Chapter 335

I was in a real pickle, wondering if I should hand over the USB stick to Neil.

After stewing over it for a bit, I finally copied all the evidence from the USB stick and shot it over to Neil.

“Malinda gave it to me,” I confessed, “Malinda approached me once before and gave me this stuff. I’ve been covering for her this whole time. If Bonnie knew, she’d be in hot water.”

That question was a bit awkward because I was indeed keeping him at bay. Only after all we’ve been through those days did I decide to hand over the document. It was the last piece of the puzzle between us.
