Perfect Undercover Chapter 8
“No, no, I run a legitimate business!”Claire’s uncle cried as he reached desperately toward her.“Jack… Captain Lawson! Claire, please, help your uncle. Say something for me!”Claire looked at him and shook her head.“If you really took dirty money, Uncle Martin, no one can save you.”“Jack is a police officer. He would never bend the law for me.”“Take them,” Officer Harris barked.Without another word, the officers dragged Brandon and Claire’s uncle out of the private room, both of them still screaming.When the door closed, the room that had been so noisy moments ago fell completely silent.Only Claire, Marianne, and I were left.When Marianne met my eyes, her frightened expression suddenly changed.In an instant, her face lit up with joy.She rushed over, her heavy body swaying, and grabbed my arm.“Oh, my wonderful future son-in-law!”Marianne smiled so sweetly it made my skin crawl.“I knew it. The first time I saw you, I could tell you were no ordinary man. How c

Brandon jolted as if he had been shocked and slapped my hand away.His face flushed red with humiliation and rage.“Bullshit! Stop acting like you’re some big shot!”Brandon shouted hysterically, “You’re a delivery guy. How could you possibly arrest my uncle? You probably saw something happen at Aurelia Heights while making deliveries and came here to scare us!”Claire’s mother and uncle had been frightened stiff at first.But once they heard Brandon’s explanation, they both let out a long breath of relief.“That’s right. I almost let this broke kid fool me!”Claire’s uncle pointed at me, furious. “Delivery guys may not have real skills, but they run all over the city every day. Of course they hear gossip faster than everyone else.”“Even if something really happened to Mr. Grant, what does that have to do with you? Who are you trying to impress?”Marianne slammed the table in anger.“Claire, look at him! Look at this ridiculous act! Just to save face, he’ll even tell a lie t

But the silence only lasted two seconds.Then the room erupted in laughter.“Did you hear what this guy just said?” Brandon laughed so hard he almost fell back in his chair. “He said my uncle is sitting in an interrogation room. At his precinct. Who do you think you are, man? The police commissioner?”Marianne rolled her eyes.“Has delivering food made you delusional? This is what happens when poor people get desperate. Claire, look at the man you chose. He’s not just broke. He’s a liar too.”Listening to their mockery, I still did not get angry.Instead, I looked apologetically at Claire, who was sitting beside me.Claire and I had only been together for three months.Three months ago, I had just taken over the undercover delivery assignment.While I was out on a delivery route, I happened to stop a mugger who had pulled a knife on her and tried to steal her purse.At the time, I was wearing a beat-up delivery uniform, and the back of my hand had been cut.She was the one w

The caller was Claire Watson.My fiancée.The moment I picked up, her anxious, annoyed voice came through the phone.“Jack Lawson, where are you? Tonight is the first time you’re officially meeting my parents. You didn’t forget, did you?“My mom and my uncle are already in the private room. Don’t tell me you’re still out delivering food.”Hearing that, I smacked my forehead.For the past three months, I had been watching Victor Grant day and night. I ate, slept, and worked around Aurelia Heights, running on almost no rest for over ninety days.For the sake of confidentiality, I had told everyone I was doing delivery work.Even Claire had no idea I was actually on an undercover operation.“I didn’t forget. I just finished my last order. I’ll be there soon.”Twenty minutes later, I walked into the private dining room carrying two bottles of premium single-malt Scotch I had bought on the way.There were seven or eight people inside.Besides Claire and her parents, a heavyset m

As SWAT poured in from above and rushed in from every exit, I moved in one clean motion and stripped the gun from Victor’s hand.Then I reached into the inner pocket of my delivery jacket and pulled out a pair of handcuffs.“Let me introduce myself properly.”I locked one cuff around his wrist.“I’m Jack Lawson, Metro Police Major Crimes.”Melissa’s knees gave out.A dark wet stain spread down the front of her expensive skirt.“You… you’re a cop?”The woman who had been acting so untouchable moments ago collapsed on the floor like a pile of mud.I ignored her.After securing Victor, I hauled him up and shoved him toward the SWAT officers rushing in.“Take him. Maximum security. Don’t give him a chance to hurt himself.”“Yes, Captain Lawson!”Several fully armed officers snapped to attention.Only then did the residents who had been enjoying the show finally understand what was happening.A few phones clattered to the floor.The influencer who had shoved his camera in my

Derek was desperate to show off in front of the man he was trying so hard to impress.He grabbed me by the hair and shoved my face toward the drop of soup on Melissa’s heel.Some of the onlookers even started whistling.“Come on, kid. Don’t be stupid. That’s ten grand. What’s one lick?”“Exactly. If I had that chance, I’d clean the whole shoe.”“Why act so noble? Delivery guys serve people for a living anyway.”My face was less than two inches from Melissa’s heel.All I had to do was open my mouth.The money would be mine, and I could keep playing the part.But if I did that, I would be betraying the badge I wore beneath this uniform.Still, I had no choice.Because just then, a faint crackle sounded in my earpiece.That meant my team was blocking the signal on this floor and preparing to move in.They needed thirty more seconds.I had to buy them those thirty seconds.I clenched my jaw, my whole body shaking from humiliation and tension.To everyone else, it looked lik
