Chapter 406


    We were tearing down the road when we reached a blind spot, a ce swarming with police already


    hard at work. They were meticulously scouring every nook and cranny, theorizing about the possible


    escape routes the car might have taken.


    Hannah and I hopped out of the car in a hurry, scanning the surroundings. This area was on the


    outskirts of the city but wasn''t secluded. It was a sprawling industrial park that looked like it was still


    under construction, not yet finished.


    A section of the road was under repair, which exined why the usual traffic had been disrupted,


    creating the blind spot.


    We found ourselves at a roundabout intersection. Discounting the direction where the roadwork was


    taking ce, there were three other routes to consider. The task of searching seemed daunting.


    As I confronted the situation, a wave of helplessness washed over me. It was almost as if we had no


    leads at all. There were three roads, but which one should we start our search with?


    Just as we felt at a loss, my phone chimed with a notification. I grabbed it to see a message from ra,


    someone I hadn''t heard from in ages. I exchanged a surprised nce with Hannah.


    She leaned over as I clicked on the message. It was brief, just three words - [Come here, quick!"]


    followed by a GPS location.


    My heart skipped a beat. What did this mean? The timing of her message was too coincidental, and


    most crucially, she knew about my rtionship with Catherine.


    "Logan!" I called out, showing him the location on my screen. He scrutinized it, zooming in on the area


    with a spark of recognition in his eyes.


    "Mmm, isn''t it in the heart of Eastgate District?" he mumbled.


    "Is it not nearby?" I pressed for confirmation.


    He seemed uncertain but called everyone over to take a look.


    Anky officer immediately spoke up, "That location ispletely the opposite direction from here. I


    was in charge of that area years ago. It''s in the Eastgate District, smack-dab in the city center. The

    ce is called Oldtown Avenue, known for its dense, old neighborhoods with a mix of good folks and


    bad seeds."


    Hannah eyed me skeptically. "Could this be a fake lead?"


    I squinted, my mind racing before shaking my head. "I don''t think so!"


    For some reason, I felt an inexplicable trust in ra. I believed she wouldn''t deceive me.


    Logan, confident in my judgment, gave the orders. "Let''s head there now! Dalton, leave some officers


    here to keep looking for clues. The rest of you, with us."


    "I''ll ask ra for more details," I said to Logan.


    He nodded, and I quickly sent a message, keeping it concise. "Need specifics!"


    My fingers tensed around the phone as I awaited ra''s response, which didn''te.


    Logan urged us to get moving. "Let''s talk on the road!"


    Once Dalton was in the car, he was on the phone, calling in resources.


    My grip on the phone tightened, and I silently prayed that ra''s tip was legit. If not, I wouldn''t let her


    off the hook. I pondered over how ra could possibly know Catherine''s whereabouts.


    Hannah seemed to catch on to my thoughts. "Allie, it looks like ra might really be in cahoots with


    Jerome!" Read at


    "Does that mean Jan knew where the Rhylee sisters were all along, since he managed to get Zora


    to the hospital?" Hannah analyzed.
