Marco and his companions finally heard footsteps. Instinctively, they turned their heads-only to see a group of people closing in fast, surrounding them.

"Police! Hands up! Don't move!"

As soon as Marco spotted the officers, the lead policeman shouted the command, immediately drawing his pistol and aiming it at them.

The police had been tipped off by Shiloh's brother, who informed them that the kidnappers were armed. Meanwhile, the detectives pursuing Pedro were also carrying firearms.

Sage's mind went blank. His head felt like it was about to explode.

If she died and he paid for her life with his own, it would all be worth it.
