Never Late, Never Away Chapter 763
“Hello. Are you Jeffrey Watson?” Benedict instantly asked, cutting to the chase.
If it was him, then Benedict would continue the conversation. If it wasn’t, then he would leave and start his search all over again. He didn’t have any time to waste.
“Yes, I am.” Jeffrey stared up at the men in confusion.
From Jeffrey’s point of view, he hadn’t done anything wrong. So why had they shown up at his doorstep?
“This is an emergency, so let’s get to the point.” Benedict quickly explained what he came here for as soon as he knew that he had found the correct person.
“Did you take a passenger to Coast Haven today?” Noah frantically asked as soon they had been let inside.
“Yeah, I did take one passenger there,” Jeffrey replied without thinking too much about it.
“I remember him because Coast Haven is desolate and nearly abandoned. Very few people want to go there.”
“What did he look like? Do you know how old he was?” Noah pressed on, not even letting Benedict get a word in.
“It… It was a little kid. And quite a handsome young boy at that.” Jeffrey tried his best to recall that day.
Come to think of it, the incident had been strange. Only a handful of passengers had asked to be driven to Coast Haven in the past few years, so why did a little boy, of all people, ask to go there?
He had only agreed to take the little boy there because the boy had paid him a large sum of money.
A lightbulb lit up inside Jeffrey’s head.
Why do these men come looking for me? Are they here to seek revenge because something bad happened to the boy?
“Kid? Mr. Morrison… what kid?” Noah turned to Benedict, perplexed.
“You saw a little boy? Did the boy get on the car by himself?” Benedict knew that the kid had to be Larry, but he couldn’t understand why Larry had wanted to go to Coast Haven.
