Brennen said, "I only have one son. Who the hell is Marcus?"
Zavier was speechless.
Brennen continued, "Our attempt to kidnap Cornelia failed. Because of this, Marcus will definitely tighten up her security. It'll be tougher to get to her next time."
Granger said, "If we can't kidnap her, we can trick her into walking right into our trap."
Brennen asked, "Got any bright ideas?"
Granger said, "We can spread a rumor that her mom, Clair, is still alive. Once she hears that, she'll be hell-bent on finding her."
Brennen said, "That woman is smart. She won't be easily fooled."
Granger asserted, "She's been with Marcus for a while, and they've got feelings for each other. Trying to convince her that you made up the story about Marcus killing Jeremy won't be easy. But this is a different case. Her family is dead. If she thinks her mom is still alive, she'll lose her cool. And people tend to screw up when they're not thinking straight."
Brennen said, "In the absence of a better plan, you can give this a shot."
Granger said, "I'll tell her the news tomorrow. But who should deliver the message to make sure she doesn't suspect anything?"
Brennen said, "Her sister, I guess."
Granger said, "Alright, I'll message the little girl right away."
