Chapter 926 926: You Can’t Risk Her Life
Mary's joke amused Irish, and she felt her spirits rise up.
When they were chatting with each other, her phone was ringing. It was Joseph who told her that they had got some news about Lilith.
They followed Joseph's words and went to Jay immediately.
Irish found everyone had arrived as she walked in. Joseph was standing there with Roy and Cassie while William, Kelly, Shirly, Lenard, and Ruby were all sitting there. Kelly's eyes were filled with tears while William also looked debilitated and paced back and forth in the living room.
Jay began to announce it when everyone arrived.
"Lilith is in Florida right now, and I will bring her back personally," said Jay calmly.
Irish couldn't help trembling as she learned that Lilith was in Florida. She got closer to Joseph subconsciously while Joseph held her in his arms to give her comfort.
Kelly was agitated as she heard the news, and tears kept trickling down her cheeks. "In Florida? Jay, you better explain it clearly."
Jay looked serious and then continued, "I mean, Lilith is hijacked by those drug dealers."
"What?!"
All of them were shocked by Jay's words.
William trembled and stood there in stillness.
Kelly couldn't believe what Jay said, and she also trembled momentarily. Seeing this, Shirley walked forward and took her sister's hands to encourage her. Although Shirley fought with Kelly, they were natural sisters, and Shirley couldn't bear to see her sister be upset. "Don't worry, Kelly. Jay will bring Lilith back."
Jay remained silent and said nothing.
Mary and Joseph were outsiders among them, so Mary remained silent while Joseph kept a reasonable mind. Joseph thought for a while and then asked Jay, "What do you mean you will bring Lilith back personally?"
Irish also felt weird about Jay's words.
Jay furrowed his eyebrows and then said, "I received the call, and I am sure Evil Angel's people hijacked Lilith. They took Lilith for revenge. Indeed, Lilith is a jeton, and their real target is me. They took Lilith to Florida so that I would go there."
As soon as Jay received the call that day, he knew that the Evil Angel must hijack Lilith. But the man didn't say anything but just told him they had kidnapped Lilith.
Irish knew the feeling of being manipulated by others, and she felt even more annoyed with those drug dealers. Jay was a policeman, and it was his duty to arrest those people, but now they threatened him.
Then Jay remembered Carmen, the woman who always got along with drug dealers. Even if she never met Evil Angel before, she must know something about him and his people.
It was hard for Carmen to abandon her drug habit, but finally, she made it through. Now, she was getting less and less addicted, and the rehab office concluded that she was recovering.
During this period, Carmen also kept telling the police information about the drug dealers. Still, she knew nothing about their core information which meant Evil Angel always kept his own counsel.
Jay went to Carmen as he finished his phone call and asked her something about Evil Angel. Carmen didn't know what happened but still told him what she knew. Although she had never met Evil Angel and didn't know what he looked like, she was clear about his conduct.
Evil Angel also took revenge on Cap before, killing all of the policeman's family members. The policeman was driven crazy after he found his family members lying dying in a pool of blood.
Jay also heard about this tragedy, so he was determined to bring them to justice immediately.
However, he was also worried about Lilith's safety.
Carmen was clear about her condition, and now she could only rely on the policemen who could save her life even if she might be put into prison.
Carmen was aware of Jay's frustration and found the man who came with him looked serious. An unknown premonition occurred to Carmen, who stared at the man beside Jay and felt familiar. Thinking for a while, she remembered that he was Lenard, the narcotics squad leader in Florida. Carmen felt something might happen to Jay's family members, so she asked Jay cautiously.
Jay did not reply directly but didn't deny it.
Seeing this, Carmen continued, "Did something happen to Lilith?"
Although Carmen stayed at the house of detention, she also learned that Lilith had run away from her wedding, but she didn't know the details.
"According to your knowledge of him, do you think Lilith is safe now?" asked Jay.
Carmen trembled as she heard the news from Jay. Although Lilith was her rival in love, Carmen didn't hope for anything to happen to her. However, Carmen realized Jay still loved this girl deeply since she also felt his anxiousness.
Heaving a sigh, Carmen then said, "Lilith is safe now. They won't kill her, and they will not do anything disgusting to her. They have clear goals. It's you. I don't know what they will do with you. You arrested their people and ruined their goods, and they will overwhelm you with sorrow."
However, Jay was fearless of what they would do with him. What he worried about was that they would hurt Lilith. When Carmen finished her sentence, she held Jay's hands and added shakily, "I must admit that I am contemptible. I said to Lilith that I would cooperate with the police as long as she leaves you."
Carmen's sentence was like a knife sticking in his heart.
The day after Jay met Carmen, he received a call again, and the man asked him to go to Florida alone.
"I am not going to let you go there alone. It is so dangerous," said Mary.
All the people looked at Mary while Kelly became agitated immediately.
"I know you care about your son, but those drug dealers kidnaped my daughter. It is your son who gets Lilith into this trouble. Why shouldn't he go there alone? Don't be so selfish!" shouted Kelly.
Indeed, Kelly's words were reasonable, while Mary was speechless. Mary didn't mean that, and as a mother, it was natural for her to care about her son's safety.
Jay worried that Kelly would argue with his mother, so he hastily stood up and then said to the people around, "I have decided to go. I ask you here just to announce my decision, and I won't change my mind. Don't worry. I will bring Lilith back."
"Jay, I know you must be worried about Lilith. But you will lose your life if you go there alone. Those people are vicious, and they would do anything to ruin people. You have been a policeman for several years, and you must know this. You have to cooperate with your colleagues," Joseph gave his suggestion.
Before Jay could respond, Kelly yelled hysterically, "No, you can't report to the police. It might irritate those people, and I am afraid Lilith will be killed." Kelly rushed to Jay and held his hands while her tears kept bursting out.
"Jay, I beg you not to report this news to the police. You can't risk her life. I can't live without my daughter," said Kelly.
Jay clenched his hands as he heard this.
Mary kept silent for a while but finally said again, "If Jay can't get any help from his colleagues, it is hard for him to get Lilith back alone. We don't know how many people they have. If something really happens to Jay, can he handle it alone?"
Both of them sounded reasonable, and Jay could understand.
Roy and Irish said nothing since it was a hard choice. If they report it to the police, Lilith might be killed, but if they don't, Jay's life is at risk. Jay was Irish's brother, while Lilith was her sister, so Irish was between two fires.
