I get it, you’re young and full of yourself. Been there, done that.
But you better shape up and become a real man while you still have the chance. If you keep drifting through life, I’m afraid you’ll end up as nothing more than a background character in someone else’s story.”
Dwayne was taken aback by his words.
He wanted to retort, but words eluded him.

Dwayne remained silent.
Nathan’s words stung, but they hit home.
Dwayne felt a lump forming in his throat, threatening to bring tears to his eyes.

“I’ve made some headway with the investigation you assigned me. Fritz checked into the Bangor Hotel last night and didn’t check out until noon today.
However, I spoke with the hotel staff and reviewed the surveillance footage. He never returned to the bar. The other two individuals didn’t have any hotel check-in records, and there was nothing odd about them.”

Nathan frowned and wore a grave expression.
A nagging feeling gnawed at him, a sense that they were overlooking something important.
Nathan’s memory sparked abruptly, and he issued a command.
“Tell the National Security Bureau to arrest Lionel right away. I’ll personally handle the interrogation.”
“What?
But Lionel hasn’t done anything wrong,” Sonny exclaimed, clearly puzzled.
Nathan didn’t bother explaining.
