“What did you just say?! Something happened to my father?! Really?!”

Hector, fixated on the idea of his father’s demise, heard those words in a daze. His whole being was overwhelmed with uncontrollable excitement. When he responded, his emotions got the best of him.

Ricardo, on the other end of the line, couldn’t help but ask with some skepticism, “Hector, are you alright? Your father is in trouble. Why do you seem so pleased?”

At this moment, Hector snapped out of it, realizing he was indeed overly excited. Swiftly, he corrected himself, saying, “I didn’t wake up entirely. I dreamt just now that the Americans released my father, and I was ecstatic…”

Then, he quickly inquired, “Uncle Ricardo, you said something happened to my father. What’s going on?”

Ricardo swiftly responded, “I sent you a video. Please take a look!”

Hector promptly ended the call. After watching the video, where his father disclosed his near-death encounter, he almost jumped out of his skin with fear.

He had assumed Joseph hadn’t made a move yet, only to discover that Joseph had acted and failed. Thankfully, his father sought his help in the video, indicating he wasn’t aware of his son’s intentions to harm him, which offered Hector a shred of relief. It appeared that despite Joseph’s failure, at least he hadn’t betrayed him.

But what should Hector do now?

Continue seeking an opportunity to eliminate his father?

Or pretend he had just learned about all of this?
