By the time Adam arrived, Joseph had already gotten out of bed.

"What are you doing here?" he asked puzzledly.

"I'm still worried about the whole situation with Remus' family so I came to discuss things with you."

Adam sat on the couch and shared his concerns. "Nicholas won't let things slide so easily. He and Kieran are close. I'm sure he'll do a thorough investigation."

Joseph chuckled.

"Doesn't that work exactly in our favor? I'd be more worried if that punk doesn't investigate the accident and focuses on our accounts instead."

"Aren't you afraid that he might link the accident back to us?" Adam stared anxiously at Joseph.

"Relax, Adam," Joseph laughed. "It can't be traced back to us. I had them prepare for all possibilities. Even if Nicholas looks into it, he'll only find what we want him to find."
