Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2069

They were so close to escaping unnoticed. Her disappointment at being discovered was indescribable.

“It’s ok, we’ll figure something out,” Joan comforted Nancy gently while stroking her hair.

“Well, we wouldn’t be in this situation if you didn’t announce it to the whole world,” Jaden complained.

“Shut it. If you weren’t playing around with her, she wouldn’t have let down her guard either,” Caiden cut in.

Jaden fell silent as the guilt began creeping up his spine.

“Caiden, we’re going to run out of fuel at some point. Think of something,” Jaden said worriedly.

They would never be able to outlast the fleet of cars behind them. They would eventually run out of fuel and get caught.

“Joan, is there anyone you can call for help? We need some backup,” Caiden pleaded.

“He’s right. Joan, you should call Larry. I’ll call Jory. We can get them to send some help and at least block off the cars,” Nancy voiced anxiously.

“Ok,” Joan answered determinedly.

His phone lay abandoned on the sofa. He had ignored it though it rang multiple times. All his attention was on the screens before him.

“Mr. Norton, your phone’s ringing.” One of his assistants entered the room.

“Who is it?” Larry asked disinterestedly.

“I-it’s your wife.” The assistant paused in confusion.

Joan? Larry stood up in an instant and grabbed the phone in his assistant’s hand.
