Samuel Smith was taken aback when he heard a child laughing on the other end of the phone.
Throughout his life, he had never been afraid of anyone or anything. Yet at this moment, an intense chill crept up from his feet to his heart.
"Who... are you?" He also lowered his voice to ask the caller.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment before the voice replied with a question: "What do you think?"
Samuel Smith gritted his teeth, "You're... Hank Clegg's son."
"Even if you are right, no rewards for you, Uncle," Michael said on the other end of the phone.
"You've taken control of my subordinates?" Samuel Smith continued.
"What do you think?" Michael retorted, "Controlling a person is easy. Just point a gun at their head and make them say what I want them to."
"How is Rebecca?" Samuel Smith wanted to know if his sister was really injured and arrested.
