James Marshall pressed his lips together tightly, his face cold, glaring menacingly at Jimmy Gordon.
Jimmy Gordon's lips curled up slightly, his voice icy as he slowly spoke, "Chief Daniel Marshall gives you one day to consider. He knows you are looking for Grace Martinez. If you can't find her, you lose!"
"..."
"What would your son think if he knew that his father is a hypocrite?"
"..."
"Chief Daniel Marshall asked me to tell you that if you aren't willing to negotiate, he'll call the police."
"..."
James Marshall didn't reply, but his body stiffened momentarily, brief flickers of emotion flashing across his dark eyes.
It was not his wife that he feared, but rather, he was worried for his son.
Clearly, Daniel Marshall had found his Achilles' heel.
This was a difficult decision, and James was somewhat conflicted, not immediately revealing his stance as he closed his eyes in deep thought.
