We didn't run far away when the door was open. A group of men in white coats chased after us with weapons in their hands.
I felt scared.
"Run. I will block their way." Either of us should have a successful escape.
"No! Let's run away together. How can I watch you get caught?"
"Find Carroll to save me. I am afraid that he won't be so scrupulous about the rescue operation if you are the hostage."
It wasn't a joke. I knew Carroll and Sol well. Carroll was a businessman, and he wouldn't take the risk for those people who were insignificant to him.
George was Allen's son. He would be in danger if Carroll refused to save him or became hesitant about the rescue operation.
I knew that this arrangement was selfish and that it might bring danger and loss to Carroll.
However, I had to do so because he was George.
George was Allen's only offspring in this world.
When George was still hesitant, I ran back to block the way of those chasers.
"Run! Don't waste my efforts!"
George finally ran away.
