48. The scream

The moment that Peter leaves to follow the car, a scream can be heard from inside the house that Laura and Natalie were going to ring the doorbell of. Seconds later, a woman appears at the open window. Then she comes down and opens the door.

Lady: My child! My child! Where is my child? Why is there a ladder against her window?

Laura: Madam, we are the police. I’m Detective Smith. We stopped here because we saw the ladder. My colleague is chasing the car that was seen leaving. We have to wait.

Lady: It’s not possible. My child!

Laura: Madam, sorry to ask you this. But is it possible she was kidnapped? Does your family have a lot of money or have enemies?

Lady: Enemies, no. But I won’t deny we have money. Also, lots of people are aware of my economic standing because my job is high profile… I’m the president of a tech company.

Laura: Ok, madam. We will do everything possible to find your daughter. Here comes my colleague.
