Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 367

I met Liam’s gaze and explained, "Something's gone down at the tourist spot. Idris called me a bit ago, told me to grab you and book it out of here. Grandma and Emily are waiting at the performance area. We need to get moving and meet up with them, ASAP."

Liam gave a quick nod. His business savvy gave him an edge, and he could tell today's trouble was no small deal.

After giving Ash a reassuring squeeze, he set him down and turned to me. "You head out with Ash first. I'll stick around and scope out the situation. It'll be quicker to pinpoint the problem than waiting for Iddy to send backup."

I understood he had his own way of handling things. "Just be safe, big bro," I told him.

He hummed a yes and reminded Ash to stick with me.

I took Ash's hand, and we left the cable car station. I meant to head straight out, but then it hit me like a delayed lightning strike that Charlie and Inch were nowhere to be seen.

My mind had been all over the place, worried sick about Liam and Ash, and with the chaos of the tourists making a scene, I had not spared a thought for the other two.

The realization that we had gotten split up snapped me back to reality.

I fished out my phone in a rush, trying to call them, but no luck. Just then, Emily's call came through, her voice frantic over the noise, "Yvette, are Liam and Ash okay?"

"They're both fine. Don't sweat it, Emily," I assured her, my eyes catching sight of two men in black heading my way. I knew these guys as they were the bodyguards Idris had set up for me. I had seen them around, always trailing at a safe distance, never too close.

As they came into view, I quickly asked into the phone, "Emily, are you guys still in the performance area?"

Emily gave a reassuring nod, "Yeah, Grandma and I are in a room. We're safe here."

I let out a relieved breath. "I'll be right there with Ash. Don't go wandering off, and keep your phone on, okay?"
