The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2608

Luckily, what surprised them was that the iron wires were very soft, and the edges seemed to be curled up, possibly due to years of disrepair. Henry did not dare to delay any longer. After confirming the material of the mesh, he carefully made his way back and sat on the ground again. However, this time he could not control his strength well, and he fell to the ground.

Claudia let out a quiet gasp, while the kidnappers outside reacted quickly. The lively drinking noises from the next room continued, but one person, who appeared very sober, grabbed an iron rod and pushed open their door.

After seeing Henry lying on the ground, he warned them, "I warn you not to think about escaping or you're going to get a good beating from this iron rod in my hand!"

"It's confirmed that there's one person not drinking next door," said Henry.

Henry's voice continued to tremble, causing Claudia to become increasingly alarmed. "Dad, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me!"

The occasional visits from the kidnappers had left Claudia in a cold sweat. She did not know how she would cope if something were to happen to her father.

"I'm fine. I was just a bit startled by the kidnapper who came in. My heart can't handle such excitement. Oh, by the way, Lucas, I've confirmed that the mesh on the window is made of a very tough material, but I think we can bend it apart with a little force. We can definitely escape through the rear window!" said Henry.

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief at the good news. "Mister Henry, you should take a breather. You don't sound too good. We'll escape when they're drunk."

Even if Lucas had not said so, Henry knew he needed some rest. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, causing him to frown and bite his lower lip tightly. He tried not to make any sound for fear of making Lucas and Claudia worry.

…

Captain Jimmy Collins's judgment was indeed correct. There had been quite a few ex-convicts released from prison in the past six months. One person, Stan Cruz, who had a history of kidnapping, caught his attention.

"This guy was like a big shot in prison. He had almost everyone taking his order. Because of that, we relocated those who were close to him to different prisons. Do you remember, boss?" recalled one of Jimmy's subordinates.
