NovelEnglishFrank could tell right then that Jason must have done something unusual to confirm if the box of bone ashes was truly a box of bone ashes.
"You can't be blamed," he assured Jason. "People always think for themselves." Jason nodded. "Well, it's weird now that we talk about it... but ever since I had a taste, I feel like I have endless energy. It's like I mutated!" It was a joke, but Frank did not laugh, as he remembered what Jason said.

"Alright, just take care and rest well," Frank told him. "I have something I need to do, so I'll be on leave for a few days." "Oh, sure!" Jason nodded. "Just do what you need to do, and you can even leave without asking-you'll be paid anyway! That said, I'm just worried if you're going alone, so have Lara tag along." "There's no need for that!" Frank shook his head.
He had long since decided to work alone-one less person was one less worry, especially given the strangeness of this entire affair. However, his intentions would not beat Jason's 'schemes', as he summoned Lara after Frank left.
"You're worried that the fatso would cafter you, no?" Jason chuckled. "Well, Mr. Frankton is running off on an errand. Why don't you go with him?" Lara nodded without hesitation. "Just giveleave, and I will stick with him at all times!" Jason nodded. "Then, go!" "Thank you, Mr. Chand!" Hence, after Frank left the hospital and got into the car, the backseat door opened and Lara entered.
"What are you doing?" Frank asked, puzzled.
"Following you, what else?" Lara shut the door nonchalantly and started tapping on her phone.

They reached Luis Tembo's apartment after getting his address, only to see that it was empty inside! Puzzled, he knocked on the neighbor's door.
An elderly woman smiled as she poked her head out. "Yes? Are you looking for someone?" "Yes, I'd like to speak with Luis Tembo," Frank said. "He used to live here, yes? Where did he move to?" The old woman's face fell when she heard Luis' name, and she slammed the door shut with a loud bang. "I don't know!" After that, she did not respond no matter how many times Frank knocked, and he sighed as he left with Lara.

Get out here or we'll kill you!" Content belongs to en.kikistories"Please!" The old woman groaned inside her apartment unit. "I'm a little short on money lately, can't you lethave an extension?" "Extension?! Who's going to be nice to us if we're being nice to you?! Today's the deadline, so pay up, or we're breaking in!" Knowing that pleading was futile anyway, the old woman turned silent.
That only left the burly men outside seething, and they started to strike at the door.

"Quit meddling, boy! That hag owes us, big time, and it's only reasonable that we get it back from her! Con, test our patience and see what happens!" Content belongs toen.kikistories.com
