«You have quite a spirit. Who said he was busy?

Nicole replied, "If you're willing to talk, then let's have the room to ourselves."

Mr. Hampton, amused, commented: “It seems you want a little privacy with me. Of course, I'll play along." He signaled for the others to leave.

Melissa, who had been clinging to him, whimpered, “Mr. Hampton, can't I stay with you?

Melissa collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with tears of agony. He cast a bitter look at Nicole.

Nicole replied: "I certainly wouldn't have it on me. Show me the papers and I will guide you to the place where they can be safely destroyed.

Mr. Hampton narrowed his eyes. “And why should I believe you?”

Nicole replied, "I don't trust you either. "When there is mutual distrust, the one who has the upper hand sets the conditions."

"You do have a way with words." Mr. Hampton laughed.

Suddenly, his tone changed. “Grab her!”
