Being choked by the smoke, Ben and Edward almost burst into tears.
"Ahem..."
Coughing, they asked, "Capt., why don't you turn on the light?"
Not only were the lights off, but even the windows were shut. It was really stuffy.
Thinking about that, Ben hinted at Edward, who then immediately ran to open the windows. Finally, fresh air came in.
Meanwhile, Jimmy sat on the sofa, smoking silently. His face was stern and there were dark circles under his eyes. On the tea table, the ashtray was full.
"Capt., you can't keep on smoking like this. It's bad for your health!" Edward could not help but comfort him, "Director Sherlock has already informed his superior on this. All the police departments in the city will join in the rescue. We will definitely be able to find out Ariah 1"
Ben also said, "Indeed, Capt. The members of the Special Task Force are experts from all fields. So we could definitely..."
Before Ben could finish, Jimmy suddenly put off the cig in his hand and walked out.
"Capt., what's wrong?" Ben was shocked.
Jimmy didn't look back. "Nothing. I'm just going out for a walk. I'll be back soon."
"Oh."
Hearing that, Ben nodded.
After a while, Ben came to think of something. "Hey, did you see the expression on his face just now? He didn't seem like just taking a walk. Could he be..."
"Nah, I don't overthink it!"
"Alright, hopefully I'm just overthinking it."
Jimmy drove all the way to an old residential area. The building was quite shabby, and I stained the walls with mildew.
Taking out a gun from his waist, he kicked open the door of an apartment and strode in.
The two men in the room didn't expect someone to suddenly break in and quickly pulled out their guns. Jimmy swiftly punched the short man, who then squatted down, covering his nose.
Then, with the gun in his hand, Jimmy pointed at the other man's forehead. "Ricco, ask your man to stay still!"
Ricco glanced at the man squatting on the ground and ordered, "Felipe, don't move."
Hearing that, Felipe remained still.
Jimmy then went straight to the point and asked, "Do you know Kevin Bradbury?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb!" Jimmy scowled, "Ricco, if anything happens to Ariah, I won't let you off!"
Instantly, Ricco's face changed a little. With a frown, he pushed away Jimmy's gun and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Ariah's taken away by Kevin Bradbury. If you still care about her, then tell me everything you know!" said Jimmy as he looked squarely at Ricco.
"You think I know Kevin and that I know where he took her?"
Immediately, Jimmy went silent. The reason that he came to Ricco now was that he had no other choice. When Ariah was kidnapped last time, Ricco was the one who saved Ariah before he did. So he thought that Ricco might know something this time as well...
