Randy stepped forward and pushed back the man''s matted hair.
His eyes widened. "Holy crap! Edgar Odom?"
Edgar looked much better than theyst saw him. He was no longer that haggard and looked much calmer.
Debra crouched in front of him. "Remember the money you owe me, Mr. Odom?"
Edgar''s calm shattered. He lunged, but the two bodyguards held him back down. "Don''t move."
Debra smirked, "Tell Mr. Eaton Sr. we appreciate the gift. This is very thoughtful."
"Mr. Eaton Sr. said he might have the intel you want. But squeezing it out? That''s your job."
"Fair enough."
"Debra, you''re not actually trading him for us, are you?" Gand shouted.
He kept struggling but could not break free. Meanwhile, Liza was brought down from the second floor.
The lead bodyguard asked, "Mrs. Houston, can we take Mr. Gand Eaton and Miss Eaton with us now?"
Debra tilted her head. "Do you want to go?"
Gand vigorously shook his head. "No. I''d rather die here."
Liza echoed, "Same. I haven''t had enough fun yet."
Debra sighed, "But I already epted the trade. Can''t disrespect your father. Why don''t you just go back with them?"
Gand''s jaw dropped. "You''re ditching us for Edgar?"
"You can alwayse back."
"I''ll be 80 by then."
Marion listened to the exchange with amusement.
Debra wavedzily. "Take them."
As the guards hauled the siblings outside, Debra winked at Marion.
He smiled knowingly, "On it."

The lead bodyguard scowled. "What now? Is Mrs. Houston going back on her

Marion raised a brow. "She''s inviting you to stay as guests. Interested?" swhovel
The siblings gaped, and Marion repeated, "Interested or not?" "Yes," Liza blurted.
Gand echoed, "Me too."
Marion nodded with satisfaction. "Good."
