"I suggest none of you make any sudden moves, Calvin warned.

"No one has to get hurt. We don't want to damage our merchandise. Each of you is priceless."

He initiated a video call, turning the camera to focus on Jasmine Kingston among the hostages.

"Father, we've secured Jasmine Kingston," Calvin reported

"Excellent," Lucas Walker replied.

"The police are en route to your location, blocking all roads out. It's safer to stay put. Use the hostages as leverage."

"Yes, Father."

"We'll use Jasmine to force Alfred Kingston to surrender his position in Vancouver," Lucas continued.

"We're negotiating with him now. Just hold tight, and victory will be ours." "Understood, Father," Calvin affirmed before ending the call.

He surveyed the room as his men collected weapons from the fallen guards. "Ten of you, keep an eye on them," he ordered, nodding toward the hostages. "The rest, secure this place. Block the entrances with our cars. We need to hold out for a few hours. Alfred will have no choice but to hand over his position."

Alongside his gangsters stood another force-Sinclair's special unit from Los Angeles-matching Kingston's own army in strength.

The situation was a stalemate.
