Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 442: So You Wish To See Joey

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 saysomething.He just turned around and walked out of the door to get some ointment from the ownerof 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 soanxious. 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 inthe 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 thisplace.

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.Hedidn'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 hisnose 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 whocame 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 whensomething 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 allyear round.

He had a hunch that the gunshot and grinding brakes were related to the child in front of him.So, the most important thing now was to hide this child.

The leader strode forward, carried Joey on his shoulder, and walked to the second floor.

In the yard There were clear tire tracks on the ground.

The black and slick Maybach was parked there.

If someone looked closer.he could replace a small dent on the front of the car, and it was a new dent.The bullet lay beside the tire.

Standing by the door, the man looked through the hole in the door.

He didn't see the person who got out of the Maybach.

The rain was still pouring down, washing the tire tracks on the concrete ground.

It was quiet around.

It was so quiet that it seemed that the gunshot was just their illusion.

The man looked at the car for a long time.

Not hearing anything, he wondered, “Did the person in the car pass out? But why did I just hear agunshot? And Hendrix? Why wasn't he back yet? Didn't he just go to get the ointment?"

The man touched the gun at the back of his waist.

It was cold.

He calmed himself down before pulling the gun from his waist. He didn't care who it was outside! Ifit was a man, he would kill him! If it was a ghost, he would send him to hell.

The man had been a mercenary for so many years.He knew every trick.

These thoughts filled the man as he held the doorknob to open it.

Boom! Lightning flashed across the dark sky followed by deafening thunder.

The man was a little nervous that his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Perhaps it was because the thunder was too loud.He clenched the gun in his hand.

There was another flash of lightning.

The man instinctively closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he felt something cold being pointed at his head.He then heard thesound of something rolling down the steps.

The vision became clearer to the man.He was shocked by what he saw.He saw Hendrix faint andkicked down the stairs.

And the cold thing at his head was Hendrix's gun.

The man's face became taut as his whole body tensed.

He was about to turn around to see the person holding the gun when he heard a voice.

"Don’t move.Or I will kill you.”

"You!"

"Where is Joey?"

The man immediately understood the purpose of the man who was holding a gun.

He smiled and said, "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. Who is Joey? I came here with myfriends.l don’t know the person you are talking about.I'm afraid..."

He stopped talking as he put the gun to Victor's head and pulled the trigger.

But the man failed to shoot Victor, who was quick to dodge.

Victor took back his gun.

The man didn't actually point his gun at Victor.

The bullet from his gun instead hit the potted plant on the edge of the steps.

The potted plant broke into pieces.

The man finally saw who was holding the gun to his head

Then he slowly raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger toward Victor.

"Since you want to see him so much, I will fulfill your wish and let you see him,” said the man.Bullet shot out from the muzzle of the gun, headed straight towards Victor.
