Denzel was slumped on the couch, eyes half–closed, looking like he’d just lost his last penny. Every time things went south, his so–called friends vanished faster than a magician’s trick.

He was fuming, but deep down, he knew it made sense. The people they were up against were in a whole different league way too dangerous for his regular buddies to handle. No one wanted to get caught in the crossfire.

Rebecca had been holding it together since the incident, not letting a single tear fall.

But when she saw Bianca get hauled away by the police, she cracked and cried her heart out. Her eyes were still red and puffy, a clear sign she’d been crying again.

She stepped closer to Denzel, her voice cracking. “Denzel, there’s really no way out?”

He shook his head, looking defeated. “I’ve tried every one I can think of. No one’s willing to help us.”

Rebecca’s voice trembled as she spoke through her tears. “What about Mr. Hartley? We could beg him to go easy on Bianca. Please, Denzel.”

Denzel sighed, rubbing his temples. “Mr. Hartley? He’s not the type to cut anyone a break. If he’s involved, it’s all the way. There’s no way he’d let Bianca off the hook.”

But Rebecca wasn’t giving up. She grabbed his hand, urgency in her eyes. “We have to try, Denzel. Even if there’s just a small chance, we have to try. That’s our daughter. If we don’t fight for her, who will?

“Denzel, I’m begging you. Let’s go ask him. What if he does let Bianca go?”

At first, Denzel didn’t want to reach out for help. He figured it didn’t matter if they went or not; the outcome would be the same. But seeing his wife so upset, he couldn’t stay hard–hearted and finally decided to give it a try.

He thought about the odds. If there was even a tiny chance to fix things, it was worth trying. And if it didn’t work out, at least Rebecca wouldn’t have to wonder about missed opportunities.
