Chapter 54: Missing
A heavy day passed, and darkness had covered the place when Samson woke up. Fortunately, the place where he lived was a place where no one dared to go, so he was not discovered.
The burned skin areas caused by garlic juice and sunlight had begun to dry out, causing him more pain every time he moved.
Knowing clearly that at this time, the police and the hunter group had not set up a patrol post yet, Samson tried to go home to get some dried blood.
He also forgot his phone while running away, so he couldn’t contact Harvey or Aurora.
Furthermore, he still didn’t know Lucasta’s situation. He was afraid that once Harvey found out, Harvey would vent his anger on her.
With his last remaining strength, Samson struggled to move in the dark. With this appearance, he absolutely should not take a taxi if he did not want to be caught by the police.
After nearly an hour, the poor vampire was able to go to the house that was once his and Lucasta’s residence.
There was no electric light and no sound coming from inside, causing his heart rate to increase with anxiety.
His steps became faster and faster and as soon as he stopped in front of her room door, he reached out his injured hand and pushed hard.
– Lucasta.
The room was empty, the lovely wooden cabinet was opened and a few clothes scattered told him she had left.
However, he still stubbornly searched the whole house and made himself more disappointed.
Right, what is he thinking? Her frightened eyes and trembling appearance showed that she considered him as a monster, so how could she dare to stay?
However, where could she go? Just thinking about the people who wanted to assassinate her were lurking, waiting for the right opportunity, he was so worried that he went crazy.
After quickly drinking two glasses of blood, Samson gathered the bottles of dried blood, clothes, money, and phone into a backpack and quickly left, returning to the abandoned house.
Even though he knew Lucasta wouldn’t pick up the phone, he still tried calling her. From now until four o’clock tomorrow morning, he cannot appear on the street.
Just a few seconds after he pressed the call button, the phone in Lucasta’s hand vibrated slightly.
Seeing his name, her eyes widened in horror, her whole body trembled, and she dropped it on the floor and backed away.
She had a feeling he would come out from there and grab her, biting her neck in revenge.
– No… stop… turn it off… turn it off…
Because in the moment she dropped the phone, her finger accidentally touched the screen, so she could hear Samson calling her name and he could also hear her intermittent pleading.
At first, he thought she picked up the phone to talk to him.
Just as he was about to hang up the phone to let her calm down, a familiar sound rang out, forcing him to continue holding the phone and listening.
According to his memory, this is the sound of the bell of the church located on a side road, where although the population is quite crowded, the pace of life is not as hustle and bustle as in the city center.
Calantha once boasted that she often went to that luxury apartment to calm down on days when she was too stressed at work or when she was emotionally sad, so he guessed so.
In this city, Lucasta can only ask for help from Calantha because Aurora and Bonita are allies with him and Harvey. Lucasta is not stupid enough to not realize this.
Samson had hung up the phone a long time ago, but Lucasta was still trembling. She didn’t even dare to pick up the phone but used a long chopstick to turn it over and sit and look.
It wasn’t until the screen displayed an incoming call from Calantha that she dared to touch it.
– Oh my god, are you okay, Lucasta? I called you a few times but your phone was always busy. Who called you? Calantha’s voice clearly showed concern.
– It’s Samson. Lucasta burst into tears.
– Why are you crying? You should be happy that your brother cares about you. How’s that? He wants to take you home, right? If you want to go home, I will take you home.
– No, I don’t want to go home.
– Okay, it’s up to you, you just stay there until you can’t bear to miss him anymore, then I’ll take you home. You should do that once so he won’t scold you again.
Calantha freely teased her friend because she thought Samson and Lucasta disagreed with each other’s way of life.
Calantha originally planned to go to the apartment and sleep with Lucasta tonight, but she was busy attending a party and came home quite late, so she took the time to chat with her friend a bit before going to the restaurant.
As soon as the call ended, Lucasta immediately put the phone down on the table for fear that Samson would call again.
She dried her tears, pulled the curtain to cover the shimmering electric scene outside, and then went around to check the doors.
All afternoon, she had been looking for instructions online on how to deal with vampires and realized that if the homeowner didn’t invite vampires in, they wouldn’t come in, so she felt more secure.
Remember before, every time Maris wanted to enter Samson’s castle, the female vampire had to ask her to invite her.
Curled up in a soft, warm blanket, Lucasta hugged the cross tightly because this was the only thing that made her believe.
Her mouth kept repeating a song over and over again to distract herself from thinking about Samson.
