I wore my bulletproof vest and tucked the gun close to my body. "I'm not even sure if giving you the gun is the right decision." Angus sighed and said, "Usually, they'll search you. So, you won't be able to keep that gun." Upon hearing his words, I paused briefly. "So, I suggest that you give up on this idea. Let my men handle the rescue," he said, sensing my hesitation. I shook my head. "No. But you have a point. Going in blindly might provoke them and put Mr. Ross in more danger. So, let's play along." Angus looked puzzled as I smiled faintly.
