Chapter 497: Hold my popcorn
After Penny’s quick visit to the prison, she briefly reflected on the exchange she’d had with her brother’s attacker. However, by the time she reached her office, she didn’t think much of it anymore. She had already gotten what she wanted.
While questioning the man and riling him up, Penny had obtained the answers she was after. All she really wanted to know was how and why the man claimed Slater had killed him. Though she didn’t get a full explanation, she had her suspicions.

Slater lazily cast her a look. "Penny, are you kicking me out?"
"No, I’m just wondering if you have any other plans."
"Nope. I don’t have work." He sighed, turning his attention back to his phone. "Penny, I’m so bored. Let’s go do something fun."

Slater glanced at the stack of papers on her desk before looking away. "K."
