Chapter 1171: We Have No Choice
Howard was floored, totally thrown off by the news. "Wait, what? Then who the heck could it be? Are they for real?"
"Not sure yet, but judging by their faces, I don't think they were lying," Evelyn sighed.
Seeing Howard all worried, Evelyn tried to lighten the mood with a smile, "Don't sweat it, I'll keep digging. My dad's gonna be alright."
"Ms. Kyte, you shouldn't push yourself too hard," Howard knew Evelyn was more freaked out than he was, yet she was still trying to calm him down, leaving him speechless.
They left the Calderon family's crib. Not long after hopping into the car, Evelyn got a call from Dermot. They had a quick chat and then hung up. Evelyn leaned against the window, her mind racing about who could've nabbed her dad.
The car pulled up at Blake's temporary pad in Seabrook City. Howard opened the door for Evelyn, "Ms. Kyte, Mr. Kyte and I will be crashing here for now."
"Alright," Evelyn nodded and followed Howard inside.
The place was all set up for Evelyn's arrival. She lay on the bed in her room but couldn't catch a wink, her mind stuck on her missing dad.
She had zero leads, which was driving her nuts.
Her phone buzzed with a text. Evelyn almost ignored it, thinking it was just junk.
But when she picked up her phone to Google something, she saw it wasn't spam.
She opened the message. It was an address and a warning: [If you don't want your dad to get hurt, take him and leave Seabrook City. Never come back.]
Evelyn shot up. She had no clue who sent the message or if it was legit, but with no leads, the address was a lifeline. She couldn't just blow it off.
She bolted out of the room and called for Howard, "Howard, round up everyone and come with me."
She had to play it safe. If this was a setup, going solo was a bad move.
Blake had a decent crew here, so bringing them all should be cool.
"Ms. Kyte, where are we headed?" Howard had everyone gathered but had to ask.
Evelyn didn't keep it from Howard; she trusted him, so she spilled about the text.
But after hearing it, Howard's face got serious. "Ms. Kyte, isn't this kinda risky? What if the message is bogus?"
"Howard, we're out of options. Even if it's a fake, I gotta check it out," Evelyn said.
Howard sighed, "I get it. I'm just worried it might be a trap. With Mr. Kyte in trouble, you can't afford to get caught up in anything."
"Don't worry, that's why I had you gather everyone," Evelyn said with a faint smile. Despite her inner turmoil, she wasn't scared.
Howard frowned and made a couple more calls. "I'll get a few more folks, just to be safe."
Even though Blake's crew was here, with enough cash, you could hire muscle anywhere.
Evelyn didn't mind; the more, the merrier.
