The Returning Ex

Even at this late hour, John’s subordinates were still working, as they had gone to the shadow bank to look for more useful leads.

At the time of John’s call, they had just found a basement under the bank, but the place had been emptied out. Nevertheless, they saw a piece of bone in the basement, which didn’t look like it belonged to an animal.

John was startled as he didn’t expect that they would find this surprising lead, hence he told them to bring the bone back so that he could have a look. After that, he would try to come up with the next move.

After the subordinate grunted in agreement, John asked, “Have you found anything else?”

After hesitating for a bit, the person replied, “After the shadow bank was closed down, I think they had come back to empty out this place. Other than the bone, we can’t find anything else.”

John grunted. “Alright. The bone will do. If we can figure out whose bone it belongs to, it will be the best weapon against the Baileys.”

Since it was really late now, John quickly gave an order and hung up the call. With his phone in his hand, he remained in the corridor for a while longer before returning to the bedroom.
