Chapter 18 Kidnapped

Cedric looked at Baz, who had arrived ahead of him. “Bring it here!”

“Yes, sir.” Baz picked up the cardboard box and marched over.

“Open it.”

Baz nodded. He removed the lid, revealing a voodoo doll written with Rita’s name.

Zera let out a horrified scream and hid behind Cedric. “See? Someone’s putting a curse on Mom! And there’s a familiar scent, but I can’t remember where I smelled it before.”

Cedric gave Baz a look.

Baz nodded and sniffed the faint fragrance on the doll. “It smells like perfume.”

Zera suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, I remember now. Maia always wore this perfume. Cedric, you smell the same. W–Were you with her just now?”

With a frown, Cedric took the voodoo doll and sniffed it. It was indeed the perfume Maia always wore.

“Stop her!” At Cedric’s command, Baz and others quickly blocked her path.

“Cedric, I’ve got to ask Maia where she’s holding Mom.” Zera was agitated. “Although I was adopted, she treated me like her own. I can’t let anything happen to her!”

Zera burst into loud sobs.
