You Hit My Heart novel Chapter 654

"Hmm." Joyce saw his serious face and got even more nervous with it.

The heavy smell of smoke choked her and made her want to cough. Her eyes were irritated and her vision got blurry. She couldn't help but glance at Karl, who was so calm and collected. Breathing the same bad air, he didn't look different at all. No wonder he was a detective.

Karl led Joyce through two alleyways to get closer to the incident.

He took out his cell phone, dialed Officer Franklin's number and instructed.

"Franklin, I'm in the clock tower at 213,415. I need a SWAT squad for reinforcement, in civilian clothes, never to be recognized. And not one more. Otherwise Victor's life will be in danger."

"Copy that." Franklin responded immediately.

Karl hung up the phone.

Not being able to use the police department's satellite platform was a real pain in the ass. He could only fight alone. Because even if the reinforcement really got to the location he mentioned just now, he would have gone somewhere else long ago. They would not be able to work together this way. The reason why he called for a SWAT squad was that he wanted to save Victor's life.

Now, the even trickier question in front of him was that he didn’t know where Victor was.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some unusual movement from around the corner not far away.

With an unprecedented sense of danger, he subconsciously took Joyce into his arms and darted her along with him into an old building, and hid in the small space under the stairs.

Joyce hardly dared to breathe as she leaned against Karl's chest. His body was so hot and close that she could even hear his strong, powerful heartbeat, which was growing faster and faster, and gradually becoming disorganized.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, the "ta-da" footsteps sounded after them. The steps sounded heavy, so it was certainly a man.

The man glanced around and then walked into the house.
