Mitchel remained silent, allowing Katies desperate cries to echo around them.
The louder Katie screamed, the more Lorenzo believed she was trying to clear her own name. Clearly, she understood his way of operating, which explained her palpable fear. After all, they had collaborated on several occasions.

The two men in black subdued Mitchel easily, partly because Mitchel did not attempt to resist, recognizing that this was not the moment to fight. Katies recent revelations have forced changes to many previously laid plans.
Previously fearless, Mitchel realized he wasnt prepared to meet his end so suddenly. According to Luis, he had only two months left to live. With the recent knowledge of Raegans pregnancy, he contemplated using the medicine provided by Katie to extend his life slightly, just long enough to witness the birth of his children and pass away without regrets. However, he would not disturb Raegan. He planned to observe from a discreet distance, satisfied as long as she remained unharmed.
This motivation strengthened Mitchels determination to assist the special forces in apprehending Lorenzo. Ensuring Lorenzos capture was crucial for the safety of Raegan and their children.
Mitchel had already worked with the special forces to implement Plan A for capturing Lorenzo, but Lorenzo was shrewd.
Lorenzos reach extended deeper than they had realized, cleverly managing to plant explosives at the venue right under the noses of the special forces.

Additionally, as soon as Lorenzo and his men entered, Mitchels communication with the special forces through a hidden earpiece was cut off, suggesting they were using jamming devices.
Mitchel watched Lorenzo closely, understanding that wouldnt kill Katie right then and there, but he also wouldnt delay for long.
Lorenzo approached Katie, bent down slightly, and courteously took her hand and kised it softly. Miss Glyn, I never thought wed meet again like this, he said.
Katie urgently said, Listen, Lorenzo, dont do anything rash. Im not the woman he loves. This is all a setup to trick you.
Lorenzo ignored her frantic pleas entirely. He was an incredibly arrogant man. Once he had decided on something, no argument could change his mind, and he firmly believed in acting decisively rather than risking letting someone escape.
Thus, the gentle tone Lorenzo used just moments before turned sinister instantly.
Click! In a terrifying display, Lorenzo snapped five of Katies fingers.
Ah! Ah! Katies screams nearly broke the windows and seemed to reach the ceiling.
Lorenzo then signaled to a man in black, who promptly brought out a hammer and two long nails.
To keep up the charade, Mitchel, his face ghostly white, seemingly a picture of deep concern for Katie, yelled, What are you trying to do? Dont hurt her. I wont let you hurt her!
Pain silenced Katie, her face etched with shock and fear.
Lorenzo responded to Mitchels plea with even greater madness in torturing Katie. He positioned a nail against Katies foot and raised the hammer dramatically.
Ah! Katies scream filled the room, a genuine cry of excruciating pain.
When the hammer struck, Katie felt like it directly hit her heart.
Her well-maintained face twisted, showing an expression of grotesque fear.
The intense pain made her almost bite through her tongue. But she restrained herself. Instead, she bit her arm to endure the agony.
It was not that Katie didnt want to explain. But Lorenzo was too fast. He was ruthlessly efficient in tormenting a person. The entire process was fast and precise, giving her no chance to speak.
