Odie didn't wait for Sophie to get a word in before he turned on his heel and left her room. As the door clicked shut, Sophie heard the unmistakable sound of Odie locking it from the outside, even sliding the key into the keyhole. Her face fell. It was as if he was worried she'd make a run for it.
Meanwhile, outside in the corridor, Odie was striding along when Jonah caught up to him, offering a supportive arm. “Boss, what’s the plan with the overseas business?”
“Sophie wants to launch a nightclub to square off against The Silent Shadows, hoping to bait them into action,” Odie explained. “It’s a smart move; a new club could draw in a crowd and help us gather intel on The Silent Shadows. But she’s never run a club before. New venues are magnets for trouble and rivals might target them. Overseas, it’s even more chaotic. She’s not on speaking terms with Colby right now, and with their cold war, Colby can’t step in to sort things out for her. So, she can’t handle this by herself; it’s on us.”
Jonah nodded, taking in his boss’s reasoning. Though he hadn’t been a fan of Sophie at first, over time, he’d come to see her as someone who knew right from wrong and was genuinely kind-hearted.
Odie continued, “I remember the Mintons have quite a few folks in this line of work. Get in touch with them, pick some carefully, but make sure they’re our people, and they’ve got to be presentable.”
“Got it, boss, I’m on it.”
“Good,” Odie replied, satisfied.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
