Chapter 104. Sovereign Grounds

“I just got off the phone with Mr Oakley,” he replied, joining her at the counter to get a cup of freshly brewed coffee. “He invited us to his home.”

“Yup,” Detective Ben replied, giving her a paper towel to wipe her hands. “I was equally shocked, but he said since we now know that the stalker is hiding and not actively looking for them, it’s ok for us to come to them now.”

“Wow,” Carolanne breathed. “He really trusts us, uhn? What if we decide to sell the information? What is the address he sent?”
