachary must have gone missing for a couple of days. The call that Darius made earlier must have been about this matter as well.
Immediately, my heart lurched in my throat. What a horrible situation he must be in, having gotten shot and disappeared for a few days!
“Sean, I’m counting on you. I’m begging you to please bring him back!” Darius continued for some while, but my mind blanked out. The only thing I could think about was Christopher being hunted down.
“I’ve finally found you. I can’t believe you dared to make a fool out of me. Get out of here right now. Even if you are the daughter of the Goldstein family, you don’t have the right to visit Mr. Lane as you wish.” The bodyguard walked over and started to drag me out of the building.
