Jessica then asked Hank where Liberty was and found out that Liberty’s group fell behind. After lunch, Jessica insisted on waiting at a nearby restaurant for Liberty and the others before watching the performance at the aquarium.
Many who came to the zoo were here for the aquatic performance.
Serena’s group took Sonny into the aquarium.
“Sonny.”
Lucas had a fun time today.
“Lucas.”
Sonny politely greeted Lucas as Lucas approached to sit with Sonny. The boy was yakking to Sonny about the animals he saw.
The adults let the children sit together.
Due to Lucas’s history of picking on Sonny, Serena sat beside Sonny while Liberty kept an eye on the children from behind.
The two Yorks‘ bodyguards were sitting not too far away. Instead of watching the show, they were bright–eyed and bushy–tailed.
Jessica was not in the mood to watch the show as she was on edge. She kept turning her gaze to Sonny.
She wondered if the plan would work.
Would Sonny be hurt in their hands?
Although there were a lot of people in the zoo, would these people be able to escape once they got the boy?
When would she stir a commotion?
The York family’s bodyguards were high on alert.
In short, Jessica was on pins and needles.
Halfway through the performance when everybody was highly invested, a fight erupted at the back of the crowd. The huge commotion caused everybody to turn around and look.
Two parties had somehow gotten into a row. One party was a group of young men, and young men tended to be hot–blooded. Unable to get a one–up over a few older ladies, the group tried to resolve the fight with their fists.
The first swing started a chain of reactions. These older ladies were not one to be messed with. They rolled up their sleeves and gave these youngsters a run for their money.
Since both parties were large in numbers, the fight turned out of control. Innocent bystanders were furious to be hit, so they joined the fight.
Everybody watched the fight rather than the show.
Many steered clear to not get involved.
With many trying to get out of the way, there was bound to be pushing and shoving and this further fueled the fight.
The aquarium was in total chaos.
Jessica became more nervous.
It dawned on her that this was the disturbance those people were talking about.
She turned to Sonny.
The York family’s bodyguards escorted Serena, Liberty, and Elisa out of the aquarium during the unrest.
Liberty clung tightly to her son.
Jessica knew the plan would fail when Liberty held Sonny, and the York family’s bodyguards escorted the group out of the aquarium.
“Lucas! Lucas!”
Chelsea’s shrieks snapped Jessica out of her thoughts. A big man grabbed Lucas and made a run for it.
Jessica was dumbfounded.
Did they grab the wrong child?
“Honey! Hank! Go after them! That person took Lucas!”
With no time to watch the fight, Chelsea tried to pursue the man who took Lucas while. calling her husband and brother for help.
Realizing that Lucas was kidnapped, the Browns tried to go in pursuit, but they could not get past the crowd.
“A kidnapper! My child was kidnapped! It’s that tall man there. That’s him! He took my child!”
Chelsea went pale in panic.
Unable to elbow her way through the crowd, she cried out loud.
Hearing a kidnapping was taking place, all the parents, who were here for the show with their kids, stuck with their children and ran out of the aquarium. It only made the situation more chaotic than it already was.
Some kind–hearted people tried to save Chelsea’s son.
The man who had Lucas ran too quickly, and somebody seemed to have paved a way for him to make a quick getaway.
“Serena! Serena! He took Lucas! Please save my Lucas!”
Chelsea squeezed her way into the crowd and screamed at Serena and Liberty when she found them.
No matter their differences, Serena was not going to sit by in a moment of crisis and let a kidnapper take Lucas.
Nevertheless, she did not go ahead and rescue Lucas. Instead, she told the two bodyguards to chase after the man and bring Lucas back.
While the two bodyguards were in pursuit of the kidnapper, Liberty felt a sudden force ripping her son out of her hands.
Acting quickly, Liberty clutched onto her son and refused to let go.
Serena turned back to find someone trying to snatch Sonny from her sister. Without a second thought, she lifted her leg and kicked the man in black to stop him from taking
Sonny.
Elisa joined in to help Liberty protect Sonny.
“Liberty, we should leave now.”
Sensing something amiss about the disturbance, Serena and Elisa shielded Liberty and Sonny as they escaped the scene.
Someone had called the cops because of the commotion at the aquarium.
The security guards of the zoo were the first to arrive.
Not too long later, the nearest police station dispatched its officers.
A few police cars arrived at the scene.
That was the least of Serena’s problems. The only thing on her mind was to get her sister and nephew out of the zoo.
It was a precarious situation to be in.
The Browns screamed and shouted, saying that their child was kidnapped.
The two other bodyguards who were protecting Serena in the shadows showed themselves when Serena, Liberty, and Elisa evacuated from the place. They escorted the adults and child out of there.
Seeing that Mrs. York had two bodyguards in the open and two bodyguards in the dark, the mastermind behind the commotion knew that while the diversion was a success, it was unlikely they could kidnap Sonny now.
Plus, Serena herself was highly skilled in self–defense.
The York family’s bodyguards were around and now the cops were here. The priority was getting out of the zoo as they could no longer carry on with the plan.
Under the protection of the bodyguards, Serena’s group made it safely out of the zoo and into Elisa’s car.
Liberty held onto her son the whole time.
She was afraid to think of the consequences.
Liberty would have lost her son to the kidnapper if she had loosened her grip even by a tiny bit.
