Lucas began to read, his excitement quickly curdling into disbelief.
"This report details eight failures, Father," Lucas said, his voice tightening. "Eight assassination attempts since his arrival. The first involved a knife in the communal showers; his tall guard, Jason, took a glancing cut to the shoulder while disarming the attacker. Another time, a garrote attempt during a cell block transition was spotted by a man named José, who yelled and tripped the assailant."
Lucas flipped the page, his eyes scanning the chilling details. "We tried poison—Cyanide—in the mess hall dinner on two separate occasions, but both failed. The report notes that an informant from the kitchen staff alerted Antonio, who managed to switch Ethan's tray just before he ate. Because of this, the report specifies that Ethan now only eats food prepared by his own men, using their own limited supplies."
