Natalie froze for a moment. Johnson? Wasn’t that Sharon’s attending physician? So when Sharon had sent people to smash my hand, Johnson actually knew Phantom? Not only that, he had even called Phantom–told him not to save me? But why?

She had never even met Johnson, never had any conflict with him.

Why would he target me? Natalie couldn’t make sense of it.

Baron’s brows were furrowed tight as well.

“I understand. I’ll keep digging into this. From now on, don’t call me unless it’s absolutely necessary; I don’t want anyone on the other side growing suspicious.”

“Yes, Mr. Baron.”

Finn hung up.

Catching Natalie’s questioning look, Baron explained Phantom’s connection to Finn.

Natalie listened quietly; she remembered bits of it.

“Why would Phantom know Johnson?”

“That’s what I want to find out. Come on–I’ll take you to Johnson. Maybe we’ll get some answers straight from him.”

Baron grabbed his coat, intent on leaving the hospital with her.

Natalie worried about his health.

“You should rest first. This isn’t urgent.”

“Jensen’s men will get to Johnson soon. Before that happens, I need to know what ties he had with Phantom.”

Baron’s expression was dark.
