Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2784

Percy took it upon himself to drive away alone when he saw that. The other person stayed behind to watch over Pierre.

After Pierre was taken away, Johann left too.

Gordan and Leroy stood at the clinic's door, staring at each other in confusion.

"It’s dawn. Can we go back now?" asked Leroy.

They could have left after dropping off Pierre at the clinic, but they were worried that someone might have heard the gunshots and called the police. If they went back before dawn, they might get caught by the cops.

Even though they were familiar with the surveillance cameras installed around the area, there was always the possibility of a slip-up. They would not be able to explain why they returned at around five o’clock in the morning.

Drinking? They did not smell like alcohol.

They just arrived? They already rented a house.

That was why they decided to wait here until dawn.

“I think so. I’ll just tell them we went for a morning jog,” said Gordan. The excuse of going for a morning jog was a great idea. No one would suspect them if they were stopped by the police.

Most of them jogged alone in the morning. It was impossible to find a witness present at the scene.

The gunshots were heard after five in the morning. They always jogged at five on the dot. They could easily explain their alibi if they went back now.

They jogged back slowly.

Sure enough, a group of police officers had sealed off the area.

Fortunately, their rented house was across the street, so they were not affected by the blockade.

The police stopped them when they saw two men running toward them. "No entry," said the police officer.

"Sir, we're tenants here," Gordan replied with a smile on his face.

The police officer frowned. Tenants? He looked at the two men.

The man who did not speak earlier looked a little sleazy and shady. They could pass off as punks living in the area.

However, the man who spoke to him had an extraordinary aura. Even though there was still a hint of unruliness in his smile, there was an air of sophistication around him. It did not seem like he would live in such a poor area.

"Both of you?" asked the officer.

"Yeah." Leroy acted as if nothing had happened and deliberately asked with curiosity, "Officer, what happened over there? Why is it sealed off?"

"You live here, yet you have no idea what happened?" asked the police officer.

Gordan and Leroy were both good actors. They found themselves exchanging glances with each other, shaking their heads in confusion.

The police officer had not told them anything. He only asked, “Why are you only coming back at this hour?”

"We were on our morning run, as usual," answered Leroy, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Although it was still spring, they were dressed in thick clothing and had already worked up a sweat by the time they jogged back from the clinic.

The police officer noticed the sweat on their foreheads, and it seemed to corroborate their story.

"What time did you start your run?" The police officer still suspected them.

This neighborhood was known for its complicated group of people living here. Fights and brawls were common occurrences, but gunfights were a first...

Also, they had found a cache of weapons in this very house.

Specialists had just arrived to haul the stash away.

This case had already attracted their superiors’ attention. Guns and hand grenades were not things that ordinary people could own or sell in the country. However, they had found so many of them in this raid.

How did these weapons get in? Through what channels? They would need answers.

Moreover, there were two foreigners who were knocked out when they arrived at the scene.

The police officers were almost certain that they were the ones who fired the shots.
