Chapter 697
Michael's bodyguards were still unconscious by the time I left the villa.
It was funny how he thought he could actually trap me here.
"Hello, Officer Landon." It would take some time to walk down the mountain, but since Zion was coming up, I stopped him.
"It's late now, and you're alone in the mountains. Don't tell me you're here for a stroll,' he asked with a frown. Iraised my brows and smiled. "I ate too much earlier, so I'm out for some fresh air and to enjoy the mountain view."
Zion eyed me before saying, "Get in the car. There are some investigations that we need your cooperation in." "What do you need me for?" I looked at him curiously.
Zion replied, "Genome Society had created so many clones with identical DNA that it's impossible to identify the culprit in a crime. The higher ups are currently figuring out how to handle this and need you to provide a DNA sample.
He fell silent for a while before continuing, 'Michael has hidden you away pretty well. This is up to you, but all the clone subjects with your DNA are already gone."
Zion was clearly saddened when he spoke about this. He was still affected by the deaths of "Stephany" and Steven
"What about Rachel?" I asked.
I hadn't been hearing from her recently.
"She locked herself up after Stephany and Steven passed away. She's deeply affected by their passing and refuses to see anyone," Zion said while driving down the mountain. He probably should've realized that I had sneaked out.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"I'm sorry, Officer Landon, but I need to borrow your car. And also, I'm not too keen on contributing my DNA for your investigations," I said with a smile as we reached the bottom of the mountain.
Zion was taken aback. But before he could react, I quickly covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief He started losing consciousness.
I had to go find Steven without being seen. His car was clearly the best cover, seeing that he had practically delivered it right to me today.
"By the way, you probably wouldn't believe me if I said I'm Stephanie, right?" I flashed Zion a smile before he lost consciousness.
He struggled for a bit before blacking out.
I swiftly took hold of the steering wheel and deftly switched over to hit the brakes. Once the car stopped, I dragged Zion down and tossed him into the trunk.
"I'm sorry, Officer Landon." I didn't want to put him in the trunk either.
The car was parked outside of Rachel's rented apartment. I dragged Zion out and struggled to drop him in front of her door. I then turned to leave.
Hopefully, she would find him outside when taking out the trash. Otherwise, he would have to spend the night outside.
I drove Zion's car all the way to the asylum. As the car belonged to Zion, Linda-who was monitoring the entrance-did not think twice before letting me through.
I parked the car in the parking space and put on a flat hat before hiding behind the car.
"The laboratory of Genome Society is in the old building, Officer Landon. There's none in the new building." Linda walked out thinking that it was Zion. I grabbed her neck from behind before she could get a good look.
"Where is he? Bring me to him!" I said with a low voice. I took her phone from her hands and tossed it into the flower bushes.
"You, why are you driving Officer Landon's car?' Linda asked nervously, clearly stalling for time.
"Where is he?" There was a hint of murderous intent laced in my voice. "You should know I won't go easy on you. Michael already told me that he's here, or I wouldn't be risking it to come after you."
Linda gritted her teeth angrily. "He's just a spineless trash!"
She cursed him upon hearing that he had already told me about Steven.
"I won't bring you to him. You don't deserve to see him!" Linda said with reddening eyes. "You can just kill me instead!"
She was unafraid to die.
I released her and mocked, 'Do you think you'll have him for yourself like this? Dream on!"
"I won't bring you to him anyway," Linda said with a trembling voice as she clenched her fists.
