178 Is the auntie dead

BANG!

When shots were fired in this quiet neighborhood, everyone snapped awake at the sharp and alarming sound. Even the officers sleeping in the car jolt into consciousness

Papa!Penny yelled as her breath hitched, watching her father jump away from the door and roll on the ground. Papa!” 

Penny called and ran as fast as she could to her father. She saw the spark but was not sure if Charles was hit or if he was able to dodge it. Either way, shots were fired

Papa!Penny’s breath hitched when she saw Charles get up from the ground. Yet, she still didn’t feel relieved when she saw the door fly open from the inside

Penny and Charles turned to the door, and despite the lack of light in the street, they could see the speck of blood all across the man. The man was still wearing the same clothes as the one he had this morning. However, he was drenched with sweat and blood 

from him

blood that didn’t seem 

No,Penny breathed out when the man pointed the improvised gun at Charles

Hey!” 

Just then, the officers in the area shouted. Upon seeing them, the man retrieved the gun and hissed through his gritted teeth

Fuck!the man shouted and fled, running away from them as fast as he could

The officer immediately called for backup again, informing the other officers about the 

development after the shots were fired. Penny, on the other hand, rushed to her father’s side

Papa!Penny sat beside Charles, helping him sit up. Papa, are you okay?” 

Charles winced a bit and peeked at her. Penny, I told you to get back in the car.” 

She pressed her lips and yelled, How can I not come back when I heard the gunfire?!” 

For a second, Charles flinched because she reminded him of Allison so suddenly. However, seeing the conflict and many unspoken words swirling in her eyes, he sighed

I’m okay,he said with a subtle smile. Good thing I was able to break the door and saw him. Papa is fine, Penny. See? I’m okay!” 

Charles raised his arms to show her he was perfectly fine. However, he winced a little as his shoulder ached a bit

Well, maybe I’m only ninety perfectly fine, he laughed awkwardly

At this time, one of the officers reached them. Sir, are you okay?” 

Uh, yes. Charles nodded and then he was reminded of what he had seen inside. Check the house! His wife is still there. Check if she’s still aliv ” 

He hit hie tonmie realizing Penny was there to hear him Slowly he turned his head to Pennu 12.03

Despite stopping abruptly, the officer nodded in understanding. He turned to the other incoming officers, pointing at the father and daughter. When the other officers reached them, the first officer went inside the house to check the situation

Much to his horror, the first thing he saw was a pair of feet peeking out from the kitchen 

counter

When the officer got into the house, Penny had a glimpse of what was inside the house. She didn’t see the person in the kitchen, but she saw how the place was turned upside down. She also saw blood all over the place and a butler knife just lying around

It was horrifying

However, the officers ushered her and Charles away from the scene. More police, medics, and even detectives arrived at the scene shortly after

Sitting at the back of the ambulance, one of the medics tended to Charlesscars. He wasn’t lying when he said he wasn’t shot not even a graze

He’s a terrible shooter, Charles joked, only to stop when Penny glared at him. He laughed awkwardly as he faced his daughter. He he. Penny” 

Papa, why would go there on your own?!Penny harrumphed, knowing she would never forgive herself if something terrible happened to him

Charles chuckled and coaxed her. Don’t worry, Penny. Dad knows what he’s doing. You might not know this, but your dad was really good when I was young. Hugo will be shocked

Even so, she wasn’t appeased, looking at him with conflict in her eyes. She was both frustrated. and scared, knowing if things ended differently, Charles wouldn’t even have the time to joke like this. InsteadPenny couldn’t even imagine

Ah, thank goodness!” Suddenly, a person turned up in front of Penny and Charles. The father and daughter faced the person

Penny furrowed her brows, feeling like she had seen him before. However, she couldn’t tell where and when exactly. The man gazed at Penny and furrowed his brows

Hey” 

When Charles called, the man snapped his eyes at him. He quickly cleared his throat and straightened his back, surprising Penny when he suddenly saluted Charles

Major, I’m glad you’re okay,” said the man, earning an irritated look from Charles

You don’t have to do that, Angelo. You’re shocking my daughter. Charles waved irritably. Did you find him?” 

178 is the auntie dead

Ahem.” The man, Angelo, cleared his throat and his eyes fell on the adorable girl. Major, this is your daughter? The missing one?” 

Charles rolled his eyes, but before he could say anything, he sensed Penny’s gaze on him
