Chapter 1567 Quinn shoved him away. "I knew you were lying to me!" Alexander just grinned and smoothly changed the topic.
Quinn was about to say something else when her phone rang. It was the City Management Bureau. Her face lit up as she answered. "Hello," Quinn said.
"Can you cover? We found someone on the surveillance footage, but we're not sure if it's the person you're looking for," the staff member said. "Okay, I'll be right there!" Quinn jumped up and grabbed Alexander's arm. "Let's go. The City Management Bureau has snews." Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to wait here? What if Calvin leaves while you're gone?" Quinn paused. He had a point. The City Management Bureau had only spotted Calvin on the footage; they couldn't be sure if he'd stick around. After a moment, she said, "How about you wait here? I'll go check it out." Alexander glanced at his watch. "It's still early. I'll go with you, and we can cback later." "Will we have enough time?" Quinn asked.
"Sure," Alexander assured her.
Hearing this, Quinn quickly hailed a cab, and they headed to the City Management Bureau.
They arrived soon enough. The staff were already waiting at the entrance and greeted her with a smile. Quinn hurried over. "You said you found him on the footage. Where?" "Cinside and check the surveillance footage first to confirm if it's the person you're looking for," the staff member said.
Quinn nodded and followed him into the office. The staff member turned on a computer and pulled up the footage.
The video was from the night they arrived on the island, and it even showed Calvin with Abigail.
Quinn's eyes widened in surprise; she had only cto find Calvin and didn't expect to see Abigail too.
It was an unexpected bonus. She turned to Alexander excitedly. "So, the person I saw that day was Abigail?" Alexander nodded. "Looks like it. Let's check the other footage." Since they found Calvin in this area, other cameras might have caught him too.
After reviewing more footage, they found traces of Calvin over the past few days. He was mostly with Abigail. Quinn thought out loud. "It looks like Calvin is staying nearby." "But why is he with Abigail?" Quinn frowned. She hadn't expected Calvin to be with Abigail.
Calvin was now a fugitive. What had gone down between him and Abigail? Did they meet up after getting here, or were they already together before? These questions could only be answered by finding them in person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile they were reviewing the footage, the ferry had already docked.
Abigail grabbed her suitcase to board, but before she could leave the shop, she saw a group of people getting off the ferry, including Walter. 'What is Walter doing here?' Abigail wondered.
A bad feeling crept over her. She used the crowd as cover, turned around, and ran back with her suitcase.
Walter was here, and he had people with him. Could they be after Calvin? She needed to warn Calvin.
Unfortunately, Calvin didn't have a phone. Otherwise, she would have called him directly. Now, she could only run back.
When Abigail got back to the rental house, only Cruz was there.
She dropped her suitcase and quickly ran to him.
Cruz was surprised to see her. "Abigail, why are you back? Weren't you leaving?" Abigail didn't have tto answer. She turned to the bedroom and knocked on the door. "Calvin! Calvin! Open up!" Cruz walked over and said, "Abigail, stop knocking. He just went out." "What? Where did he go?" Abigail asked, puzzled.
Cruz shook his head. "He said he was going to take out the trash. I offered to do it, but he insisted." Cruz suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened in shock. "Oh no, why hasn't he cback yet?" When Calvin cout of the bedroom, Cruz thought Calvin had finally caround and was going to eat. But Calvin had just taken a bag of trash and left. Cruz wanted to follow, but Calvin stopped him, saying he would be right back.
Last tCalvin went out, he cback acting strange. Cruz feared Calvin would change again if he went out. But Calvin had said, "If you follow me, you're not my subordinate." So, Cruz didn't dare to follow and stayed home, thinking Calvin would be back in a few minutes.
Now, seeing Abigail rush back, Cruz realized Calvin had been gone for half an hour.
"Abigail, what happened? Why are you in such hurry?" Cruz asked.
Abigail wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I was waiting for the ferry at the dock. But when it arrived, I saw Walter getting off. You've been following him for a long time, so you know who I'm talking about, right?" Cruz nodded. "I know. Why is he here?" Even though Cruz had been with Calvin for a long time, he didn't know the beef between Calvin and Walter, so he hadn't grasped how serious things were.
