193: BLAME

LUKE’S POV

Andre and I got out of the car, moving forward to Ariel’s vehicle. She wasn’t there, but I was a hundred percent sure that this belonged to Ariel.

“I can’t see anyone here,” said Andre, looking around this area.

“Yes, but this is Ariel’s car. She must be around here somewhere.”

“In an empty place like this? I don’t really think so.”

“Come on, we have to search.”

“Luke, this is telling us that something isn’t right here.”

sighed, still staring at the car. “I know. The same thought keeps running through my head. I’m just hoping for the best.”

“This is Ariel’s,” Andre told me, flaunting the necklace that he was holding.

“Of course, I see that.” I squatted and took the necklace from his hand. I looked at it pretty well, remembering how Ariel had that around her neck, making her really beautiful.

“And this belongs to Janice.” Andre showed me the other necklace. “I think someone kidnapped the both of them.”
