Abel was already waiting in the living room. Adam pursed his lips, wondering if his men in the guard post should die because they let Abel in without his permission. Anyhow, Abel didn't look very happy. Something was about to happen.

"Adam, hand in her already," said Abel.

Adam gasped. Did Abel know that he abducted Emmeline? No. Impossible. Abel would have come with weapons in that case.

Adam regained his composure. "You're funny, Abel."

"No, I'm serious here. Where is Alana?" Abel cut to the chase.

Adam's eyes widened. Abel was already on Alana? That wasn't too far from the truth. Fortunately, Adam had already imprisoned Alana. No one could find her.

"Alana?" Abel poured red wine into two glasses. One for him, one for Abel. "I thought you were into Emmeline, not Alana."

"I am not interested in Alana. She disgusts me."

"Then why are you looking for her?"

"You don't need to know, Adam. Just tell me where she is," said Abel.

"I don't like her either. So I don't know where she is." Adam shrugged.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Why would I lie to you? She's just a used goods. I can help you look for her. But you need to tell me why you're doing this."

"I suspect that she kidnapped Emma. If she is guilty of it, I won't just be chopping off two fingers this time."

Adam shuddered. It sounded like that statement was directed toward him.

"I see. I'm sorry about what happened to Emmeline. I'll help you look for Alana then."

"No secrets between us, Adam," said Abel.
