"That black guy?"
"...Yes!"
"Interesting!"
Lake looked thoughtfully at Brian. "He told you personally?"
Brian said, "Yes. I thought he was a good person..."
Lake smiled. "Reason!"
Brian opened his mouth.
Mia, who had just hugged Rachel over there, walked over and said, "Brian was able to return to the Los Angeles FBI because he signed the transfer order."
Lake looked at Brian.
Brian nodded.
That made sense.
Did he think everyone was like Lake, able to go wherever they wanted? The federal rules were complicated. Brian couldn't simply say he wanted to go to a certain branch office and then be allowed to go there.
Brian took another look at Dominic, then said to Lake, "Actually... before I returned to Los Angeles, Letty had already been recruited by the FBI as an undercover agent. As it happened, that director asked me to go back and take charge of the matter. But I never expected... Shit, if I'd known, I should have made him sign an agreement."
Lake chuckled. "Yes, you should have asked him for a written agreement."
The new black director of the FBI had not climbed his way up step by step. He had taken the political route and assumed the position in an emergency.
Politicians' words were worth nothing.
And this one was a black politician at that.
Rachel looked at the expression on Lake's face and frowned slightly. "Was that trap meant for you back then?"
Lake rubbed his chin. "Who knows?"
It was the same as before.
Having made it this far, he no longer cared about schemes. They could try whatever they wanted, but they would never succeed. And once they were exposed, Lake would show no mercy.
No politician could possibly be unaware of how he had attained his current position.
However...
