Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Hank Spencer

Ellin slammed the phone down and grabbed Abby, rushing out the door.

Abby had caught the tail end of Ellin's angry words and could feel the tension. She clung to the door frame, crying, "I don't want to go! I want my daddy, I want my mommy..."

Ellin knew the cops would be there any minute and didn't have time to argue. She snapped at Abby, "Shut up. You better come with me, or I'll throw you off this building."

Abby was scared stiff and stopped crying.

Ellin dragged her into the elevator and headed down to the first floor.

The first floor was a restaurant, still buzzing with diners.

Ellin took out her phone and, when no one was looking, left it on a dining table. She quickly pulled Abby out of the restaurant and vanished into the night.

A guy who found the phone walked out of the restaurant and ducked into a nearby phone booth to check it out.

It was a nice phone, worth almost a grand.

Just as he was admiring his luck, the phone rang. He freaked out, thinking it was the owner calling.

He decided not to answer.

As he made up his mind, he heard police sirens.

Curious, he stepped out of the phone booth, only to be grabbed by two cops.

They found the phone on him and started questioning him.

The guy, shaking with fear, realized the phone was trouble and quickly spilled how he found it.

So, the cops ended up with Ellin's phone but no sign of her or Abby.

By morning, it was like they had disappeared into thin air.

A missing kid is every parent's nightmare. Sophie cried until her eyes were swollen, and Richard looked worried sick.

Given Ellin's harsh words before hanging up, the cops, for Abby's safety, decided to investigate quietly.

About thirty miles outside Starlight City, near Riverdale Falls, was Lindbrook Village, known for its beautiful scenery and eco-friendly vibe.

At the foot of the mountain on the east side of the village, there was a pond with a small wooden cabin beside it.

It was late autumn, and the once lush pond in front of the cabin looked pretty bleak.
