Hour Chase

It is obviously a foreseeable potential threat, but Ellie is allowed to continue. It is not surprising that such a time bomb explodes whenever.

Sometimes, overconfidence is the most lethal weapon against yourself.

If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself severely.

Neil's current appearance was the last thing he wanted to see.

After a moment of silence, Karen rested her forehead with one hand, and the tragic memories in her mind began to roll in like a flood again.

"Since you won't help me, I don't want to force you anymore. I only have a few words to tell you. If these words don't make you change your mind, there's nothing I can do."

"Everything I do is out of love for you, please don't forget this no matter what."

"Indeed, I think I'm a selfish person, but I can give up my friends for you, and I can give up my life for you. I just hope you don't die."

"At 11:11 am on November 63th, there will be a car accident in the west suburbs of London. The vehicle license plate LS[-]KLE, blue Porsche... The male driver died at the scene... Do you need me to say more?"

Too many profound memories emerged, and what Karen could recall was far from being able to express them completely in the words just now.

"You should be more familiar with this car than I am. But you are the one who drives it."

"Why did you make up these words..."

"I understand you don't understand what I'm saying. It's about to happen and you don't know how much shadow this car accident will leave on others."

With that said, Karen looked out the window.The glass is already covered with tiny drops of water, and everything outside the window is covered.

The call time has exceeded 10 minutes, and even the phone is starting to get hot.

Karen continued with her last hope.

"I won't make up lies about human life, let alone your life. I will only know these things after I have experienced them. Besides, Ellie also knows these things."

"You two..."

"I am Karen now. But I am no longer the Karen you know."

From that moment on.

Originally confused by the company's affairs, Karen just took what Neil said as her nonsense, didn't think too much, and didn't get angry.

Neal believed that Karen had really changed.Perhaps from the beginning to the end, her purpose of approaching herself was a mystery.

She said what seemed reasonable, what was for herself, and what it was for in the end probably only she herself knew.

"You don't have to try to convince me. Calculation, it's not your job. But, don't expect me to join you."

"In the end, you still don't believe me..."

"It's not that I don't believe it. I believe you won't harm me. It's a pity that I'm not a person who lets me go. I don't need your instructions."

In the end, Neal chose to hang up the phone.As Karen said, her words had no effect on changing her mind.

For such a result, Karen had already expected it.

Knowing that he would not believe it, he insisted on trying, but the result was still so helpless.

Give up, give up Neil's help, everything can only be done by myself.

But that's fine, as long as there are no mistakes, such things can be avoided.

Sure can.

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the warm morning sun, Ellie packed her backpack alone in the room.

I don't know how many days I will go, and it is cold now, so it is always right to bring more clothes.

With this thought in mind, a backpack is filled to the brim.

Just as she finished tidying up, Ellie raised her head and saw David standing silently at the door.It seems that it seems to have been watched for a long time.

"Are you leaving today? Little Ellie."

Although David is not a person who also likes to laugh, but such an affectionate address coming out of his smiling face, this picture is really strange.

Due to the exhaustion of too much energy, Ellie lay on her back on the bed and responded.

"I remember you agreed, David? Besides, the ticket is for today. Of course I went today."

David laughed and touched his forehead.

"Then you have fun. Do you have enough money? I'll give you some more."

Just as she was talking, Ellie quickly got up from the bed,

"No! I can handle it myself..."

Although he was not David's own, but since he was a child, David treated himself like his own.

David is responsible for all living expenses, including the compensation he got for helping the company after graduating from high school.

I opened an account in the bank in my own name, and the assets in it were enough to allow me to live a good life.

Ellie took out her wallet from her coat pocket, pulled out a bank card from the innermost layer, and shook it at David.

"I'll make good use of it, don't worry!"

David still maintained a happy expression and left Ellie's room.

"Ellie was so cute when she was a child... Now that Ellie has grown up, she doesn't even know how to rely on me..."

"What are you talking about!"

As if deliberately speaking to Ellie, David sighed loudly outside the door and returned to his room.

After lunch early, Ellie put on her backpack and was about to leave.

Like every delivery, David would always watch him leave, and always wait at the door when he came back.

But this time it's just a simple trip, and I still have to come back in a few days.

"Do you have friends there? If not, come back after playing for a few days."

Ellie could tell that David was very reluctant to part with himself.

Even though he was only away for a few days, he hoped that he could come back sooner than himself.

It's a pity that Ellie herself has no idea how long she will be able to come back after this trip.I had no choice but to respond vaguely to David, and nodded in agreement.

"Understood, then I'm leaving...I will miss you!"

Walking towards the station, turning around, seeing that David was still staring at her, Ellie unconsciously quickened her pace.

Maybe after a few more glances, I don't want to leave.

Boarded the train to Leicestershire as scheduled, and the timetable showed that it would arrive at [-]:[-].

Perhaps it wasn't because of the holiday, there were only a few people in the carriage.

