Kaleb, I'm really sorry!
Someone's gotta take the blame for this.
Reaves had already noticed that the stuff in the safe was gone.
If she didn’t get Reaves' attention off her, her life would be in danger.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
The guy opened her bag and took out her phone.
The screen showed 'the Bourne family landline'.
"You ain't lying! Since you're with the Bourne family now, I won't make things difficult for you. Just go!" The guy didn’t wanna mess with the Bourne family.
Besides, he already did what he was supposed to.
After Violette got her freedom, she called Lacey back.
"Mrs. Bourne, why did you hang up? It's so late and you're not home yet, what happened?" Lacey's voice came through.
Violette looked around.
It was desolate here, the streetlights were dim, and there were dense woods on both sides. It was kinda creepy.
"Lacey, is the driver at home resting? I can't get a ride back." Violette was just wearing a dress, and a gust of autumn wind made her teeth chatter.
"The driver just brought Mr. Bourne back. I'll have him come pick you up. Send me your location."
"Okay."
Violette sent her location to Lacey's phone.
After receiving Violette's location, Lacey forwarded it to the driver.
After the driver went to pick her up, Lacey went to Elijah and explained for Violette: "Mrs. Bourne must have run into some trouble. She's in the suburbs now. There's no way she'd go there at night."
Elijah took Lacey's phone and looked at Violette's location.
It was a very remote place, hardly anyone goes there even during the day, let alone at night.
Elijah ordered the bodyguard: "Take some people over there right now and find out what happened."
About three hours later, Violette was picked up.
