Mrs Juliet Marcus's voice was laced with a mixture of anger and determination as she stared at Mr Eliot.“I’ve got cams tracking you now—no more running.”You’re lucky General Carl Gerald didn’t break your jaw.”Mr Eliot struggled against Detective Steve’s grip, his voice rising with panic. “You don’t understand! If Lara Peterson, Nurse Sabrina, Nurse Angela and Doctor Marvin know I talked, Martinez is dead! You’ve gotta let me go!”General Carl Gerald immediately grabbed Mr Eliot’s shirt, pulling him close, his voice low and dangerous. “You don’t get to make demands, Mr Eliot. You betrayed us, spied on us, and now you’re running? I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”Mr Eliot, his defiance flaring, lunged at General Carl Gerald, his cuffed hands swinging wildly. “Screw you, General Carl Gerald! You’re all dead when Lara Peterson's done with you!”The team shouted in unison, “Stay down, Mr Eliot!” but he didn’t listen. He threw himself at General Carl Gerald, his shoulder slamming in

Doctor Marvin, Nurse Sabrina, Nurse Angela and Lara Peterson all raised imaginary glasses, toasting their success. The conversation flowed easily, like old friends recounting a fun night out instead of a major heist.Nurse Angela leaned forward. “What about the other patients? We left them scrambling, but Debra Zachs was the prize.”“Easy adoption—fake papers saying she was being transferred to a new facility. They won't know she's with us until it's too late.” Nurse Angela's voice was laced with a mixture of happiness and success for their mission.Nurse Sabrina giggled. “And the destruction? I loved setting those charges. Boom! Lights out for their secret health unit.”Doctor Marvin smirked. “It was all too easy. Those elite divisions aren't as elite as they think.”“One mole like me, and the whole thing falls apart.” Doctor Marvin added as he laughed out.Lara Peterson agreed. “That'll teach Carl Gerald. He's probably tearing his hair out right now, wondering how we pulled it off.”

Debra Zachs, despite the pain in her jaw, let out a low chuckle from her corner. “You’re all falling apart already. Look at you, panicking like rats in a trap. General Carl Gerald’s probably closing in as we speak.”“I told you, all of you would definitely be paying the price for your insolence soon!”“This is just the beginning of your pain, all of you will wish you hadn't adopted me after General Carl Gerald is done with all of you posers!” Debra Zachs said her voice was laced with a mixture of anger and venom.“Shut up!” Lara Peterson immediately snapped, storming over to Debra Zachs.She raised her hand as if to strike again but stopped herself, breathing heavily.“You don’t get to talk. Not after what you and your precious General did to Clyde Lex.”Debra Zachs eyes narrowed, her voice steady despite the blood on her lip. “Clyde Lex was a thug, just like his father. General Carl Gerald did what he had to do.”“Clyde Lex had his sister, Sara Gerald adopted and sent his stupid go

The situation was intense and palpable, before anyone could respond, Lord Lex’s phone buzzed in his pocket.He pulled it out, glanced at the screen, and his expression shifted—something between irritation and urgency. “It’s Mr Jasper,” he said curtly. “One of my allies. I need to take this.” His voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and inconvenience.He stepped away, speaking in low tones into the phone. The others watched him, their faces were etched in bewilderment and curiosity.Martinez’s muffled sobs and the steady ticking of the bomb filled the silence. Debra Zachs stared at Lord Lex, her mind clearly working despite her restraints.After a brief conversation, Lord Lex hung up and turned back to the group. “I have to go. Something’s come up at the mansion.”“Mr Jasper says there’s movement—could be Carl Gerald’s men, could be something else. I’m not waiting to find out.”Lara Peterson's eyes widened. “You’re leaving? Now? We’re in the middle of—”“I’m not asking for permi

“General Carl Gerald, Lara Peterson may seem like an easy bite, but I can assure you…” “She’s tough, General Carl Gerald. She’s not going to back down, and she’s got Nurse Angela, Nurse Sabrina, and Doctor Marvin backing her up.”“They’re all in deep, and they’re scared of you. That makes them dangerous.”“Dangerous?” Detective Steve scoffed, pushing off the tree and walking closer. “They’re a bunch of cornered rats. Lara Peterson might talk a big game, but she’s no match for any one of us!”“The problem is that bomb. If it’s real, we can’t just storm the place without a plan to neutralize it.”“Speaking of which, we don't even know what class of explosives we are dealing with here!” Detective Steve immediately added, his voice was laced with a mixture of confusion and inconvenience.Mrs. Juliet Marcus nodded, her eyes narrowing. “He’s right. The bomb changes everything. We need to know its location, its type, and how much time we have.”“Mr Eliot, you said you heard them talking ab
