Walter hustled over, scooped up the knocked-out Peanut, and headed back outside.
The chief took one look at the kid''s bandaged forehead and bruised-up face and arms, and his face got all serious.
"Get him to the hospital, pronto," the chief ordered.
Getty hiding the kidnapped kid in the house? Dumbest move ever. With the kid and all the evidence found, everyone in the vi got hauled off.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Over at the office, Quinn was flipping through some papers when it hit her that Walter hadn''t shown up for days.
Kyle walked in to give an update on the Kennedy Group''s overseas mess, saying things were going smoothly.
Kyle said, "When those top execs got busted for embezzling, the old-timers who wanted to stick around had a massive blowout. One of them even had a stroke. Plus, their financial and tax dirt got leaked to their partners. It''s just a matter of time before those partners bail. When that happens, the money dries up, and it''s game over."
Quinn nodded. Kyle had handled all of this. The Kennedy Group was already a dumpster fire at home, and the overseas branch was hanging by a thread. Kyle was just speeding up the inevitable without breaking a sweat.
"Walter''s been MIA for days. What''s he up to?" Quinn asked, more worried about him pulling some stunt than actually caring if he showed up.
Kyle replied, "He''s dealing with the divorce from Freya. Peanut went missing yesterday, so he''s probably out looking for him."
Right then, Abigail called. She was practically shouting, "Getty got caught! Holy crap!"
Quinn, a bit taken aback, asked, "What happened?"
Abigail filled her in, cheering so loud that Kyle could hear it even without the speaker on.
After hanging up, Kyle grinned, "That''s awesome. When the overseaspany goes belly up, Getty''s got nothing left."
"What do you mean?" Quinn asked.
Kyle exined, "The Kennedy Group still has a few profitablepanies. Not much, but enough to pay off some debts and keep some cash flowing. So, unless they really screw up, their backers would still give them some cover. But if the Kennedy Group totally tanks and Getty''s caughtmitting a crime, they can go after her personal assets to pay off the debts."
Quinn got it now. "So, Getty''s toast this time?"
"Yep, she kidnapped a kid. No one''s saving her now," Kyle said, barely hiding his glee.
Quinn was stunned. It was moments like these that made her realize just how cutthroat the business world could be.
Kyle added, "It might''ve taken longer, but she brought this on herself."
Quinn had a fleeting doubt. Did Getty really bring this on herself?
As she was mulling it over, Kyle''s phone rang.
"Mrs. Kennedy, the front desk says Mr. William is here," Kyle reported.
"Why''s he here?" Quinn asked, feeling weird since she hadn''t seen him in ages.
"No clue. Should I let him up?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah, go ahead," Quinn replied.
A bitter, the front desk brought Orion to the office. He burst in, all excited, "Quinn! You''re the boss now, that''s awesome!"
But Quinn''s eyes went to the person behind him. "Why are you two together?" she asked.
Orion nced back and said, "Oh, long story. Casey wanted to see you, so I brought her along."
