Chapter 124

RYAN

What is this nonsense I'm hearing about Lily being abducted?" My father asked the moment he walked into my home office. "Why isn't he on every news outlet yet?"

"Because he specifically stated that we shouldn't involve the cops and Ryan is planning on obeying that order.”

My father's sharp glare moved to me. "Have you lost it? How do you want to handle a case of abduction without the cops?"

He pulled out a seat and sat down, Crossing his leg. "So what's the plan? For you to have decided not to involve the cops, that simply means you have a plan. Let's hear it." Sighing, I plopped down on the sofa. "I honestly do not have any plans yet."

He scoffed. "Yet you do not want to involve the police?" He shook his head. "Is there a particular reason why you don't want to involve the cops?"

"They have been useless," I stressed and his brow jerked up in surprise. "They couldn't find Waper and they never caught Jake which is why we are in this problem to start with." "That is not an excuse not to involve them." He stressed.

Angelo cleared his throat and stood up. "I'll get a glass of whiskey for everyone." He walked out of the office, probably hunting for the old Irish whiskey on the mini bar downstairs. "What does he want in return?" Dad asked and I cradled my head.

I've been looking at my phone every second, waiting for him to make his demand so we can get on with it, but till now, no response. "He's yet to say anything about what he really wants."

The door opened and Angelo walked in with three glasses and the whiskey I assumed he went for. He passed each one the glass and filled it halfway.

"He's probably going to ask for money," Angelo chimed in, "or a means to leave the country."

He took a seat and I glanced at him. "Why do you sound so confident? Have you worked with abductors that much?"

He scoffed. "Are you trying to be funny right now?" He leaned forward. "The case against him isn't about Lily alone, he is an already wanted man, which means you do not have the power to stop his case, so he won't demand that from you, however, he is going to believe the fact that you can give him the money which will aid Jon to leave or help him out of the country. That is his only two options."
