Chapter 50: RAMON IS HERE
"Hurry up! Ramon is coming here!" Hailee exclaimed frantically. Her voice sounded more conscious than before. Even so, when she stood up, her head still felt heavy and wobbled a little.
"Ramon is coming there?" came Ian's confused voice from the other end of the line. "How does he know about your location?" he asked, confused.
Ian didn't stop the bike because he was heading to the location where Hailee had told him, so the sound Hailee heard was a little buzzing and noisy.
Ian had to repeat his words several times before Hailee could really get the point.
"I don't know how he found out about this location…" answered Hailee who was thinking again. She then told her friend what actually had happened.
In this small incident, Hailee did not share her location with Ramon, she just wrongly picked up a call which she thought was from Ian.
So it shouldn't have given away her whereabouts. There's no way that man could find her location, right?
Hailee tilted her head in confusion, and the more she thought about it, the more hazy her head became.
Then, with a tired sigh, she sat herself down on a park bench and stared at the twinkling city lights in the distance.
Being in the park felt so lonely as no one else was there but her, but somehow this was the kind of atmosphere Hailee liked.
"He doesn't know your location," Ian concluded. "Stay there and don't wander about again!" ordered Ian in a louder voice, to overcome the roar of the cars and motorbikes that were speeding around him.
"What if he finds me before you can?" Hailee asked a little stubbornly. She didn't want to be found by Ramon. Not in this state and the man seemed to have found out her real identity, well, at least that was what Hailee suspected.
"He won't know," said Ian again. "You're quite far from the bar you visited and I just wasted only very small amount of time to search before you shared your location, so there's no way he, who doesn't know where you are right now, can suddenly appear there."
Hailee pouted and breathed her warm breath into the night air. "Okay ..."she said at last. "Hurry up, I'm waiting here."
"Do not go anywhere." Ian warned the girl again before calling her name all of a sudden, "Hailee?"
"Hm?" she muttered.
"Don't turn off your phone," said Ian. He wanted to make sure that the girl didn't wander around and stay where she was supposed to be, also to make sure she was okay.
"Okay," Hailee replied
After that, there was no sound from the two of them, because they were busy with their own thoughts, but the telephone line was still running.
Ian could hear Hailee's voice humming with boredom, as well as her voice commenting on the clear night sky or the city lights she saw.
Ian also listened to Hailee nonsense chatter and also her grumbling about Ramon smashing the door of her room.
Smashed one of the doors in his own house? Ian thought that was crazy.
It could be just a drunk Hailee babbling or else, the man was really hard to predict.
Because not only Hailee's description of Ramon was totally out of sync with his portrayal in the public media, but also because his character seemed completely at odds with what other people know.
And also things would get more complicated if what Hailee said was true, if Ramon had found out her true identity.
But, how could that man not confront her head on? What was Ramon Tordoff really planning?
"Ian!" shrieked Hailee in a muffled voice.
"What's wrong?!" asked Ian frantically who heard Hailee's voice suddenly choked. "What happened there?!"
Ian had driven his bike at full speed, but it still took him some time to get there.
"Ramon is here!" this time Hailee's voice was like a whisper. It seemed that she was hiding.
"Impossible!" Ian hissed in panic. He saw the distance he had to travel and it indicated that he needed ten more minutes before he could reach his destination.
"Maybe you are wrong!" Hailee hissed back.
"Five minutes! I'll be there in five minutes! " Ian didn't know how Ramon had found Hailee so quickly, but it didn't matter anymore.
Five more minutes.
Five more minutes and he'll be there.
However, it seemed that the five minutes Ian needed would not have any effect on a male figure who had gotten out of his car and could immediately see Hailee crouching down, trying to hide behind a park bench.
Ramon couldn't stop thinking, how could Hailee possibly assume that her location to hide would escape his sight?
This girl is really troublesome!
Ramon then walked quickly, leaving two of his bodyguards behind, not allowing them to come close, to prevent them from overhearing his conversation with Hailee.
"What are you doing there?" asked Ramon in his slightly hoarse voice. He stood right in front of Hailee who was crouching down while whispering into the phone in her hand.
Meanwhile, Hailee lifted her head slowly and found Ramon staring at her with a sharp gaze, as if he was ready to scold her right away.
However, Ramon didn't do anything in those likes. Instead, the man told her to stand up and while Hailee was still pensive, thinking what to say, and Ian was so loud asking her what was wrong over the phone, Ramon helped Hailee up.
And at the same time, Ramon also grabbed Hailee's cellphone very easily, where in Ian's voice could still be heard.
"Ah! Don't!" Hailee exclaimed frantically, trying to reclaim her cellphone, but it only took one hand of Ramon to block all her intentions, while he pressed it to his own ear.
Ramon listened for a moment to Ian's still worried questioning words, before he finally answered. "You don't have to worry about her anymore. Her future husband has come to pick her up, so you can return to the Arena to continue your fight and earn more money to treat your sister. "
After saying this, Ramon disconnected the telephone line and threw away the cellphone after removing all phone numbers from the contacts first, especially his own number.
Ramon knew! Ramon found out about Ian! He even found out that Ian was a fighter in the Arena as well as about his sick sister!
Hailee's mind went awry, she didn't even dare to look at Ramon and bowed her head solemnly.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" asked Ramon with his arms folded across his chest.
"Hm," Hailee muttered while chewing her lips, before a sentence just slipped off. "Why did you throw it away? That cell phone is expensive you know. "
"Of course I know, I bought it."
