Chapter 39 Will you let us go? (1/2)

Both Ethan and Lexi looked at each other with their brows knitted. They were puzzled by the man's upset claims and apprehension. Keeping their silence for a while, Lexi flinched when the door of the vehicle abruptly opened.

There, it revealed an equipped man with a black cloth covering his whole except his eyes. However, despite that his features were all covered, Lexi could tell by his distress from his eyes. It was as if he was more on the desperate and worse situation than them.

After scanning Ethan and Lexi's condition, he let out a heavy sigh before closing the doors again. Just as the door was shut close, a loud cursed was once again reached Lexi's ear.

”F*ck!!”

Hearing another distress curse outside, Lexi's brows could not help but twitch. They were the one who was being tied up and was captured yet, why was the man was acting very out of character.

Considering the frightening rifle clung across his body and his physique, Lexi expected that he was a terrifying felon. Alas, instead of feeling more scared than she was now, it rather gave her a slight relief for some unknown reason.

Averting her eyes to Ethan who was attentively listening to the conversation outside, she whispered, ”Hey…”

”Shhh.” Alas, Ethan gently hushed her as he moved on her side and leaned his ear against the wall of the vehicle.

”They were one of the guests according to him.”

”I know that! Why the hell did you park beside that car in the first place?! We were told a designated position to move those bastards! Ha, you've been lax aren't you?”

Ethan faintly heard their conversation and grasp a thing or two from them. First, they were not the target and it just so happened that they were present at the wrong place and time. Second was, this group of armed men might or might not harm them if they obediently followed their demand.

He turned to Lexi's direction after his conclusion. At the same time, Lexi turned her gaze on him as well. By the looks of their eyes, Ethan and Lexi seemed to have a silent understanding of their dilemma.

However, before the two could spat a word, the door was opened once again. Turning their attention on the opened backdoor, they were slightly surprised that the man who checked them earlier had two bottles of water and two sandwiches.

”Here, keep yourselves hydrated.” the masked man offered as he threw the sandwiches on Ethan's lap with impeccable precision and rolled the bottled water towards them.

”Uh, how nice of you.” Before Lexi could realize it, her sarcasm was released from her mouth as she glanced at the beverage and snacks for them.
