Chapter 86

Joseph heard a woman’s piercing cries and noticed the crowd starting to panic. The carousel quickly stopped because of the loud commotion. Joseph hurried to the gate to meet Quinlyn and held her securely by his side.

At this point, the woman was wailing loudly, and the staff quickly came over to find out what was wrong.

“Joseph, what’s going on?” Quinlyn asked, still not knowing what had happened.

“Her child is missing,” Joseph explained with a sigh. “In large amusement parks like this, if parents aren’t attentive, their kids can easily get lost.”

Some kids eventually found their way back, but most just disappeared.

Quinlyn, hearing this, looked at the woman on the ground, thought for a moment, and walked over to ask. “What does your child look like?”

A crowd gathered to watch, but everyone was in a rush, focused on their own kids, and unwilling to get involved.

“Yes, ma’am, crying won’t help. Why don’t you provide some clues so we can find your child faster,” a staff member kept urging her, thinking she was too fragile to handle things. “If you keep this up, we’ll have to take you to the police station.”

Two security guards’s patience wore thin and reached out to help the woman up to maintain order. As soon as they moved, a card fell out of her pocket.

Quinlyn bent down to pick it up and turned it over to see the words [Greenhill Psychiatric Hospital, Room 302, Janet Suarez] written on it.

“Wait a minute, she’s a patient,” Joseph said, furrowing his brow as he followed behind and stopped the security guard’s rough actions.

“A mental patient who managed to sneak out?” The guard saw the card and sighed in relief, “I guess the story about losing a kid was just made up.” With that, they decided to contact the hospital to come and get her.

But before they could make the call, a young voice spoke up. “She’s not making it up. She has a kid.” Quinlyn grabbed Janet’s hand to show everyone her fingernails.

Everyone looked and saw stickers on Janet’s nails, with cartoon designs. They were definitely a child’s playthings.

“But she has mental issues, and we can’t help her. We should just let her talk to the police,” the guard said, not wanting to get involved in such trouble.

The bystanders also thought that if Janet couldn’t even control herself, finding a child was like a fairy tale. They gave her sympathetic looks before deciding to leave.

“No, her child could be in danger. We have to find them quickly,” Quinlyn insisted. “Let us see the surveillance footage.”

The guards were reluctant, but Joseph intervened, slipping them a few hundred dollars. It was only then they gave in, leading the way inside. “Look, here’s the carousel camera. There are so many people; you’re on your own.”

The guard thought Quinlyn’s request was a waste of time. With thousands of people in and out during the holidays, even if they found Janet’s trace, her kid would be long gone.

Quinlyn didn’t care about the attitude and sat down at the computer to start watching the surveillance footage.

If the security guard had been there, he’d have noticed she was watching it in reverse at super fast quadruple speed. In less than a minute, she spotted Janet.

Chapter 86

Joseph squinted at the flashing images and only recognized Janet when the screen paused. “She’s definitely holding a little boy, but with the hoodie he’s wearing, it’s hard to identify him”

With a quick look, she saw the video showed three or four boys in the same hoodie, and all the earlier footage conveniently missed the kid’s face.

Joseph suggested, “Why not contact Bennett? Their detective team might have a profiler who can sketch the kid’s features.”

Quinlyn watched the footage of the boy carefully adjusting the hem of Janet’s clothes and shook her head. “That’s too slow,” she said and turned to Janet, speaking calmly. “Your child is in danger. If you don’t want anything to happen to him, tell me what he looks like.”

Janet sat in the chair, dazed by the question, and then suddenly her eyes widened in horror. “My child! Where’s my child?!”

Quinlyn stood up, walked over, grabbed Janet’s shoulders, and locked eyes with her, intense and steady. “Tell me what he looks like,” she urged, word by word.

“Looks like…” Janet seemed touched by Quinlyn’s emotion. She repeated thoughtlessly and actually started recalling. “Quinton has dimples, eyebrows most like mine, and his lips are the prettiest thin almond shape…”

As Janet started telling the story, Quinlyn quickly grabbed the security registration book by her side and began to sketch with a pen. By the time Janet finished recalling, a portrait was completed. “Is this him?” Quinlyn showed her the sketch.

Janet was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly tears welled up in her eyes as she clutched the sketch to her chest. “Oh, my little boy, mommy’s here,” she cried.

Quinlyn swiftly took the drawing back, snapped a photo of it, and uploaded it to the computer. Then, she hacked into the amusement park’s surveillance system to run facial recognition.

Joseph handed the drawing back to the crying Janet. As he looked at the familiar art style, he realized it was in the style of the storybook he had taken Quinlyn to see today.

He had been puzzled when Quinlyn kept flipping through it. Little did he know that just from seeing it once, she could replicate it, even the most difficult side profile sketch.

After the sketch was uploaded and processed by AI, it became a real photo. Quinlyn quickly spotted the boy’s trail near the back exit of the amusement park. “He was taken,” she said.

“Check the license plate on the main street. I’ll call someone to intercept.” Joseph was already used to her hacking into surveillance systems, and he took out his phone without a second thought.

“74785,” Quinlyn reported the plate number within the brief two seconds the call connected.

Joseph didn’t bother with formalities with the person on the other end of the line and said directly, “We’re dealing with a kidnapping case. A child was taken from the amusement park. I’m giving you the location, help us catch them.”

Stanley and Larry got the message and felt a little speechless. But since it was a matter of life and death, they knew what was more important. They changed direction halfway and started rallying people.

After Quinlyn tracked the vehicle, she led Janet out the security office.

Outside the security office, the two guards were still smoking. Seeing them come out, one guard said, “I told you it was a waste of time. Should’ve sent them to the police station earlier, maybe we would have had some hope.”

Quinlyn wasn’t planning to talk to them, but Joseph suddenly grabbed her arm. “No need to go anymore, they’ve already been found. Stanley and the others are bringing them back.”
