Raegan, although alarmed, tried to soothe Elin, “Calm down first. Did Nicole say anything else?”
Elin strained her memory and then added, “I think I overheard someone mentioning ‘Mr. Schultz’ in the background, but that was all.”
Mr. Schultz? Raegan connected the dots to Mr. Schultz in Nicole’s life. That had to be Jarrod!
Raegan reassured Elin, “Don’t worry. I know who to contact. I’ll get more information and update you.”
Ending the call, Raegan immediately contacted Mitchel.
Mitchel answered swiftly. “Raegan, what’s the matter?”
Mitchel’s voice was a comfort in her turmoil. “Mitchel..
Sensing Raegan’s distress, Mitchel urged, “Don’t fret. What’s going on?”
Raegan shared Nicole’s predicament, her voice breaking. “Mitchel, could you check if Jarrod’s involved? If he’s not, let’s not bother him.”

Raegan feared Jarrod might cause Nicole trouble if he was bothered over something he wasn’t involved in.

Mitchel paused briefly before responding, “I’ll look into it and get back to you.”
“Alright, I’m waiting.”
Raegan’s trusting response warmed the chilly night. Mitchel, feeling uplifted, affirmed, “I’m on it.”
Restlessly, Raegan awaited his call.
After a tense half-hour, Mitchel’s call came through. He revealed, “It’s Jarrod. Miss Lawrence has injured Jarrod.”
Raegan was stunned. “Is Nicole in danger?”
Mitchel replied, “No, but Jarrod is critically injured and hasn’t regained consciousness yet.”
Raegan’s heart raced. “Where’s Nicole now? Do you know her whereabouts?”
“She’s at Jarrod’s place. Alec has left her there.” Mitchel, trying to alleviate her worries, added, “Don’t stress too much. Jarrod’s people have contained the situation. It looks like they don’t plan to harm her, or else she would have been detained already.”
Raegan felt slightly relieved but still uneasy. “Can I go see Nicole?”
“I don’t think so. I’m unaware of Jarrod’s current location. We must wait for him to wake up.”
Jarrod had accumulated many adversaries in his quest to lead his family enterprise. For security, his location was often undisclosed to prevent potential attacks.
“Isn’t there any way to find out more?” Raegan inquired, still concerned.
“Stay calm. Jarrod won’t harm Miss Lawrence.” Mitchel understood Jarrod’s affection for Nicole rivaled his love for Raegan.
