Eric was visibly fatigued, yet luck was on his side as one of his subordinates arrived just in time.

The vehicle slowed to a crawl rather than a complete stop, the door flinging open. “Mr. Flynn! Jump in!”

With momentum still carrying him, Eric hurled himself into the car, clumsily hitting his limbs as he did so.

He urgently gestured towards a van ahead, missing its license plate, as he fought to catch his breath. “Follow that van!”

“Right away, Mr. Flynn!”

Having issued the command, Eric grasped his chest, wincing from the sharp stings of pain caused by his rushed breathing.

Regaining some composure, he retrieved his phone to contact Phillips.

“What’s got you so flustered?” With a stern glare, the woman scolded him. “Show some backbone! You’re more frightened than a woman!”

Though her words were sharp, her own nerves were fraying.
