Lawton continued to stare at the screen with Smithson when his phone suddenly rang.

Lawton picked up his phone as he saw it was his boss who was calling him.

"Good afternoon," Lawton said as he answered.

"Where are you?" Lawton's boss yelled.

"You are supposed to be at work, we need you here," he added.

He then ordered Lawton to come to work immediately or he would have to face his wrath the next day.

Lawton started to apologize to his boss over the phone as he could tell from his voice that he was really upset.

"I had an urgent family issue to attend to," Lawton said, trying to give an excuse.

"I'm sorry," Lawton added.

Lawton's boss was adamant as he insisted Lawton had to come to work that minute.

"You have thirty minutes to get to work," Lawton's boss said.

"You will be fired if I don't see you in the next thirty minutes," He added before he hung up the phone.

Smithson was looking at Lawton as he talked on the phone and wondered who Lawton was apologizing that much too.

    "You think you can show me anything that would scare me into agreeing to your request?" The gang leader said, glaring at Logan. "I'm not going to agree to your request no matter what," he continued. "You are wasting your time here," he added. Logan saw the gang leader's stubbornness as foolishness as he smiled at him. He knew what he was about to show him would scare him and make him agree to his proposal immediately. Logan smiled at his phone as he got a message from one of his men. He laughed as he watched the content of the video which his men had just sent him. "Perfect," Logan said, as he continued to watch the video on his cell phone.

    Lawton is perturbed and greatly disturbed by what he has just watched. He looked over to Smithson who was still staring at the screen. "That's enough for the night," he said. "Switch it off," Lawton added, pointing to the screen. Smithson could tell that what they had just watched affected Lawton as he stood up and switched off the television. "You look worried young master," he said, as he walked towards Lawton. "Is this about what we just watched?" Smithson asked. "Logan is even more cunning and clever than I thought," Lawton said. "He managed to buy the gang leader's men off," he continued. "I don't think I can trust any of our men after what I just watched," Lawton added. Lawton was beginning to worry Logan would turn their men against them. "I trust our men young master, " Smithson said, trying to assure Lawton. "They cannot be bought," he continued. "I will conduct a secret investigation young master, just to be sure we are in safe hands," He added. "That would be b
