Logan's heart raced as the taxi came to a halt in front of the address provided by Carter. He paid the driver, who offered one more piece of advice about getting his injury checked, but Logan was on a mission and brushed it off.With Carter's SIM card now in his phone, Logan dialed the number of the guy who monitored the tracker. "Hello," Logan began. "I'm at the old warehouse, where are you at?" In response, Carter's guy told him to wait that he'd be out soon, directing Logan as he headed outside. Logan followed the directions provided by the voice on the other end of the call, leading him inside a large building.As he climbed the stairs, Logan's thoughts raced. He couldn't shake the fear that Carter had somehow broken free and called this muscular guy to deal with him. The intense atmosphere weighed on him, and when the guy noticed Logan's anxious demeanor, he inquired more than once about what was bothering him. Logan brushed it off, claiming it was nothing.Finally, they reached
Logan hurried towards a nearby parking lot, his mind racing with the newfound information he had obtained. He needed to get to the last known location where his former boss and Carter's car had been recorded, but before he could hail a cab, his phone began to ring.He picked up the call, his voice calm and collected as he greeted, "Hello?"On the other end of the line, a matured man's voice seethed with anger. "You're Logan, right? How could you walk into my house and do that to my son?"Logan's heart skipped a beat as he recognized the voice. It was Carter's dad, and he was fuming. The threat in the man's tone was clear, as he vowed to lock Logan up and deal with him both legally and illegally.Realization washed over Logan, and he cursed himself for not removing Carter's SIM card sooner. In a moment of quick thinking, he cut the call abruptly, grateful that he hadn't revealed any more information.With a sigh of relief, Logan decided to change his route. He found a different car and
Logan's senses slowly returned as he found himself in a cold, dark room. The atmosphere was heavy, and the surroundings felt like a basement, with the faint scent of dampness in the air. Panic seized him as he realized he was bound to a chair, his arms and legs securely tied. He struggled, pulling against the tight restraints, but the ropes held fast.A mocking voice sliced through the darkness. "You shouldn't bother, Logan. Those ropes are designed to withstand far more struggle than you can muster."The words sent a chill down Logan's spine, and he craned his neck to see the source of the voice. The basement light bulb flickered to life, revealing his former boss, Mr. Williams, standing before him, a malicious grin etched across his face. Beside Mr. Williams stood a hulking stranger, an imposing figure who appeared to be his bodyguard.Laughter echoed through the grim room as Mr. Williams leaned in closer to Logan. "You thought you could find me, didn't you, Logan? You thought you c
As Logan emerged from the fiery basement into the building's first floor, he found himself in a living nightmare. Smoke and flames consumed the hallway in both directions, cutting off any easy escape. The acrid odor of burning wood and chemicals filled the air, choking him as he gasped for breath. Panic surged through him as he realized that his path to the front door was blocked by an inferno.Desperation drove him to the back of the house, and with each step, the fire crept closer. He reached a room with a window, its glass panes already starting to crack from the heat. Without hesitation, Logan smashed the window with his elbow, sending shards of glass tinkling to the ground outside. The escape route was within reach, but as he jumped through the window, the fire followed him.There was a deafening explosion as the room ignited, a searing burst of flames that sent Logan flying through the air. The blast singed his clothes and burned his skin, but fate was on his side. He landed wit
Logan had been simmering with anger ever since he watched the news about his former boss, Mr. Williams, turning himself in at the police station. His frustration reached a boiling point, and he couldn't contain his temper any longer. The need for justice consumed him, and he decided to take matters into his own hands.With a determined look on his face, he retrieved his phone and dialed the number he had found for the original owner of the canteen, Mr. Peterson. The phone rang, and a female voice answered, "Hello, who is this?"Logan wasted no time and replied urgently, "I have urgent information for Mr. Peterson. It's about your former employee, Mr. Williams."The voice on the other end hesitated for a moment, then said, "Hold on, please. I'll see if Mr. Peterson is available."Logan tapped his fingers impatiently as he waited for the main owner to come on the line. He had no intention of waiting for too long, given the urgency of the situation. Finally, a man's voice came through t
As they stood outside, away from prying eyes, Daniel pressed Logan for an explanation.Logan hesitated but decided to reveal part of the truth. "My former boss has been sending people to hassle me since he returned. He even tasked me with paying him for the damage to the store. It's been a nightmare, Danny."Daniel's eyes widened in shock. "Why didn't you tell anyone about this, Logan? We could have helped you deal with this mess."Logan shrugged, a hint of shame in his voice. "Those guys who damaged the store that day mentioned my name. I thought I could handle it myself, but it's spiraled out of control."Daniel's concern for his friend was evident. "Look, Logan, you don't have to go through this alone. We're in this together, okay? How much does he want, and how can we resolve this?"Logan sighed with relief, touched by Daniel's support. "He's asking for a substantial amount monthly, but I would handle it."Daniel patted Logan on the back. "Then we'll split the cost, my friend. We'
As the new day dawned, Logan was determined to take action. He had an important message to deliver to the main owner of the canteen, and he couldn't afford to waste any time. With the precious evidence he had gathered, Logan understood that he needed to act swiftly.First, he decided to call the main owner from a payphone, not wanting to risk exposing his own number. He dialed the number and waited anxiously as it rang. When the owner answered, he could sense the suspicion in the man's voice."Hello, who is this?" In response, Logan tried to brush off the man's question by responding, "who i am doesn't matter..." But before he could conclude the sentence, Mr Peterson interupted abstruptly, "and how do you expect me to trust you if you won't tell me who you are?" He demanded, clearly still wary from the previous day's call.Logan didn't waste any time and got straight to the point. "I don't have the luxury of time for introductions. What you need to know is that your life is in danger.
