Chapter 30: Worst News

Sarah could feel and hear the turmoil around her, but for a few minutes, she couldn’t react. Only when she heard Edward’s weak voice coming from behind her, that she got back to reality.

“Sarah, we need to go back and let Mr. Reed know about this.”

She turned her head to see the man coming towards her covered with blood and bruises, his hand holding his ribs, with a painful expression on his face.

She rushed to help him, putting his free arm around her shoulder, and gathered strength to lift him up and walk him to the car.

The man clearly couldn’t drive, so she would have to do it herself. But before that, she had to put her thoughts in place. Her whole body was shivering inside, her hands shook aggressively and she could barely keep them on the steering wheel.

She had to call the police, although she assumed that other people probably already had done that. At least she hoped, since they didn’t do anything to help when Ben was taken.
