Chapter 21 Stan ran into Isaac just as he was about to leave, and quickly greeted him. “Mr. Jefferson.”

Giving him a look and growling rather hostile, Isaac asked, “Have you found out anything?”

Stan complained in his head that he was not Superman, not to mention that Isaac himself had given him a ton of work earlier today.

“N–No, I was just heading out,” he said gingerly, even as he wondered what had happened that could get Isaac so upset.

“Ms. Cox? Could it be–“.

“Yes, Mr. Jefferson.”
