Chapter 314
With that. Gigi pressed on the gas pedal and raced away while Anthony reignited his engine and followed
her.
The cars went toward the city, but before they entered the city gates, the cars stopped in front of a few buildings.
Gigi got down from her car and walked toward the alley. Charmine and Anthony followed swiftly behind her.
The thunderstorms rumbled through the skies with occasional bolts of lightning spearing the heavens. It was only with those bolts could Charmine see a ruined area with a river laid behind the buildings through the alley
It was hard to believe that there was such a run-down area in Burlington, left underdeveloped. The buildings looked well-maintained upfront, yet hidden behind those buildings was an abandoned area with untrimmed, overgrown grass.
Johnson was in this area, Charmine could feel it.
As expected, there was an abandoned bridge by the river that led to a hub with a metal door. Walking closer, they could hear voices coming from inside.
Charmine frowned. No wonder Kay and his men could not find this even after they had searched the entire perimeter. Who would have thought there was such a place behind all these buildings.
She said to Gigi, “Wait for me here. I’ll go and have a look.”
“No. I’m involved in this, and I want to solve this myself as closure. Only come to help me when you see! can’t fight back.”
With that, Gigi walked toward the bridge.
Lightning and thunderstorms filled the air, but Gigi’s small and frail figure remained determined. Charmine could feel a change in her; Gigi was no longer the innocent, next-door-neighbor kind of girl as rumored. She turned into a warrior, ready to seize back her land.
Charmine stayed back and stood behind a tree as she looked on. Anthony stood next to her, ready for action.
