Chapter 4 - The Poisoned Blood
Jason frantically unbuckled his seatbelt and practically climbed into the back seat of the dark SUV.
He gently wiped the thick blood from Liam's trembling upper lip using his expensive silk tie.
Lucas let out a weak, agonizing whimper as he curled his small body into a tight ball of pure pain.
Jason's brilliant analytical mind raced as he completely realized what was happening to his innocent sons.
They had not caught a sudden winter illness on the freezing streets of New York.
The syndicate had deliberately injected them with a slow-acting, highly lethal synthetic poison before letting them go to his office.
Jason aggressively grabbed the burner phone from the front seat and violently dialed the blocked number.
The distorted voice answered on the absolute first ring with a sickeningly cheerful tone.
"Are the little bastards starting to turn purple yet, Jason?"
Jason screamed into the cheap plastic phone with a purely feral, terrifying rage he had never known before.
"If either of my sons dies, I will personally hunt down every single person in your entire organization."
The mysterious caller simply laughed loudly, completely unfazed by the violent corporate threat.
"You have exactly three hours before their tiny organs completely shut down forever."
The caller confidently explained that the only existing antidote was currently located at a private biotech facility in Queens.
"Bring the decrypted gold drive to the main laboratory, and we will kindly trade the cure for the data."
The line went dead again, leaving Jason sitting in the freezing, dark vehicle with his dying children.
He quickly pulled his secure corporate laptop from the trunk and plugged the strange gold drive directly into it.
The screen flashed red before aggressively decrypting a massive hidden file named Project Meridian.
Jason's jaw completely dropped as he stared at the financial ledgers actively scrolling across the bright screen.
The documents conclusively proved that his massive corporate humanitarian fund was actually a front for international arms dealing.
Maya had found the horrific truth five years ago and bravely stolen the master drive to expose them.
Jason aggressively shoved the laptop away and slammed his foot entirely down on the gas pedal.
He violently drove the heavy armored SUV directly toward the industrial sector of Queens at terrifying speeds.
He completely ignored every red light and traffic signal, entirely focused on saving his dying boys.
He finally arrived at the massive, heavily fortified gates of the private biotech laboratory.
Jason grabbed a heavy metal tire iron from the trunk and forcefully smashed the electronic keypad to open the gates.
He carried the weak, barely conscious twins into the dark, silent lobby of the massive medical building.

It was his trusted corporate lawyer, David, smiling wickedly in the dim emergency lighting.
