Logan initially thought Esther's mention of switching shifts in two hours was mere talk—he didn't anticipate her waking up right on time.
Esther stood before Logan and said in a deep voice, "Go rest."
Checking the time, Logan found it to be 3:00 a.m. Normally, everyone would be asleep, and unusual activities were uncommon. Logan wasn't Iron Man capable of going without sleep for 24 hours. This time, he didn't decline. Instead, he went to sleep while Esther kept watch.
Although Esther wasn't sure about the specifics of Logan's mission, she naturally wanted to cooperate well with him as his partner.
At 6:00 a.m., Logan woke up, washed up, and returned with breakfast, coffee, and a garbage bag.
Esther glanced at Logan. He placed her breakfast in front of her, sat on a chair, and opened the garbage bag. The contents made his expression particularly serious.
Esther sipped her coffee and silently observed without disturbing Logan's thoughts.
Logan put on gloves and carefully picked out crucial items from the garbage, putting them into another bag. After tying the bag securely, he threw it back into the trash bin.
Logan washed his hands, drank his coffee, and stood beside Esther. Slowly, he explained, "Mr. Sinclair suspects that this group is related to the drug traffickers involved in the incident with your father."
Esther's gaze sharpened with a hint of killing intent. "You—"
Logan interrupted Esther's question and said, "I only know this much now. We need to continue the investigation for specifics. However, whether you can restart that code unit depends on your ability to catch the drug traffickers who killed your parents."
