Damien stood before Bret, "Levi led the rescue operation," he reported. "He found her in the nick of time, the kidnapper got killed."
Bret chuckled, a dark, sinister sound. "The hero, huh? It is very interesting to see my brother as the protector." He said.
"Can't we pin the kidnapper's death to him? That would get him into trouble." Damien said excitedly.
"That will not stick, I am sure he will find a way to get out of that." Bret waved the idea away. "However, I am glad to see that Lyse has survived and buying that debt was not a waste of my time."
Damien grinned, his mind racing. "You are so brilliant boss, you predicted it correctly. So are we going to immediately strike?"
Bret considered this. "No, that is too risky and too soon. It could backfire. We need a more subtle approach. We need to make Levi think that he is winning, only to snatch victory from his grasp."
