บท 123: Chapter 123

“Here,” he said, giving the other guy the water bottle. “Not much left, but I’m sure you’ll get more soon.” Besides, if the guy was dehydrated he shouldn’t be gulping down a whole bottle at once anyway, as much as he might want to. Vomiting wasn’t going to help anything.

“What is his name?” asked the 911 dispatcher.

“Nine-one-one wants to know your name.”

The other guy finished the water before answering, “David Beecham. And we were kidnapped by Roger McLaughlin. He’ll be here any time.” David looked frightened just mentioning their kidnapper’s name.

Jake wondered how exactly David knew this but speaking seemed like a lot of effort for the guy so he relayed the information to their dispatcher and reminded himself his questions could wait. Besides, he heard noise coming from down the hall which couldn’t mean anything good.
