"Nothing else?" "No." Drake picked up a mask and turned to Debra, who was sitting in the car. "Is this it?" Debra looked at it and nodded. "That's the one." "Pack them up and take them away." "Your one-swoop takedowns are pretty polished." "It's passable." "That wasn't a compliment." Drake had brought her there so early in the morning. She had thought there was surgent matter, but it was just sealing off the church.
"If you shut the church down, how will we catch them in the net?" "I've taken control of the Jovial Hotel. Do you think they'd still cback?" "Makes sense. So, you do use your brain occasionally." "Of course." "Then what's the point of sealing this church now?" "To vent my anger." Debra forced a smile. "So, you draggedhere so early in the morning just for that?" "Don't you feel better?" "Should I thank you for it?" "You're welcome." Debra pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling helpless.
She shifted gears. "Marion's almost recovered. I'll leave things here to you. Marion is coming to pickup, and our flight is at noon." Drake paused mid-motion, flicking the ash off his cigarette. "Leaving this mess to me, huh? You've got it all figured out." "I'm doing you a favor by eliminating a potential threat." "Shut up. They're after you, not me." "Sdifference. We're in the sboat. I gave you the share transfer agreement. You don't know who they will go after once they find out." "Con. If it weren't for you..." Drake stopped mid-sentence, catching Debra's reflection in the rearview mirror. I need to my influence in Seamar City.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the risk." Marion's car arrived, pulling up at the church entrance.
