"What's wrong, Leah? What happened?" he asked, his voice tinged with urgency.Leah took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves as she recounted the harrowing events of the day.

Their boss, a shadowy figure whose face remained hidden in the darkness, paced back and forth, his voice dripping with disdain."I can't believe you incompetent fools let Jamie slip through your fingers!" the boss growled, his voice echoing off the walls. "I was told he was nothing but a weakling, yet here we are, empty-handed and humiliated."One of the thugs stepped forward, his voice trembling with fear. "Boss, we didn't know Jamie was so tough.
