Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 405

I knew Logan was pulling out all stops.

We kept digging through Catherine's driving logs. Finally, a breakthrough. At a certain intersection, we spotted an anomaly in the travel path.

At this intersection, Catherine's car had taken a different turn than Jaylan's.

Logan slammed his hand on the desk, pointing at the monitor, "Right here! This is where things went south. Do you see it?"

His eyes were bloodshot as he scanned the room before continuing, "Keep an eye on this intersection. Rewind the footage. Look for any car with the same plate as Jaylan's."

After meticulous scrutiny, the staff indeed spotted it. Ahead of Catherine's erroneous route was Jaylan's car. With a snap, the staff froze the frame, and everyone exhaled a sigh of relief.

I stared at the screen, puzzled.

Hannah spoke up with certainty, "Jaylan's car was swapped. A fake plate lured Catherine away!"

Suddenly, it clicked for me.

"No wonder we couldn't track them down. It's not just cunning; they were prepared, indicating they've got enough people for a quick response," Hannah said, her gaze fixed on Logan.

Logan instructed the staff, "Keep tracking the car with Catherine!"

Catherine's car followed the one with Jaylan's plates, heading towards the outskirts.

As dusk turned to night and streetlights flickered on, the pursuit grew tough, and soon the vehicle entered a blind spot and vanished.

Having pinpointed the location, Logan rushed out of the Department of Transportation.

Hannah and I hurried after him, my mind fixated on seeing Catherine first.

Her words left me speechless, my hands clenched in frustration as I fought to control my emotions.

I didn't even dare to imagine what was happening to Catherine right now.

Seeing my distress, Hannah gently patted my shoulder. "Since we've got a lead, we'll find Catherine soon. Don't worry."

Logan, who'd been quiet, finally spoke, "Allie, please make sure she's more cautious from now on. Danger is everywhere, and we can't let our guard down. Her lack of awareness is alarming. Not to mention she's dealing with desperados. Even a regular Joe would snap if tailed for no reason, leading to all sorts of unforeseen troubles."

"I understand," I said solemnly. "We'll be more careful in the future."

But there was something I didn't say out loud. If only she's safe and comes back unharmed, then we'll truly be more mindful. No more reckless moves.

But right now, the priority was to find her.
