Chapter 258: A talk
Gregory looked at Grey. “You think something is amiss?”
It was evening already and the elders gathered at Alfred’s house. Thomas and Gary have arrived with the rest of the men but Charles told them to stay at his house. The meetings with the elders have to come first.
“We need to move faster. We need to make Giovanni think there’s really no Hercules,” Grey started.
“How do we do this?” Jayden demanded.
“Anything that will strike as suspicious. Get the men to guard my estate unnecessarily. Get a man to go to my estate dressed like me. There should be a mask and others,” Grey explained.
“What do we do with Gary then?” Charles asked suddenly. “Grey feels something is way off about him.”
“You need to ask him questions when he gets here. I mean he would definitely have the answers to what we want.”
Grey thought about it for a moment. ” Let’s play it slowly. We don’t really know at this moment if Gary is a spy or not. We have to be careful. And for the meantime, we still have to continue pretending
Hercules doesn’t exist. Let’s have more conversations about it.”
Alfred nodded briefly. “Then, we can take a shift and discuss at Charles’ house.
“Yes. But I, Gregory, and Charles will have to meet with Gary. We will give you feedback depending on what he says,
Grey added.
“Yes, let’s do that immediately,” Gregory said and stood.
Grey looked over at Alfred. “How is he?”
Alfred sighed. “Still the same. He’s not showing any signs of responding to treatment. Though, the doctor said it would take a while.”
Grey nodded briefly and stood. “Let’s talk later then.”
Grey, Gregory, and Charles arrived at
Charles’ house in their cars.
Thomas was in front of the door, with his head bowed.
Charles regarded him for a moment before he walked inside while Grey and
Gregory followed. Gary was at one side. looking lost with an expression that was hard to read.
Gary was the first person that Grey watched out for the moment he was inside the living room.
Charles opened his mouth to say something but Grey beat him to it.” Where have you been, Gary?”
Gary looked up, slowly. There was a flash of flicker across his face. “I couldn’t alert you after Fred’s escape as I decided to go after him.”
Charles regarded Thomas for a moment. Leave with the men!” He ordered.
Thomas bowed slightly before he walked out with the others.
Charles walked closer to Gary. “Is everything going well?”
Gary looked again. “Yes, everything is fine,” he responded.
“Then, what about_,” Charles was saying but Grey cut him off again.
