Run Away

BY HARLAN COBEN BLOOD INHERITANCE

A YEAR LATER

Anya?

Anya. What did we talk about last night? -Yeah, yeah.

Don't get into that. I don't want any more letters home.

Letters? -What email was that. It's a letter.

Sent electronically.

You would understand that if you read the book and you wouldn't give a damn about TikTak.

Will you say hello to Sam?

Sam! -How is it going at university?

Based on your Uber account hang out mostly in bars.

In video game bars. - Did you see my keys?

Even the cat has a problem. Say hello. - Does Rukkanen miss me?

It doesn't talk about anything else.

My key? - Did you look from above?

10 AM TODAY. YOU DID NOT HEAR FROM ME

TRANSFER MONEY. HE IS THERE.

Paige?

Paige?

Dad here.

Dad here, Paige. What? Paige!

Paige?

Paige, my darling. Paige!

Paige, please. Hello.

Get loose!

Dad here. Come with me.

Come with me and everything will be alright. I promise it.

I'm sorry. - It's okay, honey. I came to help.

You can't. -If you come with me, everything will be fine.

What the hell?

Stay away. I'm serious. Paige, come with me now.

Go on. -Get loose!

You heard it. - Listen, Paige.

Walk away. - Get out of the way. Paige, wait.

Leave him alone, old man.

Paige! -Father.

The father is now dead to him.

Go to hell. Paige!

Go to hell.

Paige!

Get the hell off me.

She is my daughter. Get off me.

Paige.

Paige!

I said I would come.

I haven't had time yet.

I'll come back to that later.

Jessica Kinberg.

Yvonne sent me to the emergency room. -Simon Greene.

So it was the ankle your capricious daughter's boyfriend.

You punched him in the face.

Right. -No.

You are the victim. You acted in complete self-defense.

It just doesn't show for self-defense in this video.

Oh shit. This is out of context. The beginning is not visible.

We believe what we see online.

Now we only see a man in a suit dragging a homeless man into a ditch.

It didn't go that way. - There are a lot of views.

264,249 VIEWS

Oh god. - Bad luck.

Some tube player gave a class in the park and photographed everything.

He uploaded it online and now rants about it to his followers.

Don't look at the comments.

Since you last saw Paige before today?

Half a year ago.

He came home for a couple of days. His brother Sam was dropping out of college.

The girl's behavior was -

unforgivable.

Out of the way, mom! Get the hell out of the way!

what are you doing Paige! -Move!

It broke us all, but we let him go.

You kept looking though.

I tried to get him back.

Let's not leave here.

Damn ridiculous.

They should look for Aaron.

You got off without a charge. I think that's a really good result.

How many viewers?

Oh my god. -Encouraging.

What would ten million feel like?

Ten million? -Two. It's better than ten.

Two million? -That's how they spread.

Creator. -Don't put it on.

Let's go home and an action plan is made.

Two million.

Bruno, pick it up!

Here, Bruno. Come on.

Come on, Bruno.

Bruno?

Bruno! -Come on.

Bruno?

Bruno! - Just go there.

Search here, crumb. Search here.

Bruno? -Bruno!

Here, Bruno! -Bruno!

Hello.

Hello. You don't know me, but I found your dog.

Oh my god. What a relief. Thanks.

You must have been worried. That's totally fine. It didn't work out.

I'm going to return the guy to you.

I can come there.

No, I insisted. I'm leaving anyway, no problem.

If you give me your address, I'll bring the dog home.

WELCOME TO FINCH and LEAF…

OUR OWNER MARIA FINCHLEY

Good boy.

Look. Bruno came!

Bruno!

The girl was delighted! Thank you very much.

It hasn't run away before. We feared the worst.

Dogs are dogs.

Do you own the place? -Yeah.

The place is said to be good for vegans.

Come visit anytime. I offer.

Weld, please. That…

Do you have a free table now? I'm hungry for a wolf.

There is. Sure, sit down.

Hello.

Hello. Is Elena Ravenscroft there? -Yes.

You're a private investigator. -Oh yes.

My name is Sebastian Thorpe and…

I need help finding my son.

How soon can we meet?

BANK FRIENDS FUN

You can't believe this.

This rich guy went to drag a homeless man to the turpa.

INGRID WORK

Straight to the point.

The girl must return in a couple of months.

Thank you, Dr. Greene. -Bye!

Ingrid. Apparently urgent.

Where is the world going?

I'm sorry. -Why did you do that? Now you are hated.

Anya! -What happened?

I found him. I said everything will be fine.

Then Aaron came. -This is not good.

It goes to life. - Don't I know that?

The video doesn't show what happened.

If they knew Aaron, they would incite me further.

The bastard should have been killed.

Why didn't you say you were going?

You would have stopped me.

The doors open.

The doors close.

Welcome back.

We all support you. This is a safe space.

Thank you, Yvonne.

We started a WhatsApp group -

for gifs and memes, if you're ready to laugh about it.

No thanks.

By the way, Marion has a bit of a crush on you. They say you seemed like a tough guy.

Come on.

With a vengeance. Nobody blames you. He has tried you hard.

It was still pointless. Paige is still out there somewhere.

My sister gave a strict order to start with you gently, but…

But? -So. You've had enough time off.

Get back to work. -Yes, ma'am.

The name is Aaron Corval.

Last time with him was seen with partner Paige Greene.

We are looking for him for Aaron knew his slayer.

Did someone you know do this? - Two guys.

He opened the door,

let them in,

and they killed him.

Ugly, violent and sudden.

This is what happens when you live without rules.

Deep.

He always smells good.

As a criminal detective.

What do you like?

I don't want to show up at parents' night from a violent businessman.

That works.

Are you sure about this?

I can go alone if you want.

No. I can't hide.

Let's go.

Who will we meet first? -Miss Rainer's.

What did he teach?

Geography. -Clear.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Greene. Sit down.

Thanks.

Anya has done great.

He gets good grades despite the recent disruption.

Clear. Well, thank you. Glad the girl is doing well.

Thanks. -Yep.

Why then? - Mr. Greene?

Two crime detectives would have a case. Just go to the library.

Who are you? What is it about?

Detective Fagbenle.

Detective Todd. Your neighbor advised us here.

Could you tell me where you were last night? between five and ten?

Why? -What is it about? What happened?

Do you remember your moves? -Do I need my lawyer?

Say it yourself. I'm just trying to find out where you are.

What is it about? - Is that Paige?

It's not about your daughter. - Then from what?

Do you know this man?

Of course. You know that. Half the world knows I know him.

Aaron Corval is our daughter's boyfriend. - When was the last time you saw him?

When I abused him in self-defense.
