Before Angelo could even voice his concerns, the heavy thud of footsteps echoed from outside the door.
Sophie spun around to see Colby striding in from the Burke Estate, covered in dust and looking pretty rough. She rushed over, anxiety written all over her face, “What happened?”
“It’s nothing,” Colby brushed off, shaking his head.
Adler, not buying it, chimed in, “You look like you've been through a war zone, and you’ve been MIA all night. Where the heck were you?”
“…”
Colby glanced at Rick, who had just come down from the second floor, and finally said, “I got ambushed on my way back from the office.”
Adler’s eyes widened, “How many did they send to hold you up? I need to know how big a deal this is!”
It was the first time Adler had seen Colby delayed for so long without even a check-in.
Colby, still looking towards Rick upstairs, replied, “Four vans. About a hundred and eighty people.”
Adler sucked in a breath, “They must really want you out of the picture! Only you could fight your way out of such a crowd; I'm seriously impressed.”
Colby stayed silent.
But Sophie frowned, “They just came after us not long ago, and now another attack? And... a hundred and eighty people? How did you manage to get out?”
Colby taking on ten or even twenty people was nothing new to her.
But a hundred and eighty? That was a stretch.
Colby spoke softly, “I’m a bit tired now, let’s talk upstairs.”
“I'll help you up.”
Sophie supported Colby as they made their way to the second floor, with Adler and Jenna trailing behind.

Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