Ellie put down her backpack and sat by the window, waiting for the train to start.

The 160-kilometer journey did take a lot of time, and during this period, Ellie took a good nap.

In the sound of the flight attendant's radio, Ellie woke up reluctantly.When I opened my eyes, the sky outside the car window glass had long lost the bright colors brought by the sun.

As soon as we got out of the station, a bitter cold wind hit our faces.Seeing the people leaving the station wearing masks and scarves one after another, Ellie put on the jumper hat and walked forward quickly.

Although it might be possible to find it in the urban area, Ellie was completely defeated after asking the third person.

The address of Caroline's ranch is remote. Even if you need to take a taxi, not to mention the cost, there must be no driver willing to take her to such a far place.

However, without this access, taking a car is even less feasible.

There's no direct bus to get there, and taking it just takes more time.

Ellie walked on the street without a clue, and came to the intersection without noticing the vibrating sound of her mobile phone.

More than ten meters away from him, there was a large truck parked on the side of the road, and the double flashing lights at the rear of the car were on.

Seconds later, the light turns green and Ellie trots across the road to the van.

On the left side of the truck, the driver was squatting and trying to remove the left wheel.

Ellie became curious and squatted beside the driver to check.

"Sir, is there something wrong with the left wheel brake of this car?"

The man put the removed tire aside, and Ellie confirmed the problem at a glance.

Hearing the sound, the man stopped his movements and squinted at the little girl who was speaking.

"Hmph, expert, little girl."

The man took out a pack of cigarettes, sat on the ground like this, and smoked.

"Look," Ellie pointed to the disassembled bearing, "it's very rusty here, and probably the inside is also affected."

I usually watch David doing maintenance, and these problems are no strangers.

Ellie estimated in her heart that if she let herself do it, it would take about three hours to complete it.

The man smoked a cigarette and nodded.

"I'm from the south. I drove here and found some problems. I stopped and saw that the left wheel was locked."

"That's really dangerous, and it's in this cold weather again."

"How is it? Can you help me? I think your skills should not be bad."

Ellie looked at the man without speaking.

The man stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and stood up.Typical burly man.

"Forgot to introduce myself. My name is Joey, how about you?"

"Ellie."

"Are you here alone? Where are you going?"

Ellie also stood up at this time, looking up at Joey who was much taller than herself.

"I'm going to find a friend. But..."

"I'll take you there when the car is repaired. How about the deal?"

"make a deal!"

Ellie was also straightforward, and she agreed quickly to this stranger who hadn't chatted a few words.

Anyway, there is no solution to go on, so it is better to help him.

Although it was a collaboration between the two, Ellie was just playing along.After all, Joey is the owner of the car.

There is no special car repair shop nearby, and the tools on the truck can only be roughly handled, and it is impossible to completely repair it.

"Little girl, what do you do for work?"

"We are colleagues."

The two worked together to disassemble the parts, oil them and clean them, so they were inevitably dirty.

Perhaps it is because the two people have the same occupation, even if they divide the labor, they have a tacit understanding.

"You take a break, I'll just put the tires on."

Joey finished his final inspection and got back in the car to try to start the car.

"Come up!"

Hearing Joey's urging, Ellie wiped the sweat from her forehead with her oily right hand, walked to the door on the other side, and jumped up.

"Tell me, where are you going?"

Ellie handed the note in her pocket to Joey, but Joey laughed out loud, which made Ellie baffled.

"What's so funny? Could it be that you can't go to this place?"

"God, we are so destined! I want to go there too!"

As he said that, Joey stepped on the brakes happily, sweeping away the shadow that the truck was still in a dangerous state before.

"Slow down...your car isn't fully repaired, it can't be treated so roughly..."

"Did you go there? Do you know Mary?"

Joey ignored Ellie's suggestion at all, but was curious about her itinerary.

It is a rare pleasure to meet fellow travelers.

Ellie shook her head helplessly, and took the phone out of her pocket.

Five missed calls, all to Caroline.

Ellie thought something was wrong, completely forgot to tell Caroline that she had arrived in Leicester, and immediately called her cell phone.

After only two rings, the other party answered the phone conveniently.

"I'm sorry to call you just now... Really, there's a reason for it..."

"Don't talk about this first, where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"I now…"

Ellie looked out the window, not knowing where she was.

"There is a gentleman who is willing to bring me here, saying that he will come here too."

"Who is he? Have you ever met a liar? I'm really worried. Get out of the car quickly, and I'll come pick you up."

"I helped him fix his car before he was willing to bring me here. It shouldn't be a bad person... Don't worry, I'll be there soon."

Hearing Caroline's exaggerated questioning voice, Ellie hurriedly comforted her a few words and then hung up the phone.

I really didn't dare to say any more. When asked by Caroline, Ellie felt more and more that she was in a stolen car.

However, there seems to be nothing wrong with this car, even if it was abducted...

That's impossible...
