He was only here to toy with some woman, but he got his head cracked open instead! Drogo, who was still on the ground, smiled darkly. “Brother Theo, don’t blame me for not reminding you that Mr. Scott is not someone you can offend. Even if you’re very influential within Riverdale, Mr. Scott is from Golden City. Before him, you’re nothing!” Mr. Scott? From Golden City? Theo frowned slightly. His foot pressed down harder as he glanced at the man standing above the stairs.

The next day, Scott started to put his plan into action. He knew Florence wasn’t going to like when she heard about it, but a man has to do what a man has to do. He told his assistant he’d arrive late at the office that morning so he could call his private detective for more information without being interrupted. Mr. Miller was one of the best there was in the country and he worked for Scott on several occasions over the years. His service was impeccable and Scott didn’t trust anyone else.

He took a cab to the undertakers' hideout. "Scott where have you been?" Martin asked immediately he saw him walking inside. "I'm more surprised that cabs still work in the middle of the night," Ronnie said. "Where is the thing?" Scott Asked ignoring them both. "Here" Martin scoffed handing it to Scott. Scott opened it and read. "Get rid of Justin smith as you did before" Scott read inwardly. "It says as you did before, you can't kill a fly and it says before, are they talking about those three men we shot at the subway or something else?" Martin asked.

He stepped aside without a word. Inside it was dark wood and low light and the smell of old money doing what old money did when it gathered in small rooms. A bar along one wall. Tables set with the kind of discretion that said the conversations happening at them were not for the room generally. Men and a few women I half recognised from the city's financial and political edges, the people who sat one seat back from the ones in photographs. Scott was at a table in the far corner. He was seventy one and looked sixty and had the specific quality of a man who had never once in his life been in a hurry. Silver haired. Good suit. The patient eyes of someone who had learned long ago that everything

The Divisional police officer (DPO) stride to Scott's office holding some documents. He sighted Scott on his way out, and halt when they came closer to each other. "Good day Boss." Scott greeted, and helped him with the documents he was holding. "Are you heading somewhere?" He asked. "No, I just wanted to drop this with the team. But I will do that later, please come inside." Scott responded, leading the way back to his office. He has not had enough rest since he came to the office. He left for the address the reporter gave to him to carry out some investigation.

They don't have the tailored precision or the cold, professional detachment of the men Butcher killed in Monaco. They look like muscle. Mid-level thugs you hire to intimidate a witness, not protect a billionaire trafficking ring. Broken Nose drags a metal folding chair across the concrete. The screech echoes loudly. He sits backward on the chair, resting his forearms over the top edge, he stares at me. "Senator Scott is extremely unhappy with you, kid," he informs me gravely. My brain stutters. The gears catch, grind, and come to a complete, staggering halt. Scott.

Hell, there had been reporters outside the courthouse with cameras and microphones at the ready. “Whatever happened to that fuckin’ cunt, anyway?” The last I heard, the cunt was heading to Malibu. Scott didn’t want to use such crude language in front of the ladies, even though it was obvious they were with Bart for his money. “Not sure, but good riddance.” “Damn straight. How’s that crazy-ass Clayton?” Scott chuckled. “He’s great.” “Still livin’ in the same house?” “Yeah.” “And your boy?”

Scott stood still on a road. There was no one there. Just him and the forest on either side of the road. His clothes were shabby, his face messy, his black hair tangled. He was wearing an oversized blue t-shirt that was starting to fade and light brown sleep pants. He looked like he hadn't slept or changed his clothes in days. Scott had a book with him, a book he held tightly in his arms. The street was deserted. Only the occasional car passed by.

Tomoya asked, his voice a mix of surprise and disbelief. Takumi gave a subtle nod. “Jay informed me earlier. Ruby confirmed it, and now Junel,” he replied, his tone was deliberate and low. “At first, I suspected Scott. His transformation after Shane’s disappearance seemed too calculated, too coincidental. Then, his sudden eagerness to assist in the search for her following his relationship revelation with Jess only deepened the mystery. While I believe Scott is hiding something, I’m not convinced it’s as profound as he lets on. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been willing to take a bullet for Kathleen.” Takumi moved toward Samantha, his keen eyes noting the diminishing flow of the IV drip. With

76 ** Mr Scott ** ~Eighteen Hours After Abduction I placed around aimlessly. My major concern was the FBI and how they managed to know everything. How did they manage to isolate this part of the conversation and link it to a mob? "How can I trust any of this? Why should I listen to anything that was just shown? I don't know who to trust anymore or what to believe. This is mind blowing and I'm unable to wrap my head or finger around any of it. It's driving me mad."
