It was exposed as the clandestine activity of those who wanted…
Quiet Kill Reacher did as instructed, handing over out the requested amount and then handed it to him. “Thank you,” said Bones placing the cash in his black attaché case, without any intention of actually purchasing the igloo plate. Reacher did not know that everybody except the “buyer” loses.

Buster shot his head up with a loud snort, shifting from hoof to hoof, spooked by the call of a predator. "Calm down, Buster. Easy there," Aerith cooed, grasping onto the rein and tugged, gesturing him to lower his head while stroking his neck.
