Chapter 216:

The car raced away and vanished in a flash at the entrance of the hospital. Jack’s crew emerged from the shadowy recesses of the street.

“Where are the others?” one of the men asked. “Weren’t they supposed to be watching this place? Why is no one here?”

“I tried calling them, but no one picked up,” came the response.

“You’re all a sorry lot,” a man sneered. “If Jack were to come after me tonight, none of you would be spared. Reach out to them and ask them to meet me. Get in the car and pursue that vehicle. There are only two occupants in that car. I refuse to believe that I can’t find an opportunity to confront them.”

Norah attempted to pull away but eventually relented, allowing him to hold her hand.
