"This way, sir," the security man said. He had gestured for them to enter through the front door and stepped out of their way, but his hands were still shaking as he directed them inside, his face full of confusion and uncertainty about what could happen next.Ethan and Diego stepped into the building. Diego looked around quickly, and within moments he had worked out the layout and where each corridor was likely to turn."Let's go," Diego said, and they moved through the corridors.It was impossible for their presence not to stir up curiosity, confusion and caution among the staff who watched them pass.But nobody dared stop them. Diego's instincts did the rest. He read the doors, the signage and the direction people were hurrying in, and picked out the meeting room from the way the staff were running helter skelter around it, the only floor in the building where everybody looked like they were trying to avoid something. In the chaos, that was all the map he needed.Within no time th

The man didn't want to talk, so Diego reached across the table, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him over it until he was nearly nose to nose with them."If you don't answer now, I'm going to make sure your punishment keeps piling up on top of itself until you regret not saying it the first time we asked," Diego said.The man gulped, then managed a crooked, weird little smile, because he knew he was in trouble either way."Well, I guess there's no point hiding it now, since you won't be able to reach him anyway," he said. "I referred him to our partner on Harmon Street, in the Westbrook district."Diego's eyes widened in realization, and Ethan caught it immediately."How far is that?" Ethan asked, though he didn't aim the question at either Diego or the other man."Twenty eight kilometers," Diego said, his eyes narrowing in annoyance. "Clear across the city.""It's far enough that you still won't make it in time!" the man crowed. "Ha! I win!"Diego lost his patience right there a

The drive through to Ford logistics was a couple of minutes long.And what caught Ethan's attention was the fact that Diego's driving skills were easily one of the best experiences he had had in a car.Particularly how he maneuvered through cars and other buildings made it seem as if to say the road was just for them. Getting towards the entrance gates, Ethan could already see angry men positioned outside with mean expressions on their faces.“You can stop here,” Ethan said, and Diego picked a spot in the parking lot close by.Afterwards they approached the entrance together."What do you want in this place?" One of the men standing in front said.From his expression Ethan was clear that he was not going to wait for any second answer or contrary answers to what he was expecting before the man was going to lash out. Even then Ethan didn't care. "I've come for the clients you've had sitting in your grip," Ethan said. "If you know what is good for you, it's better that you step aside

Ethan had woken up the next morning already expecting a long day ahead.He'd planned to head straight to the company, but he'd told Diego they'd meet first, somewhere quiet near Delta Logistics, to talk things through before anything else.He settled into a seat at the small café on the corner, not bothering to order anything since he anticipates their conversation will be short because he'd go straight to the point.A few of the regulars glanced his way more than once, clearly curious to see someone just sit there scanning the street like he was waiting on something important. Ethan ignored them. He wasn't in the mood to stir up trouble over nothing.A low rumble pulled his attention toward the road, and a ford jeep rolled into view. Ethan didn't need anyone to tell him Diego had arrived.The car pulled to a stop nearby, and Diego climbed out a moment later, dressed in a dark olive green top and a pair of trousers cut close to military issue without quite having the same pattern with

"Uhm, good evening, sir," the nurse said, still adjusting the drip bag feeding into Jenna's IV line."Good evening, I'm here to see my sister," Ethan said."Okay, sir," the nurse said, regaining her composure. "I didn't know we were expecting any visitors, that's why I was startled when you came in.""I understand," Ethan said."Well, it looks like she's still asleep, so I think it would be better if you came back another time, when she's awake, so she can actually—" the nurse didn't get to finish."Big brother?" Jenna's voice cut in weakly from the bed. She hadn't been as asleep as the nurse assumed, and the moment she recognized Ethan's voice, her eyes fluttered open, turning toward him so they could finally talk properly."Oh," the nurse said, surprised to see Jenna had woken up at the sound of Ethan's voice."I guess now that she's awake, I can have my visit and then go," Ethan said.The nurse scrambled for a response but ultimately just stepped aside, letting him pass while she b

"Look what I've done?" Ethan said. "You're the one who tried yanking the balloon out of my hand, even though you knew I had it firmly in my grip.""None of this would've happened if you'd just given me my balloon back instead of dragging my own property out of my hands, you thief," the seller snapped, his voice rising loud enough to draw the attention of several onlookers nearby."I wasn't trying to steal anything from you. I was trying to buy it honestly. You're the one who refused to listen," Ethan said."Oh, really? And how exactly do you plan to do that?" the seller asked, looking Ethan up and down with open suspicion. "People like you just carry the balloon over to the other side of the street and just disappear with it. I've seen that trick before, and I won't be fooled by it again, especially not by someone dressed the way you are."Ethan followed the man's gaze and understood immediately. The seller had already decided, purely off his casual clothes and empty pockets, that he
