Chapter 5 - Escaping the Lobby Before Lucas's Family Finds Them
Two men in dark tailored suits briskly approached the concierge desk, scanning the surrounding lobby with sharp eyes.
“Mr. Kincaid, your vehicle is waiting in the underground private loading bay,” the lead bodyguard reported.
“Good, secure the perimeter immediately; we have two VIP passengers traveling with us,” Lucas instructed firmly.
Elena hesitated, taking a nervous step backward toward the revolving glass doors leading out to the rainy street.
“Lucas, if your mother’s people spot us leaving together, they’ll intercept the car before we reach the highway,” she argued.
“They won't see us; we’re taking the service elevator straight down to the armored subterranean garage,” Lucas assured her.
He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, guiding the stroller toward the restricted staff corridor.
The heavy metal door clicked shut behind them, cutting off the noise of the bustling hotel lobby completely.
Down in the concrete depths of the garage, a sleek black Mercedes-Benz armored SUV idled quietly in the shadows.
