"I have a subtle feeling Toby prepared that story." Ivor could not explain why, but that was what he felt. It bugged him throughout his conversation with Toby. It was so intense that Ivor could not shake it off. "What do you mean?" Floyd was puzzled.

After some thought, Ivor answered, "He sounded too cautious. People usually speak casually instead of how he just sounded."

Floyd thought nothing was wrong with that, saying, "Maybe he was just nervous that you suddenly called him. He could've been telling you the truth all along."

Floyd devised an idea for his boss, "That was just my opinion on it, Mr. Ivor. If you're still worried, you should pressure Toby to ask your wife to call you once he reaches the research institute.

"I know Ms. Bonnie is occupied with her research, but I'm willing to bet a harmless phone call won't bother her."

Ivor nodded in approval. "All right, I'll ask him to tell Bonnie to call me if she can."
