"Hmm." Joyce saw his serious face and got even more nervous with it.
The heavy smell of smoke choked her and made her want to cough. Her eyes were irritated and her vision got blurry. She couldn't help but glance at Karl, who was so calm and collected. Breathing the same bad air, he didn't look different at all. No wonder he was a detective.
Karl led Joyce through two alleyways to get closer to the incident.
He took out his cell phone, dialed Officer Franklin's number and instructed.
"Franklin, I'm in the clock tower at 213,415. I need a SWAT squad for reinforcement, in civilian clothes, never to be recognized. And not one more. Otherwise Victor's life will be in danger."
"Copy that." Franklin responded immediately.
Karl hung up the phone.
Not being able to use the police department's satellite platform was a real pain in the ass. He could only fight alone. Because even if the reinforcement really got to the location he mentioned just now, he would have gone somewhere else long ago. They would not be able to work together this way. The reason why he called for a SWAT squad was that he wanted to save Victor's life.
Now, the even trickier question in front of him was that he didn’t know where Victor was.
Suddenly, there seemed to be some unusual movement from around the corner not far away.
With an unprecedented sense of danger, he subconsciously took Joyce into his arms and darted her along with him into an old building, and hid in the small space under the stairs.
Joyce hardly dared to breathe as she leaned against Karl's chest. His body was so hot and close that she could even hear his strong, powerful heartbeat, which was growing faster and faster, and gradually becoming disorganized.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the "ta-da" footsteps sounded after them. The steps sounded heavy, so it was certainly a man.
The man glanced around and then walked into the house.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
