One thing Anthony has always observed about Adrian is that the more information he gives, the less control he has over the situation.
Knowing more has an opposite effect - one cannot do anything with the information they have other than follow through with what he wants. He is extremely cunning in this regard - knowledge, when it comes to him, is rarely considered power.
"So, what am I going to do...?" Anthony huffed, displeased with the situation.
"Sit around while everyone around me is in jeopardy?"
"Yes..." Adrian simply said.
"You have to stay with Mia."
"Not an option."
His voice takes on an unfamiliar edge. It falters for a brief moment - like a timed stutter, and it resumes again in mounting crescendo.
