Don Kregg swallowed hard, his anxiety threatening to overwhelm him. He fought to maintain a steady tone as he spoke, "Sir, it's urgent. I need to meet you at the location tonight." His voice cracked slightly, but he pressed on, his eyes darting between the pale man and the scarlet-haired lady, who observed his every move.
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, and Don Kregg's heart pounded in his chest. Then, Leo's voice came through, as collected as ever. "Understood. I'll be there. Don't keep me waiting."
"Yes sir!" Don Kregg responded calmly.
A sense of relief washed over Don Kregg, but he dared not show it. The pale man handed the phone back to him with a cold smile, his lips curling at the edges. "Well done. Your cooperation is noted."
