THE PROJECT: Rescue Lily

The dim light of Roberto's room cast shadows on the faces of the two brothers as they anxiously awaited Philips' call.

They had been expecting Philips to call since morning but now it was already evening and he had yet to call. Tension filled the air, and the silence between them seemed to stretch endlessly. The room felt like a cocoon, shielding them from the uncertainty that loomed outside.

Finally, the phone buzzed, shattering the stillness. Jack's phone buzzed on the worn-out coffee table, interrupting the shadows of the evening at home. He glanced at the screen, not surprised to see Philips' name flashing across it. With a quick swipe, he answered the call.

"Jack, it's Philips. I need your attention," came Philips' urgent voice through the phone.

"Tell me what's going on? I have been waiting for you to call since morning. Why the delay?" Jack asked, a sense of apprehension settling in.
