Chapter 372
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Patrick glanced at her and tried to say something, but the words wouldnât come out. He let out a sarcastic laugh, turned around, and headed upstairs.
Sophia plopped back onto the couch. She was scared and didnât dare think about the consequences!
Suddenly her phone rang.
It was a call from Leah. Sophia picked it up right away. âAny news about the kids?â
âYes! Some friends in the neighborhood spotted them. Iâm on my way there right now!â
âWhat? Really?â Sophia jumped off the couch, âWhere did they take the kids? Send me your location.
Iâll send someone right now!â
âOkay, but I canât wait for you. Iâm going first! Iâm too worried about them! Iâm almost there. I have to be with my children no matter what!â
âDonât talk nonsense! How are you going to save two kids all by yourself? Tell me where it is, and then hide somewhere until help arrives!â
Leahâs anxious voice came through the phone, âI canât wait. I just want to see them safe!â
âDonât be rash!â Sophia urged, âI know youâre worried, but you canât alert them! If they realize weâve found their location, they might do something extreme!â
Hearing that, Leah paused and then asked, âWhat should I do? I⦠I want to see them now to make sure theyâre safe!â
âDonât worry, as soon as we find their location, Iâll get the kids out safely!â
âOkay, Iâll send you the location now.â
Leah sent a text to Sophia.
Sophia was thrilled, clutching her phone as she ran upstairs, âDarling, darling, weâve got a lead on the kids. Get Emmett to go save Aiden and Alex!â
âReally?â Patrick rushed out of the bedroom at the news, âGive me the phone!â
In the presidentâs office at the Melendez Group.
Emmett stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, motionless, not allowing anyone to enter.
Suddenly, the ring of the phone on the desk broke the silence.
Emmett frowned, reached out, and picked up the phone. It was Patrick.
He picked up the call and heard Patrickâs excited voice on the other end, âWeâve got a lead! Weâve got news on the kids!â
âAre you sure?â
âNot sure, but weâve got to check it out! Iâll send you the location; get Matt there as soon as possible!â
âOkayâ
Emmett grabbed the keys on the desk and sprinted out of the office.
On the way, he called Matt and Ricardo, instructing them to surround the location.
What should have been a two-hour journey, Emmett made in forty minutes!
The warehouse was very secluded, with farmland in front. Without precise coordinates, it would have been hard to find.
Emmett had previously deployed helicopters to search that area, but the warehouseâs green roof made it hard to identify from the air, allowing it to evade their search.
Stealthily, Emmett approached the warehouse when he noticed smoke starting to rise from the roof.
It seemed like there really were people inside!
From his observation, there were quite a few people around that warehouse.
They probably knew exactly who Aiden and Alex were and were planning to use the two of them to score some serious ransom money.
