The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2616

"They haven't sprouted wings, so no way did they just vanish into thin air right under my nose. They must still be around here. Search thoroughly, boys."

"Yes, Boss!"

Elton's eyes were wide open inside the rank and stifling dumpster. He could hear Jaxon's footsteps drawing closer, and he even tapped on the lid of the dumpster.

"Hey, don't forget to clear out the trash by the front gate tomorrow. The garbage truck only swings by this backwater village once a day."

The henchmen searching for him paused, confused by this sudden mention of garbage collection.

"Got it, Boss."

Only Elton knew this was bad news.

On the run, Victoria suddenly cried out and then her legs gave way, and she dropped to her knees. Balfour immediately stopped and asked her, "What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?"

She clutched her chest as tears streamed down her face. "Something's happened to my dad!"

Mara, who was closing in on the village, also clutched her chest suddenly.

"Officer, please, speed up, my dad might be in trouble—"

Alyssa glanced at her with a stern expression, and the officer floored the accelerator.

The next second, Elton's dumpster was kicked over, and the other kidnappers gathered around, not understanding why their boss had suddenly taken an interest in a dumpster.
