“Understood.” Natalie nodded before she got back to the call. “Didn't you say that Harrison contacted Susan? What did he tell her?”

“I've no idea as he won't let me listen in. But Harrison called me over afterward and asked to have the police brought to his ward at two in the afternoon tomorrow,” Jared replied.

Natalie pursed her lips. “Bring the police to his ward? What's he up to?”

Shane also had his eyes on the phone.

“I'm not sure about that, but he seemed quite serious about it. Determined too. So I guess he must be plotting something. Should I play along, Nat?” Jared asked.

Natalie turned to Shane. “What do you think, Darling?”

“Do it.” Shane assented. “Whatever he has in mind, he can't touch us with the police around.”

“True, that.” Natalie saw the rationale of it and spoke back into the phone. “Go ahead, and tell Harrison that we'll be there.”

“Okay. I'm going to hang up now.” Jared grunted.

Once the call concluded, Shane went on to open the car door. “Let's head back first. The kids must be missing us by now.”
