Chapter 787 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Kevin was well aware of the obstacles in his path that Jenny brought up. More than that, he wanted to understand her motive. Perhaps, he now had a newfound respect for her because she had survived their attack. “Miss Walter, what do you want out of this?’
“My goal is simple; do not lay a finger on your hostages. If you’re worried about revenge from the Glasses, I can solve that problem for you.” Jenny was satisfied with her proposed solution. Kevin had no good reason to turn her down unless he didn’t want to get out of Clusia safely.
Indeed, Kevin hesitated at the attractive offer. The problem of leaving Clusia after getting the ransom weighed heavily on his mind.
Jenny remained calm in the face of his silence. At the same time, she urged Neil to work faster to locate Graham and James.
Two minutes later, Kevin chuckled. ‘Til consider your suggestion.”
“Great. I’ll wait for your reply,” Jenny replied. Kevin hung up soon after when she did not insist on staying on the line. Pushing it too far might attract his suspicion. All her efforts would go down the drain if he moved his men elsewhere. After the call, she hurriedly asked Neil, “Have you located them?
“I don’t have the exact location, but I know they’re in a small town further south of Glensbury. This town borders Bardoff City,” he answered.
She had no further questions as she stood up to leave. “Look into that town for any place related to wood.”
Graham gave her a crucial hint when he mentioned the smell of wood in the air. He was trying to reveal to her the details of the location where they were kept. With one sentence, Graham had helped with the
search under their current limitations.
Jenny rushed to the small town from Bardoff City with her team. It would take them a good forty minutes, meaning they only had twenty minutes to start the search locally before they had to wire the ransom. Money was never an issue for Jenny. She was more worried that Kevin would kill off his hostages after receiving the transfer. That was why she refused to wire the money until the very last minute.
Meanwhile, Kevin had left the room where he kept Graham and James at the logging factory. He lit a cigarette in the yard, debating whether to kill his hostages according to plan or keep them alive for Jenny’s help in crossing the border. He had no doubt about her capabilities because she was a Walter, one of the Ten Elites. The threat hanging over him was mainly from the Walters and the Windsors. If the Walters could take care of the police, crossing the border would be a piece of cake.
One of his men came over and asked, concerned, “Boss, are we releasing those two after we get the money?”
“What do you think?” Kevin shot back.
“We can’t let them go. They look dangerous. If we release them, they’ll be after us in the next second. We’ll be screwed,” the man opined.
Kevin nodded in agreement. However, he knew that Jenny wouldn’t take it lying down if they killed Graham and James. He felt a headache creeping up at the thought.
Some serious thinking later, he got an idea. “Let’s not do anything to them. We’ll get Jenny Walter to help us cross the border. At that time, we will kill them off. We get to leave Clusia and not worry that they’ll take revenge. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?’
Jenny wouldn’t pull any tricks as long as Graham and James were in captivity. Kevin grinned, confident in his foolproof scheme to secure the ransom and make a clean getaway from Clusia.
