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."

"This needs to be handled meticulously and naturally. We can't have any trouble from this in the future," I cautioned Grayson. "Only the two of us need to know about it."

"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.

He had been busy with affairs in Solaris during this time, so he naturally understood the internal situation, perhaps even more precisely than me. After all, he was Atlas's right-hand man.

The brothers, Grayson and Gavin, were currently in charge of two equally important areas. I couldn't risk causing them undue distraction.

"Pay attention to Denton Terrell's movements in Bourdamun," Grayson reminded me. "I won't withdraw surveillance on the people here. They're already familiar with the ropes, and having them here will reassure me too."

I pondered momentarily and nodded, "I had almost forgotten about that thorn."
