Quinn had barely taken two steps when she tripped on the bedsheet, her legs buckling as she hit the floor hard. The sheet slipped off, showing her messy state and the nasty cut on her leg. Alexander''s face went pale.


    He yanked her up, flicked the sheet with his toes, wrapped it around her, and bolted out of there.


    Instead of running off the bridge, they found a car in the lot, swiped the keys from the driver, and sped off. Meanwhile, Landon and Alistair were still at the warehouse.


    The door was wide open, and thick smoke poured out, making everyone cough like crazy.


    Landon waved the smoke away, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and squinted to see inside. He couldn''t tell if the fire or the smoke was worse. He frowned, feeling something was off.


    The fire started out of nowhere, and it smelled fishy. He couldn''t picture Alexander sneaking in. If Alexander wanted to set the fire, he would''ve had to get there earlier. No way Alexander knew he was bringing Quinn here, right?


    He was lost in thought when Alistair cursed loudly. He rushed over to Landon and said, "Someone snuck in and took Quinn!"


    Landon''s face darkened, and he sprinted back.


    In the corridor, he saw people lying on the ground and pieced together what had happened.


    They reached the exit quickly, where everyone was hurt. Landon''s face was grim.


    "Damn it, we''ve been yed!" Alistair cursed, his face red with rage.


    Not only were the goods destroyed, but Quinn was also rescued.


    He grabbed a gun from the ground and roared, "I''m gonna kill them!"


    Alistair snatched the gun with one hand and picked up the walkie-talkie with the other, ordering his men to follow. He jumped into a car and made a call.


    On Alexander''s side, they drove into a forest, ditched the car halfway, and started walking.


    "Sean," Alexander suddenly called out.


    Sean paused, looking back. "What''s up?"


    Alexander stopped. "Don''t go any further. Their guys are ahead."


    "What do you mean?" Sean asked, confused.


    "This whole area is their turf. Find a ce to hide and call Matthew," Alexander instructed.


    Sean was stunned. "How do you know?"


    "Call now, there won''t be any signal soon." Alexander didn''t waste time exining. He nced at Quinn in his arms, looked around, and headed southeast. The trees were thick and the terrain was tricky, perfect for hiding.


    Sean quickly followed, pulling out his phone to call Matthew.


    The terrain was soplex they had to pass through a canyon to get in. If they got caught there, they were toast and would have to wait for Matthew to pick them up. Alistair sent most of his men to hunt for Alexander and the others. He also used drones for recon and soon found the car they had ditched.


    Landon showed up, saw the car, and checked out the area.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    He told Alistair, "Have people guard the exit. They haven''t escaped yet. Search this way."


    Alistair looked in the direction he pointed and asked, confused, "Their car''s here, why search over there?"
