464 We Found Tammy!
Owen kept Tammy in his house in his hometown, a village south of the city. Every day, he asked his relatives to bring food to her.
He told his neighbors and relatives that Tammy was his friend's daughter, who was mentally ill and suffered from severe persecution delusions. His relatives were simple-minded and didn't suspect anything.
When he got home, his neighbor had just delivered lunch to Tammy through the window. She greeted him and said, "You're here to see the girl, right, Owen? | think she is very ill. Every time I see her, she tells me she's been kidnapped. You should get her to a hospital in town.”
Owen smiled as he wiped the sweat from his brow, "Thank you. I'm bringing her back to town right now. Her father had just found her a hospital.”
"That's great!”
Owen took out his keys and opened the door after the woman was gone.
Inside the house, Tammy heard their conversation. She took a rolling pin from the kitchen and hid behind the closed door. As soon as she saw him coming inside the house, she hit Owen hard with the rolling pin.
Owen was taken aback and immediately pleaded, "Stop! I'm here to help you get out!”

At that moment, Tammy realized what it meant to be desperate. She wanted to say so many things, but she couldn't. She just stood still when more people tried to drag her to Owen's house.
Owen, who had just risen from the ground, appeared enraged. But all he could do was touch the wound in his head and say to Tammy softly, "I'll take you back to Birmingham in a minute and send you home.”
Still, Tammy found his tone harsh and evil. She was completely unconvinced because she didn’t believe the people who had kidnapped her here would release her. In the blink of an eye, she kicked him in the crotch before he could react.

"Yes! He's my brother! "Noel exclaimed.

Noel scratched his hair in frustration and smiled as he said, "I had no choice! Don't be mad at me, Mr. Wright. I was just afraid you'd get into a fight with the cops. Otherwise, they'd suspect you.”
