His breathing became rapid, bloodshot eyes narrowing as he said, "I can get the money. But you must assure me of the hostage's safety."

The call ended, and Maxwell looked up at Theodore and Silvan.
"Do either of you have a way to keep Adrian in check? I mean, ensuring the hostage's safety without paying the ransom."
