Matt was away for quite a long time, he prepared Amy some food and drinks and placed them on the bedside.
Amy felt disappointed and hopeless staying in the darkroom, was this how she would spend the remaining of her life?
Stay hidden here felt like being imprisoned, not to mention that she couldn't see, escaping here seemed to be a dream that could never come true.
Amy touched and explored the entire place where she was and found that it was a room without a window in the basement. She walked for a while but didn't know where should she head to. Finally, she chose to go back and stayed by the bed. There was no one to talk to, it was complete silence, dark and cold.
Kingsley lead a team followed by Jamie and the others and searched the entire suburban of R City but failed to locate Amy.
“So how? Did they kill Amy? We couldn’t locate her anywhere, have you ask William?” Jamie asked Kingsley.
“Yes, I did. He said he didn’t know anything. He greeted Amy and offered her a ride but was rejected, so she drove away alone. But Amy’s car is still parked in the car park and her mobile is turned off.” Kingsley had done everything he could and check all information he had.
“I’ve checked. Amy’s car drove out for a while but appeared at the entrance of the car park out of nowhere. The guard saw that the car blocks the entrance, so he park it inside the car park. This means, it was the guard that parks the car, and no one knows how it appeared at the entrance. We can’t even find out anything from the CCTV recording.” Kevin had a thorough check too, but he couldn’t find out how the car appeared out of nowhere at the car park.
Another thing that made them worried was Richard, who was still missing until now, it had been days, he was a simpleton, what if something happened to him or someone cheated him? What should they tell Cathy? A lot had happened to the Carter family these days.
“Oh yeah, there is a conference scheduled this afternoon. I suspect one of them, let’s see if this person will show up, if he didn't, he should be the suspect.” Kingsley told everyone after some thoughts.
“I suspect the same person too. He mentioned a business trip to another city a few days ago but someone saw him lingering around an abandoned building.” Andy recalled something too.
“Let’s stop all the search right now and wait until the conference this afternoon.” Kevin could guess who they were talking about, but one shouldn’t conclude too early.
The afternoon conference was just around the corner. It was a conference that required attendance from all legal personnel from huge corporations in R City. It was also a conference that symbolized one’s status in R City, no one would be absent for no reason.
Andy, Kingsley, and Kevin arrived at the venue and each took their designated seat which was not far from the other. They looked at one particular seat with a name on it, he hadn't arrived yet.
Many other people arriving at the venue but one particular seat was still empty. The wait made Andy and the rest nervous.
The conference had finally begun, the official host was the first one to deliver the speech. As Andy was about to make a call via his mobile, someone came in in a rush and took that particular empty seat they had been monitoring, he even apologized for being late due to a gas problem with his car.
His present put question marks on everyone. He was here and where did he came from was also questionable. Kingsley immediately instructed his men to check where Matt came from.
