CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

"What do you think they are talking about?"

Iris whispers to Alex while stretching, taking a peek towards the corner of the studio where Logan and Dick were whispering to each other.

"Do you think he is suspicious about Logan?"

Alex whispers back, questioning

"I don't know. Maybe so because he did say that it's been a while since he last did business with Dick. I really hope not that he suspects him."

Iris wanted to look at them but decided not to incase Dick ends up being sceptical about her.

"So, why was I called here?"

Logan asks

"Frederick is dead."

Dick states firmly

"Ah yes, I know. I saw it on the news. Poor guy...they say it was suicide..."

"No. I killed him."

Dick confesses without even pausing

"Oh."

Logan did not know how to react to that.

"That guy was blackmailing me. He found some information on me which is very bad for my reputation and business. I now, know, why he was acting so high and mighty at the dinner party."

"What kind of information?"

"You know what kind I am talking about. The problem is that Frederick had been after me for a long time and he never managed to find something against me until now. My question is how did he get that information?"

"Maybe he looked through your old records?"

"No. All my records were in that USB which is burnt.....or maybe it isn't burnt....this is staggering....someone must have given him that information. Frederick was not that clever to find it on his own and you know that as well."

"That thing got destroyed along with the person who took it."

Logan tried to deviate Dick's mind because he knew that once Dick was to start investigating it on his own he would find out that Nick is alive and so is the USB.

"Perhaps so. What I need you to do is find whoever was behind this. I can't hire anyone from The Mercurial because frankly I don't trust them. If I am a person who can use others, then the others will do the same. That is why I am turning to you, my friend."

Logan thought how he was calling him a friend means that he must really be desperate because they weren't actually friends.

"Actually...I..."

He tried to think of an excuse but before he could finish Dick adds,

"I am giving you some time to think. I hope you will consider it. In return for this job I am willing to offer you anything whether it is money, information, position, shares. Anything you ask for will be yours. Call me later in the evening to give me your response which I do look forward to being positive."

This was his way of saying that Logan should take his leave now. Which he complied with. He said goodbye and was about to leave when Dick calls from behind,

"Two more things, Mr. Wilson. Firstly this is a top-secret. Only you and I know about this. Secondly, you don't have to try to act and speak like how I speak, with me. I know youngsters these days are more about not using proper grammar."

"I got it."

Logan chuckles and leaves. Thinking that guy is seriously like a robot. He had never seen him even smile. Before leaving, he notices Iris look towards him and quickly avert her gaze. He knew she was curious.

When he leaves the building, he is about to sit in his car when he sees his father approach him.

"...Want to talk?"

"Sure..."

Logan already knew what he was going to talk about and he was really eager to have this conversation to clear up all the misunderstandings. Frankly, he had grown tired of all this drama.

"So, what did he say?"

Iris comes rushing in along with Alex as soon as their class finished. Everyone else was eating and watching tv turned to them who were now panting because they ran all the way here.

Logan then explains everything.

"I think it would be great if he went with him because then he would be able to prevent Dick from getting close to finding us."

Amelia remarks

"No. It will be the opposite in fact. Dick will grow tired and will start to doubt Logan because after all they are the only two who he thinks knows about all this."

Iris retorts

"What do you think?"

Ella asks Logan

"I am with Iris on this one. Also, my left hand isn't that healed up."

He looks down at his injured hand and moves his fingers

"By the way, when are you guys going to meet the informant?"

Henry looks at Luke, Amelia and Alex

"I don't see the point in going to meet him anymore though because we already have Logan's dads help."

Max states

"We still need a bit of information. He knows everything so it will be good."

Lucy explains

"But what about that guy telling their identity to someone else?"

Iris inquires

"Isn't he a drunkard? I bet he will forget all about us. We will just make him more and more drunk and get him to spill everything."

Alex shrugs

"Which is our plan b, of course. Our plan a is to disguise as someone else."

Luke adds

"I helped pick out their outfits!"

Ella exclaimed excitedly

"This will be interesting."

Iris remarks, smirking
