Three Long Years

"What do you mean you cannot take my son out of that place?!" 

"We could. But we need time. Bureaucracy and your son weren't making things easy for us, Governor." 

The two men stared at each other. The other was visibly angry and worried while the other man was wearing a blank expression. After all, he was just sent over to deliver a message. He did not really care if the young man stayed in jail for another day or not. 

"How soon can you bring my son home?" He asked with resignation. He tried using his own power to take his son home but he failed. Hence, he asked for a favor from the Triad and they said they could help his son. He was expecting that when he asked for a favor, they could make it happen but even they were saying that it would take a few days.
