"Is that such a big deal?" he continued. "He's not dead. How could he possibly hold a grudge over something like that?

"Besides, we cleared his name and made him a hero. He should be thanking us, shouldn't he?" Simon said.

Then, he turned to Stephen and asked, "I thought you said you had him under control, that he couldn't escape your grasp?"

Stephen stammered nervously, "I don't know. Why would he abandon Ethan and run?"

All along, he had believed he truly had control over Howard, but it was clear he had been played. From the start, Howard had tricked him without him even noticing.

Simon cursed in frustration, "I never thought Howard Green would turn out to be such an ungrateful man! No, calling him 'ungrateful' doesn't even begin to describe it. He's a traitor, a backstabbing rat! We need to put out a warrant for him immediately."

Stephen asked, his voice shaking, "But what about Seaside City?"
