Love Unspoken -
Chapter 1559
The crew rolled up to the courtyard where Calvin was being held. The gate was wide open, and all the guards were sprawled out on the ground, out cold. One of the guards checked them over and reported back, "They're just knocked out, not dead."
Hugo barked, "Pull up the surveillance footage."
He then had the unconscious guards woken up. When they came to and saw the crowd and the open gate, they freaked out and dropped to their knees. Hugo demanded, "What happened? Who busted Calvin out?"
The guards exchanged nervous glances, and one of them stammered, "It was one of Calvin's guys. We wouldn't let him see Calvin, so he started arguing with us. We didn't see it coming and got knocked out."
The surveillance footage confirmed it was indeed one of Calvin's men.
The guy first tried to talk his way in, but when that didn't work, he forced his way through. When the guards tried to stop him, he whipped something out of his coat and took down two guards in a flash. The other three were too slow and got knocked out too.
After watching the footage, the guards were embarrassed.
There were five of them, and they couldn't handle one guy.
While they were out cold, Calvin had changed into one of their uniforms and slipped away unnoticed.
It had already been an hour since Calvin escaped. By now, he could be anywhere.
Hugo, looking pissed, ordered, "Find him immediately. Use any means necessary, just find him!"
The group scattered to search.
The Lynch mansion was in a remote area, and there were no surveillance cameras for a long stretch of road outside, making the search tough.
They could only see which direction Calvin drove off in, but had no clue where he went after that.
Hugo sighed in relief after confirming Calvin's escape, worried he might talk and implicate him. Walter noticed Hugo's subtle actions.
He squinted, realizing that it might not have been Alexander who let Calvin go.
Walter thought to himself, 'When we got here yesterday, there were guards outside the courtyard, but today there were none. Alexander probably couldn't command these people. Things are getting more interesting.' Although Hugo had let Calvin go, he wouldn't let Calvin leave Arcturus alive. He would definitely send people to find and kill Calvin.
The best way was to issue a bounty on Calvin. His other enemies would certainly come after him, making it unsafe for him even if he left Arcturus.
Hugo acted quickly. By the afternoon, he had issued a bounty through various channels.
Although Calvin had escaped, he was now in more danger than when he was with the Lynch family. With the bounty out, more people than just Hugo would be after him.
Alexander returned to the slum where Sean was waiting.
Sean hurriedly asked, "Mr. Kennedy, Calvin..."
Sean clearly already knew.
Alexander plopped down on the couch and casually unbuttoned his collar. "Find him first."
Sean replied, "We have limited manpower. It might be difficult to find him."
Moreover, Alexander's influence wasn't strong here, and his connections were limited. They could find Calvin, but it would be hard to do so before Hugo's people. Alexander frowned, reached into his pocket, and then remembered he had quit smoking. He extended his hand to Sean.
Sean stared at him blankly. "What?"
Alexander's eyelid twitched. "Cigarette."
Sean quickly fished out a cigarette and handed it over, silently grumbling about how Alexander never just said what he wanted. But then he added, "Mr. Kennedy, you should cut back on smoking. You're not fully recovered yet."
Alexander had already lit the cigarette. Leaning back on the couch, he asked thoughtfully, "Where do you think he'd go?"
Sean pondered for a moment. "Probably Municity?"
Calvin had some pull there, and even if people knew he was there, they'd think twice before making a move.
Alexander shot him a look. "If you can figure that out, then there are already people lying in wait on the way to Municity."
Sean quickly asked, "What should we do? Should we head there to find him?"
Alexander seemed to have an idea. He suddenly stubbed out his cigarette and stood up. "Pack up. We're heading back to Amber Bay." Sean was taken aback, "Back to Amber Bay? Now?"
Alexander ignored him and left the room.
He bought a ticket back that afternoon. When he arrived, it was still early, and Quinn hadn't even had dinner yet.
She was in the living room, watching Sprout in his walker, holding a spoon, trying to feed himself.
It was still a struggle for him. Most of the food ended up back in the bowl or on him.
Quinn tried to take the spoon, but he screamed and insisted on doing it himself.
Quinn rubbed her forehead in frustration. She had been watching him eat for half an hour, and he was still only halfway done.
Next to them, Brandy was also holding a bowl, lying on the coffee table, watching Sprout eat and grinning foolishly.
"Mr. Kennedy is back!" Briar exclaimed.
Quinn looked up to see Alexander standing at the door in a sharp black suit, one hand holding a suitcase and the other in his pocket, his eyes fixed on Sprout. Quinn's face lit up. "You're back so soon?"
Alexander shifted his gaze and walked over. "Sprout can feed himself now?"
Quinn replied, "He can, but he can't get the food into his mouth, and he won't let me help."
Alexander smiled and walked over to Sprout, looking down at him.
Sprout didn't seem to notice Alexander was back and kept trying to feed himself. But Brandy noticed. She dropped her spoon, hugged Alexander's leg, and called out sweetly, "Daddy." Alexander looked down at her, then bent down to pick her up. "Has Sprout been good at home?"
Brandy tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"And you?" Alexander asked.
Brandy nodded again and then leaned on his shoulder.
Alexander said with a gentle smile, "Good."
Quinn stood by, watching their interaction, and smiled. She then sat down and wiped Sprout's mouth with a tissue.
Sprout had food all over his face, and if she didn't pay attention, it would get everywhere.
Alexander sat down next to her and asked, "He should be able to walk on his own now, right?"
Quinn glanced at him.
Alexander said, "What's wrong? You don't seem too happy to see me back."
Quinn replied, "Why should I be happy? Your daughter and son are the happiest."
Alexander's eyes filled with amusement. "So you're upset because I didn't ask you before coming back?"
Quinn awkwardly looked away. "I'm not a child. I don't need you to ask."
Alexander teased, "Really? Then why aren't you smiling?"
Quinn said, "I just don't like to smile."
