Detective Leon wished he could beat the hell out of James Wendover. He had almost lost his job and reputation by following a criminal to the Thornston estate. It was a wide-known fact that Ian Thornston was a reasonable but strict man.
Leon thanked the heavens for that because he would have been in deep trouble if Ian had decided to pursue this. It would have been an act of insubordination, amongst other charges, that would have cost him everything he had built up in life!
However, not only did he not hold him accountable, he also handed him evidence on a silver platter!
Gratitude shone in his eyes, and he got so overwhelmed that he dared not say anything.
Cupping his hands, he looked straight at Ian,
"Thank you, Master Ian. I will never forget this favour!"
His address of Ian had changed drastically, but to save him face, no one pointed that out. He thanked the old couple as well.
