Charlie nodded and said, "Good! When you get anything, let me know as soon as possible!” i
Albert uttered respectfully, "Okay, Master Wade!" 2
Charlie ended the call. He calmed himself down before turning back to Mrs. Lewis and Stephanie, and said, "Mrs. Lewis, Steph, don't worry, I've asked my friends to ask around. He’s quite capable and he has a lot of informers, I'm sure he'll have some answers soon.” 1
Mrs. Lewis blurted out, her eyes red with tears," Charlie, thank you so much!" 4
Charlie quickly said, "Mrs. Lewis, what are you talking about? I grew up in this orphanage and the children here are like my own brothers and sisters. Now that they’re missing, I'll definitely do all I can to get them back!” 1
Stephanie uttered, choking and sobbing, "Charlie, you donated so much money yesterday. On our way back, Mrs. Lewis said that they'll install a set of CCTVs around the orphanage thanks to your donation, who knows..." 7
Stephanie couldn’t finish her sentence before she started crying again.
Charlie knew Mrs. Lewis and Stephanie like the back 0 f his hand. Most of the people who worked in the
orphanage were very kind and gentle. They took care o f these orphaned children as their own, and regarded themselves as their parents. 2
It was a devastating blow for them now that ten children were kidnapped from the orphanage.
Charlie was about to comfort them when Albert called.
He immediately answered the call, and Albert said," Master Wade, I got something. This Gibson kid borrowed a white Iveco Daily with fake license plates from a friend. He and his family left home last night and they were nowhere to be found since midnight.” 1
"Iveco Daily?!” Charlie frowned in dismay and said," The kidnappers drove an Iveco too! I think it was them!”
