The two of them leaned in,

map carefully. Chase fell into deep thought. Was it really Henry
On the way, Wendy’s call finally got through. She explained the heavy rainfall in the mountains had weakened the signal; several calls hadn’t connected. She told Chase to go ahead and use all of Quinn Group’s resources to assist Waylon in the investigation.
Anything that involved the Harrison family was a big deal for them, too.
But Chase was more concerned about what was happening in Cliff Haven.
Rain in the city center was starting to come down harder as well. On the road, it already felt heavier, once they stepped out of the car, there was no escape–just a few minutes in the rain and they were soaked.
“This is it. Look closely. If you spot Larry’s car or anything suspicious, screenshot and lock it down for me. Bernard lowered his voice and asked, “You worried about Ms. Quinn?”
“Yeah. This kind of heavy rain isn’t safe for heading up into the mountains. And with no signal out there, I can’t contact her whenever I want.”
“Nothing to be done about it. Trips like these–they can’t just change schedules on the fly.”
They stayed in Finn’s office for two hours. Waylon stuck to his motto–better to flag everything than miss something–and pulled up every suspicious vehicle. Finn managed to trace the contact info of that group, and even Henry’s.
“Henry ditched his old number when he came back to the country. The one he’s using now has triple–layer encryption. If we call him, the signal gets bounced overseas before being rerouted back to his phone–it’s an anti–tracking setup.”
When it came to anti–tracking, no one understood better than Waylon. The moment he heard “triple encryption,” he knew Henry wasn’t just hiding secrets–he was buried in them.
Almost no one in the country used this kind of tech; it was basically satellite–grade communication.
They couldn’t trace Henry’s private number directly, so they had to break through the encryption. Finn. did need some time for that.
“Henry must have an elite IT expert on his side. I can try tracing the path; but it’ll take time. Don’t get your hopes up. Someone like this knows how to wipe every last trace of themselves clean.”
“That’s fine. Do it.”
Before they left, Bernard went over to the finance department to pick something up. When he came back out, Waylon and Chase were already waiting in the car; the tension between them hung thick in the air.
One was worried about his wife; the other, about the case.
Wendy hadn’t called back yet–but Mario did.
“Aimee already went to the Harrison mansion. She’s there as Typhoon Corp’s lead reporter, Mario said.
With the Harrison family involved, they couldn’t have forgetten about Mario.

Waylon raised his voice over the phone. “You guys better not stir up trouble. I’ve got my hands full here Larry’s been missing for days–we don’t even know if he’s alive or dead.
Mario chuckled. “She’s got her press credentials; it’s a formal interview. Everything’s legit—don’t worry
With a case like this, Typhoon Corp was bound to get involved, especially with the Harrison family, Personally and professionally, Mario was always going to send someone.
After Aimee was acknowledged by the Meyer family, Caesar’s position became even more solid; and Aimee’s résumé was outstanding–getting into Typhoon Corp had been a breeze.
Sending Aimee to cover this story had been discussed between Caesar and Mario.
Most reporters wouldn’t be able to dig this deep–but Aimee already knew about Mario’s connection to the Harrisons. She was a smart girl. She’d know exactly what questions to ask to get the answers she needed. All things considered, she was the best pick for the job.
“Mr. Fred, you heading to the scene later? Look out for my girl, will you? You’ve met her before.
“Sure.”
Though honestly, Waylon was so swamped, he could barely take care of himself–never mind anyone else.
