If Laurie's bid for Governor were successful, as her secretary, he would naturally rise with her. However, the risk involved was still too great for him to dare to take a gamble.
"I certainly know the stakes are very high, but David is not just a little capable, he actually got the entire FBI system in Nevada State on his side!"
"What did you say?"
Sherwood doubted his own ears, looking at Laurie incredulously.
"Somehow, David managed to win over Gavin. Now it seems Gavin can only obey his commands."
"How... how is that possible..."
This time, Sherwood was even more shocked than before.
Who was Gavin?
He was none other than the biggest boss of the Nevada State FBI.
And David, even if recently high-profile, was merely a Chief Tax Officer. The difference in their levels was huge.
Yet now, Gavin was supposedly taking orders from David?
If he hadn't heard it from Laurie, he would certainly have cursed the messenger for spouting nonsense.
