Not long after Braydon and Sigurd were locked in a cell at the prison at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor, Nathan arrived with Colin, Sage, and the others.
“Chief Cross!” Braydon and Sigurd called out in shock when they saw him.
Colin brought a chair over and wiped the seat.
Nathan slowly took a seat before looking at the Goodall brothers, who were behind bars. With a smile, he said, “Mr. Braydon, Mr. Sigurd,
greetings.”
Both brothers were freaking out internally as strange looks appeared on their faces.
A beat later, Bray don squeezed out a smile and rubbed his hands. “Greetings, Chief Cross. There has been a misunderstanding. Please don't be angry. We’ll certainly apologize and make amendments for anything we haven't been able to excel in our work...”
Nathan flatly said, “I don't think there is any misunderstanding here. You've decided on your own to tail and eavesdrop on me without receiving any orders from the higher-ups; you've decided to start an investigation on me on your own. Is this not the truth?”
Both Bray don and Sigurd opened and closed their mouths but were unable to say anything to that.
Nathan uttered, “Since you can't deny it, there's no misunderstanding here. My schedule and conversations are all kept confidential. You're both currently suspects of espionage. Now that you're both arrested, I hope you won't assume that you'll be able to get out of this easily.”
Braydon bit his lower lip before saying, “Chief Cross, what can we do so that you'll let us go?”
Nathan calmly replied, “You've already enraged me when you targeted Mr. Lucas. It's true that Mr. Lucas has done illegal things. He has not been disciplined enough, and that's why fruit flies like you have laid eyes on him. There's nothing I can say about that, and that's why I'm not holding you accountable for that matter. However, you've decided to target me. Did you think that I'm weak just because I've launched no attacks on you?”
By then, Braydon and Sigurd already had deep frowns on their faces.
