Hearing what Joyce Lawson said, Melody Summers was a little confused, but she didn’t press the matter.
She helped Joyce Lawson sit down on the sofa and asked with concern, "...By the way, Mona, where is the rest of your family? Your mother and your brother?"
When Melody Summers first came in, she had seen Titus Lowell carrying Joyce Lawson’s father, while Joyce and her grandmother were tied up together. She really had no idea what was going on.
Joyce Lawson collected herself and told Melody Summers everything her family had endured that night...
"...Those two robbers must live next door in 1603. I’ve borrowed a flatbed cart from them before. I have no idea how they got through our digital lock..."
After hearing Joyce Lawson’s story, Melody Summers thought for a moment, then frowned and asked, "So, you’re saying your mother and brother were likely taken to 1603?"
Joyce Lawson thought for a moment, then nodded. "I think so... I just don’t know how many other accomplices they have in 1603."
"I just heard the robber in the living room mention a ’Big Bro’ and ’Second Bro.’ I think they might be three brothers, which means there’s probably another one in 1603..."
At this thought, Joyce Lawson gripped Melody Summers’s hand nervously. "Summers, should we call the police?"
Melody Summers shook her head. "It’s no use, Mona. Given the weather, the police won’t be able to make it..."
The snow outside had already buried the second floor, and the temperature had dropped to over fifty degrees below zero. Every building unit was like an isolated island—no one could get in, and no one could get out.
’It’s probably because they know the police can’t come,’ Melody Summers thought, ’that these people from 1603 are so brazen, breaking in and attacking people like this...’
Looking at Drake Lowell lying on the living room floor, Joyce Lawson murmured, "So... what are we going to do with these two robbers..."
Joyce Lawson asked the question, but in her heart, she already knew the answer.
’The police won’t be able to come for months.’
’Titus Lowell and Drake Lowell were willing to commit murder during a home invasion. That means they’re utterly ruthless.’
’If we just let them go, they’ll be a massive threat to everyone in the building!’
’At the very least, when they wake up, they’ll definitely come after 1601 and 1606 for revenge.’
’The best thing to do now is to give them a taste of their own medicine... and get rid of them.’
...
Joyce Lawson and Melody Summers talked in the living room for a while. In the bedroom, Mason Lawson, who had been waiting for them to return, eventually fell asleep from the sheer stress.
In his sleep, Mason Lawson suddenly felt a bone-chilling gust of wind. The cold jolted him awake.
Mason Lawson groggily opened his eyes to see the window in front of him wide open. Melody Summers and Joyce Lawson were working together, lifting Titus Lowell’s limp body.
Then, the two of them threw Titus Lowell’s body out the window!
Watching them, Mason Lawson froze for a moment.
When he realized what they had done, Mason Lawson’s pupils contracted. ’They worked together to kill the robber!’
’He was utterly shocked. He never thought his daughter, who had always been so gentle, would dare to kill someone!’
Just then, Joyce Lawson closed the window and turned to look at Mason Lawson.
