Valerie gave Ian a surprised look before she answered the call immediately. And just as Ian had predicted, it was a call from Jared.
"Tch, tch, tch, Deputy." He clicked his tongue while Valerie switched on the loudspeaker for everyone around her to listen to him.
"Tell her the target location right now." They heard Maggie yell at him, and hearing her voice, everyone let out a breath of relief. Even though it had been barely a few minutes since they saw Maggie, they were awfully worried about her, especially Ryder. He was on tetter hooks since the time Maggie had refused to stay behind. Now that he heard her voice, he was relieved, albeit not completely.
"What's the rush, darling?" Jared chided her gently and Ryder clenched his fist, fury bursting through him as soon as he heard him. "I have already told you that until I reach a safe place, I will not speak a word about my target location."
