Jonathan frowned as he wondered why Benjamin didnât come with them.
âOkay, this should be easy if you have evidence.â
Not only did Danna steal Benjaminâs child, but she even got him killed.
That alone was enough for them to give her the heaviest sentence possible.
Arissaâs eyes were filled with hatred as she clenched her fists. âI hope that Danna can be brought to justice as soon as possible, Mr. Patterson.â
âPlease be patient, Mrs. Graham. There are certain procedures that we need to go through. Iâve already submitted the request, and Iâll inform you as soon as I get a confirmation on the date for the court hearing. Right now, what we need to do is focus on gathering as much evidence as possible,â
Jonathan reassured her.
Still feeling worried about Arissa, Shaun secretly sent Benjamin a text while she wasnât looking.
Unfortunately, Benjamin was so busy with the search that he didnât notice it.
âAny news, Ethen?â he asked while standing next to the border with a pair of shades on.
âWeâve checked all the cars that came through here, but we havenât found anything!â Ethen replied with a frown.
He, too, found it puzzling how a child could go missing without a trace in such a small town.
Suddenly, an ambulance happened to be heading their way.
The kid inside the vehicle panicked and quickly hid himself when he recognized them as the guys looking for him.
âMister, please donât tell them that youâve seen Grandma and me! Theyâre bad guys!â
The driver found his request a little strange and tried to reassure him, âThose are policemen, Tim. Theyâre not bad guys, so you donât have to be afraid. Theyâre probably investigating something else.â
Hearing that, Tim glanced out the window and saw actual policemen standing there.
Policemen? What are those bad guys doing with the police? Are they in cahoots?
Believing that they were Raphaelâs men, Tim insisted, âMy uncle owes a lot of money due to his gambling. He hit me and Grandma yesterday because we couldnât give him any money. Those guys are here to capture me and use me to repay the debt! Please help us out, mister! Grandma needs to see a doctor, so I canât afford to let them take me away!â
He was so afraid of being captured that he had fear written all over his face.
âWill you please help us out, young man? They can do whatever they want with me, but Tim is only five years old! Please donât let them take him away! How about you turn the car around now? Weâll forget about heading into the city!â Mary pleaded.
She, too, was convinced that they were bad guys as she was still traumatized by the debt collectors smashing up their house.
âTheyâll only get suspicious if we turn back now. I suggest you two keep yourselves hidden as we pass them by. Who knows, maybe they wonât notice you two,â the driver replied with a sigh when he saw the policemen in front.
It wasnât uncommon for him to hear of similar cases at the clinic, so he really did sympathize with them.
âThank you, mister!â Tim exclaimed gratefully.
He then helped hide Mary with a blanket before climbing into a box on the side.
âPlease hurry it up, gentlemen! Iâm in a hurry to replenish my medical supplies here! The clinic needs it urgently!â the driver called out to the policemen as he pulled up at the border.
As the policemen saw no one in his van, they let him pass through without any hesitation.
Tim helped Mary get out of the ambulance when they got far enough from the border.
âThank you, mister!â
âThank you very much, young man!â
âDonât mention it!â the driver said as he dropped them off at the hospital.
Tim thanked him again before helping Mary into the hospital to get her treated.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was stressed out of his mind as he continued searching the town.
Where the heck could this child have gone? Could we have scared him off with our intimidating presence?

Ethen came running over immediately. âYes, Mr. Graham?â
âGo through the surveillance camera footage carefully once more. Also, tell them to be mindful of their expressions when searching. We donât want to scare the people here. We should also try to advertise our search here.â
âUnderstood!â
With that, Ethen quickly ran off to give the orders.
