Chapter 63 Desperation Sets In

• The dimly lit hallway seemed to close in around Jason as he stood frozen, his eyes fixed on the two men who had just arrived at his doorstep. The air was thick with tension, and the only sound was the distant hum of the TV in the living room.
• “Good...Good day, what can I help you with today?” Jason stuttered, his voice barely above a whisper. He shook the tall man's hand, his palm sweating with anxiety.
• The short man stepped forward and brought out his shiny white ID card once again, showing Jason who stood rooted at the doorway after getting their identity. He had been avoiding this visit for a few days now, who knew they would come to visit so late at night? It's like they have been hiding somewhere secretly just for his arrival.
