Chapter 106

“So why was no one else on board with your thinking?”

Mason’s body twitched. “In the beginning, everyone who counted was afraid to take their eyes off Dendrospis Angusticeps. But then I found who the money man was for the new group and everything made sense.”

“And the guy I saw is the money man?” Noah wasn’t totally surprised. The world was small, and there’d been other cases during his time as a SEAL he’d found that out.

“Yeah. But once he died, so did all our theories. Things continued to happen, but the trail of where the money funding the group came from ran cold. Made everyone think our focus had been misplaced.”

Noah shook his head. “Everyone but you.”

“Exactly, everyone but me. There were still too many disparities between the two groups and the damage they’d caused. And now with you seeing this guy in April, this all makes sense.”

“What about if he died the next day—right after I saw him? How would that affect your theory?” Noah asked.
