Andrew answered the phone, his demeanor cold and ominous. The dangerous silence on his end was clear to Elijah, who
responded with a low chuckle.
Just then, the warehouse doors creaked open, and several men in black dragged an older man inside, tossing him roughly to the ground.
Andrew and Wilson realized it was Joe Ergot, the man they had arranged to meet the night before. A deadly, palpable tension filled the air as they realized they were trapped.
Andrew’s voice was calm but threatening. “What do you want?”

Andrew remained silent. Their phone lines were interfered with since they entered this area.
Elijah chuckled and said, “You haven’t been able to find that Maddie kid since last night, right?”

His tone was mocking with no attempt to hide his disdain for Andrew and Madelyn’s relationship.

“Don’t worry. She’s safe for now,” Elijah said.
The air grew thick with Andrew’s fury, a suffocating pressure
that threatened to explode. He closed his eyes and hissed, ” Don’t you dare hurt her.”

Elijah’s scheming against his brother had cost Wilson dearly. His tone turned icy. “It seems like Elijah has been abroad for too long. He has forgotten this city isn’t his playground to run
Andrew lit a cigarette, taking a long drag. “Maddie is in his hands.”
