Nolan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache whenever he thought of how innocent Regina seemed.
Suddenly, Domingo flashed through his mind as a key player. The last time around, Domingo had taken quite a fall in the situation involving him and Regina. After years of hustling in the streets, would he really just swallow his pride?
"It better not have been you who pulled this stunt."
After escaping the last predicament, Nolan had been keeping tabs on Domingo, thinking if it really was him, there would have been some noise.
But Domingo had been unusually quiet since then, barely even showing up in his own turf.
Nolan couldn't let this lead slip. Just then, Lucy called.
"Mr. Harris, we've tracked Domingo's movements today. He went to his usual spot at the Joy Center, and we didn't spot him anywhere near the Tanner Mansion."
But after hearing her report, Nolan's suspicions only deepened. If not Domingo, he couldn't fathom who else Regina might have crossed recently.
To resort to such drastic measures, daring enough to kidnap someone in broad daylight without fear of surveillance, it had to be someone with a deep grudge against Regina. Otherwise, Nolan couldn't see who else would go to such lengths.
Imogen and Madeline were also within Nolan's considerations, but those two were still holed up at the Tanner Mansion.
That's when Francis called.
Nolan really didn't want to answer but feared there might be some leads on Francis's end.
