"I slept so well..."
Green opened his eyes from a deep slumber.
He first glanced around in a daze before realizing, "Is this..."
"The case is closed."
Brian was driving, his voice soft, "Yesterday, you were knocked out by that monster's sonic attack, but I took care of the creature afterward. This case is over. Don't talk about last night's events willy-nilly. If anyone tries to pry, just give me a call."
Hearing Brian's words, it took a while for Green to remember what had happened the previous night.
A look of relief flashed across his face.
Thank goodness Brian, the big man, was there last night; otherwise, I'd probably be toast.
"Boss Brian, thank you—I owe you my life!"
Green said gratefully.
Brian shrugged, "You're my guy, I've got your back, no need for thanks."
Without Green as bait yesterday, he wouldn't have tricked the monster into losing its accurate alertness, leading it into the neurotoxin trap.
