After successfully stacking the final crates, Newton and Grinch felt an urgency to leave the warehouse without any further delay. They couldn't afford to linger, considering the fabricated urgency they had created about Grinch's mother's condition to deceive Zach.

Grinch headed towards the gleaming parked Koenigsegg, but Newton quickly called him back, realizing the potential risk it posed to their cover.

"You shouldn't be seen near that car, Grinch," Newton whispered, his voice laced with concern. "If anyone spots us together, it could raise suspicions. We need to maintain the illusion that we're just regular workers."

Grinch, after a moment of contemplation, nodded in agreement. "You're right, boss," he acknowledged. "I'll take a taxi home instead. It's better to be cautious."

Newton nodded approvingly, appreciating Grinch's understanding. Grinch then voiced another question, expressing his concern about leaving the car behind.

"Do you plan to leave the car parked here?" Grinch inqui

Newton, parked nearby, observed the van's arrival and waited for a few minutes before cautiously driving into the close. He parked his car discreetly by the fence, ensuring it remained inconspicuous.Feeling the weight of the task ahead, Newton took a deep breath to steady his nerves.

He straightened his shirt and wore a serious expression, ready to face whatever awaited him on the other side.

Curiosity piqued, Newton made his way toward them, eager to understand the cause of the commotion.Peering over their shoulders, Newton discovered Grinch at the center, passionately addressing the group. His words were inaudible at first, but as Newton leaned closer, he caught snippets of the conversation."I've been trying to reach the boss since we left Grove Street, but he hasn't answered or returned any of my calls," Grinch exclaimed, frustration evident in his voice. "None of the men around have any positive information about his whereabouts."A sudden realization hit Newton as he glanced at his phone, noticing the overwhelming number of missed calls.

Rubbing his eyes, he glanced at his wristwatch, noting that it was already 8:30 am. Realizing the urgency of the day's tasks, he dialed Grinch's number"Grinch, please bring the bag along by 9 am. We have important work to complete at the restaurant today," Newton requestedOn the other end of the line, Grinch acknowledged the request. "You can count on me, Boss. I'll be there with the bag before 9 am"Satisfied with the response, Newton let the phone drop onto the sofa beside him. He let out a weary sig

Just a few words and a charming smile."Zach, standing nearby, couldn't help but join in with a grin. "That's how he is, Boss. Even his friend, Darmian, is similar."Mrs. Elizabeth's makeup was pronounced, her lips adorned with a vibrant red hue, and her face covered with a layer of white powder and other cosmetics.

The anticipation hung in the air, mingling with a sense of urgency."Now, we wait for Zach to give us the final instruction before making our move," Newton stated, his voice steady as they neared the designated spot. The drums had been dropped in front of the secret office, serving as a tangible reminder of the mysteries that lay behind its closed doors.Minutes ticked by, and yet there was no sign of Zach. Newton glanced at his watch, weighing the options before them. The minutes turned into a decision. "You know what, Grinch? If we had entered ten minutes ago, we'd have been out by now. Zach may not come," he suggested, his eyes fixed on the door, his mind racing with possibilities.As their conversation unfolded, Zach appeared at the far entrance of t

It was Drax, the man who had caused Newton so much pain and loss."Grinch, you fool. I knew you were up to no good the moment I laid my eyes on you," Drax's gruff voice boomed through the room, his gaze fixed on the trio of traitors.Confusion filled the air as Grinch questioned Drax, "What's going on, Drax? I thought you hated Mr. Norton too."Drax let out a booming laugh, finding Grinch's statement absurd. "Hate? How could I hate my Father? That man gave me a life I never had. Even you, he provided for you, but look at what you've become. You've fallen so far."Newton's mind reeled, the revelation turning his world upside down. "You killed my father, you devil! What are

"There goes their precious secured door," he remarked, his voice laced with a hint of satisfaction.As they entered the room, Newton's gaze shifted upward, only to find a void where the roof and air vent had once been.

"I could have advised that we stay a bit longer and see who wins. Then we could annihilate the winning side since they would have been weakened."Newton shook his head, his voice resolute. "No. Instruct the men to turn around, Grinch. We're heading back!"Just as Newton spoke those words, Arturo emerged from the chaos, boldly walking toward Newton's side, showing no concern for the gunfire erupting around him from the Bagwells' side."Look at that devil!" Grinch yelled, unable to contain his anger and frustration. Before Newton could react, Grinch extended his gun from the window and fired at Arturo. The shot hit Arturo's chest, but it seemed to have little effect on him. With a wicked grin, Arturo retaliated, releasing a hail of bullets toward Newton's entourage, drawing other Beanies into the firefight.Duc

Grinch couldn't contain his enthusiasm and quickly stood up from the sofa to join Newton."Guess what I've found, Grinch?" Newton asked, a wide grin spreading across his face.Grinch gasped in anticipation, his eyes widening. "Is that what I think it is?" He leaned closer to examine the key. "It's a key to the box?" he exclaimed, barely containing his excitement.Newton nodded, his smile growing even broader. "Wills never lies. He was right to trust Mr. Anon.
