I stood in Lillian's room, my heart pounding in my chest. The plan was risky, but it was the only way to confront Sarah and ensure her son was safe. I needed leverage, and taking her son would give me that.
"Lillian, we need to move fast. Sarah is leaving tomorrow. We can't afford any mistakes," I said, my voice firm.
Lillian nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I'll go to the security room now and prepare everything. You stay here and get ready."
I watched as she left the room, the gravity of what we were about to do sinking in. I couldn't afford to fail. For Justin, I had to succeed.
Minutes felt like hours as I waited. Finally, Lillian returned, her face flushed with excitement.
"The cameras are off. It's now or never," she whispered urgently.
I nodded and followed her down the corridor, my heart pounding louder with each step. We approached the room where Sarah's son was kept. Lillian gestured for me to wait as she knocked softly on the door.
