James Brown held up his phone, expression defeated.
In the end, he had destroyed his relationship with Jocelyn Griffin with his own hands.
He had told Jocelyn all the potential dangers, and she, being so smart, would know what to do if Mason Carter's disappearance truly had something to do with her.
Meanwhile.
Capital City was enveloped in an atmosphere of tension.
Police cars and officers were seen everywhere, every vehicle on the road was being checked, and public areas and private residences were searched methodically.
Oliver Moreland mobilized the city's entire police force, searching high and low throughout Capital City without finding a trace of Mason Carter.
The person who kidnapped Mason was extremely cautious and cunning, leaving behind only the silhouette of a man's back.
Sophia Carter had sought everyone she knew who might have taken Mason, searching every possible location to no avail.
The despair of once losing Clarinet filled her heart once more.
