World’s Mystery - Chapter 104

Unknown number?

“Hello?” I asked as I put my phone on speaker so that max and Cleo can also hear it.

“Hello, Alex,” said a female voice which sent a chill through my spine.

“who is this?” I asked in a firm voice

“oh, you know who I am. but I have to say that I am disappointed in you Alex, you seemed to have given up in the game so fast”

the word “game” seemed to put all the pieces in my mind together

“luna?” I whispered

“correct!” she said cheerfully

“now would you be dear and bring the other two to me?” she said. her voice still dripping with sweetness

“no,” max said before I could

“oh who are you? a friend of Alex perhaps?” she said in her sweet voice

“stay away from this would you, this game is only between me and Alex, dear here!” she exclaimed

“stay out of it or I will have to kill you” the word kill you had an icy tone to it, unlike her previous tone.

max gulped beside me. he was right to be afraid. we were dealing with an unknown factor here.

we knew almost no confirmed facts about while she knew almost everything about

“what do you want?” I asked changing my tone to an icy one too.

“I want you to bring my lovely soon-to-be victims to me,” she said turning back to her fake sweet tone.

“and why would I do that?” I asked. what could she possibly have against me for me to do something like that

“oh you see dear I have a hostage with me!” she said,

“hostage?” I asked aloud.

that couldn’t be possible! jack, Chris, and sam are in the cafe since she wants me to bring the two of them and Cleo is guarded in her house. max is with me. anna is the only one unaccounted for. even though I don’t trust miss jasmine I know that she would keep anna safe.

so who is this hostage?

“yes! hostage!”

“and who would that be? all of my friends are safe”

“I guess you would not consider him as a friend would you?”

“him” was all I said before she answered and the blood drained from my face

“your professor silly!”
