Chapter 168: Field of Roses
Derick went straight to the hospital. He was blocked by some of the local cops who wanted to get more details about the creature Rory saw in the woods.
Of course, finding filets of human flesh would ring many alarm bells and they will have to conduct a detailed investigation now that the press is on it.
Derick asked them to contact the LA police department to contact her as she is not answering his calls. They told him that she had broken her phone during her visit there and no one is being able to contact her. They asked him if he could contact Lennon because they cannot get through to him. They could only contact his lawyers.
Derick’s heart sank to his abdomen. Rory left with Lennon. No one can contact Rory and Lennon is making himself unavailable. Lennon was not answering his calls either. He did not find that right.
Derick asked them if they found Sidney yet. He also added that he had a gut feeling that she would be in LA. He had to mobilize the police there and as an agent who is "on vacation," he cannot do anything.
He cursed the timing of it all in his heart.
"She’s with Lennon! You know something, don’t you?" Derick almost grabbed Mrs. Delport by her collar.
"With him?" Mrs. Delport raised her brows. There was no surprise in them. Derick knew that she is following it all closely.
"What am I going to do about it?" she asked.
Derick wanted to curse out at her, but he ran out of the hospital. It is no use trusting anyone. He should go there and find Rory himself.
-----
Rory scrunched in the corner of the room. She did a quick sweep to the better of her abilities to find out if that area was bugged. Lennon specifically asked her to stay in that room and she didn’t find that very assuring.
