Meanwhile, across town, Leon sat in his luxury apartment, the city lights twinkling outside his window. His mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of Isabella. The tension surrounding her investigation weighed heavily on him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was losing her to the shadows of her past.
He had heard about the incident with Mark and felt a surge of anger at the thought of Isabella being threatened. Determined to protect her, he picked up his phone, dialing Charlie's number.
"Charlie, it's Leon," he said, his voice urgent. "I need to know if Isabella is safe. I heard Mark was looking for her."
"She's with Derek, trying to get information," Charlie replied, his tone tense.
She's pushing ahead, but Mark's threats are real. We're doing everything we can to keep her safe, but it's getting dangerous. We just met up with Derek, and he's giving us more intel."
