Chapter 851 Last Resort
Chapter 851 Last Resort
'Her arrival can't be so fast.' Tom thought as he glanced at his watched and checked the time. After all, it would take some energy and a little while for Veronica to run away from Nick.
At the same time, just when he was thinking about it, he found that there was red and blue light 100 meters away from the crossroads.
'That's a police car and they're headed this way!' Anxiously, he looked around and searched for a spot to hide on.
The reason why he saw them even from such a long distance is that Tom has a cautious mind, he deliberately chose a favorable position to stand tall and looked at them.
Tom freaked out. He immediately turned around and ran.
"Ah!" However, Tom staggered at his foot carelessly. He rolled down a few times and got up as he hurriedly went downstairs.
Veronica sat on the edge of the bed with a cell phone in her hand. She wondered if Tom would be caught by the police.
'It's unlikely that they would catch him, isn't it? After all, Tom is not the kind of person who'll just stand there motionlessly and won't run.'
Even so, he was as frightened as a street mouse.
It's only a matter of time before he gets caught!
Why was there a police car? Of course, Veronica called the police.
How could she tolerate the insane Tom and the hideous crimes that he did?
Tom killed someone, his wife to say the least. Besides, he wanted to take Veronica away, too. Appalled by his suggestive ideas, Veronica didn't know what to do. So, she did what she thought was right and called the authorities.
The police searched and rummage every nooks and cranny in the suburbs. But in the end, he escaped by hiding in a dustbin.
Tom didn't climb out of the dustbin until the night was quiet.
He left his cell phone at a farmer's house. At this time, he called Saxon Raglan.
When Saxon received the call from Tom, he was not surprised. By this time, the family had already finished Sarah North's funeral.
"I can't get out of here, Saxon. Can I go back to the Z City with you? Right now, you're the only person I can trust! Can I trust you?" Desperate time calls for desperate measure. Tom dreadfully asked.
"Of course."
"Sarah's case was a misunderstanding, and I'd like to explain to Clare's face to face."
"No problem. I'll send someone to pick you up, so don't go anywhere." Saxon replied.
"That's good!" Tom Parker thought about it. He was worried but gave his trust to Saxon. After all, he's the only guy that can help him out of his dire situation. "You won't report me to the police, right? Don't promise me on the surface and secretly call the police to set me up, will you?"
"Don't worry, I will never call the police," Saxon promised.
Saxon is a man of his word. After hanging up the phone, he didn't call the police.
Instead, he sent someone to pick him up.
Tom hid in the house and peeked at the strange man who got out of the car. He couldn't make up his mind whether he wanted to go out or not.
'What if he's an undercover cop?' Paranoid, he can't help but to second-guessed.
After waiting for another ten minutes, he saw a little impatience on the strange man's face before he decided to go out. "Are you the one sent by Saxon Raglan?"
"Boss Parker, Mr. Raglan asked me to pick you up." The man said.
Tom breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure enough, I was right about him. He was loving and righteous, just like his father! I've hidden long enough. Let's go!"
He was about to pull the car door, but it was blocked by a man.
Tom saw the man took out a suitcase about one meter long from the trunk. He threw it on the ground and opened it. Engulfed by curiosity, Tom wondered. "What does this mean?"
"Mr. Raglan said there will certainly be checkpoints along the way. Although we can escape them we need to be fully prepared, just in case. It would be just a grievance to Boss Parker if that happens."
Tom was stupefied for a moment. He then understood what he meant and couldn't believe it. "What? How many hours will you keep me in the suitcase? Am I such a small man?"
"Boss Parker, this is your last resort. Do you want to be arrested by the police? If you want, I have no problem with it." The man replied.
Tom turned pale with anger. Of course, he didn't want to be caught by the police! If they take him in, it'll be over for the rest of his life.
But then, he doesn't want to get into this suitcase either!
However, when comparing between the two choices, Tom chose the latter way.
Surrendering, he opened the suitcase and stepped on it. With his feet on his scalp, he laid down helplessly. He curled up and found that he was almost squished there that turned his face red.
