Chapter 83: Safely Release Stress

Jase

I checked my phone for the hundredth time. Still no reply from Ransom on either of his phones or his smartwatch. It’s sinking in that he is missing.

Damn it, Hound. Where are you? Please let him be okay.

My burner phone digs with an unknown number.

I opened the message to find a picture of Ransom strapped to a metal bed frame with zip ties. His skirt is hiked up, and his underwear is pulled to his knees. He is in the background, and in the foreground is Razor Grothman with a rictus on his face.

Next comes the message, which reads,

Unknown: Lookie what I found, Jasey. Your assassin is all mine now. If you want him back whole and not in pieces, you must do something for lil’ ol’ me.
