James asked, "Where are you right now?"
"In a small town called Vos," Isaac replied.
"You need to leave right away," James urged him and hung up before Isaac could say a word.
Isaac frowned and said, "We have to go."
"We haven't eaten yet," Zachary pointed out.
"No time," Isaac said, knowing that the gang were after them.
There was no other reason James would sound so urgent, and Isaac was concerned if James would be fine, especially since James hung up so suddenly.
Irene in turn told Stan right away, "Get the car."
Stan began, "But it isn't fixed…"
"It's fine. Just go," Irene urged nonetheless.
It was fine since it was just the rear windshield—the jeep could still move.
With that, Stan started running to the garage, while Irene helped Isaac to his feet as they left.
Zachary was looking around as he asked, 'Who are those people? They're relentless."
All Isaac knew was that they found out about the gang's secret. It was serious enough that once it was exposed, they would lose a lot of money and be implicated for it.
That was why they were bent on silencing any witnesses!
In fact, just as Isaac and the rest stepped outside the restaurant, there was a loud bang and the bullet fired shattered the glass door!
Irene quickly pulled Isaac back inside to hide behind a table, while the other customers in the restaurant started screaming and scrambling for cover as well!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"Argh!"
There were screams everywhere!
Zachary returned to them just then and tugged at Irene. "There's a back door."
