Maria initially worried about Cameron being held hostage in the garage because she had feared him for many years. However, she had somehow grown accustomed to it.
‘So what if he’s a member of the cabinet? Now one will ever know Rhea is keeping him here.’
Although Maria felt uneasy, she was glad her daughter was still alive. She shut the garage door and pushed it to ensure she had securely locked it before heading to the front yard.
Alexander saw her leaving and shifted his body as he sat inside a car on the street. The man in the driver’s seat looked over his shoulder, asking, “Mr. Russell?”
Alexander narrowed his eyes. “Not yet.”
He had been waiting for over three hours. He saw Rhea and Mike coming and going together before Maria came out to lock the door. Alexander knew they must be hiding something inside the garage.
When it was late at night and the surroundings quieted down, Alexander checked the time and said, “Now!”
Several men moved swiftly and soundlessly toward the garage. They were so agile and silent that no one would have noticed their approach. When they reached the garage door, they tried to open it but were unsuccessful.
Alexander frowned. “Go help them!”
