It turned out that all wireless signals had been blocked off in that area.
Once the signal had been blocked, it would be hard or even impossible to trace the person one was looking for.
Perhaps that was the reason why Solomon had chosen to lock Sasha up in this place.
It had not occurred to him that the blocked signals were the handiwork of Sabrina and not of natural causes.
All Sasha could do now was to wait for the speedboat to get out of the area.
Just as they got further away, Sasha noticed that the sky was getting darker.
“Sabrina, is it very late now?”
“What do you mean?” Sabrina turned around impatiently.
However, her expression changed upon looking at Sasha.
“I’m asking about the time. What time is it now? It’s starting to get dark so I assume it’s getting late?” asked Sasha.
As far as she could see, it was getting darker everywhere.
It must be late then.
What’s going to happen to us? Being out at sea in the middle of the night is not an ideal situation.
Sasha was very worried.
Just then, the speedboat stopped moving. She looked up and saw a figure coming toward her.
“Sabrina?”
“A-Are you all right?” asked Sabrina.
“What?” Sasha looked surprised. “I’m fine. What’s wrong? Why did you stop the boat?”
A long time later, Sabrina reached out and touched Sasha’s face. Blood was all over her hand in the next moment.
“You’re injured. You have blood all over your face.”
Sasha was startled.
I’m injured? But I don’t feel anything at all. How can I be injured?
She reached up and touched her face dubiously.
She felt something sticky on her hand.
Maybe it’s a scratch? At the present moment, she did not experience any unbearable pain.
Sasha tore off a piece of her clothes and wiped her face. “I’m all right. It’s just a minor injury. Carry on driving. If you don’t, they’ll catch up to us very soon.”
Sabrina said nothing. She glanced at Sasha’s bloodied eyes and went back to driving the boat.
A few hours later, the signal on the phone came on. They quickly hid behind a reef peak and prepared to make the call.
“Quick, make the call. It’s so dark now. We need to ask your brother to pick us up as soon as possible.”
Sabrina took out her phone and paused for a while.
Dark?
Although the weather isn’t great, and there’s fog all around us, it isn’t getting dark. Sabrina could see everything around her very clearly.
She made the call.
Ring! Ring!
True enough, the call went through immediately and was answered after barely a few rings.
“Hello? Sabrina?”
The two women were excited upon hearing Sebastian’s familiar yet anxious voice, especially for Sasha.
She stood up in the dark.
Finally, I’m hearing his voice.
“Sabrina? Say something. Are you with Sasha? Where are you now? Are you still on Drake Island?”
Not hearing a single sound from Sabrina’s end, Sebastian started to get agitated and shot a barrage of questions.
It sounded like he was aware of this incident.
In fact, he had even made the right guess.
Still, the day when Karl was tailing Solomon in his helicopter, something weird had happened when their plane malfunctioned for no apparent reason. If it wasn’t for Karl’s superb piloting skills, they would have perished that day.
Hence, it had been difficult to pinpoint Solomon’s location for the days to follow. When they first lost track of Solomon, they were thousands of miles away from Drake Island.
It would have taken him a long time if he were to perform a search within that perimeter.
He was considered quick to be able to guess their location in ten days.
“Yes, we are on the run. Apart from that, your wife is crippled and has gone blind.”
“What did you say?”
Not only did Sebastian’s voice go a notch higher, but Sasha was also staring at Sabrina.
Blind?
When did I become blind? What the hell is she talking about?
Sasha stared at her, flabbergasted.
In reality, she had no idea that she was not even looking in the direction of Sabrina. Sabrina doubted that Sasha was aware that she could not see clearly.
“What do you mean? How did she get crippled and blind? Explain now!”
On the other end, Sebastian started yelling like a mad man as he demanded his sister to tell him the details.
Sabrina got annoyed and hung up the call. After that, she sent a video over to him.
Sasha was stumped for a moment.
Suddenly, a gust of sea breeze blew over. She shivered and shouted, “Don’t watch the video!”
