"Are you seriously thinking about picking a new manager from that bunch?"
"Someone who'd do anything for their own gain? No way I'd let any of them near that position."
"Then why are you even..."
Sophie didn't get to finish her sentence before she put two and two together. Colby was playing a clever game, letting others do his dirty work for him.
In the end, Oran would be taken down by those staff members. And they'd end up turning on each other for the manager's spot. None of them would make it out alive.
"Wow, Colby. I tell you not to take lives, and you go and have others do it for you?"
"Honey, I'm innocent," Colby said, looking all hurt. "If they didn't have those greedy thoughts, why would they even resort to violence? People like that aren't worth mourning."
As he said this, Colby stretched out his hands, showing them off. "My hands are clean, haven't done a thing wrong."
"You've got some nerve!" Sophie poked Colby's forehead.
Colby just grinned and took Sophie's hand. "I know I was wrong. Don't worry, I've got eyes on it. No one's dying."
"That's more like it."
Sophie understood that being in Colby's position meant many things were out of his control. But if she could, she wished he’d cause less harm so they could have a peaceful life.
Sophie asked, "So, where are we heading next?"
"I'll take you to see a good show."
Colby held Sophie's hand as they got into the car.

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....
