"For now, let's block that bitch. She's the reason for everything," he muttered, shaking his head in disbelief.

Daisy, thoroughly confused, followed him. "Who?"

"Someone who can bring me out… and also pull me back in." He smiled again and pressed a button on the phone. "Finally, I'm getting closer to freedom."
