Female Novel
Chapter 665
As Luther stood in the Second Precinct lobby, everything around him seemed to become so unreal.novelbin
Why would he feel he had been through the same thing in the past?
Had he experienced the same tense atmosphere before? Why would he have such a panicky feeling
now? His thoughts, breathing, and heartbeat were disorganized and out of control.
After making arrangements properly for the internal affairs of the police department, Officer Franklin
walked into the lobby and saw Luther was still there.
He walked up and said, "Mr. Warner, the SWAT team that had been sent out to rescue Victor just now
came back, and they reported that before Victor fell into a coma, he told them that the person who was
after him was Ricky. Judging from the residual traces at the scene, they were pretty sure he was
carrying a heavy gun. There may be someone else backing him up, and the person who has sabotaged
the police system should also be him!"
"Ricky?!" Luther almost thought he heard it wrong, "Ricky? The lieutenant following Charlotte?"
"Yes, that's him." Franklin glanced at Luther. Though he wasn’t that interested in his private life,
everyone in town knew that the Warner family and the Heath family just had an engagement.
"So, Mr. Warner, I'm sorry. You cannot stay in the police station. Because you are related to the Heath
family by marriage. Right now, we don't know the purpose of Ricky's move and who else is behind the
whole thing. Captain hasn't told me much about it before. To avoid suspicion, you cannot be informed
of any further details of the incident." Franklin said reluctantly.
"Avoiding suspicion?" Luther's eyes widened. Did they even think he and Ricky were in cahoots?
"I'm not related to Charlotte, I'm not engaged to her, and I'm not related to the Heath family. Now, all I
want to know is what happened to Joyce." Luther said, annoyed.
"All I know ... is that Victor said that Captain and Joyce saved him together, and I'm not sure about the
rest. However, according to our analysis, since Captain was wounded, Joyce probably hid him there in
order to protect him. And she would continue to lure Ricky away," Franklin said, his face more and
more serious, "Captain has previously told us that once the communication is restored, we should
immediately locate his phone and Joyce's phone and send backup immediately."
"So Ricky's target, originally, was Joyce?" said Luther, analyzing the pile of fragmented information.
"Probably." Franklin nodded.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Warner, I can’t tell you more. Please leave the police station. We are repairing our
system, and once the communication is restored, we cannot disclose our plan to you. The reason why I
have revealed so much to you is because we once worked together in the kidnapping case. But, I'm
sorry, I really can't do it this time." Franklin regrettably made a "please" gesture.
Now under such a critical situation, he did not know exactly which side Luther was on, and it was only
right that he could not let Luther know about the details.
"I ..."
Luther felt powerless and had no idea what to say to explain himself. He was surprisingly questioned
for his stance.
He felt an inexplicable panic. If he could not even know what happened, should he just wait?
Waiting for Joyce to be in danger? Perhaps she would get killed and he did nothing at all? He could
only wait to be notified of the final outcome and could not help in any way?
The key was that Joyce was now facing Ricky alone, and even Karl was not with her.
And how should she cope with that?
He was politely shown out of the police station by the officers and stood outside the gate, bewildered.
With his noble status, he had never been rejected like that. He felt powerless all over. The busy police
officers kept passing him by.
