The police showed Jared Thorne the search warrant, then rushed in with their team.
Their objective was clear. They went straight upstairs and saw that Georgia Thorne's door had been chained shut.
An officer grabbed the heavy chain and turned back to Jared Thorne. "What's the meaning of this?"
Jared Thorne couldn't manage a smile anymore. He was frowning, his forehead beaded with sweat.
'It's over, it's all over,' he thought. 'This time, it's not just Elliot Sheridan taking action. That mysterious man who took Georgia will definitely not let us off the hook either.'
The police carefully surveyed Georgia Thorne's room and had someone take numerous photos.
When they were done, they added, "Please hand over Georgia Thorne's cell phone."
Jared Thorne didn't dare object. He hurriedly had Hayley Sullivan fetch Georgia Thorne's phone.
After the police left, Jared Thorne thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but then Elliot Sheridan's secretary, Owen Sawyer, arrived.
