Chloe Sinclair had been waiting for a while and couldn't resist looking over. "What's wrong?"
Ian Winters swallowed hard and shook his head. "N-nothing's wrong. My legs have just turned to jelly."
He spoke with a trembling finger, pointing the way. "S-straight ahead."
Chloe Sinclair got the message and floored it.
Soon, with Ian Winters's directions, the car finally stopped in front of a collapsed building.
Chloe Sinclair parked and quickly got out of the car. Using her sharp hearing, she pinpointed Jasper Shaw's location.
The moment she arrived, she heard someone shout, "Hmph, Jasper Shaw, my dad's about to have his leg amputated! One million! And not a penny less!"
"You're not leaving until you pay up!" "You think you're going to walk out of here in one piece?"
"Hurry up and give us the money!"
"Yeah, pay up!"
Chloe Sinclair felt a brief wave of relief that Jasper Shaw was unharmed.
But hearing their demands made her see red.
