As they stepped back into the mansion, Mr. Evans could not hide his frustration. He turned to Ryan and raised his voice, "Do you have any idea how dangerous it is out there? The streets are unforgiving, and you're playing with fire!"Ryan wanted to share his concerns about the person who had been following him. With the state Evans was, adding that might do nothing but fuel the anger. He rather kept it to himself. Ryan felt a mix of guilt and confusion. "I'm sorry, Mr. Evans. I just wanted to go for a short walk, to feel a little more...normal."Mr. Evans sighed deeply, his anger starting to subside. "I understand that Ryan, but you need to trust me when I say that it's not safe for you to be out there yet. We're working on a plan to ensure your safety, but you must be patient."Feeling chastened, Ryan nodded. "I get it, Mr. Evans. I'll stay inside. I don't want to cause you any more trouble."Mr. Evans softened his tone. "Thank you, Ryan. I know it's hard, but we're doing everything

As Viper and Shadow continued to strategize inside the car, they decided to wait until darkness blanketed the area. The cover of the night would offer them more protection from potential security measures. Viper grinned. "I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. I always carry lock-picking tools, just in case." Shadow raised an eyebrow. "You're full of surprises, Viper. Let's hope we won't need to use them, but it's good to have a backup plan." “Let’s just keep waiting for the dark.” Inside the mansion, Ryan had been contemplating whether or not to open up to Mr. Evans about the unsettling events from earlier that day. He decided it was time to share his concerns. "Mr. Evans," Ryan began, his voice hesitant. "I need to tell you something that happened today." Mr. Evans turned his attention to Ryan, concern etched across his face. "Of course, Ryan. You can talk to me about anything." Ryan took a deep breath. "When I went out today, I bumped into a lady with her child, and it was stran

The moment Turner called out "Ryan," it was as if a switch had been flipped. Ryan's instincts kicked in, and without a second thought, he moved swiftly, darting behind Mr. Evans. The security personnel, trained to react instantly, formed a protective shield around Ryan and the mysterious figure that sought refuge behind him.With Ryan now concealed, Turner tried to introduce himself, but the initial confusion subsided when Mr. Evans took a closer look at the man who had appeared out of the blue. Recognition dawned on him, and he gestured for Turner to join him in a quiet corner.Amid the hushed conversations, Mr. Evans disclosed the unfortunate truth to Turner. Ryan had lost his memory during his healing process, a revelation that weighed heavily on both of them. The reason for Ryan's sudden disappearance now made sense to Turner. Turner felt a pang of sadness, understanding the ordeal his old friend had been through. As Mr. Evans spoke, Turner shared what he had overheard at the c

Shadows remained silently observant, his allegiance swaying between the various arguments. The room was divided, and the decision to be made would have a profound impact on Ryan's fate.But it was Turner who still stood apart, his unwavering conviction in stark contrast to the other voices. "Like I said before I won't be a part of this and I won't let you harm Ryan. Unless I’m not aware of the plan at hand."Smith knew that convincing them to see Ryan as a threat, as he did, would be a tough challenge."This isn't personal," Mr. Smith argued, his voice tinged with desperation. "It's about preserving our futures. Ryan is a time bomb, and I won't let him destroy everything we've worked for. If you stand in my way, you'll all pay the price."Turner stood there, his presence a silent protest amid discord. “Pay the price?” Turner asked as though his ears were deceiving him. “You heard me right, Mr. Turner. I don’t mind clearing anyone that says on my way to get what I want.” Smith said f

Turner who had been following up every move pulled up to the mansion, and his heart raced. The sight of the ajar gate and unconscious security personnel sent alarm bells ringing in his mind. He knew something was amiss. He hurriedly parked his car and approached the fallen security guard.He gently shook her, attempting to revive her. "Hey, wake up," he urged.As she regained consciousness, groggy and disoriented, the shocker device concealed in her pocket delivered an unexpected jolt. She gasped and inadvertently pressed the button, unleashing a jolt of electricity into Turner's hand."Whoa! What was that?" Turner exclaimed, the shock still coursing through his body.The security guard, now fully awake, realized her mistake and quickly turned off the device. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were an intruder."Turner winced as he recovered from the shock. "No worries, that thing packs a punch," he muttered, rubbing his tingling hand.The security guard, her pulse returning to normal, sc
