Marco's grin stretched wider than his face as he stared at his phone."Why are you smiling like that?" Lily asked him.They were seated in the living room watching a movie while Lily stuffed her race with popcorn."Well, we got them," Marco said.Lily looked at him with a confused expression, "Got who?"Marco sighed, he leveled her with a look that screams boredom."Chris and co," he said finally.Lily grinned, "you going to explain this one?""The person hired got pictures of Ford going into a warehouse owned by Thompson and later on, Chris drove out with someone in the passenger seat.""Kelvin."
