Daniel headed to the police station and organized the team for their night operation. At 4:00 am, a large group of police officers raided the production area on the hill in the nearby town. Residents near the hill were woken up by the sound of gunfire in the middle of the night. As the sun rose, the blaring sirens of numerous police cars echoed throughout the area.

Sienna's Facebook feed was flooded with updates. Still half-asleep, she was jolted awake by Jane's phone call. Sienna answered the call in her dazed state.

Sounding excited as if she just downed an energy drink, Jane exclaimed, "Sienna, Sienna, hurry and get online! Check Facebook. Oh my goodness, we've got more big news from our area! Last night was so intense!"

"Our area?" Sienna sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Jane quickly corrected herself. "No, it's the next town over. You know, the one where they've fenced off the hill for film shoots. Gunshots and police sirens kept going off between four and five in the morning. It was intense."

Between four and five in the morning?

Sienna thought of Daniel. Without hesitation, she hung up on Jane and hurriedly dialed Daniel's phone. His phone was switched off. Sienna knew he never turned it on when he was on a mission.

Her heart raced with anxiety. Her drowsiness was all gone. She swiftly unlocked her phone and browsed the internet, searching for updates from people nearby. She worried all morning and repeatedly called Daniel.

By noon, Felix returned home, wearing a satisfied grin. As he poured himself a glass of water, he excitedly announced, "Sienna, Clement got caught. What goes around comes around."

"Clement got caught?" Sienna asked anxiously. "Was it by the anti-drug officers? Is Daniel okay? Is he safe?"

"Your boyfriend is fine. I just saw Captain Morrison and some officers taking Clement into custody outside the hotel where he was staying," Felix replied.

The weight that had burdened

Sienna's heart all morning finally lifted. She sighed with relief. "Once Clement is convicted, it's either the death penalty or life imprisonment, right? You don't need to worry about the debt you owe him anymore." Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

"Yeah, he's getting what he deserves," Felix said eagerly.

Sienna calmly advised, "Take this as a lesson. Never gamble again and stay grounded."

Felix grabbed an apple from the table, sinking into the couch as he took a bite. With his phone in hand, he navigated to a gaming app and remarked indifferently, "You're even more of a nag than Mom." "I'm doing this for your good."

"Got it."

Sienna grabbed her electric scooter

keys, took her bag, and headed out. "I'm off to do some grocery & shopping. And please, try to spend less time on your phone. Hang up the laundry from the washing machine, all right?"

Felix was too absorbed in his game. He barely registered her words as he muttered, "Yeah. Yeah."

Sienna headed downstairs and entered the communal garage on the first floor. She pushed out her electric scooter and rode off. Feeling the spring breeze against her face, her spirits lifted.

She cruised leisurely out of the

narrow alley, intending to turn onto the main road when suddenly, a van parked at the corner swung its door open. Two masked men burst out of it and forcefully yanked Sienna off her scooter.

Sienna was overcome with fear. She didn't even have a chance to scream before one of the men clamped his hand over her mouth. Swiftly, they hoisted her into the van.

The door of the van slammed shut with a resounding thud. The ordeal unfolded within a mere minute, and the van swiftly sped away from the scene.

Sienna's electric scooter lay abandoned on its side by the roadside. Not a single soul was there to witness the scene.
