The chief was super polite to Xavier and his crew. After understanding the situation, he asked, "Ms. Lamont, sorry about all this mess. No worries though, Nicolas and his pals will get what's coming to them. But this involves your safety, we gotta give your family a ring."
"No, don't!" Norah immediately said.
Xavier looked at Norah in surprise. It would make sense to let her family know about this.
The chief was in a bit of a pickle. If anything happened to Norah, he couldn't bear the blame!
Norah quickly said, "Today was just a fluke, and once Nicolas and his crew are arrested, everything will be fine. Plus, I'm not hurt, so let's just leave it at that. No need to call my family!"
Seeing this, the chief had no choice but to go along with Norah. He turned to Xavier and said, "If anything comes up, I'll contact you. And Mr. Flemmings, if anything happens to Ms. Lamont, please let me know ASAP."
"Got it!" Xavier responded.
After finishing with the paperwork, Xavier's group left with Norah, the chief seeing them off personally. He repeatedly assured them that Nicolas and his crew wouldn't hurt Norah again. From what he was saying, Nicolas and Jack were probably not going to see the light of day again.
The police sent a car to take them back to the barbecue joint. As Xavier was getting into the car, he bent over and was immediately hit by a wave of intense pain. His vision went black and he fell backwards. That slash from Jack was a deep one. Xavier had been holding out for a long time; he was at the end of his rope.
Norah's face went pale, "Mr. Flemmings!"
Damian yelled, "He got a wound on his back, we need to get to a hospital!"
Norah watched as Zachary and Damian scrambled to get Xavier into the car. Her head was buzzing and she quickly got in as well.
