"Good afternoon, Mr. Caffee," Jada greeted him. "What are you up to at the moment?"

Billy chuckled. "Oh, don't tease me, Ms. Turin. You don't have to get so formal with me."

He was certainly glib as befit a businessman, and Jada would really not have contacted him if he was not useful right now.

"Haven't you heard? Someone just sabotaged my projects!"

"Really? I swear it has nothing to do with me, Ms. Turin," Billy swore, quick to assert his loyalty. "Find the person responsible-don't throw away the entire basket now!"

Even if some offstate investors had expressed interest in expanding into this town, the situation was still opaque a man like Billy would be standing aside to watch everything unfold without risking anyone's wrath. Still, Jada threatened him, "It had better not be you, or I'll tear you a new one!"

"Don't worry." Billy chuckled. "I'm local, despite how things look. Why would I betray my own people?"
