Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 192

The police showed up at the hospital room pretty quickly, but sadly, they didn't have any good news to share.

"Those men are on the run right now, each with at least three murders to their name. We can't figure out why they targeted Ms. Clara since there's no connection between them and her. It might be a hit job," the officer explained.

Quinn suddenly chimed in, "Maybe she just ticked off the wrong person. She's always been kind of... proud."

Noticing everyone was staring at her, she quickly clammed up, tears starting to fall again.

Naomi added, "Clara's never been one to mince words. She's always had this superior attitude, even with everyday folks. None of the family's staff liked her much. Quinn might be right; she could've just rubbed someone the wrong way."

The officers exchanged glances and sighed. "We're still looking into it. The fugitives moved fast and made it to Mexico. We can't pursue them there, so unless they come back on their own, this case might just stall."

Simon immediately got anxious. "What about Clara?"

The officer hesitated for a second before replying, "These criminals are extremely dangerous and good at covering their tracks. We'll do everything we can to find her, but there are still several victims whose bodies haven't been recovered. You should brace yourselves for the worst."

Johnny was swaying lightly and nearly fainted upon hearing this.

Quinn quickly steadied him, her voice shaky with emotion. "Dad, don't lose hope. The police are just preparing us for the worst. Maybe Clara's okay."

Naomi watched her working hard, sighing as she took her hand. "Quinn, thank goodness you're here with us."

Quinn gave a small, cautious smile. "Mom, we're family. It's what we do."

A couple of hours later, Ryan finally came to. The first thing out of his mouth was, "Clara!"

He then noticed the people around him and quickly grabbed Quinn's hand. "Quinn, have you seen Clara?"

Quinn's eyes filled with tears instantly. She gently patted his head. "Just focus on getting better first."
