Not long after, the patrol vehicle arrived. When they saw Felicity, the inspectors excitedly greeted her.
“This man just shot at me. Make sure you keep a close eye on him!”
she said.
The captain of the patrol team patted his chest and promised, “Rest assured, Deputy Snyder. We’ll keep a close watch on him!”
Felicity and Jaxon got into Homer’s car and headed for Whitten County. Inside the car, Felicity asked, “Homer, did you ignore your brother’s instructions? You totally knew about Lindon’s whereabouts!”
Homer’s eye twitched as he replied mournfully, “You misunderstand! I didn’t know Lindon was in Whitten County. It just so happened that
my girlfriend overheard us talking about him and mentioned it.”
Felicity frowned. “How does your girlfriend know such detailed
information?”
Homer was embarrassed. “My girlfriend used to work in the red-light
district. She heard about it from her colleagues.”
Felicity did not press further. Homer drove onto the highway and
asked with a smile, “Miss Felicity, you still mean what you said just
now right?”
Felicity red at Homer. “Go ask your brother if I, Felicity Snyder,
have even gone back on my word!”
Homer breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I’ve been
hapter 958
working as an auxiliary inspector for three years, and my brother is already nning for me to change jobs!”
Felicity was puzzled. “The pay for this job isn’t that good, yet you
seem quite persistent about being an inspector.”
Homer smiled. “It’s part of a dream of mine.”
The answer sounded forced, but Felicity did not press further.
With Ken at the petrol station, Felicity trusted that Homer would not
act recklessly. Moreover, Homer’s role as an auxiliary inspector
indicated that he had not engaged in any illegal activities.
After two hours, they arrived in Whitten County. Thanks to Homer’sN?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
girlfriend’s connections, they managed to find out that Lindon had
gone to a vige in Whitten County that evening.
The vige was a maze of alleyways with scantily d women
standing right at the entrances to thesenes.
“Felicity, Lindon has quite a few people with him. I can’t catch him
alone!” said Jaxon.
“Then, you’ll go in with him,” Felicity replied. As a female, she could
not enter such a ce without arousing suspicion.
Homer hesitated. “Is he… capable?”
Felicity red at Homer. “If he’s not capable, then no one is!”
At that moment, a woman wearing a gown came over with four to five
burly men.
The woman walked up to the driver’s side window and nced at the
back. She immediately noticed the priest.
Surprised, she asked, “Are you here to find someone or are you
looking for an inn?”
Homer replied, “We’re here to fix our car.”
The woman frowned. “Do you have a referral?”
Homer mentioned an old friend of his girlfriend.
The woman then smiled coquettishly and asked, “How many of you
are there?”
“Just the two of us,” Homer replied.
The woman covered her mouth and giggled. “Is this priest here a real
priest?”
Homer nced back and chuckled. “He likes to cosy!”
The woman gave a knowing smile and opened Homer’s car door while one of the burly men helped Jaxon with his side of the door
The men looked at Jaxon with curious expressions.
Homer and Jaxon headed toward the dark alley.
In the meantime, Felicity pushed aside the chair and crawled to the
front from where she had been in the trunk. Nash sent a message
asking about the situation. Felicity replied that everything was going
smoothly.
The woman led her two guests into the alley. As they passed by each building, the street lights illuminated the faces of the scantily d
women standing outside.

“Madam, you don’t need to take us for a stroll. I’m looking for Milly,”
Homér said.
