“You see for yourself!” Jerome tossed the phone to Mikayla.

Mikayla picked it up, and there was surveillance footage on it.

The location looked like a garage, with two men wearing hats and masks lurking in a

Before long, Kylie, dressed in a suit, arrived at the parking lot.

Just as she unlocked her car, the two men quickly dashed toward her.

In the photos, there were indeed two individuals with hats resembling the men in the surveillance footage, appearing in the same convenience store as Mikayla.
