It was way past midnight.
Except for Sylvia, who had tapped out early due to exhaustion and was sent back to her room by the Harrison brothers, everyone was gathered in the living room, anxiously waiting for news.
Finally, it was Sawyer who burst in with an update. "We found the driver!"
At that, Gilbert leaped to his feet. "Where?"
"Our guys are already on their way there," Sawyer replied.
"Lead the way!"
"Right."
Gilbert turned and headed for the door.
"Caroline."
Francis turned to Caroline, who looked stunned. "What's up?"
He said, "We're going too."
What? Caroline's face soured instantly, though it was hard to tell under the dim lights. "Us? But, your health..."
"I'm fine."
Francis waved off her concern, adamant, "Sherilyn's my sister."
How could he just sit around when his sister was missing?
He glanced at Caroline, frowning, "If you don't want to come, stay here."
Caroline was taken aback, forcing a smile. "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm not worried about Sherilyn?"
As if!
She couldn't let herself stay behind. At the very least, she could keep an eye on him.
Suppressing her irritation, Caroline steadied the wheelchair. "I'm worried about you, too. If we're going, we'll go together."
"Alright."
As they stepped outside, it was no surprise to Gilbert to see the sleek silver Pagani still there. Edgar hadn't left yet?
Too bad, if he wanted to follow, let him.
