People were coming and going, and the air was filled with the sound of ringing phones and urgent conversations. He made his way inside to the desk officer, carefully holding onto the file he had obtained from Lucas.Suddenly, a man dressed in black bumped into him, causing Rickard to stumble and nearly drop the file. "Hey, watch it!" he exclaimed, but the man simply muttered a quick apology and hurriedly made his way out of the station. Rickard couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off, but he brushed it aside and continued on his way.Approaching the front desk, Rickard caught the attention of one of the officers on duty. "Excuse me," he said, "I need to speak with the chief of police. It's urgent." The officer nodded and picked up the phone to make a call.

As James sat in his office, his phone rang, and he picked it up with a sense of anticipation. The voice on the other end briefed him on the smooth progress of the investigation into the plane crash. However, as the call ended, a wave of anger swept over him. He slammed the phone down on his desk, shattering it into pieces.Frustration and unease gnawed at him as he contemplated the situation. He knew that as the sole remaining child of late Master Bryan, he would inevitably be drawn into the investigations. His mind raced with thoughts of the potential consequences and the impact it could have on his family's reputation.In a fit of rage, he stood up and shouted, his voice echoing through the room. With a swift motion, he swept a flower vase off the nearby table, sending it crashing to the floor.

Lucas sat at the head of the conference room table, his mind still preoccupied with the events from the previous day. As the other executive members took their seats, he did his best to focus on the task at hand – strategizing for the future of the company."Good morning, everyone," Lucas began, trying to project an air of calm and confidence. "I appreciate you all being here today. As we all know, we've faced some challenges in the past weeks, but I believe we can navigate through them and come out stronger."The other executives nodded in agreement, and one of them, Sarah, spoke up.

James arrived at the home of the pilot and his wife. He knocked on the door, his heart pounding with anticipation. The pilot answered, a look of confusion on his face as he greeted James. "Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson," James said, his voice smooth and controlled. "I'm here to discuss something very important with you." The couple exchanged a wary glance but invited James inside, leading him to a small, dimly lit room in the back of the house. James noticed the nervous tension in the air as they sat down, and he couldn't help but relish the power he held over them. "Let's get straight to the point," James began, fixing them with a steely gaze. "I know about the airplane crash all those years ago, and I know that you were involved. I have evidence that could ruin your lives if it were to be made public." The couple paled, their eyes widening in fear. Mrs. Thompson reached for her husband's hand, her voice trembling as she spoke. "We've moved on from that, Mr. Bryan. Please
