With his cap again concealing his face, Jorge managed to sneak off the plane amongst the passengers.
He got off the plane and followed the crowd to the exit. Seeing several uniformed policemen at the gate, Jorge deliberately lowered the brim of his hat and tried to slink away.
Just when he thought Jorge had escaped, however, a cop approached him and took out a pair of handcuffs, which shone silver in the reflected light. "Sir, will you mind coming with us?"
Jorge muttered a curse, turned around, and ran away. Because of his limp, he wasn't able to run very fast, however, and he soon fell to the ground. Seconds later, the cop caught up with him and arrested him on the spot.
But later, at the police department, even after several interrogations, Jorge still refused to talk.
The police checked his phone and found that there was indeed a mastermind behind it all, who had ordered Jorge to kill Janet.
But it was obviously a burner phone and they couldn't track down the person with the limited information they found on Jorge's phone.
The cop placed the phone down on the table in front of Jorge and demanded, "What on earth did you do? Tell me! Who ordered you to kill Janet
Larson?"
Jorge leaned back in his chair casually, fearlessly looking the cop directly in the eye. He laughed maniacally until he could laugh no more. Then he said in a low voice, "Don't worry about Janet. She'll survive. Someone else, though, is doomed." ******
Janet insisted that Draco get an overall check-up but she herself would skip it.
Brandon was, however, and arranged for an examination for Janet as well.
"I wasn't even attacked by Jorge. Is it really necessary?" Janet was reluctant to undergo the exam.
"Just in case." Brandon guided Janet into the examination room.
While he waited outside for Janet to emerge, Brandon got a call from the police.
"Jorge still said nothing." He was giving the police a great deal of trouble.
"Keep trying." Brandon's face hardened. "Until he tells us everything."
"We found a call log between Jorge and someone else on his phone. That should be the person behind this all. But Jorge didn't say anything and just kept laughing like a maniac. Maybe he succeeded in his task. Whatever that task might have been."
"Check if Jorge has a concealed weapon hidden on him anywhere." Brandon's eyes narrowed.
