Adam kept looking at the email.
For a few seconds, he did not move.
'George?' Adam thought.
He read the message again.
Your police asset is with me. If you want him alive, listen to me.
George.
Adam's first reaction was not fear.
It was surprise.
'Has George gone mad?' Adam thought. 'What is he doing?'
Then another email arrived. Adam opened it.
If you want to save this asset, you will follow my words.
Then another came.
You used him. Now I have him.
More emails followed after that.
George did not write long messages. Every message was short and angry. He kept pushing the same demand again and again.
Adam's eyes became colder.
Rovan was in danger.
That much was clear.
But after the first shock passed, Adam's mind settled.
He took a deep breath.
'I don't care.' Adam thought.
The answer inside him was very clear.
Whether Rovan lived or died did not matter to him.
