Chapter 37 - Questions for Haley

Haley immediately felt restless after the call. She paced around the scene of the crime without thinking about even the dead man on the ground. Eric and Brain watched in confusion as she was pacing around.

"How is possible that they have the person that abducted her?

She immediately brought out her phone to place a call to Pedro but the number didn't go through. She wondered what was happening that even his number was not going through. She ensured the service in her secret home was very good so anyone could reach her. The only possible reason would be Pedro left the house and that means Klinsmann would have been able to get to him easily.

"Maam what is happening? you have been restless since that call came in" Brain dared to ask not sure if it was out of place to ask.

"I just received a news from Klinsmann that he has the abductor in my case " Haley informed them absent mindedly.

"That's a good news then, you shouldn't be looking restless then" Eric reminded her.

At once Haley knew she was sending a wrong message if she continued to act that way.

"There is something that just feels wrong about it. Anyway Brain get some pictures from this scene while Eric I want you to see if you can get anything from their system. We should be out of here in fifteen minutes' Haley ordered walking away from them as she came out to continue making calls to Pedro. Her frustrstion increasing with each failure to reach him.

She took a stroll around the mall in a bid to calm herself down. She needed Eric and Brain to round up early so they can all go to the station together. She would need to see who they have at hand.

"Detective Haley, you would need to answer my question or I will be forced to arrest you" a voice came from behind her.

She looked back to see Inspector Victor standing behind her with a serious look on his face to drive home the fact that he wasn't joking.

"Since you have the CCTv footage you should be able to know why I had him detained. He was walking with a suspicious man hence I ordered for him to be kept. Now the manager is saying he was killed by the same man. So for what reason will you abduct me? She asked looking at him with a frown in her face.

"How did you know this particular man is dangerous? He asked further not satisfied with her answer.

"When I arrived at the mall, I saw him driving out roughly. He seem like he had committed a crime and was only trying to escape. As an experience detective I asked to see the footage of this particular to maybe get an idea of why he ran out that way. It was simply out of curiosity. It was then I discovered he came in with a suspicious bag and that particular didn't search him at all. Instead he even gave him the key to the roof of the building. I believed something was wrong then hence I said he should be detained till I come back to question him" Haley quickly gave him a story as she didn't want to tell him what really happened as that would involve Pedro and even her father as the investigation might spill to her house.

"Then why didn't you question him immediately? Why did you have to take that long? Inspector Victor asked again

"I have another case that took my attention at that time. Incase you don't know I am in charge of looking for the killers of the miniter's daughter Joan. " Haley haf to be specific on the case so he would get a rough idea about how busy she could have get.

She could tell Inspector Victor wasn't totally buying the idea and she dreaded his next question.

"Maam we are done" Eric And Brain chorused some distance from them
