â372 The Fight kidnapped her.â
âWhat? k*â****â**g?â Wayne asked.
Jasper wiped the blood from the corer of his mouth and said grimly, âDonât play dumb. Anna has been missing for the entire day!
She only met you this afternoon and didnât go anywhere, Where have you been hiding her?â
Wayne was alarmed when he remembered the nurse saying Anna hadnât been to the hospital all day.
The cops arrived and asked the man next to them about what had happened. When the sergeant saw the chaos, he exclaimed, âThis is a large group brawl.â
The officers then took everyone at the scene, including Wayne and Jasper, back to the police station to make statements.
This police station was in charge of the situation when Wayne hid Tammy at the Amusement Park a few days before. Wayne was well- known, so the cops were all familiar with him. Everyone appeared nervous and unsure of what to do when they saw him again.
With difficulty, the young cop who took his statement said, âItâs me again, Mr. Wright. Iâm not going to ask you for basic information right now, so please explain what this is all about again today.â
âYou should ask them about it! âm curious as well.â With a frown, Wayne said. Heâd been wondering where Anna had gone the entire time. Also, he was confident that Jasper would not screw him over for nothing. But he had no idea why Anna had gone missing all day.
âOkay, Iâll ask them,â the officer said after a brief pause. After a while, he returned and said, âHe said you kidnapped his friend, and he went to your house to look for her.â
âOh? Did they ever find her?â 371 The Fight âNo, So they asked where youâd hidden her,â the cop said, shaking his head.
âIs that why they broke into my house? Did they use my house as a hideout for women and children traffickers?â Wayne kept asking.
The officer said cautiously, âNo, not at all. But youâve already done this before.â
Wayne looked him in the eyes and said coldly, âReally? Check your cases now and see if âve committed any crimes.â
The officer smiled and said, âCertainly not! Youâve already resolved this privately, havenât you?â
âThat issue has been resolved. So, why are they so obsessed with this? They can go to the police station if they canât find her.
Why did they feel the need to come to my house?â Wayne said anxiously. He felt that they Were wasting precious time looking for her if Anna was truly missing âYes, they indeed called us. We canât make a case because she hasnât been missing for twenty-four hours. Maybe sheâs busy with work.â Wayne was irritated, âWhat? Youâre keeping me here for a busy person?â
The cops froze, thinking Wayne had a valid point.
Karl came to the police station when he got the call and got help from his friends working at the police department. They didnât have any evidence to prove Wayneâs k********g. So they let him out.
As they were leaving, Wayne said to Karl, âTell your friend not to let Jasper and his secretary go. They are free to keep them in there for as long as they want.â
âAh! Thatâs no way to get your revenge!â
Wayne pressed his eyes that Jasper had punched and felt pain. He â371 The Fight said, âThey asked for it. Theyâll bring less trouble to me this way. By the way, have you found where Anna is?â
âYes, I told Ryanright after you called me. He used the satellite positioning system in the school lab to find Anna. Her cell phone signal had vanished by the time she was over the river,â Karl said, pointing to a river on the outskirts of town.
Wayne asked, perplexed, âHuh? When?â
âIt was half an hour ago. Just as we found her phone, the signal began to fade. Then it vanished completely.â
âDid someone cut it off on purpose?â Wayne asked, imagining the worst-case scenario.
Karl said, shaking his head, âRyan examined the data and thought that this was not the case. He said that there was no signal in the area.â âWhy would Anna come here where there is no signal?â
Karl said seriously, âIt wasnât because there was no signal coverage; rather, someone had installed a signal blocker. Oh, and he also mentioned...â
They thought that Anna couldnât have gone there by herself. Annaâs movements indicated that she had passed through a fishing village on the outskirts of town in the middle of nowhere. Except for small fishing boats, there was no other transportation there.
âWhat else did he say?â Wayne asked.
âHe claimed that the drug dealer Richard had previously worked with was on the run. A few months ago, a group of students discovered a drug den. The gang members took revenge on the families of two of the students.â
âWhat did Anna have to do with that?â Wayne asked, alarmed. â371 The Fight Karl inhaled deeply and said sternly, âIf you hadnât broken up with Anna, sheâd be Ryanâs sister-in-law right now. So, they began their search for the Wrights. They did so because Richard dragged them down, and they knew it was the students from Military Academy who caught them.â
On hearing that, Wayne broke out in a cold sweat. âLetâs go back to the police station,â he said anxiously.
Karl squeezed his trembling hand and said, âNo! Ryan said the drug dealers are all outlaws. If we call the cops, they will immediately go to all of the islands and search them. We donât know where the gangs are, so Iâm afraid theyâll strike first. You understand what I mean.â Wayne frowned tightly, looking flustered.
Then Karl said, âLetâs go back to your house first, Ryan said he had an ideaâ
