You Hit My Heart novel Chapter 1826

Chapter 1826: Trapped

Outside the activity center, as gunshots rang out, the crowd scattered like birds and beasts. Joyce, Luther, Darrin, and Aaron, who were discussing important matters, finally realized something was wrong.

"Oh no! There are criminals in the amusement park. They must be from OGW, brazenly acting in broad daylight," Darrin exclaimed first.

Luther was startled. "Anderson is still inside the activity center!"

Joyce felt dizzy, and darkness engulfed her vision. Her body went weak, and she almost collapsed into Luther's arms. She had only come out for some fresh air, never expecting her worst fear to happen again.

"Could it be that Anderson has already come out? There are too many people, and we just haven't found him yet. Don't worry. There will be a way," Luther reassured.

"He held Joyce tightly. The criminals are armed, and we don't know how many of them there are. Let's find cover first, and then figure out a plan," Luther said.

While speaking, Darrin had already found a small kiosk, and he, along with Joyce and Luther, took shelter inside.

At the same time, the other security personnel who had come together with them concealed themselves near the kiosk. Although they had come for amusement, they all carried weapons.

Meanwhile, Darrin instructed Aaron to request support from the warlord and mobilize all the hired mercenaries.

After settling in the kiosk, Joyce said, "It seems Anderson is definitely trapped in the activity center. By the way, check his location."

In the chaos earlier, she had forgotten that Anderson had a tracking device on him.

Darrin slapped his head suddenly, realizing in his haste that he had forgotten such an important thing. He quickly opened Anderson's tracker. As the red dot jumped on the screen, he said, "Anderson is really trapped in the activity center. General, what do we do next? The criminals are armed, and the people inside the activity center are definitely being held hostage. Even if we surround the criminals, who can guarantee the safety of the hostages? The risk is too great."

Luther frowned. "I'm contacting the SWAT team now, asking them to send negotiation experts. Whatever demands the criminals make, I'll fulfill them."

"I'm afraid the criminals want more than just money. Do you remember last time when we were attacked at the ice cream shop in the city center? They didn't want money; they wanted to make a statement in Khebury. I'm almost certain Cloud is behind this," Joyce analyzed.

"But we decided to come to the amusement park today. It was a spontaneous decision. How could Cloud possibly know? And Anderson happened to go to the restroom and stayed in the activity center," Darrin couldn't understand.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Let's try sending a message to Anderson to confirm her situation," Joyce suggested.

"What if the message makes a sound? We don't know if Anderson has put her phone on silent. If her phone or any other device makes a sound and attracts the criminals' attention, what should we do?" Luther expressed his concern.

"Let's take a gamble. Anderson is usually cautious and thinks ahead. In a situation like this, I believe she would be prepared. It's hard for us to take action without knowing the situation inside," Joyce took a deep breath, her heartbeat erratic. But she tried hard to calm her breathing.

At that moment, Darrin saw someone familiar.

He exclaimed, "Am I seeing things? I think I just saw Justin."

"What?" Joyce was astonished. How could Justin be here at the amusement park? It didn't make sense.

"You message Anderson first. I'll go and check if it's really Justin," Darrin turned and sneaked out of the kiosk.

Luther opened his phone and sent a message to Anderson, "Anderson, how are you doing now?"

After sending the message, he held his breath and waited for a reply.

Joyce was also tense.
