Chapter 130- Face Of Fear
“Are you saying you saw the man that tormented us, the one you talked about?” I asked and he nodded,
“ Are you sure it's him? Maybe you saw someone that looks exactly like him?" I asked but he shook his head,
“ Unfortunately I know him so well because I see him almost every night tormenting my dreams, so I can recognize him anyday, anytime," he said,
If I could remember, if we were actually talking about the same person, the man who gave me nightmares was locked in prison and he's expected to stay there for life or did I get kidnapped twice?
“ Hey Harrison, calm down, he's not going to do anything to you, if you see him anywhere call the police, for all we know he might have escaped from prison, that's if you're sure it's really him," I said as I stretched my hand and touched his, his hand was shaking.
I quickly got up from my chair as I turned around to him and then I bent in front of him as I took his hands.
" Listen to me Harrison, don't allow him to get to you, you have to be strong, you escaped that night for a reason, don't let a man like that make you fear, okay?” I said and he nodded as he took deep breaths,
I patted his head and he smiled before he looked up at me,
“ Thank you Ariana," he said and I smiled before I stood up and walked back to my chair,
“ I'm sorry to ask this Harrison, but it's out of curiosity, you know I need to know who I'm to watch out for, do you by any chance have his picture?” I asked, careful not to upset him,
" I don't but I can draw him, I know what he looks like and can draw him with my eyes closed,” he said,
" Oh, are you sure you want to do that?” I asked, because drawing the face of your kidnapper is like trying to remember the horrible memory you're trying to forget,
I hope I did the right thing asking him to do this,
“ I'll go back to work now Ariana, please be careful,” he said as he stood up,
" Wait, when did you see him?” I asked,
" Today, before coming up here, my friends and I went to the restaurant not too far from here for lunch and I saw him sitting on the table not too far from ours,” he said, and for some reason I felt dread fill my body.
“ You'll be okay Harrison, don't be scared,” I said and he nodded,
" Be careful too Miss Miller, that man is a monster, I don't pray that any of us fall victim of him again,” he said,
" We won't, take care Harrison,” I said and he nodded before walking out of my office.
Nobody told me I was a cast in a mystery movie because there were just too many unsolved mysteries everywhere I turned, it was crazy.

HARDIN'S POV
“ But I fucking told you to give me time Scar, I told you, what do I tell her now?" I said to Scar with a groan,
“ You act like I'm the bad guy here, when I said I was going to rescue that old man didn't I do it? And then when I asked you to do what I want you're trying to outsmart me,” he said, anger could clearly be heard in his voice,
“ I'm not trying to outsmart you Scar but so many things have been going on and I haven't had the opportunity to bring it up to her, you don't know what we have to handle," I said in frustration,
" And you think I'm not busy?” he asked
" It's not like that man, okay, I'm sorry I'm going to fix a meeting with her, but why the hell did you have to appear today?” I asked,
" Because I can do whatever I want,” he said,
Gosh, who asked me to ask him damn man for help?
" What do you even want to talk to her about?” I asked,
“ That's for your boss to find out, if I wanted to tell you I won't be asking for her, so young man fix a date before I change my mind and you know what that means?" he said,
“ I do, I'm going to do as you have asked," I said with a sigh,
“ Good, now go back to what you were doing," he said before the call ended and I felt like smashing my phone on the wall,
I should have known that something like this would happen, I should have known,
I sat back on my chair with a sigh as I ran my fingers through my hair. I knew my boss just left that issue about Scar for now, she was definitely going to come back to it.
Now what do I tell her and how do I even arrange a meeting? This is fucked up right now,
I took my phone and was about to make a call when it started ringing. I thought it was Scar but when I looked at my screen it wasn't, it was the guy I gave the mystery number to check.
“ Hello, did you find anything?" I asked,
“ Are you trying to doubt my work? Maybe you shouldn't have given me the number then," he said and I couldn't help but roll my eyes, I wasn't ready for his attitude right now.
“ What did you find?" I asked,
“ Better, so the message was sent by Ambrose Aaron, although he thought that destroying the sim would stop me but I found my way around. He's the owner of a small jewelry business and that's where all his family work, he's about thirty five years old, he has a wife and two kids, I'll just send you the whole details, don't forget to send my money, I can hack into your device and destroy any important information I find,” he said,
“ I'm not going to run away, just send it and I'll send the money to you," I said before the call ended,
Who's Ambrose and what is his connection with the Miller's?
