CHAPTER 259
Chapter 259: More plans
Grey relaxed in his chair. "Instinct, Gary.
Now, drive to 5star hotel and suites. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Whoever you are scared of might be watching us at this moment."
Gary nodded briefly and pulled out into the street. They barely drove a few minutes when Grey noticed a black car trailing them.
At first, it looked normal as if the car was merely driving but Grey was having his drive.
"Gary, take the left way," he ordered.
Gary nodded briefly.
"It looked like someone was after us."
Grey nodded briefly. "I've been watching the black car for a while now."
Gary took the turn and a sigh escaped him when no car followed but suddenly, after driving for some minutes, the car came from behind again.
"I said it," Grey confirmed.
"What do we do?" Gary asked, confused.
"Pull off at Alfred's restaurant. We will soon be there. It's at the right," he dictated.
Gary nodded briefly and complied.
Grey placed a call to Alfred which he didn’t pick up until after the second ring.
"Hello, Hercules."
"Hi, are you at your restaurant? Or is there a way I can leave if I enter through the front way?"
"I will send a message to one of my attendants. You will be attended to when you get inside," he assured.
Grey nodded briefly just as the car pulled to a stop in front of the restaurant.
"I will need a car too because I need to leave this vicinity," he informed.
"No problem, boss. I will arrange that immediately."
"Alright," he said and hung up." Gary, get down," he ordered and did the same. He and
Gary entered the restaurant.
A young man in his twenties moved closer to them. He hesitated and brought out his phone probably to cross-check something.
Then, he nodded briefly.
"Please, follow me." He said and turned around to leave.
Grey glanced back to see if anyone had followed them in. He looked at Gary. "Let’s move faster. If they won't follow us in, then they must think of staying guard to see when the car would move."
Gary nodded briefly.
They both walked through a door by the right and entered a long hallway. The only door it led to, actually led them out of the restaurant.
There was a black car outside. The man extended the keys forward.
Gary took the keys and walked to the car.
Grey turned to the other guy, "Thank you."
The other bowed slightly before he eventually walked inside while Grey moved to the passenger’s seat.
And Gary drove out of the street until they were far away from 5star. He found a safe spot and pulled over.
"I think it’s safe here."
"It's getting dark. So, it’s going to be fine. We can talk here," Grey proposed and looked out through the window. "What is it all about?"
Gary let out a sigh.
"Fred wasn't the only spy in our midst," he announced.
Grey's head almost spun. He looked over at Gary.
"What happened?"
"He found me, while I was trying to make sure Fred escaped. Actually, it turned out that he was already planning Fred’s escape.
They don’t work for Todd, only Fred does. But he knew he was withheld for being the spy and he sensed that he must have seen something that would definitely be useful," he hesitated as if trying to
remember it all. I wasn’t allowed to go back to the estate."
When Grey didn’t talk, Gary saw it as an opportunity to continue. "I failed to understand their language. So, he found me suspicious and took me to Todd."
"So, that was why there was nothing on the news?"
"There won't be," Gary affirmed. "Because this news hasn't even reached Giovanni's ears. Todd has to believe this first and he’s finding it difficult to do so," he explained further.
"But why are you still alive?"
"I had to pretend to work for Giovanni, even though none of the elders could identify me. I told them I would help them with anything I hear from you."
"That you would be a spy for us?" Grey completed and Gary shook his head briefly.
"It was the only way to survive. Even though, I got my bit of torture," he revealed and pulled up his shirt to reveal his stomach where bruises were.
Grey stared at it for what seemed like some hours. They all thought Gary had betrayed them but he was actually still working for them. Grey was right and they had to start acting suspiciously so that the plan would fall right back into place.
"So, that was why you are back?"
Gary nodded briefly. "I have to make them. believe I am with them and against you or_.
Grey cut in quickly. "Or Todd wouldn't believe what we had said. The plan wouldn't work and you will be in danger," he completed for him.
Gary nodded briefly. "I didn’t know how to explain and I don’t know how this would work out. It looks like a failed plan already," he lamented.
Grey watched him. "Who is this spy? And did you confirm it’s just one?"
Grey nodded again. "He’s just one and he’s Thomas," he dropped the nutshell.
Grey smiled, really surprised about it. " Here's the first plan. Meet with Todd and let him know this___," he hesitated as he brought out his phone to record so he wouldn't forget everything he discussed with him. " Tell him I met with Gregory about Fred that escaped. Tell him we are devastated about his escape and we plan to find him and kill him before he tells Todd the truth."
Gary was shocked.
"What?"
Grey nodded briefly.
"We have to make them. believe you are really spying on us. At the same time, we want them to believeHercules doesn't exist."
Gary nodded briefly. "And what should I say about escaping from them earlier?"
"Well," Grey shrugged slightly. ‘I discovered we were being tailed and directed you over here because I needed to speak withGregory in private," he smiled.
"Very simple."
Grey placed a call to Don. He wasn’t just going to do the talking, he was going into action. Don would physically start looking for
Fred to make Gary’s words believable.
In no time, Todd wouldn't have a choice but to believe Gary. And the initial plan would go accordingly.
