Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 68:

The back door of the white car was wide open, indicating that someone had recently been in the driver’s seat. Around the vehicle, five individuals were busy with something under Phillip’s direction.

From a distance, Kason couldn’t make out their actions, but upon recognizing them, he confidently approached, flanked by two police officers.

“Phillip, what brings you here?” Kason asked.

Caught off guard by Kason’s voice, Phillip turned around abruptly. “Mr. Hayes? Are you here looking for your nephew?”

Phillip straightened his posture and said, “At just the right moment. We’ve only just arrived.”

“What’s happening here?” The police officers behind Kason advanced, scrutinizing the five men. “What are you hiding? Where are the kidnappers?”

Phillip feigned innocence and replied, “We’ve just arrived. Mr. Scott has already escorted Miss Wilson to safety. We were about to report to the authorities. As for the kidnappers, it seems they’ve turned on each other. All deceased.”

Phillip gestured toward the driver’s seat and said, “Mr. Hayes, you’ll find your nephew there. He’s been shot. Not in a good state.”

Kason, initially concerned for Norah, hastened to the driver’s seat upon hearing of Kaiden’s condition. He found Kaiden pale and visibly drained, nursing his arm and struggling with the pain.

Upon a closer look, Kason discovered the bullet was still lodged in Kaiden’s arm, his clothes soaked with blood. Fortunately, it wasn’t life-threatening.

The police were already processing the scene, with three bodies on the ground. They were communicating with their headquarters and securing the perimeter.

“You’re saying they killed each other?” Kason asked.
