Ariah called Ben first, but he didn't answer. "Is he really on a mission?" she muttered.
After thinking about it, she called David, who quickly picked up the phone. "Hello, are you looking for me?"
Ariah was taken aback. "I thought you guys are on a mission?"
"What kind of task is it? There's no mission today. Why did you ask the question?"
Bewildered, Ariah told him everything about how she had been trying to call Jimmy and Ben "They didn't pick up the calls, so I thought you guys were busy."
"No, we are not on a mission today. Ben seemed to be on leave, while Jimmy is absent. Is he on leave too?"
Pausing for a while, David asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Isn't Jimmy with you?"
Ariah frowned. If Jimmy didn't go to the police station, then where did he go?
Did that mean he didn't go to his unit after sending her off this morning?
It suddenly occurred to her that Kevin still had not been arrested...
The thought made her feel worried. Just as she was about to speak to Ben, her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it down and saw that it was a call from Jimmy.
Ariah thus let out a sigh of relief, "Oh, Jimmy is calling. Let's chat later."
"Okay. Quickly answer his call now."
"Sure."
After hanging up, she immediately spoke to Jimmy, "Hey, why didn't you answer my phone?"
Jimmy's gruff voice came from the other side. "I'm with Stanley, and my phone was in my car. Why are you looking for me?"
"Emily is in trouble. Please go back to the Hudson Family now."
With a frown, Jimmy asked, "What happened to her?"
"She's missing."
"Did you lodge a police report?"
"I think Mack has called the police because there were policemen in the house."
Jimmy nodded. "Then wait for me at home. I'll be right there."
"Okay."
After that, Jimmy threw his mobile phone aside. The passenger seat was full of documents taken from Stanley's office.
It was full of clues found by Stanley in Mathines, which indicated that Kobi had secretly been in touch with Kevin over the years.
Kobi must have paid Kevin quite a handsome amount of money.
It was all spent on medical treatments...
If Jimmy's guess was right, Kevin did not die in the fire that year. After escaping from death, he began to receive treatment abroad, which was when he started to get in touch with Kobi.
However, why did Kobi want to contact Kevin?
What was the man's intention?
Was he using Kevin to deal with Jimmy? Or was he just acquainted with Kevin?
No, that coincidence would be too scary.
There must be some kind of mutual interest between the two of them, but Jimmy couldn't figure out exactly what it was.
While he was thinking about the issue, his phone suddenly rang.
He thought that Ariah had called again, but when he picked it up, he realized that it was a call from Kobi.
It just so happened that he had a few questions that he wanted to ask.
With a dark face, he answered the phone, "Hello?"
Kobi's sneering voice then came from the other end. "Are you free now?"
