In the phone call, Liam stated two conditions. No guns were allowed, and Ryan had to go by himself.

"Justin, Bella, Captain Ralph, I'm leaving this to all of you. I'll meet Liam." Ryan quickly spun around and rushed out the door without a second thought. "Ryan!" Justin cried out, his heart full of anguish, as he grabbed him. "This is a trap Liam set up. He could kill you. You can't go by yourself!" Ryan replied with a bitter smile, "He wants me dead."

Bella spoke firmly. "Ryan, we'll go with you. We can set up an ambush and wait for the right moment to rescue Carrie and Yasmin.”

Ryan shook his head. "Thank you, Bella. But I can't gamble with their lives. If my life can ensure Carrie and Yasmin's safety, it's worth it." Bella's eyes were filled with tears, and Justin's heart sank.

"Ryan," Ralph said, his eyes filled with determination. He stepped forward and opened his palm, revealing an extremely small tracking device. "Please wear this on your body and stay in contact with the police. I'll handle things from here."

Ryan's pale lips quivered as he took the device. "Thank you."

"Whether it's you, Carrie, or Yasmin, you must all come back safe and sound." Ralph took a deep breath and gave a warm, reassuring smile. "I'm worried about you. It's not just Bella and Justin waiting for you, but also me!"

Ryan was briefly taken aback, but then gave Ralph a warm smile and patted his shoulder reassuringly.
