Chapter 498 On the Brink

I knew my own bias was getting the better of me. "Do you need it right away?" Charles broke through my thoughts. He hesitated, then offered, "If it's urgent, I can give Ms. Cruz a heads-up and fetch it for you. It won't take long." I wavered for a heartbeat, then nodded. "Yeah, could you?" He gave a firm nod. "I'll head out now." He grabbed the car keys and was out the door in a flash. Gregory strode in with a serious look on his face. "Heads up," he said, "the cops just got a tip-off. Lucas and his crew are set to make a move tonight. But where? That's the million-dollar question." I blinked, my mind racing. I almost blurted out, "How'd the police get the scoop so fast?" But then it clicked. I narrowed my eyes at him. "You've got someone on the inside with Lucas, don't you?" Gregory's face tightened, a telltale sign he had said too much. "Ms. Scott, I really shouldn't say. If our guy gets made, it's game over, so..." "Got it. No more questions," I cut in, piecing it together.
