Cordy could not calm down even as she imagined that outcome."No, she won't," John said confidently nonetheless. "You're more important to Jessica and she knows that."Cordy's heart skipped a beat as she stared at John fixedly. "Look, just trust me on this, but Jessica wants you more than she wants Dicky," John said. "She's never been a parent and wouldn't know how much a child matters—especially since she grew up in a detached family like the Stuarts, where even family connections were weighted in personal gain. Sentiment doesn't exist there, and she'd be convinced that we would just have more children even if we lose Dicky and the pain of losing him would just be temporary. On the other hand, I'd be hurting for the rest of my life if I lost you! That's why she'll use you if she wants revenge, not Dicky."John spoke quickly with considerable urgency, and there was no telling if he was trying to persuade Cordy or himself.Cordy bit her lip and forced herself to stay calm and work

After Cordy sent the photos to Patrick, he asked a few questions, to which she told him everything.Patrick quickly sent the photos without asking more questions.For one, he was not able to help much when he was so far away, but he promised to tell her immediately if he found any helpful clues.In addition, he would rather avoid stressing her unnecessarily since she was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.Once they had the high definition mugshots of the bodyguards, John sent copies to his people and started a search, reminding them to report in if they find those men without alerting them.Just then, a call arrived from Randy as well. "Sir, we found Jessica's car. It's left in a parking lot in the industrial district. The footage we obtained showed that only the driver got out, and no one else was inside. The driver is definitely one among the three mugshots you sent, and he left the car without coming back so far.""Did you manage to track where he went?""No, sir. I

"Good."John put the phone away and turned back to the security footage, and his eyes suddenly narrowed as he exclaimed, "Could he have disguised himself?!""It's possible." Sam agreed.However, if the driver had really put on a disguise, he would be harder to find.Still, John calmed down and said, "Let's analyze what we know for now."The way they were going, they were being half as effective and would never find Jessica and Richard at this rate.As Sam, Bob, and Cordy all turned to John, he said, "Jessica came all the way from Rocktown to North City to kidnap Dicky. She couldn't have been fully prepared since this city isn't her family's turf, and that means the driver slash bodyguard would not have prepared a change of clothes at the market. He wasn't bringing a bag of any sort in the footage, so he had to buy something at the market and got changed."When he was finished, John picked up his phone without pausing a beat and called Randy again. "Question every stall at the ma

The apartment was so quiet everyone could hear their own breathing.At the same time, they heard nothing amid the suffocating silence as they were thoroughly focused.The phone suddenly rang, jolting everyone. The slightest commotion seemed to make everyone nervous now!They watched as John answered the phone, saying calmly, "Randy."Cordy bit her lip—so it was not Jessica.She was now on the verge of falling apart. She would rather Jessica contact them, and she was willing to do everything Jessica asked.She had had enough of this endless searching and waiting. She needed to know that Dicky was fine!"Found him?" John's voice turned quiet as he seeked confirmation.Cordy's heart raced right then, and she turned in anticipation toward John and saw that his hand was shaking even as he held her phone."Yes, we did—that's why I'm reporting in," Randy reported. "We tracked him through security cameras using a photo of his disguised appearance. We calculated that he's now in an

John was ready to storm the storehouse with his men when Cordy caught his hand."John," she murmured, even as he felt how skinny his fingers were.If she could, she really wanted to hold on tightly to that hand and to stop him from facing any danger.But now, she had to let him go and tell him, "You have to keep Dicky safe.""I will." John agreed to it right away, able to read between her lines.He knew that she was telling him that he must keep Richard safe even at the cost of his life, but he agreed to it without hesitation.John had never once accused her of failing to keep Richard safe and allowing Richard to be exposed to such danger although he had entrusted Richard to her.Cordy released John's hand just then, and he gave her an assuring look before quickly heading inside the warehouse with his men.They were afraid of going loud and therefore moved carefully toward the warehouse entrance.John leaned against it when he reached it and gave his bodyguards a pointed look

The man replied stubbornly, "I don't know."Pow!John punched the man squarely in the face right then, turning the already bruised face bloody."I'll ask again. Where did Jessica take my son?! I'll kill you, believe it!" John threatened, his veins bulging viciously right then."In this line of work, you live or you die. Kill me if you want, I'll never betray my employer—Argh!"John punched him viciously in the face again, leaving him with teeth-gritting agony. "Where is she?!" he bellowed, strangling him just then.Being taller than the average man, he had the height advantage even though he was skinny now.He looked down at the other man loftily, his sharp glare bursting with bloodlust. "Where's Jessica?! Tell me!""I'd rather die than talk," the man grunted with much difficulty as John started to strangle him!Breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and the man was starting to suffocate…But he was not giving in at all!"John!" Cordy suddenly called out loudly,

Cordy quietly shook her head and held on tightly to John's hand as she led him out of the dilapidated warehouse.They returned to the car and sat together in silence.When he turned toward her, he saw that her whole body was still shaking, just as she had when she hugged him in the warehouse. He had no idea if she was shaking because his savagery scared her or if she was still worried about Richard."Jessica did this on purpose," he said, attempting to break the deathly silence.Cordy looked up at him and nodded.When she could not find Richard in the warehouse, she knew Jessica had tricked them.Jessica was not stupid, and having followed John around for years, she would more or less know how he operated. Everything Jessica had done today was a purposeful retaliation."Let's check the footage again when we get back, see if we find anything," John added.Cordy nodded quietly.-Eventually, they returned to Cordy's apartment.Sam and Bob hurried to them when they saw them

Cordy quietly ate her bowl of oatmeal without feeling its taste.At the same time, Bob helped John bandage that gruesome swelling on the back of his hand. It hurt Bob to look at it, but he had no words of comfort. He also remembered Richard, and the thought of something terrible happening to a little boy like Richard…No, he could not bear to let himself think that.And it would naturally be worse for his biological parents.Bob simply assured himself that the boy was born lucky and would be free from trouble.After bandaging John, Bob offered, "Want to step out for a smoke?"John shook his head, but Bob tried to reason with him. "Keeping yourself tense like this won't work. Just relax—one cigarette won't cost you that much time."Bob certainly could not bear John hurting himself like this. If there was a clue in the video, someone as outstanding as John would have found it already. It would not take him that long.Right now, Bob was just trying to get John preoccupied or h
