"Alright. Take your time, chief. Tell me the moment you come up with it. After all, it's a big deal, and I know you can't rush these things."
Collin was anxious, but he considered Bonnie's circumstances and decided to comfort her a little.
'Billy is smart. If Bonnie slips up even once, he'd surely catch it. Chief has to deal with such a crafty character and solve the incident with Ivor. She's under a lot of pressure now.
'That's why I have to comfort her instead of giving her more pressure.'
"Okay. I'm working on it," she responded dryly and tried hard to figure out a solution.
Suddenly, something popped into her mind and her eyes sparkled. "I've got it!"
He asked at once, "What's the plan?"
"Tell Toby to send word to Ivor that I'm busy now. I'll call him when I'm free. Then, you'll go to my room and retrieve my phone from the safe. Call Ivor and keep our line open. I'm going to talk to him through your phone." She laid out the plan calmly.
Collin smacked his thigh. "What a great idea, chief! After all, you're the one who knows him best. He wouldn't be satisfied unless he talked to you himself."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about. That's why I need to talk to him directly." She rubbed her brow. "I hope I can comfort him enough so he won't fly back to Pyralis to look for me."
