As Danny ended the call, his jaw tightened. “They said they’ll ‘get back to us,’” he muttered to Marie, trying to keep his frustration in check. Marie looked at him with worried eyes. “I don’t think that’s likely. I was hoping they’d be able to do something right away,” she said, her voice filled with both disappointment and lingering fear.
The anger bubbled inside him, his heart pounding with a mix of fury and determination. “They messed with the wrong family,” he muttered, his features hardening with resolve. He pulled out his phone, immediately dialing his friend Alex, who worked in cybersecurity.
