Chapter 182 (1/2)

A few days ago, when Mason got off froe where it was still raining And Haley’s cousin Joy lived there

It was Joy who took the picture of Mason going inside the hotel room with Noah, and it was Sandra who posted it on Twitter first And after that, Anna, Jason, Colin and everybody had shared the picture a, ‘fuck you’ If Noah hadn’t held his hand and did so, Mason would’ve been seriously fucked

He did bla careless even when he knew that Joy was following hi, ‘You fucked !’

He went inside a big loves and a raincoat, and a scary looking kitchen knife It was easier to kill a person with a gun, but there was nothing else better than a knife to put a person in fear

Mason wore the black clothes and the cap underneath the rain coat and went to Joy’s house Because it was a pretty nice condominium, CCTV was installed in many different places However, it seemed like a professional didn’t install them because there were a lot of blind spots

He pressed the doorbell and waited, but there was no sound co beforehand and hid or pretending not there? Mason htlessly turned the door knob The door opened very easily, and Mason frowned

This wasn’t in his agenda He cautiously peered over the edge and opened the door widely, to be confronted with chaos Mason slowly scanned the inside It could be a thief’s or a robber’s handiwork, but he kneasn’t First, neither was there a bloodstain nor a knife or a bullet mark anywhere Ee It was h the area

She had run away –Mason blinked in surprise and licked his lips She was probably scared of causing the probleuard she just ran away? It eird that she’d packed her stuff hurriedly like that and left

With a nagging feeling, he left Joy’s house and went to Aunt Anna’s house four blocks away It was the same there too Uncle Jason, Jordan, Sandra and everyone; nobody answered Mason’s call To be more accurate, their phone numbers were erased

Mason thought about it a little and called Pitzroy Greenhao at Zii, and as now a private detective in LA

“What?”

Mason asked Pitzroy again Pitzroy patiently repeated his e

[Joy Clank first went to her friend’s house in Santa Monica About two hours later she got chased by someone out of there, went to a small motel and abandoned her two kids there -Ah, the kids are being sent to a shelter to theblack and, disappeared, nowhere to be found She could be anywhere]

Mason frowned He had requested Pitzroy to find Joy, Jason, Anna and others

“What does that mean?”

[Are you gonna keep askinga recorder]

[That will tell you instead of me] Pitzroy sounded annoyed, and Mason realized that it wasn’t a simile or a metaphor All the traces have been erased, as in ‘disappeared’, so that Pitroy couldn’t track

“All of them?”

[Finally, we are talking]

Pitzroy asked, [Are they good people?]

[I s for them]

He said, [‘You have to give ht about it a little and cleanly said, “No, it’s okay”

[It’s okay? You are not gonna look for them?]

“No, I’ for them because I’m close to them

He just wanted to check if they were planning to cause any new trouble, or if they had so to cause any more problems Pitzroy said, [Wow, cold-] and blehistle

[Those people, they ht be dead]

“So?”

Mason added indifferently ‘Why should I bother?’ They weren’t his relatives; also even if they were blood related, he didn’t care

The other person licked his lips, knowing he had lost an opportunity to earn more money

[True I also felt dangerous doing this job It’s good to stop here but]

[Mumble, mumble] Pitroy seemed to hesitate, as if he felt he should finish the job he started and ly
