Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

"Don't forget to bring me along!"

Emmeline was cracking her knuckles in rage, thinking of Maxwell from when she was younger.

She had not been able to do anything about Maxwell back then, but now she would be able to get this Norman guy!

Waylon chuckled. "The second you bring up fighting, this sister of mine will be rearing to go."

"He deserves it, the bastard!" Emmeline rolled her eyes. "Fight him? I could kill him!"

"Bring Sam with you, then. I'll bear the consequences, as long as you don't kill him."

Waylon spoke calmly, but his words made Doris' chest thud.

Was he protecting her?

That wasn't right.

This guy was just giving his sister backup.

They had just talked through how they were going to teach the bastard of a guy a lesson, and something had happened to Jennie.

It was the next day, in the afternoon.

Doris was making pastries on the second floor of Nightfall Cafe when the phone rang.

She glanced at the phone, getting a fright when she saw it was her sister.

Could she have heard about anything?

She really did not want her sister to know about this.

She was banking on the fact that Norman might be able to learn his lesson and turn over a new leaf, and mend things with her sister.

That way, things would just blow over and her sister and the two kids would not be hurt.

Please let this be completely unrelated.

Doris' chest began to thump.

She picked up the phone, accepting the call and trying to sound calm. "Jennie, what's up?"

"Doris, come help me!"

Jennie's terrified voice came ringing through the phone.

Doris trembled. "Jennie, what's the matter? Where are you?"

"I'm on the seventh floor of the Verdaria. I'm trapped in the bathroom and a bunch of people are trying to get me, help!"

"Who are these people?" Doris was in shock. "Are you alright, Jennie?"

"Ahhhh!"

Jennie cried out in pain all of a sudden. Someone seemed to have slapped her.

It was followed by a thump— the phone clattered to the floor.

"Jennie! Jennie!" Doris called out in shock. "What's the matter?"

There was no reply. Someone had probably picked up the phone, and hung up on the call.

The phone was probably turned off by the time Doris called again.

Doris rushed downstairs, her apron still on and her hands covered in flour.

"Emma, Emma! Jennie's in trouble!"

Emmeline flew to her feet from the cashier counter.

"What's the matter, Doris? What happened to your sister?"

"Come on, Emma, we have no time! We have to save my sister!"

"Where's your sister?"

"Seventh floor of the Verdaria, in the bathroom! We're running out of time, let's go!"

Emmeline propped herself against the counter, hopping over in one swift move.

Sam came running over as well, cracking her knuckles. "Are we going to beat that bastard up?"

"I don't even know if he's there!"

Doris' face was pale. "I just know my sister's in trouble."

Emmeline had already grabbed the car key, running out to start the car.
