Before long, we met up with Victor's people.
With the alley packed with the rescue team and Victor's people, the tension in the air was palpable. I bet the kidnappers must have sensed something by now.
At that moment, I finally saw Lynn. The moment she laid eyes on me, she slapped me across the face.
Victor was about to charge at me in anger, but I quickly waved him off. After all, Lynn had every right to be angry with me.
Lynn snapped, "William White! If anything happens to Riley, I swear I'll risk my life to kill you!"
I had no response, so I just sighed. After yelling at me, Lynn checked with the police for updates.
I called Victor over and asked, "Where's Mark? Do you have any leads?"
"Yeah. It wasn't hard to track him down since plenty of witnesses saw him carrying the child. I've already sent people to look into it. We'll find him very soon," Victor said.
Honestly, I was more worried about Riley than Lynn was. I said, "Alright. The sooner, the better."
About ten minutes later, Victor's phone rang. With that, I immediately looked over at him.
He pulled out his phone and answered the call. A moment later, his eyes lit up. He excitedly turned to me and said, "We found Riley, and she's safe."
I let out a sigh of relief. "Where is she? Hurry up and take me there!"
After I called Lynn into the car, Victor immediately took us to our destination.
Lynn didn't say a single word the whole way. From the look on her face, I could tell that she didn't believe me.
After all, she didn't know my true identity. I couldn't blame her for doubting me.
