She couldn't help but speak up, "Uncle Johns... could you slow down a bit?" "Shut up!" Johns snapped, glaring at her through the rearview mirror.

As Johns pulled up to his villa, he saw the front door wide open with men in black suits moving in and out. He slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car, and shouted, "Who gave you permission to move my stuff? Who sent you?" "This is your termination notice. We're simply following company protocol.
