The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Xante and Sunny walked over to look as well.
Lucas dusted off his hands and stood up. He then summoned his men back and ordered them to follow the tire tracks.
After that, he and the rest of the group got in their own cars and drove off toward the direction of the town.
The tire tracks were made visible since the ground around the explosion site was made up of mud, but it would be impossible to
see them after they got on the asphalt road. Thus, they had no choice but to stop the car and contact the traffic bureau to help
them locate any vehicle that might have looked suspicious through the use of traffic surveillance footage.
Since not many cars would drive to the explosion site in the middle of the night, they managed to quickly locate a suspicious-
looking minivan driving out from the explosion site and toward a small bungalow situated in a narrow alley.
With that information on hand, they swiftly drove to the bungalow. Once they arrived, they could hear the sound of a group of
men talking and the smell of barbecue coming from the other side of the small metal gate.
Lucas, Aaron, Xante, and Sunny got out of their cars and entered the narrow alley. They did not drive there as they did not want
to alarm the kidnappers. There were plenty of hiding spots in the narrow alley since all the houses had their lights turned off. In
fact, the place that was giving off lights was the one that the kidnappers were in.
Sunny frowned and worriedly whispered, “Lucas, was Corinne kidnapped by these men after they saw her at the explosion site?
I don’t like the sound of those men. Do you think she’s going to be okay?”
Lucas’ face darkened, and his hands were already balled into fists. “Shut up and be quiet!”
Sunny dropped his head down in shame. He knew she should be quiet, but he could not help but worry about Corinne. The
thought of those stinky men hurting Corinne made him want to rush inside and beat them up that very instant.
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. “You guys wait here. I’m going to find an excuse to go in.”
Aaron grabbed her arm to stop her. “They’re so many of them. If the boss is in there, you’re only going to arouse suspicions by
visiting a house so late in the night,” said Aaron calmly.
Xante frowned. “What do you suggest we do, then?”
“We should observe a little more,” said Aaron.

“But what if they have the thought of having their way with Corinne after they finish eating?” asked Sunny impatiently.
Aaron was worried about the same thing, but he could not afford to act rashly when it came to Corinne’s safety. “Let’s all calm
down. Think about it: The boss is pregnant, so I don’t think they kidnapped her to have their way with her. My guess is they have
some ulterior motives for bringing her here.”
Sunny thought what he said made sense. He had almost forgotten Corinne was a pregnant woman. Suddenly, Lucas shushed
them, and the three of them immediately shut up. Soon, the men’s crude conversation floated into their ears.
“I wonder what’s taking the boss so long to come out.”
“Maybe he’s having his way with her as we speak.”
“Hahahaha! Maybe!”
“Well, I gotta hand it to him. I couldn’t do it to a pregnant lady at all.”
“Hahahaha... That’s why he’s our boss!”
“Shut up, you pigs! Don’t let the boss hear you, or he’ll beat you all up!”
