After a weighted silence, Zack's resistance crumbled. “I had those three cars investigated,” he confessed,
choosing his words carefully. “The information points to one person behind it all: Dewey—Corrine’s father.”
The bombshell left Moses visibly stunned.

Moses watched them leave with raised eyebrows. “What's going on? Did those two have a fight?”
