Islet Mystery 39

Jane and Cherry huddled together, moving closer to Mr.& Mrs. Lopez. Their hands and knees were already shaking, competing to the loud thuds of their heartbeats. Their eyes fastened to the man whose muscular physique held a threatening aura despite his age. His threat against Mr. Dioko darted through their senses like a bolt of thunder, leaving them staring silently at him. He may have handsome and powerful features, but he didn't have any resemblance to Ryan. Listening to what he revealed, they cursed inwardly the officer who sullied his reputation over the glitters of silver.

"Son, aren't you going to invite your dad in?" Mr. Te shifted his attention to Ryan, who stood motionless, not far from them.

"Dad, why are you here? You know it's dangerous if someone finds this out." Ryan knew that if he was able to trick this warden out, not all officers could be bought with money.
