Quinn''s eyes went wide as she gawked at the dude in front of her. It was Landon, the guy who''d been MIA for over two years!


    He strolled over to Quinn, and one of hisckeys pulled up a chair for him. He plopped down and gave her the once-over.


    Quinn just stared, her brain totally nk. The only thing she could think was that Landon had this whole kidnapping thing nned out ages ago. "Where am I?" she blurted out.


    "Where? Take a wild guess," Landon smirked, lifting her chin with his finger. "Chill out. Behave, and you won''t get hurt."


    Quinn''s eyes darted around.


    The whole Landon and Walter thing was superplicated. Was Landon sparing her because of Walter? Or was there something else going on?


    Her mind raced with possibilities, and she stammered, "Did you grab me to mess with Alexander?"


    Landon''s face was unreadable as he said, "Bingo."


    "What about Abigail? Where is she?" Quinn asked, her voice shaky.


    Landon let go of her chin, stood up, and walked out, telling someone to take her away without answering.


    Two guys grabbed her and dragged her outside. The heat hit her like a wall, way hotter than back home.


    She was tossed into another wooden shack and locked in.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    They untied her ropes, but aside from the door, there was no way out.


    She slumped onto a stool, her mind a mess. Was it just Landon after Alexander, or were both Landon and Walter in on it?


    The ce was a circle of wooden shacks, with Landon chilling in the middle, messing with his phone.


    After a bit, he nced at Quinn''s shack, then pocketed his phone.


    Meanwhile, after two days and nights of checking surveince, Sean and the crew finally tracked down the guys tailing Quinn. These dudes were slick, switching cars a bunch of times, which is why it took forever to ID the right one.


    Once they nailed the car, finding the bad guys was a piece of cake.


    Turned out, these kidnappers had rap sheets and had done time, but they were out of the country now.


    Sean reported, "They took Mrs. Kennedy out of the country. Tracking them might be a bit tricky." Alexander leaned back on the sofa, staring at a spot. "Not tricky. They''ll slip up."


    Sean was puzzled. "You know who it is?"


    "Is it that hard to guess?" Alexander sneered.


    Sean scratched his head, feeling dumb. This ce was a mess, and people went missing all the time.


    Alexander pinched the bridge of his nose and ordered, "Go find them."


    Sean nodded and left.


    After he was gone, Alexander called Walter.


    The call connected quickly, and Walter''s voice came through. "Well, well, why are you calling me? Miss me?"


    "Walter, you''ve done something nice again," Alexander said sarcastically.


    "I''ve done lots of good deeds. Which one?" Walter asked, ying innocent.


    Alexander hung up without another word.


    Walter stared at the phone, his eyes narrowing. It wasn''t hard to guess; Alexander wouldn''t call unless it was about Quinn. He then dialed Landon''s number.


    When the call connected, Walter spoke first, "What the hell is this about?"


    They''d been in touch for the past two years and were even partners. He hadn''t expected Landon to suddenly blow up their deal.


    "What do I mean? The timing''s perfect. Haven''t you always wanted to take him out? I''m doing you a solid. Aren''t you happy?" Landon said casually.
