"Mr. Dane, both of our targets are in sight. Should we make an arrest?”
"Are you certain? They're both women, and one is rather tanned, while the other is Yvette Tanner?" Jaxon hastily asked.
It'll be bad if that person isn't Yvette Tanner's sister, and we inadvertently alerted them to our presence.
"Mr. Dane, one of them is fair, while the other is tanned. However, we can't see their faces. All we can see is their backs. But we are certain that they alighted from a red Porsche. Should we make an arrest?" the officer, who was keeping watch at the airport, inquired once more.
