S31 75. A Betrayer

“Philip?”

Silence greeted him. There was no longer any voice. Only the sound of the turn signal clicking reminded him that time was running out.

“Philip?” Frank called louder. His eyes started to fill with tears.

Seeing his confusion, Barbara held her breath. Her heart was pounding and her throat was dry. “W-what happened? What’s wrong with Philip?”

With eyes filled with red streaks, Frank lowered his phone. His hands hung helplessly.

“This is the consequence if you disobeyed. Take care of your taxi yourself. I have to save Philip and my kids.

Barbara’s knees became weak. She staggered until her back found a wall to lean against.

“Philip?”

Her face turned pale. When Frank walked over her shoulder, she forced her body to move, reaching for the phone on the table. Unfortunately, twice she made a call, twice Philip didn’t pick up.

Meanwhile, in the middle of a road, a car had overturned. The cars around were out of order. Some failed to dodge wooden blocks that rolled from a large truck.

Philip was unaware of the chaos. His vision was dark, his hearing

blocked. Only when the ringing in his ears subsided could he hear his phone buzzing under his head.

“Barbara ….”

Philip thought it was the kidnapper who was calling. Blinking, he gathered his senses. With his hands swinging freely, he tried to reach for his phone.

Unfortunately, the screen full of cracks was beyond his reach. His

only way was to remove the seat belt. Unfortunately, when he fell, he crushed the phone with his knee.
