Chapter 399: Kidnapping (3)
Rose’s body trembled as the cold air pierced her bones. Her btrench coat couldn’t resist the wind that blew from the sea a few meters ahead. If only she could have foreseen an incident like this, she would have worn a thicker winter jacket.
She walked faster while tightening her coat, ignoring the chill in her body. For several minutes following, the visible tire tracks on the snow-covered road made her impatient. She wanted to find a black Van immediately—time was precious now—afraid the bandits would hurt her cousin, Keira. But, after passing several warehouses, he didn’t see the car.
The soundlessness in that place made Rose’s fear begin to appear again.
What if this place is haunted?
He doesn’t like creepy things—like ghosts. So, throughout her life, she rarely watched horror movies.
"God!! If you are near me, please, keep me away from such things...." She silently prayed. But a second later, Rose cursed herself. "Stupid girl!! There’s no ghost during the day!?"
She laughed silently as she quickened her pace.
Not long after, she saw the last shabby gray warehouse near the beach. There was a huge parking lot, but no vehicle was seen there. Only a few rusty containers were stacked in several places in the parking area.
As if the warehouse was waiting for her, its gates opened wide. And just like the warehouse, the security post where people supposedly stay to guard it was empty.
"This must be the place! Is it?" Rose wondered.
She scanned the surroundings to see if the kidnappers were hiding in not-easily-see spots. However, after observing for a while, she didn’t notice any movement in the warehouse area with two large doors—closed tightly.
