GoodReadChapter 905 If You Don't Come, I'll Leave You Here Raymond's eyes were blazing with anger. He scanned the area, but Selena was nowhere to be found. With a frustrated sigh, he started heading down.
But Max? Oh, Max wasn't having it. The dog was dead set on finding Selena and wasn't budging an inch. Raymond barked out, "Max, let's go. If you don't come, I'm leaving you here." Max just plopped down on the lawn, rain soaking him through. He liked Raymond, sure, but he wasn't moving. They had a bit of a stare-off, and eventually, Raymond caved.
He shrugged off his suit jacket, wrapped it around Max, and stomped off, looking all kinds of annoyed.
First, Selena throws a fit, and now even the dog is giving him grief.
Raymond was a mix of pissed and worried, but he got it-Max was just looking out for Selena.
Dogs, man. They had their own weird ways of showing loyalty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSdogs even camp out on their owner's grave after they pass. They get death; they just can't talk about it. As Raymond made his way down, he bumped into John, who was driving back.
John said, "Mr. Montague, Ms. Fair isn't in the villa." Great, so Selena was probably in sdeep trouble.
Raymond snapped, "Check all the nearby surveillance cameras. We need to find her!" John had already started on that but was eyeing Raymond, worried about his allergies since he was holding Max. Raymond gently put Max in the car and got in himself.
Back at Manston Manor, Max sat outside, looking all sad and still getting drenched.
Raymond ignored him and went to shower, waiting for any updates.
When he cout, Max was still at the door, like he was waiting for Selena to cback.
Raymond let out a cold laugh, and then his phone rang.
John said, "Mr. Montague, the park's surveillance was hacked. Our hackers fought back and found Ms. Fair's phone, but it might be a trick. We also tracked the kidnappers; they headed towards the mountains. We've sent you the route, but we can't pinpoint them exactly. The surveillance keeps getting hacked; these guys aren't amateurs." Raymond jumped up and headed out with Max. His team had a rough idea of the kidnappers' route.
About twenty cars were on the move, but the further they went, the more serious Raymond's face got. This place was seriously out in the sticks. The kidnappers were still on the move, not at their hideout yet. The road led to an area hit by an earthquake ten years ago, and everyone had been evacuated. They drove all day and night, leaving Silver Bay City and entering another city's territory. There were tons of abandoned villages, and the roads were trashed from the earthquake.
This was the earthquake's epicenter, a total ghost town.
Earthquakes hit almost every year, and the big one ten years ago was a national shocker.
When Raymond's car hit a dead end, they couldn't go any further.
Luckily, they had a dozen helicopters. By now, the sun was up, and the choppers were scouring the area for any signs.
Raymond still wasn't satisfied and called in twenty more helicopters from nearby.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe thought of something happening to Selena made his heart ache.
The helicopters were all over the place, but still no sign of Selena.
Eighty people were searching on the ground, including a bunch of police dogs.
Raymond's face got darker as he looked at the gloomy sky, feeling more and more uneasy.
Then someone cup to him and said, "Mr. Montague, the monitoring bureau says this area's unstable and Sarea's unstable and we should evacuate." Unstable meant an earthquake could hit any second.
With advanced tech, they could now give early warnings, and this was a high-risk time.
Just as Raymond was about to tell the pilot to leave, he heard a voice! over the walkie-talkie, "Mr. Montague, E we found a clue, a piece of fabric."
Raymond didn't back down. When he got to the spot, he got another dall from the monitoring bureau, urging them to evacuate. Raymond told the others, "You guys go first, and take Max with you." Max was there with the other police dogs.
If something happened to Max, he wouldn't be able to face Selena.
