Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

The voice on the other end had said just one thing, "Zip it. If it's not your place to speak, then don't. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to silence you." With that, the call was abruptly ended.

The driver held his phone, his shirt already drenched with sweat.

As night fell, Murray stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, motionless as if in deep meditation.

He watched as the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky gradually swallowed by darkness, and shadows began to creep from every unseen corner.

When the night fully descended, the man's tall figure was reflected in the glass.

Suddenly, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered.

Murray: "Having fun, Corley?"

There was a slight pause on the other end: "Murray, what's gotten into you now?"

He smirked: "Didn't Micah give you a call?"

Micah was the name of the driver.

Silence fell on the other end.
