Chapter Thirty SuspicionAugusta picked up her private intercom and called out to the caretaker’s cottage. A male voice answered. “Yes?” “I need to speak to Randall.” There was a moment’s silence and then Randall came on the line. “Good morning, Augusta.” “Randall, something is going on with Gerald. I found him with Rachel this morning, and he looked very guilty when he saw me. I’m sure he is going to betray us.” “Well, he will at least try to wiggle out of his part in all this. I’ve seen his type before. He’s weak and cowardly and has no stomach for this kind of operation.” “What should we do?” “I’m already on it. My men are watching him to make sure he doesn’t try to leave or mess up our plans. He is a liability, of course. I assume you will want to deal with him at some point.”
