"I appreciate you speaking up for me, Billy."
Bonnie tucked her phone away. She pretended to take the higher road and said to Falcon, "I won't take your actions or words to heart, Falcon. After all, we're in the same boat. There's no need to hold you accountable for something so trivial."
A hint of admiration flashed in Billy’s eyes.
"Take a look at Barrett. He might be young, but he's way better at dealing with people than you are."
Billy gave Falcon a look. "You have much to learn from Barrett!"
All Falcon could do was gnash his teeth and swallow his anger. "Understood, Billy! I'll learn from him."
"Okay," Billy responded dryly.
"Alright. Now that we've resolved this misunderstanding, we shouldn't dwell on this anymore. Let's keep going."
"Roger, Billy."
"You got it, Billy."
Bonnie and Falcon responded simultaneously before walking behind Billy.
…
Collin read the location Bonnie shared with him, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Then, he raised his head and ordered a few of his men standing in front of him, "You guys are coming with me. We'll take the opposite direction."
"Roger." They nodded respectfully and followed Collin.
