The news of Sebastian's arrest had gone viral the following day. The city was filled with headlines: *Prime Enterprise President Taken into Arrest for Drug Offense* While online blogs and social media platforms were overflowing with rumors and gossip, television channels devoted entire segments to breaking news. The entire world seemed to be anticipating every new detail of the shocking incident, as if they were holding their breath.Reporters descended upon Prime Enterprise, pointing cameras and microphones at anyone who ventured outside the structure. The sheer volume of journalists clamoring for answers soon overwhelmed security. Inside the building, William Prime paced restlessly through his office, his face pale but determined. He was aware that reporters were outside yelling questions in an attempt to get a glimpse of anyone associated with the company. "Mr. Prime, there is too much press coverage. A security guard said, his face tight, "They are blocking the exits." Willia

The noise from the crowd outside finally subsided as William let out a sharp exhale inside Prime Enterprise. Though the tension in his chest subsided a little, it was still very much present.His cell phone rang. He noticed Don Carten's name flash across the screen as he glanced at it. William responded right away."Don, tell me you have good news."Don spoke in a cool, direct tone. "The bail for Sebastian has been approved. He is about to be released. But the case is still open, William. The police made it clear that Sebastian might be taken into custody once more at any time unless we could produce proof that would clear him. We need to act fast."When William learned about the bail, his shoulders relaxed slightly. "Good," he said, his tone low and determined. "Take him out of there. I will handle it from here."Don paused for a moment before continuing, his tone serious. "William, there is something else you should know. The police are looking into Prime Enterprise's operations, p

As Juliana fixed her gaze on the quivering receptionist, her breath caught in her throat. There was a tangible sense of tension in the air, and the faint beeping sound of the fluorescent lights seemed to be amplified. As the seconds passed, it seemed like an eternity since she was waiting for the receptionist to clarify the situation.The receptionist looked from Juliana to the ID card, her hands trembling a little. Her voice trembled with nervousness as she struggled to speak. "This... this ID card is for him, the man who impersonated Jonathan Woods."With her mind racing, Juliana blinked. The imposter? Despite not having personally seen the imposter, she had heard fragments of information about the circumstances. She was only aware of this person's connection to the chaos that resulted in Sebastian's arrest. Her heartbeat became faster. "Wait, are you sure?" she questioned, taking a step closer and sounding a little surprised. "Is this the man who caused all of this trouble?" The

Hours had passed since Abigail sent Anthony an image of the imposter's ID, and suspense hung heavy in William Prime's office. The silence was broken by the quiet ticking of the clock, which made the air heavy with anticipation. William and Abigail stayed seated, looking back and forth between their phones and the suspicious ID card that was lying on William's desk.William reclined in his chair and looked up at the ceiling, massaging his temples. Since the receptionist had pointed out the imposter, his mind had been racing, but they had nothing more than conjecture in the absence of hard proof. He had to act quickly before this lead disappeared. Sebastian's independence and the company's future were in jeopardy as time was running out.With her fingers tapping tensely on the chair's armrest, Abigail sat across from him. Ever since the receptionist's revelation, she had not left the room. She was waiting for Anthony's answer, and every second felt like an eternity. After weeks of in

It was already evening, and the cops had been notified. There was an extreme level of tension in William Prime's office. The clock seemed to be mocking their inaction; it had once been a silent reminder of time passing. With thoughts of vindication and retaliation racing through his head, Sebastian paced back and forth, unable to stay still. Abigail waited for any updates from Anthony while perched on the edge of her chair with her fingers hovering over her phone."We should let the police handle it," Abigail said, breaking the silence. "Richard Rice is extremely dangerous. We do not want anything to go wrong."Sebastian halted in the middle of his stride and faced her, his determination shining in his eyes. "I have had enough of waiting. While everything around me falls apart, we have been waiting for answers for weeks. I refuse to wait any longer. Not with us this close."William moved away from the window and in Sebastian's direction. "I know how you feel, Sebastian, but this is m

Amidst the tense atmosphere at the docks, an officer bellowed, "Stand down, Mr. Prime!" The cop cars' flashing lights created a bluish, cold glow over the scene, and as multiple officers jumped out and raced toward the altercation, their sirens continued to sound.Sebastian froze for a moment, still pinning Richard Rice to the ground, his knuckles white with anger. He was panting heavily, anger and desperation muddled in his thoughts. He had been waiting for this exact moment to make Richard tell the truth and to finally receive the answers that had escaped him for so long.However, it appeared that moment might pass quickly now that the cops were drawing near."Stand down, I said!" Two more officers hurried forward to pull Sebastian and Richard apart as the lead officer growled once more. They grabbed Sebastian tightly and yanked him back, away from his target. Coughing and straining to stand, Richard's face was bloodied and bruised, but his sneer remained intact."You are going to

