"The officer told me I should go on Friday, which means a day after tomorrow," Derrick said.
"We will go together to the police station," Daisy said emotionally.
"The police is very slow in their investigation, they should have tracked the kidnappers where they are" Derrick reiterated.
"They should have checked the CCTV in the hypermarket to get the identity of the kidnappers. Derrick said.
"They didn't even try to follow them or try to track them where they are since Johnson had his phone," Derrick said.
"So sad what are we going to tell their family," Daisy said
"For now let's keep things the way they are" Derrick reiterated.
