Ludwik paused before striding over with determination.

Parker's eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. "After tirelessly scouring through footage from several surveillance points around the forest, I spotted an unlicensed black car. It entered the night Sammy was kidnapped and left before dawn. Its tinted windows caught my

"Crown City?" Ludwik's voice was ice-cold.

Parker continued, "Assuming Sammy was in that car, and given the Bartels family's influence in Crown City, it wouldn't be far-fetched for Elaine to hide him there."

The girl shyly lowered her eyes, her gaze cooling, "That child..."

Myra's expression darkened, lowering her voice, "Drew has taken care of it. The boy has been taken to Crown City, and the unlicensed car destroyed."

The girl fell silent.
