Audrey Sutton walked and talked: "Nothing really happened, I’m not even sure, but I just felt strange. When I was buying bubble tea in the shop, there was a guy who glanced at ."
"Did he think you looked pretty?"
Audrey Sutton imdiately shook her head: "Not that kind of look, it was... I can’t even describe it, just very strange, and the guy was dressed weirdly too. It’s so hot but he was all covered up, just felt abnormal."
"Did you get a good look at him?"
Audrey Sutton inserted the straw into her bubble tea cup, took a sip, and then replied: "Didn’t see clearly, we only made eye contact for a fraction of a second before he disappeared. But that look was very strange. I still feel unsettled when I think about it."
Audrey Sutton initially ntioned it casually, thinking Shane might just listen casually and then remind her to be careful when going out, but she didn’t expect he took it quite seriously, saying: "I’ll have soone check the surveillance later."
Audrey Sutton felt it might be overreacting: "...Let it be. It’s too much trouble. I’m not even sure if that guy actually has issues, it might just have been a coincidence."
She ntioned it just to share her internal speculation, maybe she had been paranoid lately due to the consecutive murderer incident.
Shane: "Clearing things up will make us feel safer."
If it was rely a coincidence, that’s fine, but in case there was indeed soone scheming sothing, he couldn’t be careless.
Audrey Sutton wasn’t worried about that serial killer because she felt she had no grievances or intersections with that killer. Even revenge killing was unlikely.
She was guessing if Nolan Hawke bore a grudge because she shut him down that day, seeking revenge on her.
She wasn’t soone who unnecessarily instigated hatred, but it was Nolan Hawke’s fault in the first place, not hers.
However, Audrey Sutton still hoped it was just her illusion, as she wanted to shop and eat carefree like before.
Half an hour later, Shane received the surveillance video from that area on his phone and tracked this person’s route via other cara footage, but none showed the person’s face properly.
Every single cara seed perfectly avoided, which did not seem like a coincidence, more like the deliberate action of soone with counter-surveillance awareness.
This also sowhat confird Audrey Sutton’s earlier suspicion. Whether this person was targeting her or not, it was certain this person was abnormal.
Audrey Sutton snapped a few pictures and sent them to Franklin Sutton: "Second brother, do you think this person looks like the suspect you’re looking for?"
Audrey Sutton was not sure; she just associated this strange person she encountered with the suspect yet to be caught.
About ten minutes later, Franklin Sutton replied: "Your pictures only show it’s a human, nothing else visible, but the body shape does indeed have so similarity. Where did you encounter him?"
Audrey Sutton explained the situation to Franklin Sutton, not knowing if it counted as a valuable clue.
Sunday morning, nine o’clock, hospital.
The corridor of the inpatient departnt beca chaotic, dical staff hurriedly pushed an elderly person to the ergency room.
Clarissa Morgan’s manager arrived at the hospital afterward. She smartly declared to the public that she was assisting an elderly person.
This not only earned her a good reputation but also provided a legitimate reason to stay at the hospital to care for the elderly.
Across the road from the hospital, under a big tree, a man in a black hoodie was looking towards the hospital.
A bland-looking van was parked by the hospital entrance, and a man dressed plainly was standing by the van, smoking, occasionally glancing around as if waiting for soone.
The hooded man took out an old-fashioned phone from his pocket and dialed a number: "Sister Morgan, how’s my mom doing?"
Clarissa Morgan: "I have soone at the hospital. It’s full of undercover cops. You better not go."
The hooded man glanced at the man by the van across the road and silently hid behind the tree: "Sister Morgan, I don’t want to die. I helped you get rid of that woman. Can you find a way to let live?"
On the other end, Clarissa Morgan was silent for two seconds before answering: "Alright, I’ll find a way for you. But you must act today, no matter what ans you use. Even if you get caught on the spot, I’ll find a way to rescue you."
"Really?"
"Getting soone out of the precinct is not a big deal for ."
"...Thank you, Sister Morgan."
"Don’t be too quick to thank , do the task I’ve given you well, I won’t mistreat you."
"Alright, I’ll go now, Sister Morgan, please handle my mom’s side for ."
On the other end, Clarissa Morgan hung up the phone and mocked with a laugh.
To her, it’s not worth sacrificing too much for a pawn.
Moreover, Nathan Finnegan knew too much, the foolproof way to keep these secrets was to silence them.
Audrey Sutton woke up naturally, just like yesterday.
Unlike yesterday, Shane was still lying beside her.
Upon opening her eyes, she saw him watching her, Audrey Sutton smiled gently and snuggled up to him, asking: "Why aren’t you going to work today?"
Shane played with her hair and casually answered: "Can’t I take a day off for myself?"
Audrey Sutton teased: "Shouldn’t you be working hard during this ti to earn more money for baby formula?"
Shane: "Right now, I shouldn’t be rushing to earn money for baby formula, but should first work on making the little one who will need it."
Surprised at his sudden boldness, Audrey Sutton gave him a surprised look, sat up from his embrace, got out of bed, and said while heading to the bathroom: "Hurry and make breakfast, I’m starving."
"Wasn’t it always you making breakfast for ? How co you’re getting lazier?"
Audrey Sutton justified: "I usually do it, can’t you make it for this rare ti you have off?"
Shane chuckled and followed her out of bed.
It was rare for Shane to have ti to rest, plus the weather was nice today, so after breakfast, they went out to the supermarket together to buy so groceries and get her so snacks.
Because it was the weekend and the supermarket had promotions, it was incredibly crowded.
Shane pushed the shopping cart with one hand and held Audrey Sutton’s hand with the other, afraid she’d only focus on the snacks on the shelves and end up losing herself.
Outside the supermarket, two sedans parked one after the other at the roadside.
Inside, the male passenger picked up the walkie-talkie and communicated with his colleague: "Boss, suspect found at Dragonwell Supermarket, not sure if he has weapons."
Franklin Sutton’s voice ca through: "Follow the target closely, block all exits of the supermarket including underground parking, the supermarket is crowded, don’t act yet, wait for my command."
