Early morning found Colby pedaling his bike to a breakfast café two miles away, all to fetch breakfast for Sophie. She had a soft spot for their croissants, so every morning, rain or shine, Colby made the trek.
Trailing behind him, trying to be inconspicuous, were Fiona and Alec. Colby, aware of his followers, adjusted the little mirror on his bike to catch a glimpse of them. He spotted their not-so-stealthy figures and couldn't help but grin. With a quick maneuver, he angled the mirror to reflect sunlight right into their eyes, and in a flash, he vanished around the corner.
“Where did Dad go?!” Fiona fumed, bewildered by his sudden disappearance.
Alec stayed quiet, calculating the angles and direction of that blinding light. “This way!” he said, pulling Fiona to the left.
“I've never seen a business tycoon who bikes to get breakfast every day,” Fiona panted as they ran. “Maybe godfather exaggerated? Maybe Dad isn’t as big a deal as the files suggest.”
On TV, these big shots have a fleet of cars and a swarm of bodyguards, right? But looking at her dad, Fiona felt they were just a notch wealthier than the average family.
Meanwhile, Colby had reached the café. His usual order was ready, and the owner’s wife handed it over with a smile. “Back for your wife’s breakfast again? You’re such a wonderful husband!” she said.
Colby chuckled, took the bag, and headed back. By the time Fiona and Alec arrived, he was long gone.
Back at the Aldridge Estate, Sophie was enjoying her fresh croissants, clearly pleased.

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.
