Chapter 888:
Just then, Brody called. “Yelena, we’ve found something! After a thorough search, we’ve managed to track down Tessa’s movements p>
The truth gradually came to light. After being terrified by Lowe’s aggressive behavior, Tessa had fled from the bar, desperate to get away from his relentless pestering.
However, Lowe, heavily intoxicated, had chased after her, grabbing her arm and insisting that he give her a ride.
Naturally, Tessa resisted. She didn’t trust Lowe. Who knew where he might take her?
Lowe had attempted to keep up the chase, but his intoxication got the better of him. He tripped and went sprawling to the ground. By the time he managed to get back on his feet, Tessa had vanished. Lowe, refusing to give up, searched frantically for Tessa in every direction, but she was nowhere to be found.
He assumed she had run away and later made it home safely, all the while feeling saddened by her rejection.
Unbeknownst to Lowe, however, someone nearby had been watching. Seizing the opportunity when he stumbled, they swiftly moved in—one of them covering Tessa’s mouth, silencing her, while the others quickly worked together to take her away.
These details came to light through surveillance footage Brody had worked tirelessly to obtain.
Based on Brody’s intel, Yelena and Austin discovered that Tessa was now being held in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.
They wasted no time heading there.
As they neared the warehouse, they spotted several armed men stationed outside, their expressions cold and alert. It was clear they were working with the kidnappers.
Charging in blindly would be suicidal. Yelena and Austin knew that a reckless move wouldn’t just jeopardize their own lives but could also put Tessa in grave danger.
They quickly devised a plan to split up, create a distraction, and seize the opportunity to rescue Tessa.
Yelena turned to Austin, saying, “Take your men and create a distraction. I’ll slip inside and get Tessa p>
Austin frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the plan.
He grabbed her wrist. “No way. I’m not letting you go in alone. We’re doing this together p>
Yelena didn’t have time to argue. Since Austin insisted, she relented. “Fine, let’s go p>
With practiced agility, Yelena circled to the back of the warehouse, scanning for an entry point.
Austin followed, his sharp eyes sweeping their surroundings.
Finally, Yelena spotted a small, half-open window. It was a bit narrow but wide enough for them to squeeze through.
However, there were guards stationed directly beneath it. Dropping down without a plan would instantly give them away.
Yelena glanced at Austin, a silent message passing between them.
Austin instantly grasped Yelena’s intent.
Right on cue, his men stirred up a distraction outside the warehouse. A deliberate, exaggerated cough broke the silence, drawing the guards’ attention.
The guards stiffened, instantly turning toward the source of the noise. Austin’s men hid behind an abandoned container, staying out of sight. After finding nothing, the guards dismissed it as just an animal and returned to their posts.
