Garrett's eyes flickered with uncertainty, but he didn't respond.

"You're loyal to Ruddy because you think he can protect you," Mike continued, his voice calm but firm. "But we can protect you too—if you help us."

Garrett laughed bitterly. "You think I'm going to betray him? That's suicide."

For a moment, Garrett was silent, his eyes darting between them as he weighed his options. The tension hung heavy in the air, and Kiara could feel the stakes rising with every second.

Finally, Garrett exhaled, his shoulders slumping slightly. "Fine. What do you want to know?"

Kiara's heart raced. This was it—the breakthrough they needed.
