NovelEnglishChapter 281 Meanwhile, over in Joshua's world, things were spiraling. The moment he got Sabrina's call and heard Allison was missing, his mind immediately jumped to Chris. Since Chris had cback to the States, he'd been like a ghost, always slipping through the cracks, armed with a fake identity and a phone number that wasn't even his. Joshua had no way to reach him, and waiting around was driving him up the wall.
The thought of Allison being in danger had his vision going dark and his heart pounding like a drum. Breathing felt like a chore. But he forced himself to stay cool, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number. "I need to meet Wesley," he said, urgency lacing his voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as he hung up, his phone buzzed with an unknown number. His gut told him it was Chris, and he picked up on the first ring.
"Evening, big brother," cthe voice, dripping with mischief.
Joshua's heart skipped a beat. "Did you kidnap Allie?" he demanded.
Chris chuckled, "Allie." There was a pause, then he added in that lazy drawl of his, "Looks like I got the right person. You still have feelings for her." Joshua's temper flared. "If you've got a beef, it's with me. Leave Allie out of it!" A soft laugh cfrom Chris. "Don't worry, she's here because of you." "Where are you?" Joshua shot back, urgency in every word.
Chris rattled off an address and added, "Tomorrow morning at eight. Csolo. If you even think about calling the cops, she'll vanish without a trace." Fast forward to the next day, and we find ourselves at a rundown site in the outskirts of a border state. It was supposed to be a flashy amusement park once, but when the money dried up, the developers bailed, leaving it as a hotspot for film crews looking for a gritty backdrop.
After Allison was snatched last night, she was driven for about a half-hour before they stopped in sopen field. Her mouth was taped and a black hood was shoved over her head. She felt herself being led up ssteps, and the sudden whir of helicopter blades hit her ears. She was being airlifted, and she had no clue how long they were airborne. But eventually, they touched down.

She could feel it speeding down the road; if not for the seatbelt, she might have been tossed around like a ragdoll during the sharp turns. The car screeched to a halt after a while, the door flung open, and she was yanked out with no gentleness whatsoever.
"Chris, she's here," ca voice she recognized from last night-the guy who moved like a cat in the dark.
Hearing "Chris" again sent a shiver down her spine. This was the guy who nearly killed her. Joshua had warned her-Chris was a lunatic, no emotions, no humanity. Even before Chris spoke, Allison felt her heart squeeze tight and fear creep up her spine. Was today her last day?
Suddenly, the hood was whipped off, in total and after a night Cops the daylight made her head spin, her legs wobble. But she steadied herself, refusing to fall. "Ms. Allison, fancy meeting you here," Chris said, his grin almost mocking.
Once Allison got her bearings, she looked up, and her breath caught She'd seen him before. That day at the restaurant when Joy was feeling down, they'd run into a mysterious couple. And here he was, the man from that day.
