Chloe's eyes narrowed sharply.

She grabbed the guy by the collar again, demanding, "What did you say? Spill it, now!"

The man, visibly shaken, stammered, "That day, not even five minutes after you two checked into the hotel, Shawn stormed out, cursing under his breath, said he was off to meet someone and told me to stay back and keep watch over you." "But when I got to the room, you were already gone. I searched everywhere, but you were nowhere to be found."

"And here's the kicker-after Shawn left, he vanished, too. No word from him at all."

The guy recalled something, shivering involuntarily. "Two days later, they found Shawn's body in the reservoir. I was there. He was all bloated from the water; it was a gruesome sight." Thinking of Chloe's impressive skills made him uneasy.

Pointing a finger at her, he accused, "It was you, wasn't it? You and that woman, Linda, plotted to kill him."

Chloe's eyes darkened at the mention of Linda's name. "Linda? Why her?"

The man seemed to remember something but kept his mouth shut, scared stiff.

If Shawn had been killed by Chloe, she might just silence him, too.

Fear filled his eyes. On a whim, he grabbed a handful of sand from a nearby pile and tossed it at Chloe's face before taking off.

Chloe quickly recovered and was about to give chase.

But there was a river right next to the alley, and without missing a beat, the man leaped in, swimming frantically to the far bank.

Chloe stopped pursuing him. With his name in her back pocket, finding him again wouldn't be too hard.
