His hands, hanging by his sides, balled into fists, and his gaze was cold enough to freeze anyone who dared meet it. His voice was low as he said, "Listen up! If Nadine loses even a single hair, you won't get a dime!" At that point, Brad started to believe that the other party was telling the truth. His mind was filled with images of Nadine being held captive, and panic began to set in.

I'm working on it, so just hang tight for me!" Before she could respond, Brad hung up, walked over to Adam, who was sitting in the rocking chair, and filled him in on the details.
Adam, in his panic, tumbled out of his chair. Luckily, Brad was quick on his feet and managed to catch him before he hit the floor. Once he regained his balance, Adam shoved Brad aside, his face flushed with anger.

Brad knew the clock was ticking and didn't waste any more time. He gave Adam one final look before turning to leave "I don't know who's behind this, but I swear I'll bring Nadine back safely.
