Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 409

My shout drew the eyes of everyone in the room; they all turned to look at me.

But it was Logan who immediately sidled up to me, and with a surge of excitement I blurted out, "Clara!"

After finishing my words, I eagerly tapped open the chat on my phone, and to my delight, I discovered yet another GPS location.

Logan snatched the phone from my hand abruptly. Dalton leaned in too, and they both scrutinized the map, zooming in and out, muttering about the place in question.

After a thorough look, Dalton called over a lanky officer, who peered at the screen and then pointed in a certain direction. "Over there, Lavender Lane, number 35 Kingsley Towers. It's the one up on the slope. Hurry... follow me!"

At his shout, everyone sprang into action, bolting out the door.

I grabbed Hannah's arm and we started running to keep up. But I was too slow, way behind the pack as they vanished from sight. I was left frantic with worry.

The place looked so close, yet after dashing past two alleys with my heart pounding, I found myself gasping for breath, doubled over with my hand pressed to my chest.

Larkin appeared out of nowhere in front of me and Hannah, telling her, “Stay here, take care of her!”

Then he was gone, and Hannah looked at me, concern etched on her face. "Allie, are you okay?"

I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself, and grabbed her hand. “Let’s go... I’m fine!”

"We should just wait here. You're run down. Your wellbeing is the priority!" Hannah insisted, fully aware of my frail state.

Indeed, I had hit my limit today, never before had I been this non-stop on my feet. Still panting, I told Hannah, “Let’s go. I want to see her as soon as possible!”

With a resigned sigh, Hannah squatted down in front of me and said, "Allie, hop on!"

I froze, shocked, taking a couple of steps back.
