Chapter 143: For that long
The moment Jude stepped out of the lounge, the cool night air hit his face, but it wasn’t enough to quiet the storm brewing in his chest.
His phone buzzed sharply in his pocket, dragging him out of his thoughts. Instinctively, he fished it out and glanced down at the screen, his brows furrowing when he saw the message notification from Kelvin.
"Sir, we’ve successfully tracked Mr. Tryson’s location. We’re en route to get him now."
Jude read the words twice, his thumb hovering over the screen, and despite himself, he felt a small ripple of relief pulse through his tense body.
Tryson was finally within reach — one less piece of the puzzle dangling in the dark.
But that relief was short-lived, fleeting at best.
He knew all too well that this wasn’t the end; it wasn’t even halfway done. Because the moment Tryson was in their hands, the next move would be finding Angel — and that mattered even more.
Somehow, both Tryson and Angel had gotten themselves tangled in something far messier and far more dangerous than they could handle, and Jude wasn’t going to rest until he pulled them both out of it.
Still, one thing was clear: when this was over, when they were finally standing face to face again, there would be a hell of a lot of explaining to do.
No one walked away from something like this without answers — and he intended to get every single one.
