Lyna had thought of that lie to keep Yvette in check so she would go along with her plan.
“All right, then. I’ll do as you say,” Yvette agreed after giving it some thought, much to Lyna’s delight.
“We’ve checked everyone, Chief! There are no signs of the individuals you’re looking for!” the police captain reported to Jaxon.
“Understood. You guys can head on back for now,” Jaxon said with a frown.
He then got into the Lincoln with Fabian and prepared to leave the area.
“Mr. Norton, do you think we’re missing something here?” Jaxon asked.
Fabian was in deep thought wondering where they could be hiding when his phone started ringing. He frowned when he saw the caller ID, but answered it anyway, “Hello?”
“Hello, Mr. Norton. I’ve looked into the flight headed towards A Nation today, and there were indeed two special passengers named Sally Young and Wendy Wagner respectively.”
Fabian was shocked when he heard that and let out a sigh after hanging up the phone. Does that mean the two of them got away?
Jaxon had a stern expression on his face too as he asked, “What happened, Mr. Norton? Did they escape?”
Fabian nodded. “Yeah, I’ve just been told that they took a flight out of here.”
Jaxon furrowed his brows when he heard that, but felt relieved at the same time as he had managed to retrieve the videotape. “Thank goodness we’ve managed to get the videotape back.”
Fabian began running an analysis of Baykeep’s map in his head and shook his head in denial as he visualized the long and narrow road leading to the airport. That’s impossible… This road is the only one that could get them to the airport before 9:35 a.m.! If this is the road they took, then they couldn’t have made it past Maximus who arrived here at 9:20 a.m.! How on earth did they get to the airport?
“This doesn’t make any sense… Why would they leave the videotape behind if they could escape?” Fabian couldn’t help but voice out his question in confusion.
“Perhaps they got delayed by something? Or maybe, they forgot about it and asked someone to bring it to them?”
“That’s impossible!” Fabian dismissed his suggestions and continued to think hard for answers.
Jaxon shook his head helplessly when he saw Fabian racking his brain like that. He couldn’t care less about those two as he had gotten the videotape back and could finally get some quality sleep after being stressed out throughout the past few days.
Wait a minute… The videotape… They left it behind on purpose so Jaxon would stop going after them! As for how they got to the airport, I can only think of two possibilities… They either took a private jet there or just went into hiding and never left the country at all! Given how big Chanaea is, there’s no way we’d be able to find them anytime soon! If that’s the case, Hannah is still in danger as Yvette could make her move anytime! I can’t rest until I get to the bottom of this! The mysterious person who is working with Yvette sure is a cunning one…
Fabian let out another sigh at the thought of that.
“Phew… It’s finally done… Man, I’m tired…” Hannah mumbled to herself as she stretched in her chair at the office.
