No one had seen the girl named Kierra, so even Ariah started to wonder if she was hallucinating due to the fear.
But now, she was certain that she hadn't had an illusion!
If that killer clown followed this man's orders, then this man would definitely know where Kierra was.
"That day, when I was locked up in the basement by that clown, there was also a little girl there with me. What... what did you do to her?"
Ariah's voice trembled as she was blaming herself for not insisting on looking for Kierra.
If she had insisted, Jimmy would definitely help her to look for Kierra and maybe they would be able to find her!
However, after such a long time, Kierra could have been dead already. Yet, Ariah still held a glimmer of hope.
"What did you do to her?" repeated Ariah.
Just as she said so, the man chuckled and asked, "Are you concerned about her?"
Of course, she was. She was not a heartless person!
"What on earth did you do to her? She's just a little girl. How could you... have the heart to kill her?"
Ariah regretted it the moment she said that. How could she be talking about morality and conscience with this man?
"Oh, Kierra. She's fine..."
Immediately, Ariah's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Do you want to see her?"
"She's really fine? And, you're willing to let me see her?" Ariah looked at him suspiciously, speculating that he was teasing her.
"Well, I can tell you where she is..." The man took a step forward, and his lips slowly curled into a smile under the mask. "She's right under your nose."
Ariah was confused. "What do you mean?"
"Can't you figured it out yet?"
Ariah was at a loss for words.
What did he mean by 'right under her nose'?
Ariah stood there in a daze. Suddenly, she shivered and looked at him in shock. "You... you're Kierra?"
No, that was impossible!
Kierra was an 18-year-old little girl whereas he was a grown-up man. She must be crazy to think that he was Keira.
"Why wasn't it possible? It was dark in the basement, and you couldn't see me at all, so I can pretend whoever I like. I could say that my name is Kierra and that I'm 18 years old. I went to a movie with my classmates, but I was kidnapped halfway..."
