The cab rumbled through the city streets, weaving its way towards the Jizzy Bar, its neon lights shimmering in the night. Inside the cab, Martinez and Big Benny exchanged glances, both surprised by Logan's unexpected destination.Martinez couldn't contain his shock as he quickly informed his boss, Sam. "Boss we followed him, he's heading to the Jizzy Bar. Who knows what he's doing there?"Sam's voice crackled through the phone, a hint of surprise in his tone. "The Jizzy Bar? What's he doing there? Keep an eye on him, and let me know what's going on."As the cab pulled up near the Jizzy Bar, Martinez and Big Benny entered, attempting to blend in with the crowd. Sam's orders echoed in their minds, urging them to observe Logan closely. The Jizzy Bar buzzed with activity, and Logan, surrounded by his friends from the canteen, seemed to revel in the lively atmosphere.At one point, Martinez pulled out his phone, aiming to record Logan and his friends. Big Benny, noticing the move, swiftly
In the dimly lit alley of Crescent Street, Logan's day at the canteen had left him with a nagging suspicion that Sam might be watching his every move. Despite Daniel's well-intentioned advice to curb his frequent drinking, Logan pressed on with his objective, heading towards the casino for an appointment with Jace, a fellow canteen employee.As he strolled down the dimly lit street, he noticed the familiar vehicle he had spotted earlier before getting the tip off that Sam was watching him, parked ominously ahead. The streetlights within the area casted long shadows, and Logan's senses heightened with the realization that danger lurked nearby. Instinctively, he decided to retreat, turning back towards the brighter part of the street he had come from.However, the ominous vehicle made a swift U-turn, its engine growling to life as it started moving towards him. Panic set in, and Logan began to run, wondering what orders Sam had given to the shadowy figures now closing in on him. The veh
As Logan entered his place, T-Bone and Pete immediately sprang into action, offering assistance with first aid. Grateful for their support, Logan thanked them for their concern and care. Soon, they handed him his cellphone, letting him know that he had a series of missed calls from a guy named Baton. Finding a moment of privacy, Logan returned Baton's call.Baton's tone conveyed genuine concern as he picked up. "I've been calling you, kid. What happened?" Logan, still in the aftermath of the staged ordeal, replied nonchalantly, "nothing really. Left my phone at home when I went to a bar. You know I have to be extra careful as I have people watching me from every corner."Baton, responded however saying, "your phone should be at your pocket kid not at home as Logan shoots back at him saying, "you have no idea about the torture I just went through so don't act like you're the perfect one here."After Logan's response, Baton shared the crucial information. "Well, I wanted to inform you o
Suddenly, Logan's phone buzzed again. This time, it was T-bone and Pete, the duo who had come to his aid the previous night. Their loyalty to him hadn't gone unnoticed, and Logan felt a sense of relief hearing from them."Hey, Logan, how you holding up?" T-bone greeted.Logan sighed, "Been better. What's up with you guys?"T-bone got straight to the point saying, "Logan, we've been keeping an eye on Sam like you requested and according to my boys latest discovery, it looks like he's up to something serious scheduled to happen tonight."Logan's eyebrows furrowed, "Serious? What do you mean?"Pete explained, "Our source tells us Sam's been inviting some board members for a meeting tonight. It's not looking good, Logan."Logan's mind raced, connecting the dots. "Any idea what this meeting is about?"T-bone nodded responding, "Not sure, but it seems big. We thought you should know."Logan, grateful for their loyalty, requested, "Do you have any information about the individuals invited T-
Logan anxiously awaited Carter's confirmation, his heart pounding with the fear of betrayal. Moments later, the phone buzzed, and Carter's gruff voice came through. "Job done, Logan. Where's my remaining payment?"Relief washed over Logan, but he maintained composure. "I'll get you the rest when I confirm the job is done, Carter."Carter's voice grew louder, a threatening edge emerging, "You better pay up, Logan, or I swear—"Logan cut him off, ending the call abruptly. He chuckled to himself, not picking up Carter's numerous subsequent calls. The truth was, he needed to ensure Carter had indeed completed the job and not swindled him.Restless, Logan spent the night tossing and turning. He couldn't shake the anxiety that accompanied his alliance with Carter. Not being able to sleep, he turned on the TV, only to be met with breaking news about a fire at the Eclipse Hotel. Panic surged through him instantly as he feared the worst. Did Carter fail to switch the room labels?Logan clenche
After Sam's revelation about Mr. Patrick's betrayal, he couldn't contain the urgency to inform Logan. He dialed Logan's number, and when Logan answered, the tension in Sam's voice was palpable."Logan, we need to meet. I just figured out that Mr. Patrick has been sabotaging our plans. He's the one behind the attacks, and he probably kidnapped your grandfather, faking the accident and running away," Sam blurted out urgently.Logan, intentionally playing it cool, questioned, "How did you know that he was faking his accident? You never mentioned that before."Quickly covering his tracks, Sam responded, "I've been investigating him for awhile now Logan. There's a mole in my group, someone leaked the information. I thought you should know."Concerned, Logan asked, "What are you planning to do about it?""I'm telling you so you can be aware. Are you free? We need to discuss this properly," Sam suggested.But Logan, still recovering from the beating he took last time, replied, "I can't walk
Two days later, the board members gathered for a meeting, mirroring the plan Logan and the neutral members had carefully organized.Logan was caught off that morning guard as a series of frequent calls from Sam jolted him awake. Sleepily answering the phone, Sam's urgent tone conveyed that today was the D-Day – the crucial board meeting."Logan, there's an urgent meeting today. Get ready and don't be late," Sam's voice echoed through the phone.Logan, still half-asleep, realized he had to act quickly. He couldn't wear the only suit he had again – the one he had worn during the last visit to the firm.Unaware that the board had decided on this impromptu meeting, he rushed to a nearby store to purchase a new suit. After browsing for some minutes, he walk up to the cashier as he paid her, opting to avoid the store where he had received his last suit for free, finding it weird.Armed with his new suit, Logan headed to his grandfather's company, uncertain about the dynamics of the approach
As the remnants of the turbulent board meeting exited one after the other, Logan turned to Sam with a puzzled expression. "Why are you so insistent on making me the CEO, Sam? I'm not even Mr. Clarkson's son."Sam, turned to him, his facade cracking as he replied with a hint of frustration, "Not you too Logan. This is not just about you. We had an agreement and you can't back out now."Logan, now thoroughly confused, questioned Sam's motives as he asked further saying, "Agreement or not, the council doesn't like me. What do you want me to do, force them to accept me?"Sam, with a chilling determination, leaned in and whispered, "No, Logan. We have to eliminate the council."Logan's eyes widened in shock. "Eliminate? Are you suggesting we kill them?"Sam nodded in response but Logan quickly retorted. "Sam, that's not right. We can find another way, maybe bribe them or something."Sam, however, remained resolute. "These men won't take bribes Logan. Do you have any idea how much they've m
