"Damn... Those fools killed more good men," Mr. Lee cursed, his voice filled with anger and frustration.

"I had eight good men in those two cars!" he yelled, his tone laced with fury.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Newton realized why the Grinch had emphasized the need to leave quickly after rescuing Drax. It became evident that bombs had been planted on the very SUVs they were riding in.

"You have failed, Norton. You will do more than light a small fire to get to me," Mr. Lee sneered, his voice dripping with contempt.

"This was your father's plan? I give you your friend, then you try to kill me? You can't outwit a fox. I am one step ahead of that fool," he boasted, a smug grin spreading across his face.

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.
