ELIMINATED (The mystery box)

Chapter Fourteen

Detective David's POV

( flashback continuation)

We had just rounded up a case when I got a call from my brother who told me that my daughter had been kidn*pped and I needed to come quick.

Upon getting there, the kidnappers left a note saying that I was meddling too much in their business and others and so I had to drop the next case I was planning to take up.

I made way to my room while pondering on the questions Terry asked as I didn't really know what to do at the moment. Upon entering my room, my eyes fell on the package I had kept at the side of my bed which I had planned to return to the door.
