In an upscale Luxury Suite, Penny Smith, Kylie Tonkins, and Queenie Smith stood in a fresh change of clothes with their hair soaking wet.
Earlier, they were in the Presidential Suite enjoying a movie when Nathan accidentally activated the smoke alarm and the sprinkler. The trio were instantly soaked to the skin!
Finally, Nathan asked for a change of rooms to the Luxury Suite in the hotel.
The ladies thought that this was all an accident.
Unknown to them, Colin Dunne brought his men into the Presidential Suite shortly after the four of them left. The men dragged out the bodies of some shadow killers and sent them to the Brown family, along with Eagle and Leftie's motionless bodies.
Penny changed into a fresh set of clothes and dried her hair with a towel. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry at her predicament, she said, "This trip to the
East is truly filled with unfortunate events. How could the smoke alarm be activated when we were just watching a movie? Look at us! We look like drowned rats!"
Nathan replied with a smile, "Well, things aren't that bad, at least compared to some people."
The Brown Family are the ones who are doomed!
Nathan had always hated them and recently set his mind on putting them in their place.
However, not only did they not restrain themselves, but they also even dared to challenge his authority. Tyson's actions tonight truly infuriated him.
Nathan decided that he would destroy the Brown family with his own hands!
The next day, Tyson attempted to use his connections in The East to find his son.
However, all his friends in the military and politics refused to help him when he informed them of what happened. Their responses left him puzzled.
Some of them even hung up right away after hearing that it was about his son.
Needless to say, it left him shocked and angry!
Usually, everyone would be chummy with him. When he needed help, these friends would not hesitate to come to his aid. Why was it different this time then?
Meanwhile, Tim Brown was nowhere to be found, despite the Brown family's vast connections in Horton.
Tyson was shocked to the core and could only pin all his hopes on Nathan Cross. He prayed day and night for the man to concede. If he chose not to come after Tim Brown, surely General Davis would agree to let him go.
As such, he picked up the phone once more and dialed Nathan.
"Nathan, I'm giving you one last chance.
You either call General Davis and ask him to let go of my son, or your family will end up in Horton for the rest of their lives."
“You know that I mean what I say, considering the number of resources I have in Horton."
