The day was still young, but the city had woken up early and was already buzzing with activity.
Flossie Wright and Glenn Hutchinson, who hadn’t had breakfast yet, decided on Flossie’s suggestion to have the new driver pull over at the nearest food street.
"You can wait here."
As soon as she got out of the car, Flossie stopped the new driver who wanted to follow them out, and naturally took Glenn’s arm, as if signaling to the driver that they were going on a date, advising him not to come and third wheel.
The new driver paused in the middle of opening the car door, unable to find a good reason to accompany them.
Once they got out of the car, Flossie and Glenn appeared like an ordinary couple, holding hands and strolling down the street. Occasionally, Flossie would buy some snacks that caught her eye, and Glenn would automatically pay for them. Their movements were smooth and coordinated, without a need for any discussion.
"How many of them?"
Flossie, unconcerned, gnawed on a doughnut in her hand, her arm linked with Glenn’s, not making any effort to conceal her voice.
In such a lively breakfast street, they don’t need to hide their conversation, because the noise of the crowd is their most effective shield.
Returning his gaze to their surroundings, Glenn answered casually, as if he was just chatting with Flossie.
Little did they know, danger was brewing.
They weren’t surprised that the other party wanted to eliminate them.
The mere fact that Flossie noticed the situation but didn’t make a scene is enough to raise suspicion, let alone the fact that Glenn is a major threat. Those behind the scenes are already alert to them and it is only natural that they would want to get rid of them covertly.
However, as the saying goes, "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind".
"Should we make a move?"
Flossie, leisurely eating her breakfast, glanced sideways at Glenn.
Although Glenn did not share his entire plan with her, she could guess the general idea based on his actions. Given his connections in the Forces and the Hutchinson family’s connections in the Military District, it was perfectly possible for Glenn to collaborate with the police and the military, even if he couldn’t mobilize his own people.
Since the criminals were from the Capital City, it wasn’t suitable for Glenn to get rid of such a large backstage organization by himself. But the information he provided should be enough for the police or the military to dispatch some personnel.
Glenn had received some intel at the Wright family residence last night. Naturally, he overheard their plan to get rid of them. If the staged accident didn’t work out, they would of course choose to deal with them directly, though this option was more risky.
They sent eight men to handle two people, which was a considerable show of force.
Of course, the "plainclothes" officers lurking nearby would not be few either.
Without batting an eyelid, Glenn responded naturally.
Flossie only raised an eyebrow and continued to eat her breakfast without saying anything more to him.
About half an hour later, they were almost done with their breakfast. However, to the new driver’s anxiety, rather than heading back, they seemed to be enjoying their time out and even returned to tell the driver their plans of exploring the area some more.
"Aren’t we going to the Hutchinson house?"
Seeing them about to leave after they notified him, the new driver held them back with a hint of a headache and asked tentatively.
