Can I Kill You? (COMPLETED)

Rented

"Right now!?" One of the guards blurted, wiping off the sweat that was dripping on his shirt.

I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, right now. What do you expect? We have like four days left. I don't know about you all, but I don't want to get a false death penalty, for one."

The guards fell silent, glaring at me. One of them rushed back to the jeep, calling on with a plastered smile,

"Where to, next, miss?"

I stroked my chin in deep thought. I had all the items I needed. The next step was to somehow get my phone back. It had all that I needed. I exhaled.

"Get back to the police station."

The guard stared at me, blinking in surprise.

"Back?"

"Yes."

We headed back to the police station. I got out, rushing inside. As expected, the bearded police officer Wick was sitting behind his desk, going through a stack of files.

I sat next to him, tapping my fingers on the table. He jerked up, glancing at me with a strange look on his face.

"You? What ya want?"

"Uh...I need to talk to Taylor...he is the head force--"

He kept the files aside.

"I know, I know who he is. Why ya want to call him?"

I folded my arms.

"He is my acquaintance. I lost my phone. He might be of some help."

His black eyes narrowed into a thick smog. He paused for a good few seconds before pulling out his mobile. He kept it on the table.

I took the mobile, going through his contacts. He had Taylor's number saved, which didn't come as a surprise to me. Taylor was well known in the international circle.

I called, and after four to five rings, he picked up. I tapped on the speaker button.

"Taylor is not available."

I clutched the phone, double-checking the number.

That voice didn't sound anywhere near to Taylor. It was oddly familiar and rough, a voice that made my chest tighten.

Jasper!

Oh no! Jasper is with Taylor!? How? When? I cut the call, glancing at Wick who had his eyebrows raised.

I sat down in a rush of panic.

"Wick! Taylor is in danger! You need to get him...track his mobile number...do anything...!"

Wick, though still skeptical, gave me a small assuring nod. He stood up, calling more men.

"Ya go do your thing. We are going to see what's up with our fella."

I nodded, blinking. He went out of the station, followed by an army of men.

I stomped my foot.

"That bastard! He tricked me! Now he has Taylor's mobile...which means he also has all our chats...oh no...."

I exhaled, my heart drumming. I need to act fast.

One of the guards came inside, handing me a mobile.

"Miss, Wick sent this."

I blinked in surprise. He unfolded my fingers, wrapping them around the mobile.

I opened my mouth to say something, but he left.

Ah....

I opened the mobile, feeding the doctor's number first. I was doing all this for my mom. I need to keep her closer. This was the only way left for now.
