Chapter 81: Chapter 81

“wh-at?” I drawled. I couldn't believe it

“it was the doctor's wife who recognized her as the missing girl on the news. She ran back upstairs immediately and phoned us. That was a very lucky step for her and her daughter because just a minute after that, Eduardo shot the doctor” the police man said

My eyes widened

“what! Dead?” I asked in disbelief

“luckily, he's not dead. But he might not make it.”

I gulped down and tried to comprehend what was just revealed. Eduardo shot someone, he shot his own doctor? How could Eduardo do that? What was he thinking? No way, he can't do something like that.

What I'm I even saying? The proof is right here in my hands. He even kidnapped my girlfriend and pretended to feel bad for me. Oh goodness

“where's my girlfriend now?” I asked after I lifted my head up

“we still haven't traced them. He ran off with her immediately he shot the doctor”

I scoffed. I actually thought they were already found. I feel so disappointed right now

I ran my fingers through my hair in desperation.

“don't worry, we already know the abductor. All we have to do is find him and get your girl” the police man said as if he knew what was in my mind

“you have to get her. If Eduardo can kill in cold blood then she's in big danger” I said and the man nodded.

“we'll get to you when we get more information”

“thank you” I said and stood up. I left the office and walked out of the building. I entered my car and didn't know exactly where to drive to.

I just rested my head on the steering wheel and hoped Eduardo won't hurt my girlfriend

I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. I was lying down on the sand in a beach. I sat up immediately and placed my hands beside me. The ocean was right in front of me and my feet were even touching the water.

I looked behind me and didn't see anyone else. I was all alone.

I stood up and saw that my hands were free. I wasn't handcuffed anymore. I can finally escape.

But where am I?

I began to walk hurriedly away from the beach hoping I'd see someone. I saw someone moments later but unfortunately it was Eduardo.

I gasped and he saw me. I frowned and began to run away. He yelled at me to come back but I was determined to run away even when I didn't know where I was running to

I looked up and saw him catching up with me. I screamed and looked in front of me. A tree was right in front of me and I ran into it. I hit my head hard on it and also my left knee and I fell down.

I groaned and pressed my head.

He showed up above me and laughed

“you're going to get a big red bump on your forehead. Hahaha” he mocked and I frowned and punched him in between his legs with the hand I used to press my head.

He groaned and fell on his knees. I stood up and tried to run but my knee stung me that I almost fell down. I looked back and he was still groaning. Good! I used my whole energy to kick him in the...!

I began to limp-run farther away from Eduardo. I heard cars moving so I kept going towards that direction. It was really cold that morning and I was left wearing my dirty short dress that felt heavy on me instead of being light as it should be.

I got to the road and heaven so kind, two police cars were approaching. I began to scream and wave my hands in the air

“help me! Help me please! Help!”

The cars got closer and stopped. I began to leap towards them

“help me! You have to help me please” I said.

A police officer stepped out and gasped

“it's her! It's Miss Cruz!” he yelled and his colleagues came out of the car too. Two of them ran to me and held me. I was breathing heavily

“please sit down here. Calm down and just breathe in. You're safe now” a female officer said to me. She helped me to sit by the edge of the road on the grass and handed me water. I took it and gulped down half the bottle

“he's still there. Eduardo is still there” I muttered to her. She faced the other men

“search the area! Eduardo is still around here. Call for assistance” she said.

Right then Eduardo ran out in search of me and they all sighted him. One of them screamed and two officers pointed their guns at him

“freeze!” he yelled. Eduardo froze and then began to run back. Well they began to pursue him. Two other officers joined them and I was left with the female officer and one other male officer.

“we have to take you to the station now” the female officer said and helped me up
