Chapter 8: We Found Miss Rory!
Recovering from his shock and denial, Alex picked up his cell phone and called Patrick again. He asked him to find out which hospital the police were taking the SUV driver to.
He needed to see it to convince himself that the driver was not Aurora. He refused to believe that it was her.
"Alex, why are you sure the SUV belonged to Sister Rory? Can we wait for a while? The person I asked to check the crime scene hasn't called me back..." Patrick's voice trembled with fear. Although he already knew the answer, he was too afraid to tell Alex the truth.
Alex's growl made Patrick freeze. He could only press his lips tightly and wait for further instructions.
"Patrick, have you lost your memory and failed to recall who you are? For God's sake, hack the CCTV on the street! Track Aurora's car after she left my parents' house. I think there's footage from another car passing by or—" Alex's voice trailed off when he remembered something.
"Alex, okay I'll check again..." Patrick hurriedly responded.
Later, only the "clack clack" of his fingers dancing across the keyboard filled the air as he hacked into CCTV cameras along the Pine Hill road.
However, shortly after, Alex spoke again, distracting Patrick.
"Can you see my car's dash cam? What about Rory's car? She drove her Volvo today," he asked.
"I can see your dash cam from here but can't see Rory's car. Well, that's impossible. Because she refused to connect her car dashcam to my system."
Alex's shoulders slumped upon hearing Patrick's answer.
