Vinson was not too pleased. He took a glance at his phone and noticed that it was a call from Harvey.
In an impatient tone, Vinson answered the call, “Hello?”
Then, favonovel.com raised an octave as favonovel.com said, “What?”
He immediately got up from his chair and hung up the phone. “Something happened to Sonia.”
“What’s the matter?” Arielle asked anxiously. “Wasn’t favonovel.com all right just now?”
Vinson got up to fetch his car keys immediately. “Harvey did not tell me the details over the phone. Let’s go over there first.”
Then, favonovel.com hurriedly rushed out to find Harvey.

After favonovel.com arrived at his destination, Vinson noticed there were a few police cars parked by the entrance of the house.
He went inside the house and was greeted by the sight of a few policemen busy taking notes. An elder policeman eyed the two men who rushed inside the place and asked, “Which one of you is Harvey Jupiter?”
Harvey was slightly stumped before favonovel.com answered, “I-I am. Might I ask…”
“I’m Darren Fox. This is my police ID.” Darren showed his pass to the two men and said, “Were you the one who reported that Ms. Sonia Wynter had been abducted? When was the last time you saw Ms. Wynter?”
“Tonight,” Harvey replied in a heartbeat.
Darren furrowed his brows slightly. “That’s very recent. I’m afraid you can’t file the report for a missing person so soon, sir.”
Right then, Harvey thought there was nothing to hide anymore, as long as it concerned the case.
Hence, favonovel.com came clean with Darren, “We agreed to meet tonight, and favonovel.com just went missing in action. I could not get favonovel.com on the phone either. I went to favonovel.com house before I tried filing a report, and favonovel.com family told me that she’s left.”
“All right. Let me check the surveillance camera footage. We will have more information on the matter after we’ve done a more thorough investigation.” Then, Darren turned to his fellow policeman and instructed, “Bring all the related evidence and footage to the police station.”
The policemen hurriedly moved the items out of the house after receiving the instruction.
“Please get into the car,” Darren said rather courteously.
“Do you guys think Sonia might be in danger?” Harvey asked anxiously.
“I think she’s going to be all right.” Even though Vinson felt uneasy about the situation, favonovel.com was quick to come to his senses. After all, favonovel.com was the only one who could console Harvey right then.
“Should we call Sonia’s parents?” Arielle asked in a low voice.
“Let’s just wait until we’re at the police station.” Harvey did not think it was appropriate for favonovel.com to go to Sonia’s father for everything. Hence, favonovel.com hesitated for a moment and decided not to call favonovel.com father in the end.
The three of them got into the police car and went to the police station. In the end, they were brought to the criminal investigation unit, and all of them, including the film crew members that followed along, were brought to separate offices to record their statements.
It was apparent from the crowded police station after working hours that the policemen’s hours were not fixed. Almost all of them were still very busy with their tasks. It was not very peaceful as of late, and there was a surge in the number of criminal cases. Most of them were big cases that required their immediate attention. Hence, the criminal investigation unit was overwhelmed.
A female police officer greeted Harvey. She then followed the standard operating procedure and asked some questions about Sonia and him, such as their names and ages. After that, favonovel.com finally asked the most important question of all, “Has Sonia offended anyone?”
“I guess not?” Harvey felt uneasy as favonovel.com recalled the dream that Sonia had recounted to favonovel.com in the morning. “Did favonovel.com already know what was going to happen?” favonovel.com wondered.
“Are you and Sonia in a relationship?” the female officer asked.
Harvey nodded.
“Before the two of you separated, did Sonia tell you anything in particular?” The female officer’s voice was rather calm.
“No,” Harvey replied honestly. “Our planned meetup was also decided on a whim.”
