Andrew made sure that the kids were set up with snacks and that all of their gifts were tucked away in a room that they wouldn't look in before he went upstairs, kissed Maxwell on his forehead and headed out. He did try to wake the man up again, but Maxwell just wouldn't have it.
Andrew made sure that he left a note beside the bed, right beside his phone. If Maxwell still woke up with fear and worry, he hoped that he would call him right away. That way, he would see the note, see what Andrew was up to, and know that he was safe.
He just…had something he had to do.
Andrew strapped into the car, opened the garage door and took a deep breath in and out before he began to reverse out. The car of the security team was at the end of the driveway, obvious but not something that Andrew gave a shit about. Andrew waved at the crew sitting inside, got a wave back before he turned, got onto the road, and called Kim.
