“We’ve pinpointed the exact location, Mr. Crawford. After tracing Miss Milton’s last call, we found that it was made outside an incomplete factory, west of the city,” explained Michael.
“Mr. Crawford!” shouted Zack as he burst through the office’s door.
“We’ve run some investigations on the gangsters in Mayberry City and the Rye group. According to our spies, Jack had been acting strangely tonight. Earlier at eight, he had held a dinner party with a few others, including a few business-focused bosses from Mayberry City. In between meals, he would leave the table a lot to make calls. It was also found that his subordinates had drugged the wine beforehand. About ten minutes ago, his driver picked him up and his final destination was the same factory Miss Milton last called from!” Zack reported.
Gerald had a confused look on his face. “Mr. Lyle… How do you know so much about them?”
Zack smiled. “The truth is, Mr. Crawford, I’ve planted some spies in their group much earlier on to prevent them from pulling any unexpected tricks. I’m proud to say that one of Jake’s most trusted subordinates is our spy!”
“Excellent work! Mr. Crawford, everyone’s here now. It’s best that we leave now,” said Michael.
“Let’s go!”
With that, those gathered there began driving swiftly to the west of the city.
Meanwhile back at the unfinished factory.
“Boss! It’s good to see you!” The subordinates from earlier took turns shouting the phrase.
A roar of laughter followed. “Where’s my little beauty? Where is she?”
Obscene laughter could be heard before Jake began ascending the stairs.
The moment Felicity and Cassandra saw him, their eyes almost popped out.
He was here because they had offended him immensely the other day…
They were here because Jake wanted to personally take revenge on them.
Jake simply laughed at how surprised they looked. “So you’re all here! Come! Remove the tape from their mouths!”
As soon as her mouth was free, Cassandra shouted at him. “Do you have a death wish Jake? Do you know whose woman I am?! Let me go now, I belong to Mr. Crawford!”
Cassandra knew very well what kind of relationship she had with Mr. Crawford ever since Flynn told her about it the other day.
However, she didn’t have much of a choice at the moment. She could only hope that she could use her relationship with Mr. Crawford as a way to scare Jake off.
