But soon enough he had fresh doubts:
"But boss, if Carlos Valois ends up six feet under,
Won't our push to investigate him stick out like a sore thumb?"
Freeman shook his head:
"Complete opposite.
On the surface, we look like we're playing it safe.
Our whole angle is just bringing him in, hoping Carlos Valois will play ball with the investigation.
Common sense says
Anyone cooking up schemes in the shadows definitely wouldn't make this much noise right now.
This cuts way down on suspicion.
Most important, the Black Sinners will actively move to solve our problem as payment.
We stay clean!
Only when Carlos Valois is worm food
Can the Golden Sand Society threat get wiped off the map completely!"
After Carlos ratted out and crushed the Golden Sand Society,
Freeman's gut told him Todd's cover was blown.
For his own hide, this kid absolutely had to take a dirt nap!
Todd's eyes went wide.
The ones making the hit were actually Black Sinners.