"I think he might be here for Calvin," Abigail speculated.
Cruz scratched his head. "What if he's here to help us?" Abigail glared at him. "Are you kidding me? If he was here to help, why didn't he do anything back in Arcturus? And if he was trustworthy, Calvin would've gone to him for help ages ago, instead of hiding out here." Cruz's eyes widened. "You're right! So what do we do?" "What else can we do? We need to find him, fast!" Abigail urged.
They hurried out, searching the nearby area, especially where the trash was taken out.
If Calvin had really gone out to take out the trash or was just wandering around and ran into Walter, it would be bad news.
Even if Walter didn't kill Calvin, he might take him back or get something else from him. Either way, it wouldn't be good.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find any trace of Calvin. Abigail stomped her foot in frustration. "Where on earth did that guy go?" Cruz was also anxious. "Oh no, could Calvin have been captured?" Abigail frowned. "It shouldn't be that fast. They have to register when they get on the island. Let's split up and search. Whether we find him or not, let's meet back here in half an hour." "Okay!" Cruz agreed.
They split up, one heading west and the other east.
Abigail had only run a few steps when she suddenly heard a bell from the dock, signaling the boarding of the ferry.
She hesitated for a moment but decided to keep searching for Calvin.
After all, he was Quinn's brother. Ensuring his safety was more important than going back.
Gritting her teeth, she ran while calling out Calvin's name.
It seemed as if Calvin had vanished into thin air. She couldn't find him anywhere. Where could he have gone in such a short time? Meanwhile, Quin was on her way. While in the car, she spotted Abigail looking around and quickly asked the driver to stop.
"Please stop the car. We'll get off here," Quinn said urgently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe driver pulled over, and Quinn opened the door, running quickly towards Abigail. "Abigail!" Abigail paused, thinking she was hearing things. How could she hear Quinn's voice here? Quinn called out again. "Abigail!" Abigail turned towards the voice and saw Quinn running towards her. She was both surprised and delighted. "Quinn!"
Abigail ran towards Quinn, and they reunited on the roadside. Abigail excitedly grabbed Quinn's hand. 'It's really you! How did you find this place?" Quinn, catching her breath, you! Howaid said, "I cto find Calvin. I didn't expect to find you here too. Is he with you?" Abigail was stunned. "I thought you were here to find me." "I wanted to find you, but you didn't even call me. How was I supposed to find you? But it seems like fate brought us together," Quinn said with a smile. Abigail smiled. "I was planning to go back today." "What about Calvin?" Quinn asked.
Abigail remembered the urgent matter. "Right, I'm looking for him. He's missing." "Missing? What do you mean?" Quinn asked, worried.
Abigail quickly explained the situation, including seeing Walter at the dock and Calvin's distracted behavior over the past few days.
Quinn's heart sank after she learned the situation. "Walter is here too?"
"Yes, that's why I'm looking for Calvin everywhere. I think he might know something, which is why hich is why he's been so out of it these past few days," Abigail said. Quinn frowned. "But what does he know? That Walter would come? Even if he knew, why would he act like that?"
Abigail's description didn't match Quinn's understanding of Calvin. If Calvin knew Walter was coming, he el would either confront him or find a way to leave. "Whatever he knows, the important thing now is to find him," Abigail said. Quinn realized. "Yes, we need to find him first!" Once they found Calvin, they would know everything. The priority was not to let Walter find him first.
Quinn looked back at Alexander. "Let's search separately." Alexander nodded. "Okay." So, they split up and searched in different directions.
Calvin hadn't been gone long, so he shouldn't be that hard to find unless he was hiding on purpose.
Quinn searched the nearby area for over ten minutes but still couldn't find him. She called Alexander, but he hadn't found him either.
However, Alexander saw Walter.
Walter was wearing his familiar dark red suit, followed by eight people. He said something, and three of them left the group, heading in different directions.
He walked down the street as if he were taking a stroll. Suddenly, he turned his head and locked eyes with Alexander from a distance.
He smiled and walked towards Alexander.
"What a coincidence, running into you again," Walter said.
