S31 67. Don’t Let Your Guard Down

Frank blinked, thinking harder. “Maybe we should tighten up Barbara’s security too. There’s the potential for the Moores to think of her as my mother’s weakness.”

“That makes sense.”

“And one more thing,” Frank’s index finger pointed up, “your mother.”

“My mom?” Jeremy’s eyes widened.

Frank put on an innocent look. “You’ve slept with the Moore family’s favorite daughter. Is there any reason for them to let you off the hook?

Seeing his brother talking without turning around, Frank snorte amusement. He seemed to see his old self in him.

“No wonder he liked to tease me. Turns out it’s fun.”

He liked to secretly stalk his prey, waiting until his target was off guard and then ambushing without warning. Frank didn’t want to be caught off guard.

“We’re only going away for a while, Ava. Maybe only two hours.” Emily straightened her index and middle fingers.

“Plus the travel time can be four hours,” Ava smiled crookedly. “Let’s go another time, when my mother is awake.”
