Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2176

“Well, I’d say it was a success. We’ll be able to go back soon,” said Larry slowly.

This is great! I can finally go back and Jessica will no longer pester me. Larry felt elated at the prospect.

“Where is Ms. Zimmer? Did you lose her or something?” queried Larry again.

“I doubt anyone will disturb that tiger-lady. She’s spending some time alone at the beach, worry not,” replied Caspian, his voice low.

That being said, it is getting dark outside. Why isn’t she back yet? A faint hint of worry flashed in Caspian’s eyes.

“Surely you’re not worried about her being abducted or something?” mused Larry aloud.

But why hasn’t she shown up yet? She’s in her twenties, for Christ’s sake. Surely she’d be able to find her way back on her own? Caspian snorted coldly.

“Please. Who’d want to kidnap someone who looks like that? If there’s a kidnapping, she’s likely the culprit.”

The pair sat at the table in silence, occasionally broken by the sounds of Larry’s keyboard. Caspian flipped through a magazine, visibly bored. He suddenly missed Jessica. When they were together, there was never quite a moment of peace. Jessica was quite the chatterbox, after all. Now that she was not there, he could not help but feel worried.
