The Case on Valentine's Day. Part 6.
Mai's Pov
Before I could leave base, I bump into someone. Without looking up, I bow my head in embarrassment and start to apologize.
"I'm so...sorry."
"It's alright, mate." Comes John's soft voice. He looks down at my hands. "Would you like some help with that?" He questions. I shake my head.
"No, thank you." I say, smiling at John's kindness. "Would you like some though?" I question, pointing to the tea bags.
"Yes, please." He responds. Afterwards, I walk out of base to make some tea. Once inside the kitchen, I walk up to the cabinets where the cups are kept and proceed to take out eight cups. Then I feel a chill go down my spine... I carefully look around the kitchen, but I don't see anything. I shake off the feeling of someone watching me and continue with my task. But I don't notice the person sneaking up behind me.
"I'll make sure you and your friends don't solve this case." Came the threatening voice before my whole world went black.
General pov
After Mai was knocked out, the man picked her up and put her over his shoulder. He walked out of the building. When he gets to his car, he opens the back door and put Mai inside ungracefully. Once his hostage was taken care of, he gets into the driver's side and pulls a piece of paper with a pen and started to wright the ransom note.
The note read:
the same fate. You have been warned.""If you want to see the young woman again, stop your investigation into Oliver Jenkins' death. or the woman will suffer
The man steps out of his car and walks back inside, putting the note on the back door facing the kitchen. After he is done with that, he walks back to his car and drives away.
