    "Got it. I won''t spill the beans, and don''t let Keegan know I asked you about this," said Ste.


    "I would never. He''ll be the first toe knocking if he knows that I talked to you. Back then, he was


    the one helping Marshall''s mom silence people like us. I''m sticking my neck out here just telling you all


    this. So, don''t screw me over," Vermont replied.


    Felicity sneered, "Look at you, all weak-kneed. Is Keegan gonna eat you alive?"


    "You go up against him if you''re so brave," Vermont said.


    Felicity hesitated for a moment, suddenly recalling the time when Keegannded her in the mmer.


    She cleared her throat and said, "He hasn''t crossed me. Why the hell would I go up against him?"


    Vermontughed and taunted, "You''re just a little chicken. The only person you dare mess with is me."


    Ste left the group voice call and dropped a WhatsApp message to Detective Karl, whom she hadn''t


    contacted in a long time. [Can we meet up?]


    Detective Karl shot back instantly. [I don''t provide additional services after the deal is closed.]


    His response left Ste taken aback. [It''s not about the previous matter. It''s fresh business.]


    [What kind of business?] Detective Karl asked.


    Ste wanted him to find more information about the driver and passenger in the cab that collided with


    them previously.


    There was a long silence on Detective Karl''s end.


    Getting a bit antsy, Ste sent another message, [I''ll triple themission.]


    However, it did not go through.


    Ste''s expression soured. ''That jerk blocked me!''


    Frowning, she dialed his number. However, she became irritated after being abruptly hung up on four


    times in a row.


    Sheposed a stern text, [If you don''t answer my calls, I''ll post your information on my Twitter. You

    helped women catch their cheating husbands and split their property. What do you think those men


    would do when they find out about you?"


    A few secondster, Detective Karl called back. "Give me your bank details so that I can transfer back


    what you paid me. I don''t want your money anymore."


    "I''m not hitting you up for money. I want you to dig into that cab-"


    "I can''t," Detective Karl cut her off. "You should find someone else."


    Ste frowned. "Why not?"


    "No reason," Detective Karl said indifferently. "I''m just hustling to make a living. Some things are


    beyond the scope of a small-time detective like me."


    He paused and added, "I advise you toy off the investigation. Don''t ask anything. Your mom''s case is


    done and dusted. There''s no need to dig into the small stuff. Don''t bother ringing me again. I won''t pick


    up even if you do."


    Detective Karl hung up after that.


    Ste furrowed her brow.


    Detective Karl had been active in the circle for so long because he was willing to look into what others


    wouldn''t. But this time, he rejected Ste.


    ''Is it just because of the Moore family''s connection to this case? Or is there something bigger in the


    shadows?''


    The unknown surrounded them. Whichever path they took, it felt like wandering through thick fog.


    Ste rubbed her temples and caught sight of an unread WhatsApp message from Coco on her phone.


    She hesitated and clicked on it.
