Yvonne's eyes turned predatory and cold. "I knew this would come back to bite us!"
"What do we do now?" Sonny asked.
Yvonne thought for a moment. "Doesn't Mrs. Atkins have a young grandson? Take him away and stash him somewhere safe."
Sonny let out a sleazy laugh. "That's kidnapping."
"Those are Mrs. Hanson's orders!" Yvonne emphasized pointedly. "Once this is over, she'll double your payout."
That was all Sonny needed to hear. "No problem!"
"Just find a place and keep an eye on the kid," Yvonne warned. "Don't kill anyone."
"Even if you told us to, we wouldn't have the guts!" Sonny replied immediately.
"Follow Mrs. Hanson's instructions and you'll be well compensated!" Yvonne said, satisfied.
Once Gonzalez left J City, everything would be resolved, and they wouldn't have to worry about Mrs. Atkins' son threatening them anymore. Right now, the most critical thing was forcing Gonzalez to leave as quickly as possible.

Two hours later.
Damian called Gonzalez. "Boss, Mrs. Atkins' grandson was kidnapped!"
Gonzalez's pupils constricted.
His and Norah's plan had relied on the fact that Mrs. Atkins' son was a lowlife. Once Hannah's men showed up, the two sides were bound to clash, allowing them to sweep in and reap the benefits.
He hadn't expected Hannah to be ruthless enough to straight-up kidnap the grandson.
"Why didn't you stop them?" Gonzalez asked, his tone lazy and carrying a hint of mocking amusement.
"We were too late," Damian replied. "The kid was already gone."
After quitting her job at the Hanson estate, Mrs. Atkins had gone home primarily to watch the kid. Her son was a lazy gambling addict. He had lost so badly recently that his wife had packed up and gone back to her parents' house. Mrs. Atkins had only taken Hannah's money to pay off the debts in hopes of getting her daughter-in-law to come back.
After lunch, she had gone out for groceries, leaving her napping grandson at home. The supermarket was just at the end of the alley; she had assumed she would only be gone for a few minutes. To her horror, the boy was gone by the time she returned.
