After a brief moment of silence, Jackson finally spoke. Although he guessed it was too late by then. "Yeah..." he chuckled, one hand at the back of his head. "There's nobody else here. You know...just me and Jenny..." He laughed nervously.Nathan gave himself a facepalm. "That idiot," he muttered through gritted teeth afterwards. They waited for Isaiah to reply, each of them hoping that he had swallowed the lie hook, line, and sinker."Okay, sure..." Isaiah replied monotonously. Everybody else around the table breathed together in relief, even though the guilt still lingered in the hearts of Jenny and Jackson. "Hey Jenny!" He called out unexpectedly. Jenny froze up. She wanted to speak to him, but she was not in any state of mind to do so immediately. Her heart raced speedily. She fumbled around for what to say. "Hey, Isaiah," she said. "Where have you been?""I'm sorry for everything," Isaiah replied. "But I promise that I will make it up to you immediately, you hear? I will tell

It was now pitch darkness outside of the room. Isaiah had gained more control over his body and had begun walking. He was staring outside of the window, thinking about the Gambinos and the chances that they would find him here. Behind him, Luke sat, hands inspecting his neck to see if it was now better healed. Kate just stood beside them like a statue, as she always did. Elena was nowhere to be found there."What do you think is going to happen?" Luke asked. Isaiah did not turn around. "I don't know," he said. "I never thought that this was going to happen. If someone had told me that you would be with me in the same room as Elena and Kate one day, I wouldn't have believed it. My head is short of plans."Luke sighed. "So you're saying that there is nothing we could do. Nothing you could fix?""I am even trying to conclude if whether or not it demands fixing," Isaiah said, this time spinning around to look at his friend's face squarely.Luke swallowed, and a sudden dullness encroached

"Come join me," Costa said, raising a glass to the trio. "I am good," Nathan said, noting that Cost was either drunk or he was trying to portray himself as drunk."Don't worry," Jackson said, one hand raised. "I am okay just sitting here and not drinking," replied Jenny."I see...well, that's no fun," Costa judged. "We did not come here for fun," Nathan retorted harshly. "We came here for information. And somehow we've not gotten anything from you. And now you want to have a drunken toast?""You came here because I threatened you there, smart ass," Costa said. Now it was most obvious he was nearly carried away by the alcohol. "Did you always know about the Lobbes neighborhood? Did you know your friend went there the same day that happened?"Nathan was quiet. Jenny was shaken quite obviously. Costa put his hand in his suit, drew out a gun, and pointed it at her. "And you, you better start talking before my finger slips and your brains become splurged right behind you. Of course you

"But something happened, didn't it?" Costa noted, his eyes intensely fixed on Jenny.Jenny's lips moved but produced no sound. Nathan frowned at this. He did not like the methods Costa was using to extract information. He did not trust the man, as after all his goals were still unclear, and he had them right in his palm at this point. Still, he was not the type to keep shut when he was confronted by something he did not like."Don't treat her like that," he blurted out. "What did you say?" Costa asked. His voice sounded like hell. "She isn't well, can't you see?" Nathan said. "She is sick. You're only making her feel worse. She doesn't know anything, as she said.""Okay, okay." Costa raised his palms; a charismatic smile stained his face. "I am the bad guy for wanting to help. Well, of course I am, but she knows something.""And how do you know?" Nathan asked. There was no lack of curiosity in his voice. "You haven't given us any reason to trust in anything you say. If you have ac

From the gate came a man in a body-hugging suit. He had the look of a god. His hair was black and curly, and his eyes were the color of clouds. Ash gray. He seemed to have been born to intimidate and be jealous.All three of them stared with their jaws dropped low as the man came forward. They wondered if he was the caller. They doubted it. They were imagining a rough-looking man, one that would have the appearance of the voice that had thundered from the phone. Well, if they were being honest, the man in front of them had the look of thunder and lightning fashioned into human form. A Greek god. It was Costa. One of the sons of the Gambinos. Again he found himself deep into the business of Isaiah. Now he was close to the car; raising his hand, he tapped on the roof of the car. Nathan, wind down. He managed to smack off the stupid look on his face before it made him come across as dim."Follow me," Costa said and began walking back inside."Maybe that's not him. Maybe that's the body
Chapter 210
The thirty minutes was over soon enough. In its duration, the trio had spent the time trying to speak to one another but only found themselves in a bind each time. Jenny and Jackson still did not trust Nathan, and Nathan was getting tired of pretending that he needed them to trust him. "It's time to go," the blond said at once, parking his laptop in his bag."Finally," Jenny said. "Any extra second and we would have killed ourselves," Jackson said. It was as if he was trying not to laugh, and the air kept piling itself in his throat, forcing him to wheeze. Jenny and Nathan said nothing. In a few minutes the trio found themselves in Nathan's car. It was a Lexus. A car no doubt less expensive than Isaiah's Rolls Royce. Jenny nearly asked, "By riding such a car, is your father basically the richest man in the world?" She knew him to be. But she kept her questions to herself. She wanted to avoid at all costs the blond's intuitive ability, which would have led them into another bout
