Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 17 Give Me A Few Minutes To Explain

Kallum saw that she was still standing there and even knew Ava's name, and he couldn't help but snort, "And what's that got to do with you? You seem to know the people around me very well huh."

His tone of voice was demeaning, but Calista had no time to argue with him. She jumped over the car and ran towards the apartments - saving someone's life was more important!

She took a while to locate the right block and go upstairs. She managed to find Ava's unit and knocked on the door and there was no answer.

It can't be that nobody's here, she thought. She was very sure that Ava had died in her own house. Suddenly she remembered the news had also shown photos of where she died. She had been killed in a very small space, so it was possible that there was a secret room in Ava's house!

Ava was the head secretary of a multinational company, and it wasn't safe to just leave documents lying around in her house, so it made sense for her to have a secret room of sorts for this purpose.

When Calista thought about this, she became calm because she knew that the murderer might be looking at her right now from behind the door. "Carson, I know you're inside."

Her voice was not very loud and this door was fairly soundproof, but he should have been able to hear her.

Calista wasn't able to pry open the heavy door that was locked electronically, so the only way was to get someone to open it from the inside.

There was no sound coming from inside, but Calista did not become anxious and continued calmly, "The police have already surrounded your house and found the head you hid in the wall. I was the one who called the police, and I've been following you. So now I'm very sure you're inside, are you sure you don't want to let me in?"

She took out her phone that was actually not turned on, and said, "I've come by myself and I just want to talk to you one on one. Or do you really want me to call the police?"

There was a soft clicking sound as the door unlocked and opened.

Calista's heart started pounding. She pushed the door the furthest it could go and saw that the doorway was completely empty. She took a deep breath and continued walking, and after a few steps, she felt that something was not right.

She immediately turned back but a shadowy figure suddenly jumped down from somewhere and came charging at her with a knife! This person had kept himself suspended above the door with the help of the narrow doorway walls, and was going to kill her without letting her say anything!
