My Wife is a Hacker

"Their escape route headed toward Northside?" Lulu furrowed her brows.

"It seems so. Did they go into the mountains?" June chimed in, noting that beyond Northside lay expansive wilderness.

Zane pondered for a moment and then suggested, "Regardless, this at least indicates that Charlie and his team might have pursued Everett into the mountains, hence their current incommunicado status." "So, they're out of signal range because they're in the mountains," Samuel agreed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; under the circumstances, this was relatively good news.

"I'll arrange for backup support right away," Zane declared, stepping aside to make the call. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Nicole, scrutinizing the surveillance footage that Preston, Ryder, and Gary had restored, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

It seemed that after EIlar and Patricia had escaped, Charlie had a chance to capture Everett, but Aquila unexpectedly intervened, helping Everett escape. Charlie then pursued them, and there had been no news since.

"Max has also taken a team out there; we'll get some news," Jared reassured, patting Nicole on the shoulder.

"Right." Nicole's gaze hardened, feeling confident that Everett wouldn't manage to elude them this time.

Even with Aquila's formidable skills, it was improbable he could outmaneuver their combined forces.

Turning to Spencer and Lulu, Nicole expressed her concern, "You've both been under a lot of strain these past few days. Go get some rest." "I'm okay," Lulu insisted, wanting to stay and wait for updates.

Spencer gently urged her, "Let's rest now. Nicole will inform US if there's any news."

"You look exhausted; you won't be able to help if you wear yourself out," June also supported the idea.

"Go rest," Nicole advised, "I'm likely to stay here through the night, and we'll need you fresh for tomorrow's tasks."

With a sigh, Lulu relented, "Alright then." "We'll head back too. If you need anything, make sure to call US immediately," June instructed Nicole before leaving.

Nicole offered a reassuring smile. "Alright, I'll keep you updated."

Soon after, Spencer, Samuel, Lulu, and June departed, leaving Nicole in the office with Zane and the others.

Returning from his call, Zane reported, "Everything is arranged." "We have to catch Everett this time," Preston said through gritted teeth, his frustration palpable. 'Everett harmed Grandpa before, and now he's targeting the entire Riddle family. He's despicable.' "Max is already en route with his team; they can coordinate with US," Jared mentioned to Zane.

Zane nodded affirmatively. "Right, we won't let Everett get away this time."

Meanwhile, in the mountains, Charlie and his team had been pursuing Aquila and Everett for a day and a night, their energy nearly depleted.

"Where could Aquila be hiding Everett and that woman?" Seth wondered, confused about where their elusive target could be hiding from their relentless pursuit.

"It seems Aquila had a hiding spot prepared in advance," Charlie speculated, his expression grave. 'No wonder Aquila fled in this direction after rescuing Everett; he must have planned this.' "He really is cunning," Seth remarked, shaking his head. If not for Aquila's sudden intervention, they would have captured Everett already, instead of enduring this grueling search.

"Stay calm, they won't get far," Charlie stated firmly, his voice carrying a sense of resolute determination.

"Right, we must continue our efforts. We'll find them eventually," Seth agreed.

Charlie glanced at his team and said, "Once we're well-rested, we'll continue." "Understood," the team responded, their spirits momentarily buoyed.

Observing the sky, Charlie instructed, "Let's split into two groups. Seth, you lead one team, and the rest will come with me. We’ll search separately."
