Meanwhile, at the Beale's.
Talon Beale received a call from his men telling him that Sharon had gone to Jameson Proctor.
He didn't say much but simply asked them to keep watching over her.
After he had hung up the phone, he looked outside for a while and then got up and left the study.
He hopped on a car parked in the garden.
The place they kept Josh Allyson was a warehouse not far away.
It used to store some debris but had been deserted around two years ago.
Nobody even passed by that place anymore.
So after Bridger's escape, Talon had moved Josh here.
Inside the warehouse, Josh was lying in a bed watching a movie on an old television.
The place was not chaotic but definitely not tidy either.
Trash and newspapers were everywhere on the floor.
People would come and clean up from time to time.
Josh's broken leg was laid still on the bed.
He was singing a relaxing song and didn't think it was a terrible thing to be captivated at all.
The door was open and light came in.
Josh sat up straight and saw someone come in.It was Talon Beale.
His followers turned on the lights immediately after he had walked in.
Josh used his hands to cover his eyes which had not adjusted to the sudden brightness.
Talon sat in a couch across from Josh, "Have you made up your mind?"
Josh laughed and gave him a hand gesture, "I have told you already.Give me this number, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know"
"You really ARE greedy."
"What can I do? I raised up a daughter.But when she finally married and lived a wealthy life, she had forgotten about me.Not a penny from her! That ungrateful woman! So, you know, I have to make money myself.
"Are you not afraid that you'll get the money, but lose your life?"
Josh nonchalantly replied, "I don't give a d*mn.Just give me the money, and then we'll talk.If I die, I'll die with my cash! And hope for a better next life."
"I see you're quite open-minded."
"Ha! Give me the money, and I'll be at your service"
Josh continued, "Your money will not be wasted, you see, I still have your secret.If I get the money, I'll disappear like a dead man, and never show up again.If I don't have it, who knows what I'll do?"
Talon kept his face calm, "What secret do I have?"
Josh's burnt face looked twisted and his laugh sounded even more creepy, "You, are, not, Talon Beale.Doesn't matter how good of an actor you are, you are still not him."
Talon's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Josh said, "If I dare to talk, then I'm not afraid of death.The man who got out, you know, I told him, I told him everything! If you kill me, he will reveal it to the public.But.....if I get the money, I'll split the money in halves with him.Only a fool will say no to that.Right?"
"Do you think people will believe your words?"
"Of course I have proofs."
