Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon

Chapter 377

Chapter 377

"Luke, couldn't you just lie quietly in a ditch somewhere?"

Vespera stared at Luke like he was a serial killer, every nerve on edge.

He just never stopped. He was always showing up, haunting her like a damn ghost.

Luke's face was grim, and what he said next completely blew her mind.

"Tina was taken."

Vespera was still stuck in that annoyed headspace when his words hit her like a bolt of lightning.

"What kind of sick joke is that? Do you think this is a movie or something? That's impossible, she's locked up in holding!"

Rebecca came out of the apartment just then.

She'd heard the exchange. "Where did you even hear that? That's absolutely not possible."

Luke stepped inside.

He moved fast, Vespera and Rebecca couldn't have stopped him even if they'd wanted to.

"Half an hour ago, someone I had posted in Ashford called me. Tina was being transferred to another holding facility today. During transport, she was ambushed. One officer's dead, another's injured."

Both Vespera and Rebecca went dead silent.

A chill ran through their arms and legs.

Luke turned to Rebecca, his expression dark. "I came for you. I heard you've been working with that boy's family.

"You've been going back and forth to Ashford a lot, you've got better access. Ask your contacts in the local PD if they've heard anything."

Rebecca snapped out of the shock.

She narrowed her eyes. "Are you helping us now? Since when were you such a good guy?"

Vespera rubbed her temple. "He doesn't want to help us. He wants information. Tina's escaped, and of course, she's going to come looking for him. He's the love of her life, dear old Luke."

"Vespera, I'm worried about you," Luke said, his eyes full of sincerity.
