Chapter 158

Herman paid no mind to Seraphina’s words, as he was busy snooping around the bomb site.

The scene was pretty bare bones. Other than Seraphina and the bomb, the kidnappers didn’t leave much behind.

“Even though no one got hurt, a bomb did go off. This is no small potatoes, Herman said to Leandro, I’m gonna report to the station so they can start an investigation

Leandro took a moment to think, then nodded in agreement.

Seraphina, covered in dust, stood aside in silence, “Can I go home and take a shower and change clothes now?”

“Hold your horses, Herman said, “Before you go, can you tell me what happened?”

Seraphina crossed her arms. “They kidnapped me right outside the hospital yesterday. They drove me here and I was stuck in the car all night. In the morning, they brought me up here and tied me up. After that, they just vanished. Two guys, both wearing hats and masks”

“Did they hurt you?” asked Herman, “Or did they say anything?”

“No,” Seraphina said, “Honestly, they were kind of polite. They didn’t lay a finger on me and even gave me water and food”

Hearing this, Herman and Leandro exchanged a glance.

Leandro looked grim, his brow furrowed. It was hard to tell whether it was because of the events of the day, or the dust covering him.

Seeing this, Herman said, “In that case, Leandro, you take her home. I’ll come by later with some colleagues to collect evidence.”

Leandro nodded, then turned to walk downstairs

Seraphina gave Herman a goodbye wave and followed Leandro down the stairs.
