Billy wouldn’t be an asset in Noah’s investigation. He’d already made up his mind about Noah, and there would be no trust or friendship built between them. Ben had to be the key. If Noah could figure out where Ben stood, that would tell him all he needed to know about Billy as well. The calm, good-natured man didn’t seem the type to involve himself in such a risky venture. And that’s what it was. Even with all of the group’s apparent care and planning, a rebellion here wouldn’t be widespread enough—McCray would send every liquidator he had, and they would kill everyone involved. Someone like Ben had to be aware of the inevitable outcome. Billy’s involvement made more sense—the angry, single man had nothing to lose. Ben would leave behind a wife and two young sons. It would be too risky for him to be involved of his own volition. Noah needed to figure out if Billy had somehow coerced his brother into helping. But Ben had been the more dominant during their interchange, and Noah couldn’t see him taking orders from Billy.