When the Nike family received the news, it was already late in the evening. Senior Nike stood by the window, his silhouette against the moonlight that filtered through the curtains. He looked out into the darkness, his face twisted in rage and anxiety. His veins swelled as he remembered the message: "The president of Prime Enterprise had been released, while Richard Rice had been apprehended."The words shattered his composure like daggers.Romy and Cindy stood in nervous silence in the spacious, opulent sitting room. They looked at each other nervously, waiting for Senior Nike to turn around and say something to them. The air was nearly oppressive, and there was a palpable sense of unease.The two closest confidants of Senior Nike narrowed their eyes as he turned around at last. His voice was low, but it was full of boiling rage. "How did you allow this to occur? You both gave me assurances that Richard Rice would not be apprehended and that this would be handled.” He stepped close

The light over Prime Enterprise was pale as the following day broke. There was tension in the air inside the building. Sebastian arrived at William's office after a restless night, his eyes hollow with resolve. Abigail was there already, her own anxieties casting a shadow over her face, but her presence providing a quiet support. Don Carten, as stoic as ever, stood off to the side, braced for whatever the day held.William stood up from his seat as everyone gathered. "The police have already questioned Richard Rice," he stated, folding his arms tightly. "We have to be there to hear what he says firsthand."Sebastian just nodded, his jaw clenched. All night long, he had been going over what had happened at the docks in his head, wondering what he could have done differently, or how close he had come to getting Richard to tell the truth before the cops showed up. Just that thought was bothering him. He vowed that things would be different today.—The atmosphere inside the police stat

As Sebastian, Abigail, and William Prime left Prime Enterprise and entered the government building that housed the Director General's office, the tension was evident. The imposing tower served as a stark reminder of the power housed within. But they were all unwavering in their determination. There was nothing that would stop them from seeking answers.Clearly taken aback by their unexpected arrival, the front desk receptionist asked them to wait while she verified their meeting. They spoke briefly over the intercom, and then she pointed to two guards standing at a door further inside the structure."The Director General is expecting you," she announced nervously.The guards unlocked the doors and ushered them down a long corridor lined with pictures of former officials. Their resolve to face the man behind the questionable order echoed in every step of the seemingly endless walk. They finally came to a big oak door. After knocking twice, the guards forced it open, exposing the Dire

After hanging up the phone with Anthony, Sebastian sat still in his chair for a while, his thoughts racing with incredulity and frustration. Although there was a lot of tension in his office, he did not waste any time moping. He got up from his chair, grabbed his office phone, and called William Prime's extension. "Uncle William, please come to my office right away," Sebastian said in a stern and demanding tone. He hung up without waiting for a response, then dialed Abigail. "Abigail, please meet me in my office now. It is about the Nike lawsuit and the commissioner." --- In a matter of minutes, William Prime infiltrated Sebastian's office with a worried expression in place of his customary composure. Abigail trailed closely behind, her face displaying a mix of interest and anxiety. Although he was still standing and pacing close to his desk, Sebastian motioned for them to sit down. "I just got off the phone with Anthony," he said, his voice tight. "He told me that the

As he tapped on the holding cell's metal bars, the officer stared at Cindy, Romy, and Senior Nike. "You might want to hear this," he said in a casual yet excited tone. Senior Nike looked up from his seat, his face tired but intrigued. Cindy and Romy looked at each other, their faces hopeful but tense."So, what is it?" Senior Nike inquired, his voice steady despite the weight of their recent ordeal.The officer was holding up a phone. “Miss Angelina's work has been going above and beyond. The application for bail has been filed. Although it is not yet complete, it is a positive step.”As the words took hold, there was a brief pause in conversation. After that, the three felt a wave of relief as though a switch had been flipped. For the first time since their arrest, Senior Nike's stern manner softened as he exhaled deeply. Romy smiled with a mix of surprise and delight, and Cindy's face brightened as she clapped her hands together."We are leaving this place," Cindy declared, her vo

