Chapter 335
"Yo, Mr. Tudor, you good?" someone nearby asked quietly.
Alexander shook his head and made his way to the conference room door. He caught Ian saying, "There are a bunch of half-built places nearby. Let's check them out, see if she's been taken to one. Keep your phones on. We can't miss a call if the kidnappers try to reach out."
Alexander muttered, "Unfinished buildings."
Yeah, there were a ton of those around. Word was, people often died there, and kidnappers loved those spots.
He called Nolan, left the police station, and hit the road.
Declan and Rose were useless at the station, so Ian told them to go home and rest. But when they stepped out, they noticed Alexander was gone too.
Rose chuckled, "He was just here saying he'd help us find Elizabeth, and now he's vanished."
"Did you really think he'd help?" Declan scoffed, not taking Alexander seriously at all.
Rose sighed, "But Declan, don't you think sometimes Elizabeth needs a man around?"
"Well, that man sure ain't Alexander!" Declan shot back.
Rose was quiet for a bit, then got in the car with Declan. She said, worried, "It could've been him."
"Don't dwell on it. We just don't have that kind of luck!" Declan sighed deeply and drove home.
"Will our daughter be alright?" Rose was really worried. Ever since she heard the news, her heart had been racing.
Declan then realized he might have been neglecting Rose.
He reached out and held Rose's hand, shaking his head. "Don't worry. She'll be fine."
Rose lowered her head, and tears fell. She was really worried about Elizabeth.
"Don't tell Mom and Dad about this yet," Declan said.
Rose nodded.
The night dragged on.
A black Pagani sped down the road, looking like it had a purpose but no real direction.
In a deserted field, an abandoned warehouse stood empty and creepy.
Alexander's figure broke in, a weak flashlight illuminating the surroundings. "Elizabeth!"
No one responded; only echoes answered him.
Alexander searched the area but couldn't find Elizabeth. He quickly moved on to the next location.
His phone rang; it was Nolan.
Nolan said, "Mr. Tudor, we've checked. Ms. Percy's last known spot was north of Maple Grove Lane. There are three unfinished buildings and an abandoned factory up there."
"Sync this info with the Captain. I'm heading to Maple Grove Lane now," Alexander said calmly.
Nolan responded, "Got it, Mr. Tudor. Be careful."
"Okay." Alexander hung up and sped to Maple Grove Lane.
Alexander opened the map as he headed there, while the cops were also on their way.
The night wind blew, making everyone uneasy.
Alexander called Elizabeth, but the phone kept ringing with no answer, leaving him clueless about her whereabouts.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened. He didn't even realize how tense he was about Elizabeth's disappearance.
Maybe it was just because of the promise he made to Rose. Or maybe it was because Elizabeth was his ex-wife.
Thinking of every look of admiration and hatred Elizabeth had given him, Alexander felt like his heart was being eaten alive.
He prayed that Elizabeth wasn't in trouble.
