Wesley sighed helplessly.

“ALL right, ma'am. Let's take a different route."

Blair and Wesley went back to their room from behind the rows of villa-style detached houses.

They were having a fun vacation, but things turned sour soon. One morning, Carlos and Debbie went on a cruiser, and never came back.

Wesley was in charge of the search and rescue.

He mobilized rescue teams, and personally participated in the search.

When Wesley left their hotel room in the morning, Blair was still sound asleep. And when he came back in the evening, she had been asleep for about two hours. She felt his kiss and woke up.

"How's it going?" she asked.

He shook his head, exhausted and disappointed.

"We've covered a radius of ten kilometers, but there is still no news of them. We will increase the scope tomorrow."

It was a bit hot outside. Blair took out a bottle of iced water and handed it to him.

"Carlos and Debbie are blessed by fortune. They will be safe and sound. They are probably on some island, waiting for you to go rescue them."

“Mm hmm." That was exactly what he was hoping for. He wanted to put

Blair's mind at ease too. She had been worried sick after Debbie had gone missing.

“I'll run a bath for you," she offered. A warm bath would help ease the exhaustion.

Wesley pulled her into his arms and made her sit on his lap, smelling her hair.

“No need for that. A quick shower would be enough." He only had four hours to rest before he got back to the rescue mission. He had to find Carlos.

"ALL right."

Luckily, Carlos and Debbie were indeed safe just like Blair had said, and Wesley successfully rescued them from the island.

There were still many things to investigate regarding the wreck and they had to deal with the culprits, so the party was not in the mood for a vacation anymore. After their last meal together, they packed their bags and went back to their respective homes.

Blair didn't want to go anywhere in the hot summer, so she busied herself with the online translation work at home.

Wesley became busier and busier too. He even went missing for two days.

When he was back, his clothes were covered in mud and blood.

Blair's heart ached when she saw him in that state.

"Go get changed," she urged.
