chapter 82; Rushing to the airport

The dimly lit room was punctuated by the sound of rapid tapping on a phone screen as Ethan feverishly dialed his brother's number, it was obvious that he had just returned to the office and was thinking of the next Line of action."hello" he answered his voice cold as He had no time for pleasantries or reprimands this morning, and he needed James to act swiftly.

"Hello," came a lazy, groggy voice from the other end of the phone, indicating that James had just been roused from sleep. Under normal circumstances, Ethan might have chided him for his laziness, but the urgency of the situation left no room for such niceties.

Ethan got straight to the point, his voice devoid of its usual warmth and patience. "I want you to catch the next flight here," he told James, his words cutting through the morning drowsiness that clung to his brother.

James, sensing that something was wrong judging from the sound of Ethan's voice , jolted upright in his bed. He knew that something was terribly wrong, With a sense of urgency, he asked the question that hung heavy in the air, "Is there a problem?"

Ethan's response was chilling in its simplicity. "Emily and Mia have been kidnapped," he declared, the words heavy and calm.

The abruptness of Ethan's words left James in a daze, realising the gravity of the situation in the tone of Ethan's voice . But it was a fleeting moment of uncertainty before he sprang into action. He leaped out of bed, his heart pounding with a mix of dread and determination. In a rush, he snatched his wallet and bolted for the door, his feet carrying him in a frenzied dash to the airport.

Gone was the lazy and sleeping attitude of James as it was replaced with a fierce and steely gaze that seemed to peer deep into the soul.

James didn't have the luxury of time to change out of his pajamas or gather his belongings. The urgency of the situation demanded his immediate attention. With each step he took toward the airport, the reality of the situation sank in, and he knew that he had to put whatever case he was handling as an investigator aside and come back before the situation gets out of hand

because he knew that Ethan is terrifying when he became calm so that means a storm is brewing and this is the calm before the storm
