Halsey looked at the motorcycle .
Thinking she was unsure , Dwight explained , “ The motorcycle is faster . No traffic to deal with . ”
Halsey flashed him a playful smile . “ This bike is so cool ! I’ve never ridden one before . ”
Dwight had assumed that someone like Halsey , used to luxury cars , wouldn’t be interested in a motorcycle , but it seemed he had been wrong .
He quickly put on his helmet , then urged her , “ Hurry up and get on . ”
Halsey swiftly placed the helmet on her head . Time was critical now ; they had to save Wendy .
“ Ready ? ” Dwight asked .
She nodded , and Dwight effortlessly swung his long legs over the bike , tossing his black jacket to her . “ Put this on . It’s cold on a bike . ”
Halsey felt a warmth spread in her chest as she caught the jacket and slipped it on . She climbed onto the back of the motorcycle , settling herself behind Dwight ..
Dwight twisted the throttle , and the bike roared to life , speeding off with a rush .
It was Halsey’s first time on a motorcycle , and she gripped Dwight’s waist tightly with both hands , her body pressed against him like a small koala .
“ How did you figure out which hospital they went to ? ” she asked , her curiosity evident as she leaned in close behind him .
Dwight responded , his voice calm , “ I saw the club they used . It was made in Cruiseland . The kidnappers were probably hired by someone with a lot of money . Of the three shady hospitals in Hovendale , the most powerful one is likely their first choice . ”
Halsey’s admiration for Dwight grew with every word . It seemed like there was nothing he couldn’t figure out .
She grinned . “ You’re amazing . ”
She clung to him , still in awe of his sharp mind . Dwight’s lips curled up slightly in a half – smile .
But then , as he felt her body press even closer to his , he became aware of just how tightly she was holding on , especially with her soft curves pressing against him . It almost felt like she was molding herself into him .
Trying to stay composed , Dwight subtly shifted forward in an attempt to put some distance between them .
However , the moment he moved , Halsey stuck to him even more , her grip tightening . She felt safer this way .
“ Don’t move , Dwight . I want to stay close to you , or I’ll be scared , ” she murmured .
Dwight remained still , not wanting to argue .
As the night worean , the modified motorcycle weaved through the bustling city streets , the young man and woman on it becoming the most eye – catching sight in the crowd .
Soon , the motorcycle pulled up in front of a hospital . Dwight dismounted and said , “ Let’s
go . ”
Halsey took off her helmet and , eager to get off the bike , tried to climb down . But the motorcycle was too high for her . She spread her arms wide . “ Help me down ! ”

Dwight gave her a quick look before reaching up to support er under the arms , lifting her down gently .
With his eyes on the ground , he muttered , “ Let’s hurry inside . ”
“ Okay , ” Halsey responded , her voice eager .
She quickly ran alongside Dwight , her small hand reaching for his . Her delicate fingers wrapped around his , and Dwight paused for a moment , surprised by the warmth and firmness of her grip . He instinctively wanted to pull
away .
But Halsey’s hand tightened , refusing to let go .
Dwight gave up , focusing on finding Wendy as quickly as possible .
When they reached the door to the operating room , Dwight noticed a few tough – looking men dressed in black standing guard .
The men stood alert and immediately saw Dwight , rising to their feet .
“ Who are you ? ” one of them demanded .
Halsey’s eyes lit up with recognition . “ We’re in the right place . These must be the ones who kidnapped Wendy ! She’s definitely inside the operating room , ”
One of the men in black sneered . “ This isn’t any of your business . Get out of here , and maybe we’ll let you live . ”
