Desires Die Hard

“Mr. Ford, go to the press conference. I’ll keep looking for them. Melissa is crazy,” Evan said to Dennis with a frown after coming to his senses.

Dennis said sincerely, “Mr. Welton, thank you.”

Then he left with his bodyguards and went to organize the

press

conference.

Evan stayed here and waited for Hayden to bring him the security tapes around the villa.

Five minutes later, Hayden rushed in with a laptop. He turned the laptop on. “Mr. Welton, Melissa shut off most of the surveillance cameras except for this one in the corner. We find her in the security tape.”

Hayden opened a video.

They saw Melissa dragging Paige to her car with a knife. Melissa was brutal and malignant.

Evan’s expression darkened. He said in a deep voice, “Find where she went.”

Hayden had found where Melissa went before Evan asked. “She drove out of the town and disappeared.”

“What do you mean?”

“There are no surveillance cameras on that road. We lost her, Hayden replied carefully.

Evan stared at the computer. “Give me the roadmap.”

Hayden nodded. He typed something and opened a roadmap of Nordeny.

His fingers moved on the touch screen.

He blew up the picture and stopped when he saw the road that Melissa had taken.

Melissa had a choice of paths up ahead, one to the Wonder Mountain and the other one to the

suburb.

Melissa was more likely to go to the suburb.

But the mountain was a good place to hide. Or, Melissa took neither of them. She might be waiting around.

Evan looked serious when he stared at the roadmap. After a while, he said to Hayden, Take some people to the suburb.”

Hayden was confused. “Do you think that Melissa went to the suburb?*

“I don’t have time to guess. You go to the suburb, and I will go up into the mountain.” Evan turned.

the laptop off and threw it to Hayden.

Hayden held the laptop and went to the suburb with some bodyguards.

Evan and the others went up into the mountain.

It was half past two in the afternoon.

Evan drove to the top of the mountain. There was an old church and some trees.

Evan got out of the car. He looked around and saw nobody. The church closed, which was weird. He remembered that it closed at 5 PM.

Why did it close so early today?

Evan walked to the church. Suddenly, he saw the tire marks on the ground.

The marks went all the way to the left of the church.

There was a path to a forest in the mountain.

Melissa might drive into the forest.

Evan turned to his bodyguard and signaled him to knock on the door.

The bodyguard tapped on the door with his knuckles.

A nun opened the door soon. She asked softly, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

The bodyguard stepped back and showed her a picture of Paige. “Have you seen the girl?”

The nun got panicky when she saw the photo. However, the bodyguard didn’t notice it as he kept his distance from her.

“No.”

“Thank you.” The bodyguard turned around.

The nun closed the door quickly, but Evan walked over and pushed it open again. The nun staggered and stepped back. She looked flustered. “Sir, what are you doing?”

Evan smiled meaningfully. “Are you sure that you are going to hide a criminal in your church?”
