"What about the lords of the cartel? Were you able to get them? All of them?" Jade asked, holding her breath as she placed a hand on the left part of her chest, which felt like her heart was about to shoot out from it.
"Yes. They were four. Two amongst them are dead. They were gunned down while trying to escape. One is in the hospital, and the last one is in our custody," the person on the other end of the phone informed her, and Jade's breath came in a whoosh of relief.
"That's great. I'm so glad this is almost over," Jade said happily as she let herself collapse on the bed. Now she didn't have to worry about anything or keep looking over her shoulders.
"It's not over. Don't let your guard down. By the way, they were supposed to be five. One of them is missing," he said, referring to Cassidy.
"Oh, yeah! That's true. I suppose he was not present at the meeting?" Jade asked, pretending not to know about Cassidy's disappearance.
