Can’t Win Me Back

Everyone in the room was astounded by Jasper’s sudden proposition.

“Mr. Beckett’s hunch is spot on. Ms. Alyssa could very well be on Rose Island!” Amber’s eyes sparkled with hope. She chimed in, I remember overhearing Carl mention that Jameson bought an island. He was obsessed with it, always vacationing and relaxing there.

“I didn’t think much of it back then, Jameson owns so many properties that an island seemed trivial. But now that I think of it, it feels suspicious.

“If it was just another island, why would he care so much about it, checking on it personally so often? This isn’t like him at all. He’s probably been planning this for a while. That island must be his last hideout!”

If someone else had said that, others might have doubted it. But, as Jameson’s former trusted subordinate, Amber’s theory was plausible.

‘We’ll leave now. I’ll pilot the helicopter myself to get us to the island! Jasper’s heart pounded like stormy waves crashing against his chest.

His eyes were bloodshot as he holstered his gun, grabbed his phone and gear, and headed for the door. But Cyrus and Liam blocked his way.

“No, you can’t go!” Liam extended his arms. “A typhoon has reached Kontina’s coastal areas. Port operations and flights will be suspended for three days starting tonight. If you fly the helicopter now, you’ll be flying to your death!”

The redness in Jasper’s eyes didn’t subside. In that case, I’ll take a boat out to sea!”
