Dragging two suitcases, Ivan took a deep sigh. "Don't bother. Don't you remember what Dad said last night! I was too harsh earlier, but I had no choice..." He shaded his eyes from the sun and asked. "It's too hot to walk to town. Should we just take a cab!"

"I need to tell Dad about this," und Kirsten. She knew Ivan was stressed about his 16 million debt and was adhering to David's directives, so she bit back her anger.

"Alright" Ivan conceded with a sigh.

He then hung up without hesitation. Holding the phone, Kirsten was stunned. After a long silence, she asked, "What do we do now, Ivan! Dad's not helping us!

"What? So he's leaving me with the debit Does he want me dead? Ivan pounded the pavement in frustration

"No, he's dealing with your debt. He said we should solve other problems ourselves. But where will we stay tonight without any money!" Kirsten was

Five years ago, their first attempt failed. David was curious about what tactics they would use against Mia next. More importantly, he wondered why they had targeted the Reeds but left him and his children untouched so far. A distant car horn snapped David out of his thoughts.
