Chapter 031- A Face-off At The Motel"Hey big man," he called out, "We're looking for a guy named Thomas. We heard he might be around here."The thug sneered, taking a slow drag from his cigarette. "Yeah, he's the boss here. Why should I help you? What’s in it for me?"Logan, catching the hint, pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills and flashed them. "We’re willing to give you more.''The thug's eyes widened with greed at the sight of the cash. He shot a furtive glance at his companions before focusing back on Cody. "Alright, I might know where he is. But it's going to cost you more if you're looking to find him quickly."Logan nodded resolutely and handed over the money. "Just tell us where we can find him."With a sly smirk, the thug pocketed the cash and pointed toward a dingy room at the far end of the motel. "He's in there. But be careful, he's not exactly the friendly type.""Thanks, we know." Cody said, shooting a determined look at Logan and Rowe. "Let's go.''The trio navigate

Chapter 033- The Gun Offer
The Gun OfferLogan leaned forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. "The president's son."Thomas couldn't believe it when he heard Logan mention the President's son. He quickly glanced around to make sure no one was listening. "Mr. Wendell?" Thomas repeated, feeling a bit anxious.''Yes, Wendell. He kidnapped my mother and I need to rescue her then I need to teach him a lesson.''''Huh?'' Thomas scoffed. ''Don’t be fooled, Logan. You don't have the mind to confront Mr Wendell, k!lling people is nothing to him.''"Unfortunately, he's not going to k!ll us," Cody chimed in."I feel sorry for all of you. There's no way you can touch Mr. Wendell. You'll just have to leave him to God, if he's up there," Thomas declared, making it clear to them."All we need is for you to sneak us in without raising any suspicion. You're well-known in those areas, so it won't seem out of the ordinary for you to be there," Logan insisted."Just because I'm well-known, does that mean I have to put my life o

Chapter 034- Compliance at Gun Point "No, you don't need to go anywhere. Get Eliza out of the trunk. She's our bait," Logan ordered."No, she's not our bait, Young Master. Are you seriously willing to put her life in danger?" Rowe challenged, locking eyes with Logan, who shot back a defiant stare."I couldn't care less, Cody.

"She's dead!" he gasped.Logan and Cody rushed to join him by the trunk."Is she really dead?" Logan fretted, but Cody pushed past him."Let me check. We can't jump to conclusions," Cody said, hovering over the motionless figure and holding his finger close to her nose."She's still breathing... completely normal," Cody announced with relief.

Chapter 035- Logan meets Wendell ''The same way I've been killing unwise people like you both for more than a decade.'’The atmosphere suddenly tensed as Logan and Eliza whipped around, startled to find a mysterious figure standing at the entrance. The stranger, dressed in a striking red suit and black sunglasses, held a gun in his hand, casting a menacing shadow in the dimly lit room."Who are you?"

Chapter 036- Yvonne to the rescue
Chapter 036- Yvonne to the rescue Logan's wide grin faded as he asked with a hint of skepticism, "So, what's this little test all about? Are we back in college or something?’’ "Wait, This one's supposed to be simple. Simple compared to what? a rocket science exam!" Wendell sneered as he casually tossed a small, menacing-looking device at Logan's feet. Logan froze, eyeing the device warily but making no move to pick it up. "Why don't you pick it up, kid? Scared it'll bite you?" Wendell taunted. Logan's frustration boiled over. "How does this thing have anything to do with getting my mother back and letting me go? What am I supposed to do with a device that looks like a Nokia from the 90s?" "Haha, did you just call it a Nokia? Oh boy," Wendell chuckled. "It's a bomb defuser device, not some antique phone keypad." Logan's eyes widened in horror. "A bomb defuser? What the hell?" "That's right, son. There's a bomb ticking away in the old warehouse down the street. You defuse

Chapter 037- Tick, Tick, ClickYvonne's expression was serious yet not unkind. "Let's just say I'm just doing my job. I need to focus on driving. Hold off on the questions for now.''The car fell into an uneasy silence as Logan's words hung heavy in the air. Yvonne, focused on the road, could feel the weight of his grief permeating the space between them."They killed my friends," he muttered, the pain evident in his voice. "Your husband has put me in trouble, ma'am. I don't even know their families. They'll be devastated when they hear the news."Yvonne's lips curled into a sneer, and her gaze remained fixed on the road ahead. "There's apparently nothing we can do. Your friends are gone, and their families have no choice but to bear the burden. It's up to us to keep your mother alive," she stated coolly.As Logan marveled at her resilience, he couldn't help but think, "If there's a woman of steel out there, it's her."Caught off guard by Yvonne's piercing gaze, Logan quickly averted

"I just wish my mommy and daddy would stop fighting every time and listen to you.''With Logan's attention diverted, the man made a quick move and snatched the whip from him, his eye sockets enlarging with anger as he twisted the whip’s tip, ready to strike anyone who tried to stop him from beating up his wife.''You nothing but an income-devouring sickler.''
