Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 122:

Norah drove her off-road vehicle, following the police cars quickly to the Fox Alliance’s base, armed with the

clues they had gathered.

This was the sspot Sean had mentioned earlier, now proving its worth.

Norah’s mind was filled with questions.

When did Kason manage to get on the wrong side of the Fox Alliance? And why did he go there without his usual

bodyguards?

The headquarters of the Fox Alliance was a short drive from where the abduction took place, barely ten minutes

away.

The head of the police team wore a look of concern. “Miss, we're in the middle of official police work. Please

don’t interfere, and thank you for your help.”

It was obvious they preferred Norah to stay back. As a civilian, she could unintentionally complicate their

operation.

Their request for her to leave made sense.

Yet, the thought of Kason possibly facing torture inside filled Norah with dread.

She was capable of sneaking in to him, but she knew the police would never agree to such an action. Leaving

was not an option for her.

“There seems to be a large group inside. Maybe you should call for additional backup,” Norah suggested, casting

a shadow over the captain's mood.

“Are we the police, or are you? We handle our matters without needing outside help.”

Norah clenched her teeth, determination in her eyes.

She understood that the police had their responsibilities. “I'm staying right here, and I'm not moving from this

spot.”

The sight of blood on the grass was a grim hint that Kason was hurt. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving

without ensuring his safety.

With her lips tightly sealed, she observed the police force's activities, noting their hesitation to advance. The

police captain was in deep discussion with his team.

“We're looking at a minimum of a hundred people inside, all armed, and the area hasn't been fully surveyed yet.

What's the word from the city police department?”

It looked like an immediate intervention was off the table. Uncertainty hung over Kason’s condition, leaving

Norah filled with worry.

Norah hopped back into her car, turned it around, and headed off to find a parking spot on the opposite side of

the Alliance’s headquarters.

“Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson has just parked,” Phillip reported.

Sean's gaze turned thoughtful. If he wasn’t wrong, this was indeed the Fox Alliance's headquarters, the same

place he had mentioned to Norah a couple of days prior. What was her reason for being here?

“And why have the police shown up?” Sean asked.

“Miss Wilson filed a report about Mr. Hayes being missing. The police traced their last leads to the Fox Alliance,

which brought them here. But it’s puzzling what Miss Wilson is doing here.”

As Phillip finished speaking, Norah, clad in black, her hair tied back in a ponytail and her face concealed by a

black mask, emerged from her vehicle. She attached daggers to her belt and proceeded with determination.

Phillip couldn’t hide his astonishment. “Is Miss Wilson planning to storm into the Fox Alliance by herself? She's

quite daring.”

The Fox Alliance was infamous in Glophia for its notoriety.

And there was Norah, a woman seemingly prepared to infiltrate their domain all by herself.

Sean's dark eyes were a whirlpool of intense feelings. Was Kason so important to her? Was she truly prepared to

risk everything for him, to confront a notorious gang numbering in the hundreds on her own? Did her own safety

mean so little to her?

“Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson is on her way out. Should we intervene?” Phillip asked.

Phillip didn’t know what was going on between Sean and Norah but sensed something.

Norah seemed to be deliberately avoiding Sean, and arranging even a single meeting between them had been a

challenge. It seemed Sean was being unusually humble.

Sean quickly exited his car, bringing nothing with him, and chased down Norah.

He caught her wrist with urgency in his voice. “Norah!”

Caught off guard, Norah exclaimed, “Sean? What are you doing here?”

Before Norah could process the situation, she attempted to free herself. “Let go of me!”

Memories from the past flashed as she said with determination, “Let go!”

“Is Kason so important to you that you would risk your own life for him?” Sean spoke softly, his face showing a

hint of sadness. “Please, stay put.”

The Fox Alliance was a dangerous place. Sean assumed if Norah went inside, she could get seriously injured.

“This is not your concern,” Norah said coldly, brushing off Sean’s hand. “I've made myself clear before. | have

urgent matters to attend to.”

“We can meet another time,” Norah strode off, her posture unwavering, showcasing her firm resolve.

Sean felt a sharp ache in his chest, similar to the one he had felt after Norah refused his advances. It was as if he

was struggling to breathe, desperately gasping for air.

“Mr. Scott, are you okay?” Phillip rushed to his side, offering support with a pat on the back, his face filled with

concern.

“It's nothing,” Sean steadied his breath. “Let's leave.”

Sean told himself that if Norah wanted to be in danger, it truly wasn’t his place to intervene. Her words were so

ruthless. Why should he bother anymore?

He turned away, his movements reflecting a newfound coldness.

Phillip looked on, worried not just for Sean but for Norah, venturing alone into danger.

Sean was visibly shaken, his emotions getting the better of him.

Phillip knew he’d regret his indifference if something happened to Norah, undoubtedly leaving him to deal with

the aftermath.

“Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson is a woman! The people inside are not easy to deal with. The Fox Alliance even

considered abducting her before. What if they recognize her now?” Phillip was interrupted as Sean made a U-turn

and moved past him.

With a stern tone, Sean instructed, “Pressure the police to act more swiftly.”

“And you?”

“Ill be following her in.”

With each step, Sean felt a sharp pain echo through his chest, battling the urge to choke on his thoughts.

Memories of Norah—her pride, her struggles, her elegance—each moment was vividly imprinted in his mind.

Sean was determined not to—

He couldn't stand by idly if Norah faced danger, not while he could still do something.

Meanwhile, Norah, consumed with thoughts of Kason, paid no mind to the possibility of Sean trailing her again,

nor did she ponder why he was outside the Fox Alliance headquarters or why he had confronted her.

The Fox Alliance's headquarters was nestled in a rural area on the outskirts, surrounded by walls. It housed

several farmhouses within its perimeter.

The dim glow of rooms signaled the presence of people. She moved along the wall’s shadows, silent as a ghost.

In her previous assignments with her organization, remaining undetected was a crucial skill, and Norah excelled

at it, able to enter any place silently, unseen by others.

She moved quietly, blending into the darkness, drawing nearer with each silent step.

At this hour, the area was secluded, the thought of an intruder climbing the walls to sneak in almost unthinkable.

Typically, the more influential the individual, the more centrally located their accommodations.

Norah made her way toward the center of the base, where she spotted a house that stood out, its lights burning

brighter than the rest.

From within, the sound of voices echoed. “Drink! Drink more! The more you drink, the merrier!”

Norah instantly recognized the voice.

It was the swoman who had attempted to kidnap her before. If her intelligence was accurate, this woman,

Hilda, ranked second in the Fox Alliance, wielding significant influence.

She wondered whom Hilda was speaking to.

Treading lightly, Norah moved closer to the house, the sounds of Hilda's voice growing increasingly clear. “He's

completely wasted. Someone, bring him to my room.”
