Emmett wanted to bust in there immediately, but he knew he had to ensure Aiden and Alex were rescued in one shot and couldn't afford any screw-ups.
Plus, he had no clue about the situation inside the warehouse. So, recklessly rushing in was off the table.
Not long after, Matt quietly showed up in the field with a group of people, joining up with Emmett, "Mr. Melendez, are Aiden and Alex in there?"
"They should be, unless something unexpected happened." Emmett was cut off as he spotted a petite figure approaching from not far away.
He thought, “Isn't that… Leah?”
Why the hell was she there?
Emmett jerked his chin toward her, telling Matt, "Go get her over here. Don't let her cause a fuss!"
Matt nodded and quickly brought Leah over.
Leah looked a bit freaked out when she saw Emmett, just as flustered as she was when they first met.
"I'm sorry. Did I screw up again? I'm just so worried about the kids, so I…"
"Did you tell my parents they're here?"
Leah nodded, "Yes, a business partner of mine didn't know the kids are mine! He told me in secret at a party that his friend had kidnapped two kids from the Melendez family, saying it would be a big pay day. I knew it had to be Aiden and Alex, so, I subtly got this address out of him."
Emmett furrowed his brows, "Just stay here and wait. You don't need to stress about rescuing Aiden and Alex."
Leah quickly said, "But I… I'm worried about them…"
Emmett shot Leah a glare that silenced her, "What are you worried about? You think you can charge in there and save them?"
Leah hung her head, "I'm sorry, I can't…"
