Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1710

Dunn said, “Tell them we’ve found the kid. We’ll definitely send him back tonight!” After hanging up, Dunn immediately tried to contact Sullivan, but his calls went unanswered. He tried for a while but couldn’t get through. Fuming, Dunn quickly contacted Lyons. “Let's go! We’ll confront Sullivan together and get some answers!” And so, the men from the AA and BB Compounds joined forces. Together, they descended upon the CC Compound. It was late at night, and Sullivan was in his room, fooling around with a beautiful woman. He had just gotten her clothes off and was getting down to business when… *CRASH!* The door was kicked open. The naked woman screamed in terror, and Sullivan’s desire evaporated instantly. He turned, enraged, and roared at his right-hand man, “Are you trying to get yourself killed?!” His subordinate ignored Sullivan’s fury and said urgently, “We have a huge problem, Boss! Dunn and Lyons are here with a massive crew! They’re fully armed, and it looks like they want to wipe us out completely!” Sullivan frowned, got off the woman, and started dressing. As he put on his clothes, he asked, “What happened? Why are they coming after us out of the blue?” “It’s because of a kid!” his man explained. “Dunn took on a small job from Thyania to kill a boy, but our men impersonated Lyons’s crew and snatched him! Dunn and Lyons had a massive firefight before they figured out the kid was in our custody!” The subordinate showed Sullivan the photo. Sullivan first looked confused, then his face darkened. “Jett did this?!” Jett was the man in the photo pointing a gun at Evan. He was one of the CC Compound’s top enforcers and one of Sullivan’s most trusted men. “We can’t figure out what’s going on,” the subordinate said. “We can’t reach Jett. He’s gone missing!” Sullivan’s face grew grim. “Find him, now!” After giving the order, he picked up his phone and called Dunn to explain. “You and Mr. Lyons, hold on, don’t do anything rash. Something’s not right here. Jett probably did snatch the kid, but I didn't give that order. I’m looking for him right now too!” Dunn didn't believe him. “Jett is your right-hand man, loyal as a dog. You think he’d pull a stunt like this without your orders?!” “That’s why I’m saying something’s not right!” Sullivan insisted. “Just give me some time. We’re already searching for him!” Dunn glanced at the time. “We can sort out our internal problems later. First, find the kid! Mr. Lyons and I will be waiting right outside your territory. If we don’t see that boy in one hour, we’re coming in to find him ourselves!” Dunn hung up. Listening to the dial tone, Sullivan gritted his teeth and roared at his subordinate, “Find them now! Focus on finding that kid!” Meanwhile, back in Thyania. Elliot and Elijah were in their hotel room, monitoring the situation. Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Elliot called the female bodyguard. “Rose, I just sent you a video. I need you to do a little acting for me.” “Received.” The female bodyguard, Rose, was currently with Tarquin. Also with them were representatives from the Zhinorian Martial Arts Association, leaders of the Zhinorian community in Thyania, and representatives from the Thyanian Martial Arts Association, as well as officials from the Thyanian government and military. They were all gathered to discuss Evan’s situation. The husband-and-wife bodyguards were there in their roles as Evan's parents. After hanging up, Rose glanced at the video. She took a moment to silently compose herself, then let out a loud wail and burst into tears…
