Moe was the informant Julian had planted inside Kane's syndicate. In fact, many of the crucial internal leads that led to Kane's recent downfall had been secretly provided by him.
Because the investigation into Kane was still highly classified and away from the public eye, Moe's cover remained perfectly intact. He was still embedded with Kane's remaining loyalists, posing as just another low-level enforcer.
Sylvia, believing she had a solid rapport with Moe, treated him like one of her own and carelessly blabbed her entire scheme to him without a second thought. But the moment she hung up, Moe dialed Julian to relay every unhinged detail.
After giving a full rundown of the situation, Moe chuckled lightly over the phone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Croft."
"I'll have the guys hand her a bottle of chemical liquid that looks exactly like sulfuric acid, but it won't actually burn anyone. We'll make sure you're safe first."
"But still, keep your guard up. Don't let her pull anything else. The woman is completely out of her mind right now."
Julian's grip on the steering wheel tightened.
"Understood. Thank you."
He ended the call and instinctively glanced at Scarlett. A flash of icy dangerous intent crossed his eyes before melting into weary exasperation.
"Sylvia is at it again."
"She's lost her mind. She actually bought acid from Moe, planning to ambush us at City Hall and ruin today."
Scarlett inhaled sharply.
"Does she have a death wish? If she actually goes through with that, her life is over."
"Is she that eager to share a cell with Corinne and her daughters?"
Julian shook his head, his gaze hardening.
"For someone as toxic and unrepentant as her, getting locked up might be the best thing for everyone."
"Otherwise, with her destructive tendencies, who knows what psychotic extreme she'll resort to next."
Scarlett sighed softly, a wave of complicated emotions washing over her.
"I never imagined Sylvia would play such a winning hand so spectacularly poorly."
