Briana shook her head, "I’m sure this was no accident."
Cornelia asked, "Bri, got any suspects in mind? We need to give the cops as much info as we can so they can crack this case."
Briana shook her head again, "Me and my partners haven’t pissed anyone off, so it’s not a revenge thing. We're considering the possibility of a random act."
Now, a random act had its pros and cons. Downside was, with no leads, it was hard to get to the bottom of things. Upside was, if it was random, Briana wasn't someone's specific target, which was good for her safety.
Funny thing was, this case seemed clueless but also seemed full of leads. A possible suspect suddenly popped into Cornelia's mind. But Cornelia found the idea outrageous, thinking no matter how ruthless the person could be, they wouldn't harm their own flesh and blood.
However, little did Cornelia know, her outrageous idea might not be that far-fetched. In fact, it could be spot on. Because whoever was behind this couldn't contain their motives any longer and had begun to act.
Two burly men in suits showed up, their muscular bodies hidden under their attire.
One of the suit guys said, "Mrs. Hartley, Bri. Brennen has some intel on how Bri's expo stuff got swiped. You interested in hearing the details?"
Brennen Hartley was Marcus and Briana's dad. Just hearing his name made Briana tense up, "Did he have someone swipe my stuff?"
Briana had a gut feeling about the answer because Brennen had the chops to pull something like this off without anyone knowing. And the fact he sent someone over meant he had wiped any evidence pointing his way. He was safe.
Suit guy said, "Why don't you ask Brennen yourself, Bri?"
