Van Dyke quickly focused on the task at hand, checking his phone for the message Erik had previously sent him.
The message said that Richard was heading to the tunnel, and Van Dyke had already dispatched a trusted team to ensure his safe passage, but it said nothing about Volkov.
Erik went far beyond just saving Richard. He killed Volkov, and that was essentially a turning point in the overall situation. The broadcast also did a lot.
<Volkov died.I can't believe this…> Van Dyke and Fischer didn't think Volkov would have been at the prison, there were a lot of plans on how to kill the tyrant, but all of them were redundant anymore since Erik took care of him.
