Aaron decided it would be best to be honest. Gray always seemed to appreciate forthrightness, which was ironic considering how fake he was.
"I don't want a murderer near my children but my children aren't here, are they? I don't have a problem with what you did. I'm glad that woman is gone."
This time, Gray's smile was definitely sincere. "And that's all that matters. I did it entirely for you, after all. It's simply an annoyance that I got caught. Apparently, someone waited until Brann Knighton's reward went up to give the tip that nailed me. Some people can be so greedy."
He seemed utterly unsuspicious about Aaron's involvement in the matter. What a relief! Everything had gone exactly according to plan. Aaron would have to let Aiden know what a good job he did later.
"I'm surprised you didn't act a little more cautiously."
