“What else is the reason?” I asked looking over at ke a little confused.


    “That’s when Jacob was sent to the north of Maine, and the information in the country showed that Jacob was deceased! There would be no way to be ckmailing her family over there!” ke’s tone was a little unnerving, “But in a way, it helped the family too!”


    “So what you’re saying is that there’s a big head of them outside of Steven?” I asked tentatively.


    “Yeah, Steven’s just a patsy. At best, a, possibly, pawn with a position. That’s why he had the ability to transport Jacob on his escort.” ke exined.


    “So the police didn’t notice? How do they work?” I was a bit iprehensible.


    “You’re right, that’s exactly the factor that allowed us to find Jacob.” keplimented my words nomittally.


    I looked over at ke with eyes full of curiosity and listened to him continue.


    “We went to a lot of trouble to find out where Jacob had gone, and then we found out that he had been in trouble during that period of his life, and had been sentenced to three years, but bizarrely, just between the guardhouse and the prison, we lost track of the man, and the prison’s didn’t have the man at all.”


    ke said it inly, like he was telling a story.


    Jacob’s expression was odd, a bitter look, “I don’t know anything about anything, anyway!”


    He kept repeating it.


    “Then we found out the node of that escort operation, and tracing it down quickly turned up the records of the escort, which had been an ident, with the car going over a cliff and destroying the car. There happened to be two charred bodies in the car that were unrecognizable, and the DNA’s showed results that one of them was Jacob’s.”


    My jaw dropped at his ount.


    ke continued, “But we concluded that Jacob was not dead, based on exactly this record. That’s what led us, little by little, to the north of Maine and to Jacob’s clues!”


    “What made you guys think of northern Maine?” I asked in disbelief.


    “It was a devil’s den where anything bizarre happened, and at the time we were just lining it up! But stumbled upon Jacob’s video footage! It’s not like he deserved it!” ke said this with a rather flirtatious tone.


    “And what happened then? How did you bring Shifu out?” I pursued, my curiosity now piqued.


    ke smiled slightly, a hint of warmth on that strange face, “It’s never going to be possible for that ce to try and im someone outright. Besides, there’s a story as to why Jacob was sent to the park, so we had to outsmart it for fear of spooking him.”


    “Outwit?” I was even more curious.


    “We bribed the master of a restaurant on a side street in the park to make a special double-decker garbage can, stuffed him in the bottom, brought him out, and sent him to the country’s gate before we picked him up and brought him back to his homnd!”


    Jacob’s eyes went scarlet and he choked a little when he heard this, “If you guys had gone a monthter, I might have set foot on the road to the Yellow Springs!”


    I reached up and stroked Jacob’s arm tofort him.


    ke nodded and added, “Actually, we followed up with a person to do the aftermath in the park, but just in case. Actually, word came back that this was checked by their superiors at the time as well!


    Because we arranged for a body to go in there, the faceless kind, and it was impossible to identify it. But they were alert, checked the details, really didn’t find out anything, and left it at that.”


    Jacob doesn’t feel at all relieved and shakes his head, “It’s over if you don’t see it!”


    “All these signs point to the fact that the official team has one of theirs in it!” ke said this with certainty.From N?velDrama.Org.


    I was a bit shocked, “No wonder Shifu just disappeared so strangely, I searched for everyone who could get in touch with him but there’s no news of him!”


    “That’s why we can’t let him show his face yet!” ke said, “We can’t do anything rash if we can’t find out what’s behind the scenes in the north of Maine, these guys are all ouws! If once we find out that Jacob escaped, then they will definitely smell danger. It won’t be good for the future!”


    I shuddered a little at what I heard, and I murmured, “Go back and I’ll check on Kelly!”


    Jacob was bemused, “Another year and I’m all but dead in their minds!”


    I looked to Jacob and reassured, “Don’t be so pessimistic, she won’t change!”
