Chapter 257: Suspiciously
Grey, Gregory, and Charles left the estate late so that Fred would be able to get as further as he could.
Gary went with him, so Charles noticed. Though, he knew it was Gary that would plan his escape out of the spacious estate.
“So, it’s a success?” Gregory asked when they walked out to the car earlier the next morning.
Charles nodded briefly. “I think it is since
Gary isn’t even back till now.”
Gregory entered the car. “He probably wanted to make sure Fred arrived safely or to make sure it’s believable.”
Grey nodded briefly. “I guess that’s the case. We should go back to Jacksonville and wait for the result,” he suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement before they entered the car.
On the plane back home, Charles kept failing Gary’s phone but he wasn’t picking up. The job alone was tiring, so at one point, he was frustrated.
He looked over at Grey. “Do you have an idea why Gary wouldn’t pick up?”
Grey darted at his watch. “It’s over five hours already and we will be arriving in Jacksonville soon. Why does it feel like something is weird?”
Gregory’s eyes went wide with shock. ” What If he was caught? And Fred knows the truth?”
“Well, that’s dangerous,” Grey muttered. “Let’s give him a few minutes. In the next few hours, the news should be all about it. If not, then we will realize something has really happened,” he finished.
Gregory nodded briefly.
When they got down from the plane and split, Gary still hadn’t replied to Charles.
Gregory went his way while Charles and Grey drove right to Beatrice’s house.
“I’m starting to think of this thing more than we discussed,” Charles said suddenly as they walked inside the house.
Grey moved to switch on the TV. He placed a call to Jimmy which he picked up immediately.
“Hi, boss.”
“Yes, is there currently any news about Hercules?”
“No, boss. There’s nothing surfacing currently. Is there something you are looking for?”
Grey cleared his throat meaningfully.
Nothing, just stay watch. I want you to notify me if you see or hear any news concerning Hercules. Make sure you are online!”
“Yes, boss!”
Grey hung up and looked at Charles. ”
Nothing. Everywhere is as quiet as a graveyard.” He muttered.
Charles raised skeptical brows at him. ” Do you think we got the wrong person? Perhaps we sent a spy on a job instead?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, what if Gary is a spy as well? I thought I could trust him but what if he’s actually monitoring me like Fred was doing? It can only explain the reason why
I haven’t heard from him all this while.”
