Chapter 135, Part 1/2

Cameron felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He considered the current predicament far more complex than the previous one. Lena was completely under the drug's influence.

"Cameron, what should we do next?" Peggy asked, her heart racing at Lena's seductive state.

"Lena has been given a potent aphrodisiac. The antidote requires specific acupuncture needles, which I don't have. We need to return," Cameron explained seriously. He regretted not carrying the life-saving needles. He had to get back as soon as possible.

"What about Lena?" Peggy asked anxiously.

The round trip would take at least an hour, and Lena didn't seem able to last that long.

"I'll take her with us," Cameron decided, taking a deep breath. Time was of the essence to administer the antidote; otherwise, Lena's condition could be fatal, a consequence Cameron wanted to avoid at all costs.

"Take her home?" Peggy's suspicion rose. "You're not planning to take advantage of the situation, are you?"

"Ms. Lee, given the circumstances, do you think I'm in the mood for that?" Cameron responded, somewhat exasperated.

"Who knows? All men are the same!" Peggy retorted, but then realized the urgency. "Fine," she conceded, sensing Cameron's genuine intention to help. "I'll trust you this once."

Cameron didn't dwell on it, knowing they had to act quickly. He lifted Lena to leave.

"Wait, you're not leaving me here alone, are you?" Peggy's anxiety spiked at the thought of being left with the unconscious criminal.

"Don't worry, Blackheart is waiting outside; I'll have him come up," Cameron reassured her before hurrying downstairs. He had previously informed Blackheart of his mission, intending for him to assist and take the criminal for interrogation.

"Hey, wait!" Peggy tried to stop him, but Cameron was already gone. "How dare he leave me here alone!" She bit her lip in frustration. She thought Cameron was ungentlemanly.

Then, she recalled the mention of Blackheart. She wondered if Cameron was referring to the Blackheart, the world's wealthiest man. She contemplated how Cameron had enlisted his help. Blackheart's status was comparable to, if not superior to, Laura's. Peggy knew from Laura that Blackheart had returned to Yrando. She was perplexed by Cameron's access to his assistance.

Peggy concluded that Lena must have arranged for Blackheart's help. Given Lena's military status, it made sense that Blackheart would support her rescue. She figured Cameron must have met Blackheart outside by chance, explaining his knowledge of the backup plan. Peggy nodded to herself. She felt proud of her deduction and a little smug about her quick thinking.
