The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2615

Lucas was about to leave when Claudia grabbed his wrist. "Our phones were confiscated. How am I supposed to know how long two minutes is? We don't need to rest. I'm not that tired. Let's keep going. My dad... He's already chosen to distract the kidnappers. We can't let his sacrifice go to waste."

Claudia spoke through tears, which quickly mingled with the soil, disappearing.

"Okay," Lucas said, pulling Claudia up.

Claudia felt like her legs were filled with lead; it was incredibly hard for her to take each step. Her chest felt like it had a bellows in it, making it painful for her to breathe.

"You need to adjust your breathing. Don't keep your mouth open. The wind will only make it more painful," Lucas advised.

Claudia gradually felt a bit better as she followed the rhythm of Lucas' breathing while he kept listening carefully for any sounds behind them. It could mean trouble for Henry if there was a car honking. At that moment, all Lucas could do was pray.

Finally, the police found where Stan and the others were hiding.

Almost at the moment they pinpointed the location, the entire police force poured out of the station. Cedric and Beatrice also volunteered to go to the front lines. Initially, Jimmy wanted to refuse, but seeing the worried expressions on their faces, he finally nodded.

Thalia tried to stop them but was also determined to go. She was stopped by Claudia's teacher who said, "Silly child, the adults will rescue your sister and father. What do you want to go there for?"

Thalia broke free from her grasp, saying, "I want to go. I don't want to wait here in fear. I want to know how they are doing right now. Please, officer, take me with you. I promise to stay quietly in the car."

She started sobbing. In the end,

Beatrice nodded and said, "She can go with us in the same car. Wet take care of her and make sure she doesn't get out of the car."

The rescue was urgent, and they did not have time to hesitate. After loading everyone into the vehicles and gearing up, they headed towards the small town.

Henry could sense people running around him constantly. 'They're definitely looking for us,' he thought.

"Where did they run off to? How did three people just disappear like that? I woke up as soon as I heard a noise at the gate, so how could they escape so easily?"

Manny scratched his head in

bewilderment. Others shared his confusion. Even if they had slept deeply, they should have heard some commotion. However, they could not replace a trace of the captives after they ran out, which seemed impossible. Did these people vanish into thin air?

Stan did not get into Manny's car; he had stayed behind in the yard.

"What should we do now, Boss? We'll never get the ransom money if they've escaped! It was hard enough to kidnap them. do we really have to plan another job?"

Having tasted success, they were reluctant to let go. While they could have called it quits then, the idea of another job was not appealing to them.

Stan shook his head. "Calm down, and let me think."

Henry was overwhelmed by the stench of the trash can. He covered his nose and mouth, even slowing his breathing. Yet, he could still hear his heartbeat, pounding in his throat as if it wanted to leap out.
