At that moment, Jefferson's father immediately nodded his head obediently like a chastised child who had just been scolded by a stern parent, bowing slightly toward his father in a gesture of respect and submission that showed he understood the gravity of what had just been said to him.

“I promise you, Father, that I am not going to disappoint you anymore,”he said, his voice firm despite the humiliation burning in his chest.

“Yes, I know that I have been disappointing you over the years, that

    Wouldn't his father potentially be extremely mad at him for not allowing him to orchestrate this kidnapping in the proper, careful way he had been planning, for creating a rushed and potentially sloppy situation that could leave evidence or witnesses or other complications?What exactly was he supposed to do in this impossible situation where both action and inaction seemed to carry significant risks?His hand tightened around the phone as the seconds ticked by with agonizing slowness while the man on the other end waited for instructions.Should he just give the definitive go-ahead right now for them to move in immediately and kidnap Malisa while this golden opportunity was presenting itself, while she was vulnerable and alone and available?At that moment, as the tension and urgency of the situation continued to build with every passing second, the person on the phone spoke up again with clear impatience in their voice, knowing that opportunities like this one could disappear in an

    At that moment, the person on the other end of the line responded with a careful, measured tone that indicated he was fully aware of the delicate situation he had just walked into by calling at this particular time.“Well, I didn't come here to make any sort of gesture at you or to pile on more problems to whatever you are clearly dealing with right now,” the voice said diplomatically, trying to navigate around Jefferson's father's obvious bad mood. “And it definitely seems from your tone that you are having an extremely bad day, one of those days where everything seems to be going wrong all at once, and I certainly have no intention of adding to your stress or making your bad day even worse than it already is.”The person paused briefly before getting to the actual point of the urgent call.“But despite the timing being less than ideal, I need you to understand that I have something extremely important to talk to you about right now, something that cannot wait until tomorrow or even

    At that moment, after the phone call had been dropped and the dangerous deal had been sealed between two men whose agreement existed entirely outside the boundaries of law and human decency, Jefferson's father stood alone in the quiet hallway and allowed himself a brief moment of cold, hard reflection about the path he had just committed himself to walking without any possibility of turning back.He thought to himself with grim and unwavering resolve that well, sometimes a man simply needs to play dirty to survive in this world, that sometimes the polite rules and moral boundaries that ordinary civilized society expects people to follow become completely irrelevant luxuries when everything you have ever worked for and everything you believe you are entitled to by birthright is being threatened simultaneously by forces both inside and outside your own family.The question that burned most intensely in the back of his mind was devastatingly simple yet absolutely critical in its implicat

    At that moment, as Jefferson's father continued speaking with determination and urgency into the phone, the man on the other end of the line responded with the confident, measured tone of someone who had done this kind of dangerous work many times before and knew exactly what he was getting himself into."Well, you have absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to my capabilities or my discretion," the man said smoothly, his voice carrying the self-assurance of a professional who took pride in his dark craft. "You know me very well by now, and you know exactly what I am capable of doing when properly motivated and given clear instructions."There was a slight pause before he continued with even more emphasis."And you should also know by now that I will not treat this assignment like some kind of game or joke, and I certainly will not allow myself to get caught or fucked up over any operation I undertake, because my reputation and my freedom depend on maintaining the highest lev

    And at that moment, without wasting another second standing there in that empty hallway dwelling on his anger and frustration, Jefferson's father reached into his jacket pocket and brought out his phone with quick, decisive movements that showed he had already made up his mind about what needed to be done next. His fingers moved swiftly across the screen as he scrolled through his contacts until he found one of his most carefully hidden numbers, a contact that was buried deep in his phone under a fake name that would mean nothing to anyone who might accidentally see it.This was not the kind of call he made lightly or frequently, not the kind of person he contacted unless the situation was truly desperate and required the kind of help that operated completely outside the bounds of law and morality.He pressed the call button and held the phone to his ear, listening as it rang once with that familiar electronic tone, then twice, the sound echoing slightly in the quiet hallway around h
