Chapter 615: Jake took a deep breath and steadied himself amidst the chaos. "Stay put in the car, Kallie," he instructed firmly.
"Lie down in the backseat. I'll check on the kids. No matter what you hear, don't move. Promiseyou won't do anything reckless." Kallie nodded. She understood that trailing behind Jake would only be a burden to him and even put him at greater risk.

Silence settled over the convoy, making Kallie even more anxious.
