Beyond the Divorce

I briefed Grayson about the situation with Fred Myers and his brothers. I said, "I want you to look into the Myers family's past and find out more about Fred Myers. Next, we need to get Fred Myers to fall into the trap himself."

Grayson immediately understood my meaning. He nodded and said, "Understood. I learned many things when I was in Solaris last time. Don't worry. It won't be a problem to make him behave from now on."

"How's progress in Solaris? Your focus should be there in the future. I'm not comfortable with anyone else intervening, but I'll be more at ease with you there. I'll assign someone to take care of things here." I instructed Grayson, "They're close to the Beringer family. You know what I mean." Grayson nodded, and we tacitly understood each other.
