Love Unspoken

Walter smirked, "So, this is the guy you wanna off? Looks like you're aiming high, trying to take me down too, huh?"

"Come on, man. You really think Quinn's that big of a deal to me?" Landon drawled, sounding bored.

"Guess I did something good for once," Walter mocked.

He hung up, his grin turning icy. Alexander's earlier words hinted that he had saved Landon before and teamed up with him. Their relationship was always a tightrope walk; one minute they were partners, the next, they were ready to rip each other apart.

One second they're at each other's throats, the next, they're shaking hands.

Walter shot a text to Alexander: [He's in Municity.]

Sean was the first to freak out when he got the address. "Mr. Kennedy, you can't go there; it's a death trap!" Municity was a total mess, with all sorts of shady characters running the show. Landon was baiting him, hoping to take him out. Alexander stared out the window, looking all serious and stuff, not saying a word.

Sean couldn't hold back, "Walter's a real snake. He's in cahoots with Landon, trying to lure you in and take you down. You can't fall for it."

Staring at Alexander's back, he kept pushing, "Look, he cares about Mrs. Kennedy too. Even if you don't go, she'll be fine."

Alexander shot him a glance, "He wants me there, but this isn't about Quinn's safety."

"Then what's his game?" Sean asked, confused.

"If he wanted to pull this off, he'd have done it in Vegas. Why wait till now?"

Sean felt like his brain was fried.

Alexander added, "Plus, Quinn being under Landon's thumb doesn't help him. If he really wanted this, he wouldn't let Landon be the one to snatch Quinn."

That'd mean Landon could control him too. Now it's a waiting game; whoever blinks first loses.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Walter and Landon weren't exactly best buds either; they were always ready to stab each other in the back. Since Landon had Quinn, he wasn't gonna let this chance slip. Sean was still puzzled. "So what's Walter's angle?"

Alexander explained, "He wants me to go save her. If I pull it off, great. If I don't, at least Landon takes a hit, making it easier for him to rescue Quinn later." Sean asked, "So what do we do? Not go?"

Before he could finish, Alexander was already out the door, not even listening to the rest of his plea.

Sean gritted his teeth and followed.

As soon as Alexander stepped out, he bumped into Larry.

Larry offered, "Alexander, if you need backup, I got you."

"No need." Alexander brushed past him towards the parking lot, saying, "Going to a place like that, more people just means more problems."

Larry, leaning on his cane, caught up and said, "But you can't go solo. Take a few guys with you, just keep it low-key."

Alexander paused, turned to look at him.

Larry's face was all concern.

Alexander thought for a moment, then opened the car door and got in. He didn't say yes or no.

Sean quickly hopped in the driver's seat, and they headed straight for the airport.
