I called Theo on the way to the shopping mall’s surveillance room and informed him what had happened.
I could feel his anger from across the phone. "I'll be there soon!"
Theo hung up the phone after he said that.
I put my phone away and immediately picked up the pace.
When I arrived at the security room, I pushed open the door and went in. "My child has been taken. I need to look at the surveillance footage!"
There were more than a dozen large screens being displayed in the surveillance room, and the head of security ordered someone to bring up the footage from the beverage shop.
"That's It!"
I stared at the surveillance screen. The person was wearing a mask, and their face was not visible. Based on their body shape, however, we could tell that it was a man.
Who was it?!
Squeezing my eyes shut, I called the police.
While waiting for the police, Theo arrived first.
When I saw him, it was like I had seen the sun. I jumped into his arms. "Theo, I called the police just now, but they're not here yet.
"It's alright. I'm here. Did you go through the surveillance?" Theo patted my shoulder lightly and reassured me softly.
I nodded before bringing him into the monitoring room and getting the people to play the footage again.
Theo took the photo and then sent it to Keith. "Keith, look into this right away."
At his order, Keith would locate the whereabouts of that person in the fastest time possible regardless of where he was.
The police also soon arrived. They asked us a few questions before looking through the surveillance footage. They then said they would take us back to the police station to make a report and file a case.
