"Get on the boat!"
James grabbed Sophie's arm, pulling her towards the beach. Sophie resisted, asking, "Did Colby send you?"
"Get on the boat first!"
James practically shoved Sophie onto the boat, but he made no move to follow her.
"Someone will meet you in Devonport. Don't ask about anything else."
Sophie frowned, "You're not coming?"
"I'll be back after I handle things here."
James turned to the person standing next to Sophie and said, "Remember what your boss said. Make sure Ms. Sophie gets to Devonport safely. We can't afford any screw-ups."
"Yes, Mr. Burke."
James took one last look at Sophie. His eyes were unreadable, as if they were strangers.
Then, he turned and walked away, disappearing into the night.
"Ms. Sophie, we should go."
Sophie stared at the distant road, lost in thought. James had practically abducted her. Staying in Summerfield now would be a death sentence for him.
As the boat set off, Sophie asked, "Are you with Gordon?"
"Yes, Mr. Gordon ordered me to escort you back to Devonport."
"So, Colby came to Summerfield too?"
"Colby arrived today. He and Mr. Burke coordinated to get you out of Summerfield."
Sophie quickly asked, "How many men did he bring?"
The crew member remained silent.
A cold sweat broke out on Sophie's back. "Don't tell me it was just those guys who stormed the hall!"
"Boss! James is back!"
Outside, one of the men ran up to Odie, face pale with panic.
Odie's face darkened. "How many men did he bring?"
"Boss... just him!"
"Just him?"
Had James lost his mind?
Odie stepped outside to see James standing at the entrance, already surrounded by Odie's men.
"Mr. Burke, you took my people. Don't you owe me an explanation?"
Odie was ready to draw his pistol, but James simply said, "Mr. Odie, interested in making a deal?"

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
