Chapter 295

Hearing the news, Herman quickly turned his head to check on Keeley.

Naylor was a crack shot, every time he fired, the target was almost always hit. Those he knocked down had little chance of survival. And Keeley… had been shot in the chest.

“How is he?” Naylor asked, struggling to get the words out. “Is there any hope?”

Herman hesitated before replying, “No pulse. He’s gone.”

When Naylor heard that, he took a couple of deep breaths then said, “Call the police. Get an ambulance.”

Herman, still kneeling beside Keeley, didn’t answer.

“Herman?” Naylor suddenly called his name.

Herman turned around, then something suddenly appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing it, Naylor’s face changed slightly. “What is that?”

“It is a mini-camera,” Herman slowly replied. “I found it on him.”

“No way!” Naylor blurted out.

“Why would you say no way?” Herman shot back, his eyes sharp and filled with pain.

Naylor was at a loss for words.

Probably because Herman had this mini camera in his hand that was too obtrusive that he lost his mind and blurted out the words.

His denial was two-fold: firstly, he firmly believed Keeley would never betray him, and secondly, he had checked Keeley’s body when he fell and found nothing out of the ordinary.

But now, where did this mini-camera come from?

“I just think it’s strange…” he panted, “Let me see it.”

But Herman stood up suddenly and looked at him, “You deal with your wounds first. I left my phone in the car. I’ll call the police and
