“Mr. Hanson, is that actually illegal?” Barry asked with genuine curiosity.

Jeffrey didn’t bother with a proper answer. He just waved them off. “Take this guy to the police station and dig into his background. Anyone bold enough to take a job like this probably isn’t a first–timer.”

“On it!” Barry and Tommy got to work right away.

“I can’t go to the police station!” the truck driver said in a panic. “I admit I was wrong. I’m really sorry. I’ll apologize to Ms. Jensen. I swear I’ll never do this again.”

Jeffrey didn’t spare him a glance. He got up and brushed past the driver, totally indifferent.

If he hadn’t called Rebecca by chance, something terrible could’ve happened today. He couldn’t shoulder that kind of consequence, nor would he ever accept it.

“Mr. Hanson!” the truck driver cried out desperately.

“Stop yelling,” Tommy and Barry said as they dragged him out. “Once Mr. Hanson makes up his mind, yelling your lungs out won’t change a thing. Just come clean at the station. Maybe that’ll shave a couple of years off your sentence.”

The driver wanted to retort, but he thought that with Jeffrey’s skills, digging up all the shady things he’d done would be a piece of cake. Panic started flooding in from the pit of his stomach.

Jeffrey slid into the back seat and ordered the chauffeur, “Head to Rebecca’s Manor.”

Riley, who’d been pulled in at the last minute and was riding shotgun, turned to him. “Aren’t we going after Richard? He’s heading straight to the airport–pretty sure he’s planning to bolt.”

Jeffrey called Stanley. “Make sure Richard doesn’t get on that plane.”

Stanley replied, “Got it.”

Riley rested her chin in her hand. “If we’re not going after him, why’d you even call me over?”

“Just in case,” Jeffrey replied, his tone serious–almost annoyingly so. “If something happens, I want you close so I can hear from you right away. If you’re not around, I might not be able to get a hold of you.”

Riley thought, ‘He really does get me, doesn’t he?‘ Riley let it slide for once, quietly accepting his reasoning.

“Keep an eye on Richard,” Jeffrey said plainly. “If he heads to the Hanson residence, let me know.”

“Got it,” Riley replied, no hesitation.
