Chapter 123: Won’t leave
Remo’s heart raced as he heard Tony’s urgent voice on the other end of the line. Without a moment’s hesitation, he grabbed the keys from one of his men and bolted out of the hideout, the lawyer following closely behind.
Fumbling with the keys, Remo cursed under his breath as his hands shook with nervous energy. The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on him, making it difficult to concentrate. But before he could unlock the car, the lawyer placed a hand on his shoulder, halting him in his tracks.
"I don’t think you’re fit to drive," the lawyer said, his tone firm but sympathetic.
Remo didn’t argue. Instead, he handed the keys over to the lawyer, his mind racing with worry for Abby’s safety. Together, they practically threw themselves into the car, barely managing to shut the doors before the lawyer started the engine and peeled out of the driveway with a screech of tires.
As they sped through the streets, Remo’s fingers flew over his phone, dialing Tony’s number repeatedly. Each unanswered call only added to his growing sense of dread. With each passing moment, his anxiety mounted, a knot of worry tightening in his chest.
"Come on, Tony, pick up," Remo muttered under his breath, frustration evident in his voice. But with each attempt, there was no response.
With a frustrated curse, Remo slammed his fist against the dashboard, the sound echoing through the car. The lawyer glanced over at him, concern etched on his face.
"Can you explain to me what’s going on right now?" the lawyer asked, his voice steady despite the urgency of the situation.
Remo’s jaw clenched as he struggled to find the right words. "I don’t know what’s going on," he replied, his voice tinged with frustration. "But we’re going to find out."
