Senior Marcus Lanzo's eyes locked onto Agent Thompson's, his mind racing with questions. How deep was his son involved in the plot? Who were the leaders, and what was their ultimate goal?
Agent Thompson seemed to sense his questions and nodded. "We'll get to all of that, Mr. Lanzo. But first, we need to take care of something more pressing."
He paused, glancing around the room before focusing on Lilian. "Mrs. Lanzo, we need to take your daughter into protective custody."
Lilian's eyes widened in alarm. "What? Why?"
Agent Thompson's expression turned grim. "We have reason to believe that the leaders of the plot may try to use her as leverage to get to you, Mr. Lanzo. We can't let that happen."
Senior Marcus Lanzo felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Agent Thompson was right. His daughter was in danger, and he had to do everything in his power to protect her.
