Chapter 4
Alexander spoke with quiet authority. "I caught a glimpse inside her car. Everything's top-of-the-line, and she might even have Skywrought—a rare material I've been hunting down for years."
Louis's eyes widened with disbelief. It would be remarkable if Avery genuinely possessed such a valuable resource and used it in an ordinary car.
Alexander continued, "She's also done a serious upgrade to the engine and tires. Her car's performance could easily match that of a luxury sports car."
Louis knew all too well how sharp Alexander was when it came to cars. He was amazed. "Incredible! It's crazy to see someone so young and so damn talented."
Alexander nodded. "The industry's still scratching their heads over how Isaac Murphy locked down that deal with V Group. Avery might be the missing piece to this whole puzzle.
"And then there's this strange connection between the Murphy family and Dr. Annie. From what I've heard, Isaac's mom is really fond of Avery. That girl could have some valuable intel on how to get to Dr. Annie."
Louis caught on quickly. "I'll arrange to dig into Avery."
Before long, they arrived at an upscale residential complex and watched as Avery drove inside. Although they could've followed her in, Louis chose to stay back, curious about what he was seeing.
Louis said, "Avery's biological parents are dirt poor, and Isaac Murphy is known to be a tight-fisted bastard. There's no way the Murphy family gave her much. Yet she's living in a luxury estate where apartments cost 40 grand a square foot and driving a beast of a car. She's definitely not hurting for cash."
Alexander, still cool and detached, instructed, "We'll keep a close watch on her tonight and pick up the trail tomorrow."
Louis, more intrigued by Avery than ever, answered with newfound energy, "Got it, Mr. Moran."
