In his dimly lit room, Tony pulled out his phone, his expression a mixture of frustration and determination. Scrolling through his contacts, he found the number he sought. With a deep breath, he pressed the call button.The voice on the other end picked up after a few rings. "Tony, it's been a while. What can I do for you?"Tony, choosing his words carefully, responded, "I've got a job for you."There was a slight pause on the other end, then a hint of skepticism. "Tony, I thought you'd hung up the cloak and dagger routine. What happened to turning over a new leaf?"Tony's voice remained steady. "I've got one job. Are you in or not?"The guy on the line sighed, relenting. "Alright, Tony. What's the job?"Tony leaned back in his chair, staring into the distance. "I want you to track someone for me. His name's Logan."A note of surprise colored the guy's voice. "Logan? I thought you'd left that world behind. What's he got to do with anything?"Tony, choosing not to delve into the detail
In the aftermath of the silenced shots, the room hung heavy with tension. The intruder, Pete, scanned the bed, his gaze fixated on the pillows, realization dawning upon him that Logan wasn't where he seemed.Turning towards the opened door, Pete remained unaware that Logan, poised with a flower vase as an improvised weapon, crouched behind it. Another man, Pete's colleague, briskly entered the room, asking if got Logan, referring to the gunshots. Pete, still focused on the empty bed, replied, "No, he's not around. He must be hiding somewhere here. We need to find him."As they began to search, the two intruders scavenged the room for valuables, stuffing their pockets with anything they found fancy in Logan's room along with some cash. However, Pete's companion, less enticed by the allure of pilfered cash, addressed him, "Enough gold digging, Pete. We've got a job to do."But Pete was carried away by the discovery of a bundle of Logan's money. His eyes widened with greed, momentarily
"Wait! Wait!" Pete exclaimed, casting a fearful glance at T-bone. "T-bone, he's serious! Just spill it!"T-bone, even after sensing the urgency refused to relent. So Pete finally spilled the beans. "Okay, okay! It was Mr. Tony Watson. He sent us. I think you know him."Logan, though expecting Carter's father to react after their last encounter, was still shocked. The revelation that even Carter didn't know about his mansion but his dad did startled him. T-bone, seeing the shock on Logan's face, turned to Pete, berating him."You fool! Now we have nothing to bargain our way out of this mess!" T-bone chastised.Pete, defensive, shot back, "Shut up! I saved your life! You should be thanking me!"Ignoring their exchange, Logan demanded answers about how they infiltrated his house and who gave them the location. T-bone, seemingly eager to bargain for their freedom, proposed a deal."I'll tell you how we got in, but you have to let us go," T-bone bargained.Pete chimed in, "Yeah, we've coop

Some dudes busted into the mansion!"Logan, in on the act, decided to roll with it responding, "I'm okay." The gardener asked if the intruders were still around, mentioning hearing guys scream. Logan surviving those gun shots he heard was unexpected and he wanted all the juicy details. Logan, spinning his own web of lies, responded saying, "they booked it out through the backyard. We're safe now."The gardener kept pushing for more info asking, "but Boss, they were armed. Didn't they find you?" Logan, keeping his cool, cooked up

"Follow me, now," Logan commanded, the steel in his voice leaving no room for negotiation.The gun pressed against Dave's back as Logan guided him swiftly through the mansion. Every step echoed with the weight of impending consequences. The intensity heightened as they reached the basement door, the threshold of secrets and deceit.On the descending steps, Logan continued to keep the gun trained on Dave. He tossed him the key, a metallic glint in the dim light, and warned, "You open that door and remember Dave, No games."Dave fumbled with the key, his hands shaking.

The room crackled with tension as Baton's menacing figures encircled Logan. Baton, reveling in the moment, taunted, "So, Logan, how do you want to die? A bullet through the head or a good old-fashioned strangling?"Logan, unfazed by Baton's cruel jest, shot back, "How about we settle this the old-fashioned way? With our fists."Baton mocked, "You think you can beat me in a fair fight? Look at you, Logan.

As Logan almost finished his bath, the system's voice resonated in his mind, "congratulations host on successfully completing the task. Your IQ has been upgraded to help you tackle tasks quicker."
