653 Clue

"Hoskin, listen to me."

"You continue your digging. I've picked up a guy watching us behind the alleyway around 20 meters away. You remain your digging for now and after two to three minutes, I need you to pretend that you are frustrated that you didn't find anything and I'll ask for water. You then head towards the cruiser and I'll create a window for you to approach him."

Kieran purposely lowered his voice and explained his plans.

"Got it!"

Hoskin didn't even raise his head and continued digging the ruins.

The young officer seemed to grasp Kieran's plan right away.

After two to three minutes, Hoskin stood up as though he had exhausted his efforts.

"Damn it, nothing at all!" The young officer ranted.

"Take it slow, don't rush… Hoskin, can you get me a bottle of water?" Kieran said with a smile.

"Yeah."

Hoskin nodded and turned around to the street where he parked the cruiser. He made his way towards the alleyway where the spy was with the cover of his cruiser.