Because she was used to waking up early to go to work, she still woke up at six o’clock without an alarm clock.
Even though Calantha said she would raise Lucasta and Lucasta knew her friend was rich, she didn’t want to become a mistletoe.
She couldn’t continue working at Star Corporation so she wanted to find another job.
After breakfast, Lucasta quickly left the house, took the elevator down to the ground floor, crossed the street, and went to the grocery store to buy milk.
She has been used to drinking milk since she was a child, so she always feels like her body is lacking something even though she has eaten enough.
– Miss, the flower shop over there is recruiting flower sales staff, right? Lucasta asked the department store owner when she saw the recruitment sign at the flower shop next door.
– That’s right, three of their employees just quit yesterday. If you want to work, come and ask.
Lucasta’s face brightened, she quickly said thank you and quickly walked away.
After a few questions and realizing the blonde girl’s honest personality as well as being attracted to her cute appearance, the flower shop owner immediately agreed to hire her.
But when he saw her returning to the luxury apartment complex opposite, he couldn’t help but be surprised, his mouth opened and his eyes widened.
– Aren’t the people who live there all the upper class? She wants to experience life, right?
At the same time, in the Star Corporation president’s office, Harvey kept looking towards the door.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Yesterday, Lucasta asked him to give her a day off, but in the end, until now, he still hasn’t seen her appear.
Glancing at the clock, it was exactly eight o’clock. He took out his phone to call her. However, there is only a bell sound that lasts until the specified time expires.
Because he wanted to make sure nothing happened to her, he called Samson and the results he got back were hopeless “click, click” sounds.
– What’s wrong, Harvey? Your face looks so bad. Bonita asked worriedly as soon as she put the documents down on the desk.
– I feel so insecure. I cannot contact Samson and Lucasta. I don’t know if they encountered any problems or not. He honestly expressed his feelings clearly.
– I’ll go to their house to see what’s going on. Please give me the address.
After nodding, Harvey read the address to Bonita and she quickly left.
As someone who often takes care of important company procedures, she knows and remembers all the alleys in the city, whether they are big alleys or small alleys.
After more than half an hour, Bonita arrived at the alley that Harvey pointed to, but the scene that met her eyes made her shocked.
Police cars were honking loudly and people were also gathering in large numbers, almost packed even though security officers were trying to advise them to disperse quickly.
– Can I ask what happened there? Bonita asked a woman as soon as she got out of the car.
– I also don’t know. It seems that two people living in that house suddenly disappeared. I heard there were a lot of blood stains in the house. She shrugged and looked scared.
Bonita’s heart was beating like a drum. She tried to get through the crowd to get to the scene but the police stopped her.
At this time, Michael also walked out from there. Seeing the assistant of the head of Star Corporation, he immediately ran to her.
Major events organized by Star Group are guaranteed by the city’s police force. And Bonita is the contact representative, working with Michael, so he has known her since he was a small police officer.
As Lucasta said, she was able to work at Star Corporation thanks to Bonita’s recommendation, so he is planning to go to that corporation as well.
– Hello Captain Michael, what happened in there? She asked before he could open his mouth to say hello.
– Please follow me.
Michael led Bonita back into the house amid the chatter of the crowd.
He took her to the scene and showed her the blood stains from the bedroom to the living room and then down to the kitchen.
– Has Lucasta had any contact with the company? Michael turned to the person next to him and asked.
Bonita was not surprised when Michael knew the blonde girl’s name because she had heard Harvey talk about the police coming to look for Samson and Lucasta after the incident at the Black Roses hotel.
– No. I came here because I couldn’t contact her either.
– What is your relationship with Lucasta?
– I met her by chance and found her adorable, poor, honest, and a bit intelligent, so I brought her into the company to help me. But… who reported this case?
Because Michael couldn’t say that he told Lucasta to try to find out Samson’s identity and then because he didn’t see her contacting him, he came here to see the situation.
So he just replied that he came to get some more testimony to supplement the case file related to the death of two people under the cliff to report to his superiors.
– Captain, we discovered under the bed there was a glass bottle with a little red powder inside.
Michael frowned and took the bottle from Deputy Captain Bevis.
What exactly is this red powder? He had heard about the Institute of Medical Sciences’ dried blood research project, but it was clear that they had not yet found a method to concentrate the blood. Could it be that it was ordinary pigment?
Next to him, Bonita’s face turned pale. She was confused because she didn’t know what had happened and where Samson and Lucasta were now.
