Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 442

The leader glanced at the man.

The man stopped talking.

Standing at the side, Hendrix could feel that his leader was getting impatient.He didn’t dare say something.He just turned around and walked out of the door to get some ointment from the owner of the guesthouse.He didn’t mind walking in the rain.

The leader looked out of the window in the pouring rain.

He was becoming more and more irritable.

"Call those people again," the leader barked.

"Ask them where they are now."

Even though the leader gave the man a warning look, he couldn’t understand why the leader was so anxious. Afraid of the leader, the man didn’t even ask him for a reason.

He just nodded and walked to the balcony to make the phone call.It was just the leader and Joey in the living room.

The leader looked at Joey as he sat opposite him.

He drew a cigarette from a pack on the table and put it between his lips.

He then took his lighter from his pant pocket and flicked it to light the cigarette.

Joey still felt dizzy from the pain.

His whole body was tense.He looked at the leader, thinking of the possibility of his escape from this place.

From their conversation, Joey could guess that they were in the village.

How far was this village from the urban area? He wondered if he would be able to escape.

Could he ask the villagers to rescue him? TE Joey pursed his lips, thinking of ways to escape.He didn’t notice that the leader was observing him.

"Ahem… Ahem…"

The room was not properly ventilated.

Smoke from the leader’s cigarette filled the room since its windows and door were closed.

The lack of fresh and cool air made Joey cough seriously.

The coughing stirred up his back pain to the point of discomfort.He raised his hand to cover his nose as he was breathing in cigarette smoke.

"Put your hand down," the leader said tersely and Joey’s hand stopped in midair.

Joey looked at the leader with a frown.

He knew that it was not the right time for him to go against the leader.

After a moment of hesitation, he put his hand down.

This made the leader smile.He seemed pleased with himself.

Joey did his bidding even if he was coughing from taking in cigarette smoke.

"Boss, it’s raining heavily.This place is remote and the cell phone signal is bad," said the man who came in from the balcony.

His clothes were dripping.

"I tried calling them twice but no one answered."

He continued dialing numbers on his phone.

Swoosh! Bang! It was the squealing of tires when a car suddenly stopped.

The tires created skid marks on the rough cement ground.

Almost simultaneously, a gunshot was heard.

The loud sound shocked the people in the room.

The leader and the man exchanged looks of apprehension.

"Boss, I’ll go out to have a look," said the man, walking hurriedly towards the porch.

His one hand was reaching to the back of his waist.

The leader stood up to follow the man and see what was going on.He stopped in his tracks when something flashed through his mind.He turned to look at Joey.He almost forgot about Joey.

The leader didn’t know what was going on outside.

But he always kept careful watch of things around him because of the dangerous things he did all year round.

He had a hunch that the gunshot and grinding brakes were related to the child in front of him.
