Chapter 880 - What Is Your Name? (1/2)
”I have no other choice, I have to take her to the police station to check the missing child reports,” Nicolae told Marion. ”If there isn't any, I will let them make an announcement about the child.”
”Hmm ... you said, you found this child held captive on the boat? While you go to the police station, I would look for the scoundrels and extract information,” Marion told him.
”Oh, you're right. I almost forgot those assholes,” Nicolae agreed. ”Sorry, to trouble you.”
”No problem. After I take Jean-Marie to meet her agency this afternoon, I will stop by and look for the boat.”
”Oh, by the way... I took a picture of them,” Nicolae took out his cellphone and sent two photos of the criminals he took yesterday to Marion's phone. ”You must not beat up the wrong persons.”
Marion just chuckled. ”Then, I'll take my leave. Summer dear, Auntie will have to go now. We will meet again tonight, okay?”
Summer nodded and waved at Marion, who excused herself from the penthouse. Nicolae then put on Summer's shoes and invited her to go to the police station.
On the way there, he repeatedly asked Summer questions to ensure that the child did not experience severe trauma due to being held captive by criminals. But after he heard the little girls' description, Nicolae finally breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently, Summer had not been held captive for a long time. The girl said that she was still walking in the park with her dog the day before.
”Did they kidnap you up at the park?” Nicolae asked, trying to investigate what had happened.
Summer shook her head again. ”I don't remember, Uncle Nic.”
”Oh ... it's fine then.” Nicolae then tried to distract Summer from horrible experience and asked about her dog. ”What's your dog's name?”
”My dog's name is Koi,” Summer said, her face started to brighten. She looked very happy when she remembered about her dog. ”Koi is very good at finding mushrooms. We often search for mushrooms in the park.”
”Oh ... really? That's great ...” Nicolae praised her sincerely. ”Do you often go to the park with your mother and father?”
Summer shook her head. ”I don't have a father.”
”Oh ...” Nicolae was stunned by the little girl's answer. He suspected that Summer's father and mother had separated, or her father had died. ”I'm sorry to hear that.”
They arrived at the police station before lunchtime. They were immediately served by a female officer who received Nicolae's report efficiently.
She examined all reports of missing children and made sure no reports filed by parents who lost a child with characteristics that fit Summer's profile. She then immediately made a report on the missing child found. When she was about to take a photo of Summer so she could pass it on the internet, Nicolae suddenly thought of something and tried to prevent it.
”Uhm ... can we make a report of a missing child without photos?” asked the young man. He remembered that Summer's parent seemed to be trying hard to protect their daughter's privacy. They never let her get caught on camera in public places.
Of course, she must have her own reasons. If Summer's face was plastered everywhere, maybe it would not be good for her safety.
”How can we make a report on a missing child being found without her picture?” asked Officer Garby in astonishment. ”It would be very difficult.”
”What if you mention her physical characteristics in the report?” Nicolae asked. He then turned to Summer. ”Honey ... do you want us to find your mother?”
