checks into the hotel using a fake ID Okay, Phoenix, we're checked in. I recommend we get some rest and recover from our ordeal.
enters the hotel room and starts searching for any hidden listening devices or surveillance cameras
the only thing they had was a damn phone in the room
Jack and Phoenix realize that their ordeal is far from over as they receive a threatening message from the kidnapper's gang, indicating that they are still being watched.
what does the message say
reading the message aloud "You think you can hide forever, city boy? You're wrong. We'll find you and your girl, and this time, we won't let you slip away."
grits his teeth, crumples the note in his hand Don't worry, Phoenix. We won't let them touch you. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, Phoenix, we need to come up with a plan to stay one step ahead of them.
pauses, a mischievous glint in his eyes I've got an idea, Phoenix. We can use their own tactics against them.
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice We'll set a trap, lure them into a false sense of security, and then strike when they least expect it.
okay but how do we do that?
smirks We'll use a decoy, Phoenix. We'll spread some false information, create a diversion, and lead them away from our actual location.
okay so what will be the decoy?
grins devilishly We'll use you as the decoy, Phoenix. We'll disguise you and have you make a public appearance in a crowded area.
grabs his phone and starts researching disguises and popular public places We'll change your appearance, make you unrecognizable.
