Chapter 12 Alan Norwood

• As Kai walked into his room with Tony and a few of his men trailing behind, a stern expression etched across his face, Tony mustered the courage to speak up. "Kai...," he called out softly, but received no response. Kai's silence persisted until he reached his table, where he leaned against it and faced Tony with an unreadable expression.
• "Now, explain the mess you created out there!" Kai demanded, his voice filled with frustration. Tony sighed deeply, realizing the gravity of his mistake. "I'm sorry, Kai. I should have informed you earlier," he admitted, regret lacing his voice.
• Kai's anger flared as he raised his voice, reminding Tony of the consequences of his actions. "You know that wasn't the plan. I sent you to retrieve Becca, not to take a life!" he shouted, his disappointment palpable. Tony shrugged, a gesture weighted with remorse. "Becca was causing a scene, and he discovered us. I couldn't risk getting caught, so I had to defend us. I apologize for my carelessness," Tony explained.
