Chapter 149 Incapable

• There was no way Paul would have concealed the news from my uncle. The kidnapping received extensive coverage in Kisqui, and by lunchtime, everyone was aware of it, despite it occurring in the morning.
• Cora, being the mayor's wife, took centre stage with Paul urging the lieutenants to pressure the reporters to focus their energies on Cora instead. The news outlets covered Joey’s death, with Cora as the main witness. Paul could never be a broken man, but he was undeniably affected.
• Kisqui law enforcement treated the matter with great urgency. Seedling Centre was closed off, and an official homicide case was opened for Joey. Paul, maintaining his composure, displayed no hint of emotion. He returned to the man he once was, known as Master Paul before my arrival.
