Chapter 16: _ Oh, Mate
Rhett shook his head. "Direct questioning would yield quicker results, Alpha. We can detect deception, and inconsistencies, and potentially uncover crucial information. That will only be possible when we confront them directly. We do not have a reason to cower or hide behind shadows. We helped them. We also have the right to question them."
Beowulf glanced at Darius, who met his gaze with a nod and a grunt. "I like Rhett's plan, Beowulf," Darius declared. "If you trust him to lead the investigation, I'm willing to lend a hand."
Rhett felt a pang of unease. Why was the Alpha deferring to the Beta on such a critical decision? He didn't like this. He knew his dislike for the Alpha was justified.
Anytime he had a bad feeling about a person, it was always justified.
Beowulf seemed to be thoughtful for a while and finally, he cleared his throat.
"Very well, Gamma Rhett. You have my permission. Proceed with the questioning, but keep Darius involved. Your combined experience will be invaluable."
More like Darius is in charge, listen to him. Rhett would never like an Alpha who seemed unable to make decisions for himself. His business was done here.
He rose from his seat and offered the Alpha a slight bow. "Very well then, Alpha. I will take my leave now."
The Alpha extended a hand and Rhett shook it. Darius also initiated a handshake that Rhett met. "See you at the investigations, Gamma."
"Yes." He stoically stated and left.
