Before Zachary could react, the man continued pompously on the other end, "Not coming, are you? Just give us an address, and we'll send you one of his legs. How about that?"
"Lay a finger on him, and I'll cut you into pieces!" Zachary bellowed.
"Oh, really?" The man laughed smugly. "Why do I doubt that? Come to us if you dare—I'll wait."
Zachary was at once stumped!
He quickly hung up and set his phone to airplane mode in fear that the gang would trace his signal here.
It was obvious that those gang members were serial criminals, and that meant they were capable of anything!
And now, they had James!
He paced around anxiously.
What should they do? How were they going to save James?
Still, she soon remembered that Isaac was the smartest among them, and they would need him to make the call.
However…
Zachary glanced at his bedroom then.
Irene was shot, and although he got the bullet out, she needed time to recover.
Isaac was blind.
And Stan left to get a doctor and was not back yet.
Moreover, after searching for Isaac for days, they did not really get any real meals.
But James's situation could not wait!
In the end, he walked up and knocked on Isaac's bedroom door.
He heard movement inside, and the door was soon opened.
Isaac was standing at the doorway and holding out a hand.
Zachary quickly understood and offered Isaac his arm, while Isaac said flatly, "Let's get to the study."
Zahary nodded, but on the way there, he could not stop himself from saying, "James is in trouble."
Isaac's expression changed ever so slightly, though he soon regained his calm.
It was a taboo to lose composure in the face of adversity!
