Chapter 108 - Plan Charlie (2/2)

At that moment, Amelie suddenly heard 3 gunshots echo from the valley. ”Jackson...” she whispered as her heart sank.

Amelie quickly got back in her car and drove back down the road looking for signs of suspicion. She had to find Jackson before he disappeared forever. But, nothing looked out of the ordinary.

Just as she was falling into a panic, she suddenly received a phone call from Alexander, ”Interpol intercepted a call for help from a nearby farmhouse. An old couple heard gunshots from their barn.”

”I'll be right there,” Amelie replied as she immediately drove to the farmhouse where the call was made. But...the driveway was sealed by a gate with padlocks and there was no car around.

Were the gunshots definitely related to Gogh and Jackson? If so, how did Gogh get into the property?

Amelie couldn't waste time standing​ around guessing, so she jumped the gate and started running down the driveway. Eventually, she spotted a little barn beside the main house. An old couple could be seen, peeking out of the window of their house curiously.

Amelie pulled out her badge and gestured for them to hide. She then snuck up to the barn carefully. As she got closer, she spotted Gogh's car parked nearby and her heart sank. This was not a good sign.

She crept up to the door and tried to listen for noise, but all she heard was the neigh of a horse.

Carefully, she peeked inside. Her heart was pounding so hard, it felt like it was jumping out of her chest.

But...her heart quickly stopped when she saw the bloody scene inside.

Her entire body froze as she held her breath.

”Jackson!” she cried as she dropped her gun in shock and ran towards a body lying in a pool of blood.
