Love Unspoken

Nathan rolled up from a side road and linked up with Sean.

Sean hopped out of another car, eyes glued to Alexander's ride.

When the door swung open, Alexander stepped out. Sean craned his neck, trying to peek inside but couldn't see anything.

He awkwardly asked, "Mr. Kennedy, did you nab Alistair?"

Alexander shot him a frosty look, making Sean shrink back.

Even though Sean had ditched the wig, his makeup was still caked on. With his beefy frame squeezed into a tight dress, he looked pretty ridiculous.

Seeing his getup, Alexander pinched the bridge of his nose, clearly frustrated. "Change your clothes before you talk to me," he said coldly.

Sean exchanged a look with Matthew, then scrambled back into the car. He changed in record time and tried to wipe off the makeup with tissues, but it wouldn't budge, so they gave up. Back in his camo uniform, the messy makeup on his face didn't look as out of place.

Sean grinned. "All set, Mr. Kennedy."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Alexander raised his chin, saying, "Take him away first. If he croaks, you're next."

"Got it!" Sean snapped to attention. Then, Alexander got back in his car and started heading out.

In the village, Quinn sat by the window, staring out into the dark night. It was almost dawn, and Alexander still hadn't shown up.

She wasn't sleepy at all, watching the horizon lighten and sighing again.

Suddenly, a light flickered in the distance.

Quinn's eyes widened. She thought she was seeing things, but the light flickered again.

She jumped up, staring hard at the distant road, almost hearing the sound of a car.

But a few minutes later, nothing.

Quinn waited another ten minutes and finally saw a group of people coming closer.

She frowned, unsure if it was Alexander.

Before the group got any closer, the area suddenly lit up, and beams of light shone on them.

Now Quinn could see clearly-it wasn't Alexander, but Landon!

She was so shocked she squatted down, clutching her collar, face pale, not daring to make a sound.

Outside, Landon was lit up by the beams. He instinctively raised his hand to block it and turned to ask the guy next to him, "Didn't you say they all bailed?" "Yeah, we saw him take all his men, not leaving a single one," the guy reported.

Landon frowned, fingers brushing the gun at his waist.

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps, he turned to see a bunch of people rushing out, but they weren't Alexander's men; they were the villagers. Realizing something was off, Landon turned and bolted.

The villagers were hyped and chased after him like crazy. Some had guns, others were swinging benches and brooms.

"Are these people nuts?" Landon muttered.

The armed villagers didn't hesitate to shoot, and two of Landon's guys at the back were immediately taken down.

Landon's men fired back, but they were outnumbered and couldn't handle the heat.

Landon reached his car, popped the trunk, grabbed a box, and chucked it out.

As the box burst open mid-air, money scattered everywhere.

Seeing the cash, the villagers stopped attacking and scrambled to grab as much as they could.

Landon's men were stunned, but he had already slipped past the money-grabbing villagers and was sprinting towards the house where Quinn was.
