A riddle wrapped in a mystery
"The case will probably be close," Mike proudly uttered over the line. Satisfaction was evident in his tone. "You are almost free, Gerald." His friend's voice boomed on his receiver, full of jubilation.
"Was that your handiwork, Mike?" He specifically asked. His mind had been wondering about the case that was airing all over the news.
He heard about Nick's death last night, but he was sure he had not ordered the hit on him. He still had plans for the man, and killing him was at the last of his agendas.
However, he considered that Mike might have misinterpreted his plans. Therefore, he wanted to clarify it before jumping to any conclusion.
"Nope, that was not me." Mike quickly answered. "Wait!" Realization began to dawn on him. "That was not you." His friend expressed his surprise, making him cringe at the sound of his loud voice.
