"Get the hell out of my f*****g way!” The rider on the motorcycle yelled at him.

“| want Anna to be miserable. Joanna will be unable to have surgery until you complete this task. You can do the math on how much time you have left.”
"Is there anything else you want me to do?" Bill tapped the keyboard and texted back.
"You have two options. I'm going to warn you one more time. If you don't keep your word, we'll die together."
