The dim lighting in the bar seemed to closing in around me. Marcelo gave me a look that suggested he wanted us to go to the person. I took out my phone and dialed Thomas's contact, my heart pounding in anticipation. As soon as it connected, I instructed him to take some men to the airport and stop Alex before he left. I needed to know what or who he was running from. The sound of the phone call ended, and I turned to Marcelo. "Hey, come here," Marcelo called the bartender, who had returned to mix another drink.

The production site would secretly pump more euphorix into the beverages bearing Brown's name. That would mean instant death for whoever consumed it. And that was exactly what I plan on doing, pay some people to consume it. I chuckled to myself, my eyes fixed on Melissa. "Damn, you're a masterpiece," I whispered, my voice low and husky.
