Dennis Lee bit back a curse as he looked at the runner who had given him the information. The kid wasn’t at fault; far from it. At not quite nineteen, he was a definite go-getter. “I admire your initiative, Landen. Thanks for telling me.”
“You’re welcome, sir.”
“Now, I want you to take this to Officer Collin Eugent.”
As soon as the boy was gone, Dennis Lee thought about what information Landen had brokered.
Those damned Henedys were going to cause him untold problems. Reggie had undercut four of his bids to the city.
Bids Dennis Lee needed accepted.
Henedy Construction had been his primary funnel for going on two years now. If the city chose Henedy’s company over Dennis Lee’s, it could potentially cause too many questions to be asked.
Especially with Jenny not being as careful as she should have been lately.
But this…Jenny was going to be too distracted by this latest problem. Damn Wallace Henedy. The man was nothing but trouble, and a fool to boot.
But what concerned Dennis Lee the most was just exactly how much of Dennis Lee’s business Wallace Henedy might be aware of.
If the man decided to start making bargains to get favors now, that could prove problematic for Dennis Lee.
He needed to do some thinking. But first, he needed information.
That meant some phone calls.
First, he had to do one thing. There was a lady out there he needed to check on.
Jenny had to be near hysterical now. This was the last thing that poor girl needed. He’d have to help fix this, because if there was one truth right now for Dennis Lee—he needed Jenny more than he had any other woman before.
And Dennis Lee always got what he needed. No matter what the cost.
