One more threat
After a while of thinking, he made a decision in his mind.Once the unit was eventually formed, because he would make sure it was created, he would volunteer to join it personally.While on the team, he would investigate Axel himself.If she was from the sect she would try to steer the team away from her. He decided that he would make it his mission to investigate her himself.No traitor will escape my sight.~ ~ ~Back at the Bank, Axel had tried to get herself a little rest from her own mind.After the call with Ava, her pulse had still been erratic, and her palms clammy. She’d splashed water on her face in the restroom, and forced down three deep breaths, and tried to convince herself she could hold the rest of the day together. Ava’s instructions echoed in her skull like a beating drum: Keep your head down. Finish your tasks. Do not attract attention.She felt like a child that was in a military home, but she knew she at the very least owed it to Ethan. He had risked a lot to s
Night Valley Sect Suspect
Jason nodded. He had expected that answer from Ava. He also was not willing to take such a risk.Ava paced once, her hands behind her back. “Since Alexander doesn’t have any way to track the Young Master directly, he’ll fall back to the only lead he thinks he has.”“Axel,” Jason finished her train of thoughts.“Exactly,” she nodded.“He’ll watch her. Follow her. Use her, trying to get access to the Young Master” Ava tapped the side of her thigh anxiously, trying to find a solution. “To stop that from happening, we move her.”“We have to move her, and we have to do it immediately. Before he even gets a chance to guess where the Young Master is.”Jason frowned. “How many people are you planning to send?”“A strong extraction team,” Ava replied. “Enough cars to…”“No.” Jason shook his head sharply before she finished. “If you send a heavy convoy, Alexander will notice. And if we’re trying to keep the Master hidden from him, the last thing we need is his men following a parade of SUVs
Bluffing
After a while of thinking, Ava finally spoke, keeping her voice as calm as she could, trying not to make Axel panic even more.“Okay. Listen to me carefully.”Axel wiped her eyes again, trying to steady her shaking hand as she waited for the instructions..“Do not call the police,” Ava instructed. “Do not panic in public. Do not leave work early or do anything suspicious. Alexander might already be watching you.”Axel swallowed hard. “But… Ethan…”“And that is exactly why you must NOT do anything emotional,” Ava cut in. “If Alexander suspects for even a second that you are living with Ethan, he will send men to follow you home. And if they find him…”She didn’t finish the sentence.She didn’t need to.Axel felt her blood run cold.“Here’s what you’re going to do,” Ava said. “You will stay in that office and finish your work. Fix whatever your supervisor wants. Get through the rest of your day as if everything is normal. Do you understand me?”Axel nodded hard, even though Ava could
Crashing out
Axel thought about ways to try to convince the cops that Alexander was going to do something terrible to Ethan, or at least he was planning to.But nothing seemed like it would make sense to them without her looking like she was trying to run Alexander’s name and reputation into the mud.She wrapped her arms around herself, pacing again, trying to think.Her thoughts spiraled, every idea she came up with collapsed and shattered against a wall of ‘no evidence’.The police wouldn’t help her. They would probably just laugh and call it a prank, or worse, they would leak it to the Cole family.She stopped pacing only to start again.She thought for a while about her options then she remembered and quickly scrolled through her contact list for Ava’s number.She couldn’t risk telling Ethan himself. She didn’t know the protocols for these things. Besides, he had gone to the office, and she didn’t know how busy he would be.She wasn’t going to risk calling and distracting him. “Let’s let Ava
Knight in shining armor
With a smile on her face, Axel sat at her desk ready to see her dream come true.Her mind was already conjuring up the words that Ethan might have sent. The more she thought about it, the more she smiled.She ruffled through the bouquet for the card and her mind went wild again.The card was tucked delicately between the petals of the tulips. She pulled it free and unfolded it. ‘How did he even know about my favorite flowers?’ she thought to herself skimming through the content of the letter absent mindedly.‘Maybe he went through my social media and figured it out? Or was it Ava that did the digging for him?’She kept smiling at the thoughts she was getting, but then she realized that what she was reading wasn’t making sense.Not because it was gibberish, but because it was not resonating with anything her mind was expecting.She had been so occupied in her thoughts as she read that she didn’t even realize what she had been reading, even after reading it over and over again.She cle
The flower bouquet
Axel’s thoughts halted as she took a closer look at the desk, it was a flower bouquet.“How did I not notice that?” she straightened up and pulled her chair towards it.The bouquet sat there, perfectly arranged. She couldn’t think of how it was there, or who even brought it to the office.She didn’t have a personal secretary, so there was no one really taking note of who goes into her office, so she couldn’t say she would just go out and ask her secretary.She looked at the door confused, but she wasn’t frowning.“Who would have brought this in here,” she wondered out loud.The bouquet was a a mixture of daffodils and tulips. Those were her favorite flowers, and there were only a handful of people that knew that, other than her parents and a few high school friends.She didn’t realize when a smile slowly crawled on her face.She made her way out of the office to the open space with her subordinates working.“Um… Guys, can I get your attention real quick?” she said, drawing everyone’s