Logan had returned from the bathroom, resolved and determined to protect the main owner and acquire the canteen. He knew that he had to face this dangerous journey alone, relying on his resourcefulness and wit. As he reentered the hallway, his senses sharpened, and he became acutely aware of the silence in the house. An eerie stillness seemed to have settled.The feeling that something was amiss gnawed at Logan, growing with every passing moment. Strange movements in the house began to register in his ears, causing his heart to race. He couldn't ignore the urgency building within him, like a warning that something bad was about to happen.Logan decided to act cautiously, so he opened the bathroom door without making a sound and peered into the hallway. What he saw sent a chill down his spine. A man, a complete stranger, was trying to enter one of the rooms upstairs. Logan noticed the silenced pistol holstered at the man's side, and it sent shivers down his spine.Determined not to be
Mr Clarkson, desperation in his tone, begged, "Logan, please, stop. There has to be another way."But Logan, standing up angrily, attempted to leave. Suddenly, his grandfather called for his guards. "Guards! Escort my grandson upstairs. He's not feeling quite well today."Logan, bewildered, protested, "What are you doing? You can't keep me here! I'm not a minor, and I have rights!"But the guards, following orders, guided Logan upstairs. One of them, sympathetically, whispered as soon as they he was in saying, "Get well soon, Logan," before locking the door behind him.Inside the room, Logan banged on the door, frustration evident. "Let me out! I need to save her! I will sue you all! Especially you Baton!"His pleas fell on deaf ears as he found himself confined, the weight of the situation sinking in. Meanwhile, downstairs, his grandfather and Sam exchanged worried glances, both realizing the gravity of the impending clash. The fate of Aella hung in the balance, and the struggle betw
Logan woke up groggily, the previous night's celebration still lingering in his mind. Glancing at his phone, he was startled to find 36 missed calls from Baton. Wondering what could be so urgent, he dialed back, his irritation evident.As Baton picked up, Logan couldn't help but yell. "Jesus Christ Baton! 36 missed calls? What's so important?"Baton's voice was tense in response saying, "Logan, where were you last night?"Logan, defensive, shot back, "Why would I report to you, Baton. It's none of your business. It's not like you are my father."Baton, cutting to the chase, explained, "There's a problem, Logan. You know, you didn't want to listen yesterday, so i thought that it was too dangerous for you to move around alone. I ordered my guys to follow you. They informed me that you were seeing someone, followed you all the way home and now, the girl you were with is missing currently."But Logan, dismissing the concern, retorted, "What do you mean? You don't know that? You're wrong.
