Sanfordâs spirits lifted.
âWhat are we waiting for? Letâs get in touch with our contacts at NHTSA to trace this car.
â
He was not very familiar with the area.
Otherwise, he wouldâve just called them directly.
âLet me handle it,â Lyndon interjected before Brian could respond.
His face was icy as he pulled out his phone and made a call.
Brian understood Lyndonâs concern for Tilda and Sheldon and agreed.
He focused on the surveillance video, his dark eyes filled with regret.
He should have accompanied Rosalynn and Sheldon to the bathroom.
He had sensed something off but hadnât acted on it.
His lack of vigilance was partly the reason for their abduction.
If anything happened to Rosalynn, he would never forgive himself.
After a few moments, Lyndon spoke up.
âThey found it.
The car has a fake plate.
Itâs heading up the mountain road toward the cliff.
â
Brianâs eyes hardened as he strode out, with Sanford and Lyndon following close behind.
Barlow had just finished a call with Blair, his former handler, requesting police assistance.
Blair had agreed immediately and was contacting the local police to rescue Rosalynn, Tilda, and Sheldon.
Seeing Brian, Sanford, and Lyndon leave, Barlow moved to follow, but Brian stopped him.
âItâs tough for you to move quickly.
Stay here and protect the others.
â
Barlow frowned, glancing at Karina and Maggie, then nodded.
âUnderstood.
â
Before they left, Sanford reminded Maggie, âStay with Karina.
Donât wander off.
â
Maggie, with tears welling up in her eyes, nodded vigorously.
âBe careful, all of you.
â
Sanford nodded and hurried to follow Brian.
âMr.
Fernandez, can I come with you?â Keanu, who had been waiting anxiously, asked.
Seeing they had a lead on Tilda, he wanted to join them.
Lyndon glanced at Keanu, noting the genuine worry in his eyes.
Without a word, he gave a slight nod and continued forward.
