The ransom

"Is this really Mazaya's house?" asked a man wearing a black hat with a slight bow, his back to the police guarding the door. The man was Roderick, he didn't realize that there was a policeman, because when he reached the stairs, his gaze immediately fell on the person near the mini park.

"Who is she? I don't know her!" Jonathan tilted his head with a shrug. He didn't want to deal with the stranger any longer, so he decided to walk away from the stranger.

"Hey, wait! I have one more question!" Roderick exclaimed, successfully stopping Jonathan in his tracks.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly!" Jonathan replied with a sigh, he stopped his steps and waited for the man he found strange to approach him.

Roderick walked quickly towards Jonathan, he immediately turned around and did not want to look at the police. Then he looked down, then he asked quietly, "Why are there policemen guarding the two houses?"