Greene unhappiness was unhidden, as an overwhelming sense of failure pervaded the air as Greene and his group filed out of Gray's deserted hideout. As the group left the ramshackle building, the sun was sinking, illuminating the streets with a grim orange tint. As they returned to the black SUVs parked a few meters away, the only sound they heard was the crunch of their boots on gravel. Greene continued walking forward, his thoughts racing with frustration and unresolved issues. Once more, Gray had escaped their grasp, and this time it felt intimate. He believed that the timing was ideal and the mission was flawless. Someone had told him, and Greene could not get rid of the suspicion that the system itself was the source of the betrayal. "Back to the station," Greene said curtly as he climbed into the front passenger seat of the leading vehicle. Parker cautiously glanced at him as he slid into the driver's seat, but remained silent. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his jaw

In her office, Angelina’s phone rang. She picked it up immediately, recognizing her cousin’s number.“It’s done,” the Director General said in a low voice. “The commissioner has agreed to submit a request for bail, though it’s far from certain that the court will approve it.”A wave of relief washed over Angelina, but she knew better than to celebrate prematurely. “Thank you, cousin. I know this wasn’t easy.”“Just remember, Angelina,” he warned, “this could backfire on both of us. If the Nikes don’t show up for even a single hearing, we’ll be implicated in their escape, and the fallout will be devastating.”She nodded, though he couldn’t see her. “I understand. I’ll make sure they know the gravity of the situation. They won’t risk it.”As she hung up, Angelina sat back, her mind racing with the next steps. She was painfully aware of how high the stakes had risen, but she was determined to see this through. She dialed the Nikes, instructing them to be prepared for the bail hearing and

Angelina paced in her office, her mind spinning with possibilities. She knew the stakes were sky-high, and any chance she had to protect the Nikes was slipping away. Her only option now was to secure a bail for them, if only to keep their case out of the public eye for a little longer. Taking a deep breath, she dialed her cousin, the Director General, her fingers tightening around the phone as it rang.He answered after a few rings, his voice as calm and steady as ever. “Angelina, what is it now?”“Cousin,” she began, her voice steady but with an underlying urgency, “I need you to do something else for me. I know it’s a lot to ask, but please consider it.”He paused, as if bracing himself. “Go on.”“I need you to arrange bail for the Nike family,” she said, every word carefully measured. “If they’re kept in custody, their reputation will be tarnished beyond repair. Their businesses, their livelihoods, will crumble before they’ve even had a chance to defend themselves.”The Director Ge

Greene and his group charged into Gray's hiding place, braced for battle, their movements coordinated and soundless as they broke through the door and spread out. There was a strange stillness in the air, like the calm after a storm, and the room was oppressively dimly lit. They moved quickly, checking corners, staying vigilant, and keeping their weapons at the ready, but with every second that went by, the team felt more and more uneasy. Greene quickly realized that Gray was not present.Greene straightened, his jaw clenched in frustration as he looked around. He had thought Gray would be in the shadows, huddled in a corner, about to run. Rather, the space was lifeless, frigid, and empty, as though Gray had departed long before they did. Some papers were strewn about, a chair was overturned, and there was a slight smell of cigarette smoke, all evidence of hurried packing. He had definitely been here recently, but he had left before they could apprehend him.Greene took out his phon

Gray's pulse accelerated as he gazed at his phone, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles went white. He was taken aback by his private investigator's news, and a cold shiver went down his spine. He had been hoping for positive news, perhaps even proof that his adversaries were losing sight of him. Rather, it was a shock to learn that Elliot had given the special unit team a lead."Are you sure about this?" Gray demanded, attempting to maintain composure in spite of his growing panic. "To what extent do they know?"In order to emphasize the gravity of the situation, the investigator's voice was tense. "From what we can tell, sir, they are getting closer to where you are. Elliot's tip appears to be specific enough to give them a ballpark estimate of your location. The team has already mobilized and is probably currently on their way. There is not much time for you."Gray's thoughts were racing as he weighed his options, and his eyes were darting around the room. His hiding

As the day went on, Greene walked around the dark precinct office, reviewing all of the things he had said to Eliot. Despite his natural tendency to exercise caution, Greene was aware that Eliot's assistance might be crucial to destroying Gray ShelfHe looked down at the screen as the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. An unknown number. Greene answered, bracing himself as his heart began to race a bit."This is Detective Greene," he stated firmly."Detective," Eliot replied, maintaining the same guarded tone as before. "I have given it some thought. If you want my assistance with Gray, I have some conditions."Greene gripped the phone with clenched fingers. "Go ahead."After a brief silence, Eliot spoke again in a composed yet firm tone. "First and foremost, I do not want my name on any arrest lists. When this is finished, I will walk away clean. No trials or handcuffs. Second, I need to be compensated. A million dollars should be enough to cover the costs of risking my life. Fina
