After ninety minutes had passed, Noah's friend successfully received a notification indicating the current location of Josephine Benson's phone, thanks to satellite mapping and geotagging. The coordinates pointed to an approximate location in Kirkland, approximately a 20-minute drive from our current location in Bellevue.Curiosity piqued, Noah turned to his friend, Tom, and inquired, "Is it possible to obtain the precise address of that place?"Confidently, Tom responded, "Certainly," swiftly maneuvering his fingers on the keyboard to retrieve the information. He reached into his desk drawer, procured a pen and paper, and hastily jotted down the address where Josephine Benson was likely concealing herself along with Noah's children. Handing the piece of paper to Noah , he declared, "Here it is. And if you wish to see the building, you can check it out here."As he rotated his mouse counterclockwise and pressed the left button, the map displayed on the screen seamlessly zoomed in,
How does Noah manage it all? How does he effortlessly stay on top of his numerous thriving ventures without breaking a sweat? how does he find the time to indulge in personal pursuits, such as embarking on a daring rescue mission reminiscent of something out of a James Bond adventure, like the one we currently found ourselves in?"I've always had reservations about the idea of you hiring your girlfriend to work alongside you," Reina remarked, Noah expressed his disapproval as he asked. "Will you be issuing her a formal inquiry mistake?I raised my eyebrows in surprise at his unexpected question but chose to remain silent. It's not in my place to eavesdrop on their conversation, so I have no right to interject or be taken aback by what he's saying. It's a matter that doesn't concern me. However, I wonder if his question held a literal meaning or if it was a subtle understanding shared between him and Reina ."Handle it," he asserts firmly. "And I mean it, Rei. Resolve this issue promp
"I'm seeking an explanation regarding the current situation. Can someone please provide me with some clarity?"With a cheerful tone, Frank addressed the Officer-in-charge, "Pleasure to meet you, sir. We received an invitation to participate in the rescue mission for this woman's children. Is there an issue with our involvement?"Detective Charlie responded with an intense scowl, countering, "Of course, there is! This is a Police operation, and I fail to see the relevance of the military's presence here. Perhaps you and your team should return to your trucks and depart, allowing the Police to handle this operation."Frank's amiable smile quickly faded, replaced by a menacing frown."I implore you not to force me to forcibly ask you and your associates from this premises. You have two options: either compose yourselves and cooperate with us, or maintain silence and observe the professionals, such as myself and my colleagues, as we handle the situation. So, what is your decision?""Plea
To our astonishment, the door abruptly swung open, and the Policemen stormed in without delay, demanding the people inside to raise their hands and kneel down. A sense of chaos filled the room, accompanied by a piercing scream from a woman, followed by the unsettling sound of a gunshot. My heart tightened in my chest, and I anxiously interlocked my fingers, fearing the worst. Has someone been wounded, or was it merely a warning shot? Are my children safe? What is unfolding within those walls?Noah 's phone began to ring, yet he paid no attention to it. Like me, his gaze remained fixed on the house, awaiting the next turn of events.The phone persists in ringing, exacerbating my already frayed nerves."Will you please answer that?" I inquired, my voice tinged with annoyance."Whoever it is can wait until I call them back later," he replied, keeping his gaze fixed on the house. Throughout the day, he has shown unwavering support, standing by my side and displaying genuine concern. It
As my eyes slowly fluttered open, I found myself momentarily disoriented, struggling to recognise my surroundings. But with a swift visual sweep of the room, it became clear that I was inside a hospital. There, sitting on a white plastic chair, was Noah, hunched over by my bedside, likely catching some shut-eye. Curiosity about the time prompted me to raise my hand, only to discover the presence of an IV tube attached to the back of my hand.Noah seemed to sense my movement and lifted his head, meeting my gaze with a warm smile. "Hey, you're awake," he sayid, relief evident in his voice. "You gave me quite a scare back there. Are you okay?"Attempting to sit up, a twinge of discomfort courses through my back, causing me to let out a groan. I resigned myself and settled back onto the bed with a sigh. "Where are we?" I inquired, seeking clarification."We're at Sandralia hospital. You fainted," Noah responded, his tone conveying both concern and reassurance.Hope surged within me as I m
I woke up with an incredible sense of refreshment and an unexpected wave of tranquility. The events of the previous night seemed like a distant blur, with the doctor bombarding me with numerous inquiries to gain a better understanding of my well-being. After receiving oral medication and an IV infusion, I now felt completely rejuvenated.As the sunlight gently seeped through the slits of the window blinds, I realized that morning has arrived, indicating that I slept peacefully throughout the night. While contemplating this, my thoughts drifted to my children. I wonder if Noah and the soldiers were successful in rescuing them. Are they still captive in Joey's fiancé's residence in Kirkland, or have they already been discreetly transported out of Seattle, heading towards Redmond ?Take a deep breath, Cassandra, I silently reassured myself. Everything will be alright.A soft knock on the door disrupted my thoughts, causing my heart to race with anticipation. "Yes?" I called out, filled w
To my surprise, Noah once again offered to drive me and my daughters home. What astonished me even more was that the girls immediately agreed, without even checking with me first. They were bursting with excitement at the idea of showing him around our house once we arrive. Suppressing my objections, I forced a smile to convey my acceptance of his offer.During the drive home, Noah provided me with a comprehensive account of how the twins were rescued from captivity just yesterday. Upon leaving the hospital, he promptly contacted Frank and his team to meet him at the address provided by Jasper to the police. Additionally, he reached out to Grace, who graciously agreed to join him at the location. When they arrived at the house where the twins were being held, they encountered a security checkpoint at the entrance. As per the estate's policy, the gate security insisted on informing Joey's fiancé about their arrival before granting them access. Nevertheless, after persuading the securi
"Good," he responded, flashing a smile my way.As we arrived home, the girls were still asleep. Noah kindly offered to assist me in carrying them inside. One after another , he lifted them up and followed me to their bedroom, gently placing each girl onto her bed. Jasper used to do all this for the girls, he was a sweet father, as well as a sweet husband. Silently, we descend the stairs, and I guided him to the kitchen, inviting him to take a seat at the island."After accomplishing that herculean task, you deserve a substantial breakfast," I teased him, accompanied by a mischievous smile."I won't contest that," he remarked, "That was meant to be my morning exercise routine .However, now that you’ve brought it up, I’ve realized I'm famished.""Perfect. Should we start with coffee or are you more of a tea aficionado?""Coffee.""Alright then. Prepare yourself for a delightful cup of coffee," I responded playfully as I began the process of brewing him a serving of Nescafé."Your house
