Chapter 128

Chief Dalloway shook his head woefully, and the policeman who stood at the door held his head low. The Chief then said, “The Oleander bullets penetrated right through their hearts. The medical team couldn’t save them.”

Lucianne inhaled deeply and exhaled sadly before she said, “I am so sorry for your loss.”

“Thank you, my Queen.” Chief Dalloway responded with a polite smile, and the policeman gave her a grateful nod.

Lucianne then cleared her throat before asking, “As for the location where the helicopter was found, do you happen to have any pictures of the site?”

“I do, in fact. A moment please, your Highness.” The Chief took out his phone from his pocket, and scrolled through it for a while before placing it on the table and gently pushing it towards Lucianne.

She lifted up the phone and enlarged the photo to study the sandy beach and thick jungle next to where the hijacked police helicopter seemed to have landed safely. Lucianne then pushed the phone in the two cousins’ way for them to have a look as she asked the Chief, “The jungle is being searched now, I presume?”

“Indeed, my Queen. It’s been two hours but we haven’t found anything as of yet, I’m afraid.”
