Thrown off guard, Asher hastily shoves his hand into his backpack, burying the syringe beneath his things.
"How the hell?!"
Adrian shrugs nonchalantly, looking somewhat indifferent. He meets his gaze before saying, "I have my connections, and I want you to do it."
Asher feels his heart stop then. He can't believe what he's hearing right now.
"What?" he breathed.
"You heard me..." he muttered, unwavering.
"Do it."
Asher curses out loud, looking away. Adrian remains firm and still, which perplexes him even more. This isn't what he's expecting at all.
"Listen, I think your wife's disappearance is making you delusional. Maybe I should report you and put you under suicide watch."
That seems to amuse Adrian a bit. With a small smile tugging at his lips, he continues, "I'm not suicidal, Asher. I'm just making the choice for you. I can see your indecision from miles away. You're not exactly good at hiding it."
