41. INVESTIGATION
“How can you say such a thing about Chris.” Ashley said, glaring at Jake, who chuckled and scratched the back of his head nervously.
“Like I said earlier, we are not sure Mr. Chris was the one who murdered the doctor; we are still trying to get the CCTV footage of the place the crime took place and get a few witnesses… Mr. Chris is a gangster, which means he must have done that under the instruction of someone.” Detective Brad said.
“You can ask us what you want to know.” Ashley said with her hands folded across her chest and her head held high.
“Since you are the leader of a fearless gangster group, you are one of our suspects,” Detective Brad said, glancing at the wristwatch in his right hand.
“Just get straight to the point; I have somewhere to be.” Ashley said rudely.
“Well, the questioning will take a few minutes of your time. I also need a place to use in your house for the questioning, or if you don’t mind, you can follow me to my office.” He said.
“Don’t worry, I have enough space; you can use one of my offices upstairs.” Ashley declared and started sashaying toward the stairs, expecting the detective to follow her, swaying her hips in a sexy way as she climbed the stairs.
“Ho la la.” The detective said and blew a whistle with his mouth before walking afar her. Jake snorted and ran after them.
Ashley walked past a few hallways in her mansion and kicked a door open with her leg. Standing by the door, she revealed an office that had a lot of bookshelves and a desk in the middle with a chair in front of it. The detective entered the room, with Jake scrutinizing the area with his eyes.
“Here you go, you can start by questioning him; I need to take a shower.” She said, nudging Jake aside. He stumbled and fell in front of the desk, resting his hand there as he turned back to look at her. She slammed the door behind them with a bang.
*******
The door of the room where Xander and the girls were being held captive was opened for the first time in the morning. Two scary-looking goons made their way into the room and opened the windows, brightening the room. Xander and the girls were still sleeping on the floor.
One of the goons took out a horn from his pocket and started pressing it. It was making a loud, annoying noise that forced some of the girls to grunt in dissatisfaction.
“Wake up girls.” One of the goons said this as he approached a girl sitting with her back to the wall; He grabbed her pale face and shook it a few times, examining her bruised face.
“The boss says he wants two cute girls; this one is cute; pick another one.” The goon said looking lustfully at the girl in front of him who was still sleeping, he was about to let go of her chin when she grasped his hand and started biting him hard on the wrist, with her razor-sharp teeth penetrating into his white skin. “Arghh!!” he screamed in pain, hitting the girl on the head as she continued biting him with no remorse. The other goon brought out a gun and pointed it at the girl’s head.
“Let go of his hand now!” He shouted. The girl’s face was covered in dirt as she looked up at the other goon. Xander smirked as he approached the gunman holding the gun from behind and gave him a flying kick in the head that made the goon scream in horror and fall to the ground. Xander stepped on his hand quickly and kicked the gun from his grasp.
Pointing his own gun at the man, the man started moving in an attempt to attack Xander. Xander shot him on the right leg twice. The man’s body quivered before he passed out on the floor. Xander directed his gaze at the other goon, who had already hit the girl’s head against the wall; staring at his bleeding hand, the girl nearly bit his meat off. He clutched his hand, trying to run out of the room, when Xander caught up to him and punched him twice in the stomach. Saliva escaped from his mouth as he leaped backward before collapsing on the floor.
“Come on, girls, let’s get out of here now!” Xander yelled at the girls, running to the door of the room. He opened the door wide for the girls to start running out; they all got up on their feet and attempted to run out of the room when the one at the front stopped to look at Xander, causing the other girls to pause.
“Where are we going?” She asked in a calm tone.
“Don’t worry, my boss is outside waiting in the garage. He will take you all in his van.” He assured them.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“What about you? Aren’t you coming with us?” she questioned. “Yes.” The other girl’s chorus agreed with the girl who was questioning him.
“Don’t worry, I will come.” Xander said he was smiling at them, although he thought they were too naïve, and could be easily fooled. If he had been a bad person, they would have been doomed.
“Go! Go!” He yelled at them. They all began running out of the room one by one. He waited for them and made sure it was all of them before walking out of the room and locking the goons in the room. He put his walkie-talkie close to his mouth.
“Come in, boss, the girls are on their way.” He assured with a serious face.
“Copy that,” his boss replied.
“Now I need to catch that bastard.” He thought to himself as he looked around the building’s corridor, running down the corridor to the room where roars of laughter could be heard. He fired shots at the bodyguards that were guiding the door; they both fell to the ground with blood spurting out of their heads. He stood close to their bodies and snooped into the room.
