Willie's face looked like he'd eaten something nasty.
If he handed over the report letter, his credit would take a major hit.
Lately, the relationship between Chief Security Officer Freeman and Garrison Commander Marin hadn't been exactly friendly.
At Rock Sand City's big-shot meetings, the two leaders had been butting heads constantly over who was supposed to handle what between the garrison troops and security offices.
If Chief Security Officer Freeman found out he'd given up the lead, the outcome would be pretty damn obvious.
But the garrison guys had all barged in, and he'd already spilled the beans...
Should he... stall a bit more and send someone to tip off the Chief Security Officer?
"Security Officer Willie, why don't both sides team up on this investigation? Whether that report letter's legit probably can't be figured out yet."
Carlos jumped in at just the right moment. The Black Sinner mess absolutely couldn't be put on the back burner.
