Thomas McBerg was sitting in his office when the phone rang. "Driiing". "Driiing". He knew who was on the other side of the line. He knew what would wait for him today, and he knew he didn't wanna do it. He would rather be sitting in his office all day, and think about her.
"Hello", Thomas said.
"Thomas?" was the response from a woman who's voice was shaky.
"Ingrid, is it really you?", Thomas replied.
"Yes, it is me who calls you on this perfect day. They found it, they struck the motherload."
Thomas thought about what that would mean for the family. If this is true what she is saying, then he didn't need to worry no more.
"That is so nice to hear Ingrid" Thomas was almost crying.
"You know that this all comes with a price?"
"A price?!" Thomas replied.
"Yes, the price of being marked for life"
"I didn't think about it until you said it. Of course we're going to be marked. Of course the eyes will be on us forever."
"You are willing to risk it for the good life?" Ingrid noticed his voice was whispering.
"I have to call you back Ingrid!" He hook up the phone and went straight out of the window of his office. 2 black clothed guys stormed into the office at once, and Thomas was flying down the firestairs. He didn't think about it twice but left straight as he saw the shadows in the glass in his office doors. He ran so fast he almost fell over the side. Then he heard two gunshots fired from up above. He halted creeping besides the wall. Then he jumped inside of an open window. He heard the two guys run down the firestairs. Thomas saw the door ahead of him in an unknown office 5 floors below his office. He thougth quickly and opend the door. When the other guys came down, and looked inside the office window, Thomas McBerg was nowhere to be found.

Ingrid McBerg was on the other side of the phone really scared about her older brother. She didn't know anything what had happened. She only heard him yell that he would call her back and hung up the phone. She suspected the Twins right away. She was dialing a number in a panic. Only he could help her out of this mess.
