Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1933
“You’re right, Caspian. They’re still onto us,” the middle-aged man said.
Caspian quickly pulled out his phone and made a call. “Hey, pull over and stop the vehicle behind us! Make it fast!”
A third car then abruptly put itself between the two vehicles. From it, a couple of men alighted and went straight for that vehicle on their tail.
Ring, ring, ring…
Caspian glanced at the display and picked up promptly.
“Pull out and return immediately. You must ensure his safety!” Larry said.
“Understood!” Caspian ended the call and instructed, “Back the way we came.”
“Aren’t we headed there?” Lonnie asked.
“Larry wants to prioritize your safety,” Caspian replied as he monitored the rear in vigilance.
Unbeknownst to them, they were being followed by more than just the one car.
“Mr. Norton’s a good man,” Lonnie said with relief.
“I wouldn’t have served him for so many years if he wasn’t,” Caspian mumbled under his breath. Then he asked, “Are we in the clear yet?”
“So far, so good,” replied the middle-aged man at the wheel.
Caspian was especially meticulous in this aspect. He avoided sending Lonnie directly to the clinic, choosing to continue circling the roundabout.
“That should be enough, Caspian,” the driver said.
Caspian remained unsure as he checked the rear to his left and right.
“No. Tell you what. Swap your clothes, the both of you,” he said as he nudged Lonnie and regarded the man in the front.
“Thank you, Caspian,” said Lonnie, deeply moved.
“No need for that. You can thank me by staying alive.”
“What’s the situation?” Larry asked, concerned.
“We’re safe and on the way back,” came Caspian’s quick reply.
Larry let out a sigh of relief before he looked out of the window, but little did he know that some visitors had amassed all around the clinic in the village.
