Ransom Center Austin Novels & Stories

“Austin’s family was drowning in debt. To pay it off, he was pressured into working as a courier for the cartel. Because he attended an elite school on scholarship, they used him to reach wealthy students. Rich teenagers make easy customers.” A bitter taste rose in my throat. “Through him, Priscilla learned about the cartel,” Warren said. “She was not directly involved in distribution, but she followed him into increasingly dangerous places. That includes the illegal racing site where both of them were arrested.” I remembered that night all too clearly. “Austin had no money or influence to get himself out,” Warren continued. “Priscilla decided to contact the cartel herself, believing she cou

I assumed when we got called down here, that there was an abundance of cop cars again, but knowing Torque, he most likely just found something, which still has me feeling anxious. "What's going on? Your message sounded important." Austin says as we enter the clubhouse. A few of the brothers are there milling around and one of the new prospects is cleaning. "It is. Sorry I couldn't explain over the phone, but I still don't know if someone is wiretapping our phones." We walk in one at a time into the room designated for church and sit down. Austin in his chair in the middle, me to his right, Max to his left. Torque remains standing, never one to be able to sit still very long.

Settled in the Weitheimer's house, Austin has been moved to the house after he woke up the hospital was rewarded by Maximum the eldest son of the family, immediately he has ordered a new building for the hospital as its headquarters and promised them it won't be in his name, he also gave them countless millions of dollars in their account, dish a small house becoming big overnight.

Mr Andrews said, Austin could literally feel his heart in his mouth. "I won't deny the fact that you have really committed a grave crime. But the fact, that you were able to confess it, and come clean, it's something that I'm really proud of. So.. I will let you keep your job, in this hospital. On two conditions, that you repay the 600$ that you stole, and also go to a rehabilitation center and get yourself cured from your drug addiction. Are you okay with it?." Mr Andrew asked, staring at Austin intently.

“We can still order dumplings and talk shit about your father from the safety of our illegally cheap apartment.” Ava pulls her hood tighter and steps up to the ledge. Across the street, the Axiom glows like a high-end spa—pale wood, frosted glass, and soft interior light. On the surface, it’s a wellness club for the rich. Underneath, it’s where the worst people in the city auction off sins and call them investments. “Send me the node again,” Ava murmurs. Cass grumbles, keys clacking faintly over the comm. “You’re lucky I love you enough to break into the kind of server farm that could buy and sell my soul.”

His grin widened when he saw them. “This him?” Austin Hale asked. Andrew nodded. “Yeah. He saved my ass earlier.” Austin Hale whistled. “Well, damn. Not every day someone takes out a gang single-handed.” His gaze shifted to Casey. “Name?” “Does it matter?” she shot back. Austin Hale chuckled. “Feisty. I like that.” She didn’t smile. Her patience was wearing thin. “Look, if this is some scam—” “It’s not,” Austin Hale interrupted, raising both hands in mock surrender. “This place is legit. Think of it as... an opportunity.”

“Well, what do you say? Want the chance to win some of your money back?” “Who’s taking Shawn’s money?” We both looked up to see Austin coming into the room. He was Ferrin’s gamma and head of security. He had come up to introduce himself the first day Ferrin had gone to Paslow. “Turns out our Luna is a bit of a card sharp.” “Oh, really?” Austin asked. “Well, deal me in.” He took the seat next to Shawn. “What’s the buy-in?”

Those men better hope I never find them. Austin said he was so angry and scared of Ruby when he found out these men took him because she ordered them to do so. He said she was acting strange, and he did not like it. Ruby had told him she was going to get Carter and Molly, and they all were moving to Paris. He said he was trying to think of a way to escape, but was afraid she would get his brother and sister before he could warn someone of her plans. He made me promise not to let her take him or his siblings ever again. "I want you to be my mama from now on. My mama is a evil bad lady." Austin had said wiping tears from his eyes.

Austin helped Max plan the murder.”The color drains from her face. “Oh my God. The man who hired me to betray you tried to kill your parents?”“Yes.”“And you knew this. When I signed the contract. When you gave me those access codes.” Her voice rises. “You knew I was working for a murderer?”“I did.”She stands, pacing like a caged animal. “This is insane. This is absolutely insane. I need to call my mother. I need to!!”“Your phone is compromised. Austin can track it.” I pull out a burner phone. “Use this. But Mia? Don’t tell her where you are. Don’t tell her anything that could put her in danger.”She takes the phone with trembling hands. Dials. “Mom? It’s me. No, I’m fine. I just needed to hea

“Come on, let’s go get your revenge.” He had gotten news that Magnus left West State last night and had already arrived at South River State. The upcoming auction would surely be a party. Dallas Moneylender rented the exhibition center for the auction, which was the same place where Rove held their investment auction. Kaze did not grant any backdoor access to Dallas Moneylender to rent the place, nor did he inform the city council about the auction. Even though Dallas Moneylender Lilyrose Branch had been eliminated, their influence in the city remained strong.
