CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
"We got here as fast as we could."
Max states, rushing in followed by Iris and Ella
"What happened?"
"Before you answer Iris's question, what happened to the dresses?"
Ella inquires
"We burnt them obviously."
Luke answers
"No! My hard work!"
Ella exclaims, Iris pats her shoulder for comfort and waits for someone to explain
"Well we were at the meeting site and we were doing our introduction when a bullet comes flying from the window straight to the guy's head, killing him. We notice a shooter at the next building's roof and tried following him but he just vanished out of nowhere."
Alex explains,
"Henry is checking the security footage of all the surrounding areas while Amelia is with him identifying the killer."
Lucy adds
"So, what did he find?"
Ella asks turning to him
"Not much. He disappeared into the crowd."
"We think he might have either got into a bus or a cab or just walked or maybe into a building so we are quite confused. But we are still working on it."
They explain
"Who killed him then?"
"Was it Dick?"
Iris asked after Max's question
"I have Logan trying to find if he's behind it or not. He should be calling any moment now."
Lucy answers
"Who else could have a motive to kill him?"
"I really think it's Dick because he must think that Frederick got dirt on him through the informant."
Iris remarks, everyone nods in agreement
"Yeah, I think so as well."
"If it is Dick, then what do we do? That guy is like a snake. It's not long before he finds out the truth."
Alex inquires
"Well....Dick is all about his rules and old-fashioned ways. We could expose him, all the times he broke his rules."
Iris suggests
"That's true but I have a feeling that killing, smuggling and doing illegal work is part of his rules."
Ella responds
"Then...what else?"
"Can't we just leak his information on the social media or give it to the new?"
"No, that won't work."
"Leaking him to the social media will not be of any help because he is the employee of a private company so the government can't really do anything about firing him. There won't be a case against him because he is after all very close to the board members and they will use their contacts in the jury and judges to help him. Even the police won't do anything against him."
"That's not fair."
"Why is it so hard to get that guy?"
They were discussing their plans when Lucy's phone starts ringing. She answers the call and puts it on loud-speaker.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
"It's not Dick."
Came Logan's response through the phone
"What?"
Everyone was surprised at this disclosure
"How?"
"He didn't kill the informant because he hasn't contacted him at all. He was waiting for my reply before even starting his investigation."
"Then who is it?"
"No clue. I think it's best to check whoever contacted him over the last few days and then figure out if any one of them had any grounds on killing him."
"I see. Then we have a lot of work ahead of us. What about your rejection? Did he say anything to it?"
"Not really. He was fine with it although he said he would come to me if he needs some information."
"And you agreed?"
"I told him that we will see about that. Listen, I am going to snoop around to find if someone did it."
"You're going to go to George, first?"
"Yeah. Talk to you later."
He then cuts the call.
"So, it's not Dick."
Iris states
"Well it's getting late now. You guys head back, we will figure this out tomorrow."
Lucy looks at the clock, and then at Henry and Amelia, motioning them to stop their search as well
