"And none of your families has enough influence within the powerful people in the government to make an entire system stop everything else and search only for you three," he continued. "As for the location of this phone…" His eyes briefly travelled towards the device lying on the sofa. "If you believe finding a phone means finding its owner, you have watched too many films." He allowed the words to settle before turning towards the door.
"Sleep well."
Cassian left Silviya, Ronny and Kevin behind, with the hope he had deliberately given them only moments earlier now turning into another source of fear.
Mark followed him out and remained several steps behind until they returned to Cassian's office. Only after the door closed did he speak.
"Boss, when are you planning to announce that you are back?"
"Soon."
Cassian took out his phone and dialled the number of the Crown Palace butler.
The call was answered almost immediately.
"Sir!"