Logan's phone buzzed, and his face lit up as he saw Aella's name on the screen. He answered, "Hey, Aella! What's up?"Aella's voice conveyed excitement, "Logan, I saw the news! You're amazing! I don't know... I want to celebrate with you!"Grinning, Logan replied, "Thanks, Aella! I'd love to celebrate. Any particular place in mind?"Aella teased, "Nope, you decide. It's your moment!"After a moment of thought, Logan suggested, "How about the old canteen? You know, where I used to work. It has a special vibe."Aella agreed, "Perfect! I'll meet you there in two hours. Can't wait!"As they both hung up, Logan's mind raced with anticipation. Logan dashed outside, waving down a cab with an eagerness that couldn't be contained. Jumping into the cab, the driver couldn't help but notice the sheer joy radiating from Logan's face.The cab driver, curious, couldn't help but ask. "You look like you're on top of the world! Date night, huh?"Logan, grinning ear to ear, shook his head. "Nah, not a
The entry of Mr. Clarkson into the board meeting room caused a stir among the members. Shocked murmurs spread like wildfire, and Mr. Winston, the leader of the faction aiming to replace the chairman, hastily approached Mr. Clarkson, feigning surprise."Mr. Clarkson! We thought you were... well, we heard..."Mr. Clarkson, maintaining his calm attitude, replied, "Heard what, Winston? That I was dead? I'm glad to see your concern for my well-being. Why is everyone gathered here today?"Winston stuttered, trying to compose himself. "We're having a meeting to get things in order. Everything hasn't been the same since your disappearance."But Logan sniffled, catching on to the pretense. He glanced at the presentation on the hall's TV screen, the topic being displayed titled, "Leadership Transition: Appointing a New Chairman and CEO"With a wry smile, Logan remarked in response, "Get things in order, you say? Replacing the chairman and CEO, huh?"Winston swallowed nervously, realizing that t
As Logan agreed to the DNA test, his grandfather, Mr. Clarkson, wasted no time. He instructed Baton to bring in the doctor, a trusted individual who had been part of their lives for years. The doctor entered, exchanging pleasantries with Logan before turning to the task at hand."Logan," the doctor explained, "we're going to take a sample for a DNA test. It's a simple process, and the results will be ready in a day or two."Logan, though slightly uneasy about the procedure, nodded in agreement. The doctor carefully collected the necessary samples, emphasizing the significance of the test and its potential impact on their lives.Later that evening, Logan bid his grandfather goodbye, heading home with Baton. However, a twist awaited him in as he got home. As soon as he got home, he found himself removed from the secret online group, he had been part of for with the board members for a while now. It seemed they believed he had aligned with Sam earlier, casting doubt on his identity as M
As the evening sun cast long shadows across the city, Logan sat in his dimly lit living room, the television flickering with breaking news. The somber tone of the reporter echoed through the room, announcing the police's hunt for Sam in connection with the tragic deaths of Mr. Clarkson's son and daughter-in-law, alongside the mysterious disappearance of two members of the company's board.Logan clenched his fists, a mix of shock and anger on his face, as he muttered to himself, "Stupid cops, they let him escape?"The reporter continued, "Authorities are urging anyone with information about Sam's whereabouts to come forward. If you have any details, please contact the local police immediately."Unable to bear it any longer, Logan stormed out of his living room in anger, creating chaos in his room and turning everything upsidedown. His bodyguards, T-bone and Pete, were left startled by the sudden outburst, wondering what had provoked him.Meanwhile, Sam bunked with his old partners in c
Sam, fueled by frustration and betrayal, paced angrily in his living room, his mind clouded by the unexpected resistance from Logan. The weight of the situation pressed on him, leading him to seek solace in the bottom of a bottle. He stormed into his house, heading straight to the fridge and uncorking a bottle of alcohol.As Sam drowned his vexation in the numbing embrace of liquor, Mr. Patrick, returning to the sitting room, was taken aback by the sight. He approached Sam with concern, questioning, "Sam, what are you doing?"Sam, in a state of inebriation, sneered, "Seems like we'll have to revisit the past, Patrick."Perplexed, Mr. Patrick asked, "Revisit the past? What do you mean?"Sam, his words slurring, reminded him, "Remember how we took down Mr. Clarkson's family years ago? Well, it's time to do it again. His grandson, Logan, is a stumbling block. I gave him a chance to live, but he's so stubborn like his father."Attempting get more out of this, Mr. Patrick queried, "Why now
As Sam returned home, a self-satisfied grin adorned his face, believing he had successfully manipulated Logan into submission. Mr. Patrick, his reluctant accomplice, noticed the elation and couldn't help but inquire, "What's up, Sam? You seem pretty pleased. Got some good news?"Sam, reveling in his perceived triumph, downplayed the situation, replying, "Ah, nothing much happened. Just some smooth sailing."Unconvinced, Mr. Patrick pressed further, "Come on, Sam. You can share the good news with me. We're in this together, right?"But Sam persisted, maintaining his air of mystery, "Nothing worth sharing, Patrick. Just routine business."Despite Sam's evasive response, Mr. Patrick reassured him afterwards saying, "Well, I spoke with Baton. He understands the need to keep things clean from now on. No more messy work."Sam, pleased with the assurance, nodded. "Good. We can't afford any unnecessary attention. Baton needs to stick to the plan and stop leaving clues for the cops."The follo
The denial in Mr. Clarkson's eyes lingered, a stubborn refusal to accept the harsh reality that Logan presented. Determined to provide irrefutable evidence, Logan embarked on a mission to extract a confession from Sam himself.Later in the day, within the confines of Baton's compound, Logan convened a meeting with his newfound partners, Baton and Mr. Patrick. As they lounged in a secluded area, drinks in hand, Logan outlined his plan."We need a confession from Sam," Logan declared, his eyes meeting the gaze of Baton and Mr. Patrick. "Otherwise, granddad won't believe anything without solid proof. I think you should raise a discussion relating to this Patrick. Try to extract information from Sam yourself."Mr. Patrick, hesitating, voiced his concerns, "Sam is no fool Logan. If I dare bring up such a topic, he'll surely get very suspicious and might start thinking that I'm trying to extract information from him and must be recording. He's very cunny like that."Baton, leaning back in h
