Colby showed up in just thirty minutes flat. Normally, the drive from the airport to Aldridge Estate takes a good forty minutes at least. No doubt, he must've been running red lights, speeding, and pulling off some wild stunts to make it there so quick.
The alarms outside the Aldridge Estate were blaring nonstop. Someone was definitely trying to break in. Inside, Odie slipped on his noise-canceling headphones, knowing all too well how Colby operates. If he can't get in the easy way, he doesn't mind going for the hard way. But this time, he was here to see Sophie, so he had to play nice and not upset her. He probably didn't break in, but he definitely set off the alarms.
As expected, the Aldridge family's security team rushed to the front gate. When they saw who it was, they were taken aback. There was Colby, standing solo outside the iron gate with a gun in hand. He must've shot an alarm, setting off every single one in the place.
"Colby, what's going on here?" The lead guard stepped up, trying to negotiate. One on the inside, one on the outside, and the tension was thick.
"I'm here for Sophie. Open the gate."
"Colby, it's not up to us. Mr. Aldridge gave strict orders not to open it... unless Ms. Sophie wants to see you herself. Otherwise, we can't risk it."
Harold had left them with clear instructions. When in doubt, use Sophie as the excuse. And sure enough, Colby's stern look softened a bit. "I don't want to cause trouble, but if Sophie won't see me, I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

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.
