He was heading toward the Canadian border.
Richard went with the police.
The chase unfolded through rain-soaked highways and dark mountain roads.
Thomas abandoned his car near an old railway station.
He ran into the forest.
Officers pursued him.
Richard followed despite orders to stay behind.
Finally, Thomas stopped at the edge of a cliff.
“Richard!”
Richard stared at him.
“Why?”
Thomas laughed bitterly.
“You really don't understand.”
“Then explain.”
“Your father built an empire by destroying people.”
Richard shook his head.
“I didn't know.”
“Exactly.”
Thomas looked almost disappointed.
“You inherited the money without ever asking where it came from.”
Richard stepped forward.
“And Sarah found out.”
“Yes.”
“So you kidnapped her.”
Thomas's expression hardened.
“I didn't.”
Richard froze.
“Eleanor did.”
“Then who helped her?”
Thomas looked behind Richard.
Nobody was there.
He whispered:
“Someone inside your family.”
Then Thomas jumped.
