Upon arriving at the hospital, they rushed David inside, his small frame looking frail against the sterile surroundings. The urgency of the situation was evident as they were quickly ushered into an examination room. Nurses and doctors bustled around, tending to other patients, but for Drake and Kate, their world had narrowed down to the bed where their son lay. Drake's anxiety only grew as he watched the medical staff work diligently to assess David's condition. Kate held his hand tightly, offering silent support as they waited for answers. Finally, a doctor approached them with a gentle smile. "We've started David on antibiotics to bring down his fever," the doctor explained. "We'll be monitoring him closely and running some tests to determine the cause of his illness." Drake nodded, his voice he

He finally reached Jeff's mansion, a modest apartment building nestled among others. The neighborhood was quieter, a stark contrast to the busy city center he had just left behind. He parked his car and took a moment to collect his thoughts, his hands gripping the steering wheel as he contemplated the path he was about to take. With a deep breath, he stepped out of the car and approached the entrance of the building.

Jeff's smile faded slightly as he nodded. "Yeah, it wasn't easy. But I'm here now, trying to piece things back together." Simon turned his attention to Drake, extending his hand with a friendly grin. "And who's this? A new friend?" Jeff introduced them, his voice laced with gratitude. "Simon, this is Drake. He's a lawyer, and he's been helping me out with some things." Drake shook Simon's hand with a confident smile. "Nice to meet you, Simon." Simon's eyes twinkled with curiosity as he gestured towards a nearby bench. "Come, let's sit and catch up. I've got some wine here if you're interested." They settled on the bench, the three of them forming a small circle. Simon poured glasses of wine and handed them out, the clinking of glasses accompanied by a sense of camaraderie. Simon leaned back, taking a sip of his wine before leaning forward with a friendly grin. "So, Jeff, tell me, how's life been treating you after all these years?" Jeff took a deep breat

Once inside, they all took their seats, the tension in the room palpable. Jeff finally broke the silence, introducing Drake to the group. "He's the man I was telling you about," Jeff said, nodding towards Drake. "He's a hero like me." Drake felt a mix of emotions swirling within him—shock, intrigue, and a sense of camaraderie. He hadn't expected to find a group of men armed with weapons and hidden in a place like this. Yet, their connection to Jeff gave him a sense of reassurance. He turned to Simon, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You must be used to working behind the scenes," Drake remarked, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "I like that." Drake was ready to join forces with these men, each one driven by their own motives and experiences. The weapons and equipment laid bare the seriousness of their mission, and Drake knew he was now part of something much larger than himself. And as Drake looked around the room, he knew he was in the compan

Drake's lips twitched into a smile as he looked between Jeff and Simon. "Indeed," he agreed, a newfound confidence in his voice. "Let's see what we can do, together." Simon and Jeff exchanged a knowing look, their expressions inscrutable as they stepped away from the table, their footsteps muffled by the background noise of the garage. They conferred in hushed tones, their words hidden from Drake's ears. He watched them with a sense of anticipation, wondering what was being discussed between the two. Simon's brow furrowed slightly as he questioned Jeff, his voice low but probing. "Do you trust him?" he inquired, his gaze steady as he met Jeff's eyes. Jeff leaned against a nearby car, his arms crossed over his chest. He regarded Simon with a thoughtful expression before responding, his voice equally quiet. "He's an old friend, someone I've known for a long time. I trust him, even though he's taken a different path in life." Simon's lips curved into a half-smile,
