Scar-face ordered Luiz to play the bait—the perfect lure to draw out Dr. Eliezer Rivera. Luiz might not have been the ideal pawn, but his undeniable connection to the doctor was the only leverage they needed. After weeks of dead ends and frustrated scheming, fate had simply dropped the answer right into their laps. Without breaking eye contact, Scar-face snatched the phone from the table and pitched it straight at Luiz's chest.
"Call someone and ask them to bring Joaquin here," it was a demand in exchange for his life. "And you better hurry up cause I'm not very patient."
Luiz had no desire to lead another man to his death, but his own survival instinct screamed louder. His hands shook violently, the blood draining from his face as he held the phone. All he could do was pray his brother-in-law would track him down before these thugs put a bullet in his brain.
