Chapter 558: Chapter 559

CHAPTER 559 SHAKE OFF THE POLICE

“Mommy, Thomas is missing!” Colton suddenly tugged on Madeline’s blouse, looking rather anxious.

Mackenzie immediately turned the camera on him. “My brother is missing. I’ll show you when he gets

his punishment later.”

“When did you go missing?” Madeline furrowed his brows. All seemed calm during their return, but

something sinister was brewing underneath the surface. Noah had nipped all the potential in the bud,

so the kids were unaware.

“When Daddy ran into the toilet.” Colton panicked. Noah walked quickly ahead while he and Thomas

were furthest in the back. Thomas was gone by the time Colton turned around.

Madeline gave Noah a call, but no one answered. Her heart sank as she realized something bad might

have happened.

Mackenzie realized the gravity of the matter by the look on Madeline’s face. Thomas would not have

wandered off on his own. She turned off the live stream and started to look around.

“Come with me.” Madeline took Colton and Mackenzie by the hand and proceeded to the exit.

Lucas and the others must be waiting for them there.

However, Madeline did not see any familiar faces upon her arrival.

Suddenly, an airport security officer came over to ask Madeline if she needed any help. Mackenzie

wanted to relay that Thomas was missing, but Colton managed to put his hand over her mouth in time.

“We’re good. Thank you.” Madeline warily looked around.

The security personnel were most trusted in usual times. Nevertheless, Madeline still could not believe

the name Noah got from the bodyguards at the Harvey residence. The name would rock the entire

community of Imperia.

“Mommy, I see Thomas’ location,” Raising her phone, Mackenzie blurted.

Madeline took a glance at the phone. It was showing two blinking red dots. One was Mackenzie while

the other was Thomas. Thomas seemed to have left the airport and headed to a nearby mall in mere

minutes.

It was not something a five-year-old could do.

The person first kidnapped Thomas and then stalled Noah somehow. It was apparent Madeline was the

target. The aim was to lure her to the shopping mall.

Madeline knew it was a trap, but she had to make the trip there. Still, she could not possibly bring

Mackenzie and Colton along with her. It was only giving the enemy leverage.

“Madeline!” A familiar voice sounded like music to Madeline’s ears.

Madeline turned around to look. It was Xander.

“Godfather!” Mackenzie jumped into Xander’s arms with joy. Xander affectionately picked her up.

“Thomas is missing, Godfather!”

“What happened?” Xander furrowed his brows and looked at Madeline.

Since Xander brought four of his men along, Madeline’s problem was solved. She handed Colton over

to him and said, “Take care of them for me, will you? It won’t take Mr. Quincy long to pick them up.”

“What happened, Madeline?” Before Xander could get any answers, Madeline had gone off afar.

“Thomas was walking in the back, and then he disappeared. Daddy went to the toilet and hasn’t come

out until now. He’s not answering his phone. Mommy was too worried to leave us, so she couldn’t go in

to look for him.” Mackenzie choked with sobs, but she handled herself well.

“You’re a brave little girl, aren’t you? Stay here with Colt, Mackenzie. These men will protect you. I’ll go

and help your mommy, okay?”

Mackenzie bobbed her head and passed her phone to him before pointing out the red dot. “Thomas is

here.”

Xander took the phone and exchanged a few words with the bodyguards. He then raced in the direction

Madeline took.

“Can you go inside to check on my daddy, mister?” Colton pleaded with one of the bodyguards.

The bodyguard was put in a spot. Nevertheless, there should not be much danger since they were at a

crowded airport. One bodyguard went inside the loo while the remaining three stayed to protect the

children.

Alas, like Noah, the bodyguard never came back out.

Colton made the decision to call the cops. It did not take long for the police to arrive. They led the

children into the loo but only found the bodyguard lying on the ground. There was no one else there,

not even Noah.

“Something must have happened to Daddy. What do we do?” Mackenzie turned to Colton.

“Come with us to the station, children. We will find your parents and contact them to pick you up from

there, okay?” A police officer got down to the kids’ eye level and friendlyly told Mackenzie.

Mackenzie shook her head. She got the message when Colton covered her mouth just now. Many at

the airport were out to get them, and these people could be in disguise.

There was no telling whether the two officers were the good guys or bad guys.

Sharing the same sentiment as Mackenzie, Colton pulled Mackenzie to hide behind the bodyguards.

“It’s okay, Mr. Officer. They will take us home.”

“Can you come with us to the station? We need to take your statements.” The bodyguards could not

refuse since the police officers had a job to do.

They had to abide by Imperia’s law since they were in Imperia.

One of the bodyguards stroked Mackenzie’s head, soothing her that all would be fine.

Still, Mackenzie and Colton exchanged looks, seeing the disapproval in each other’s eyes. They

pretended to follow the group out of the airport and took off when one of the officers brought the car

around.

“Take the next left into the restaurant. Leave through the back door.”

Jacob’s voice was playing through Colton’s earpiece. Clenching tightly to Mackenzie’s hand, Colton

zipped across the crowd and shook off the police and bodyguards with Jacob’s help.

“I’ve connected to Thomas again.” Mackenzie wore the same bracelet as Madeline. She opened the

bracelet, and inside a mini electronic device.

The device showed Thomas’ location, but the red dot appeared further away from the mall. How did

Thomas manage to get far in a short amount of time?

Did Mommy find him?

Colton was aware of Mackenzie and Thomas’ devices. However, the devices required to be activated

manually. The location on Mackenzie’s phone was likely a distraction to fool them.

Xander might not be able to locate Thomas with her phone.

“Come on. Let’s go and find him.” Colton made the call to track Thomas down. Whether it was for

Mommy or Daddy, the priority was to locate Thomas. They could track Thomas down and locate the

rest of their family thereafter.

The pair walked along while contacting their people in Imperia. Colton got in touch with Wayne, and

Mackenzie contacted Albert.
