Chapter 248 Rescue and Escape

Tatum couldn’t help but scream, “No, help! Somebody help me!”

“Tatum!” The voice was the sweetest sound she had ever heard.

She managed to raise her head, and saw a somewhat familiar person not far away. “Huh? It’s you? Help! Someone’s trying to kill me!”

Luke immediately said, “What? Where is he?”

Tatum said, “He’s right inside! He’s opening this door to squash me! Help me!”

Luke said, “Don’t be scared! I’m here to help!” Then, he slipped under the half-open garage door.

“Stop, you murderer!” Luke demanded inside.

Tatum was almost crying. “Just take him down already!” Can you really stop a murderer with words?

Luke yelled, “You almost killed her, and you aren’t going to stop?”

Tatum watched the upper edge of the garage door get closer and closer in despair. She had already been lifted off her feet.

“Don’t just shout! Do something!” she roared in desperation.

Luke, however, wasn’t in a hurry at all.

If he used his full strength, he would easily tear off the garage door.

Enlightened, he suddenly took out a white object and said, “Right, check this out!”

Swoos.h.!.+ Bam!

The garage door suddenly stopped moving.

In the next moment, Tatum felt someone grab her legs and support her b.u.t.t. “Relax and raise your arms. I’ll get you out.”

Tatum hurriedly did as she was told.

With Luke’s help, she easily fell back through the dog door.

Luke let go and Tatum landed on the ground. She subconsciously grabbed Luke’s waist.

“It’s alright now.” Hearing the gentle male voice, she raised her head and saw a sunny smiling face.

“Thank you! Thank you!” She couldn’t stop sobbing in grat.i.tude.

She had almost died just now, after the masked man tormented her for so long, and she almost collapsed with despair.

“It’s fine now. Let’s see who this masked man is first,” Luke said as he walked over to the man lying on the ground.

Tatum was too frightened by the masked man to look at him. “No. Let’s call the police. Dewey! Dewey’s in the living room!”

Luke ignored her. He went forward and unmasked the man. “I think he’s your friend, right?”

Stunned, Tatum craned her head and cried, “That’s impossible!”

She didn’t notice that Luke was recording the man’s face with the camera in his hand.

Okay, more evidence! Luke chuckled secretly.

Luke found a rope and tied the man up. While Tatum was still in a daze, he also handcuffed the man.

Then, he gave Tatum a shoulder to lean on as they returned to the first floor.

Before he left, he pressed a b.u.t.ton to close the garage door, in case anyone else saw what was inside.

When they returned, there was still only one boy as well as Dewey and the mature lady in the living room.

Tatum was about to blurt out everything to Dewey, who was a police officer and her brother, but Luke stopped her. “Don’t let everyone know what happened. You don’t want to be under the spotlight, do you?”

Remembering how Sandra had been hounded by the media, Tatum immediately shut up.

Luke said, “Dewey, please come here. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.”

Dewey regretfully said something to the lady before he walked over to Luke.

Luke stepped back and made a “keep quiet” gesture at Dewey in the hallway. Pointing at Tatum, he said, “Don’t alert anyone else. Let’s talk over there.”

Seeing that Tatum was weeping in fear, Dewey grew anxious. “You…”

Luke grabbed him and covered his mouth. “Don’t shout. That woman is a reporter, right? You want her to report everything here?”

Dewey couldn’t say anything else. He thought that Luke had done something to his sister.

But after Luke told him what happened in the garage and his sister confirmed it, Dewey said in shock, “W- ugh…”

Luke pressed against his neck again and whispered, “Calm down, okay?”

Dewey turned red at the way Luke was suffocating him. He could only nod.

Luke said, “Call Polk and get him to bring some men here and make sure none of the reporters notice, especially not the one you brought here. Don’t tell her anything.”

Dewey could only nod. He took out his phone and made the call.

A moment later, Dewey was done. “Polk will be here in ten minutes. We…”

Luke said, “Let’s go check the suspect first. I knocked him out with a baseball and tied him up.”

The three of them went to the garage. Tatum stuck close to Luke, clinging to one of his arms.

Luke could only chuckle, as he sensed how certain enormous parts of her body were pressed up against him.

A moment later, they were looking at the empty garage. The clothes, the mask and the rope were there, and nothing else.

Dewey was speechless. “Where is he?”

Luke frowned. He took a sniff and his expression darkened even more – the man had escaped!

More importantly, how had he escaped? Luke didn’t sense anything wrong!

He had tied the man up tightly and even handcuffed him. Also, he had been in the house just now. Could the man have escaped through the dog door too?

However, the scent in the air indicated otherwise.There was no trace of his scent moving toward the dog door at all. It was almost like he had just vanished into thin air.

Suddenly, Selina shouted from upstairs, “Freeze!”

Stunned for a moment, Luke left Dewey and Tatum behind and ran up the stairs.

Dewey and Tatum just heard a swoosh, and Luke was gone.

Looking at each other in bewilderment, they could only follow Luke.

When Luke got to the second floor, his Sharp Nose picked up the intense smell of blood.

The next moment, he appeared behind Selina, who was aiming her gun at a man by the window.

A half-naked boy on the bed had been stabbed deep in the neck, and his blood was splattered everywhere in the room.
