Chapter 43 - Three musketeers

Jade's pov;

They were sitting across from me,the two troublemakers I have to watch everyday.

" You mean she suspects me?". Shawn asked with legs crossed as if ridden of all the care in the world

" No,she only suspects Max brought you home behind her back and Nelson is so attached to you because you saved him". Drey grinned cheekily.

I scoffed. " Do you think this is funny, if you slip up even a little more, she'll suspect your identity". I warned sternly.

" I know right, afterall she's my sister she's smart. I wonder the look on her face then". Drey butt in again.

I frowned in frustration," you still don't realize the gravity of this,do you. If she found out this early,do you know we won't be able to carry out our plans anymore. She'd be in even more danger than she already is".

" I know, I just, she's carrying so much alone. I can't see the light in her eyes anymore,it seemed the only thing keeping her going are Nelson and the baby in her womb. I can't bear to see her in so much pain".

I sighed," I understand but you have to be careful".

" Just like me, I'm the epitome of careful".

" What do you say about Nelson then, what if he slipped up?".

" Nelson is smart, he's more mature than you think,he cares about my sister's feeling too, very much".

Grrn grrn grrn

I heard my phone ring and I picked it up.

" What was it, you look like you swallowed a fly". Drey asked after I dropped the call.

I frowned," he's escaped,the one from Mira's incident"

They both went silent for a while.

" Or rather was rescued, no way could he escape on his own". Drey said after a while.

" Let's get to work then,they took the bait just like we expected".

" The problem is, the trackers were removed. As it is, they must be more advanced than I am in micro camera". I sighed.

" I don't think 5 Star did it". Drey said.

" Why?".

" They don't have such scientist, one more advanced than you, even in micro camera. It must be some other person".

He continued," but the interrogation we did before now reveals he is indeed from 5 Star but now, he'd been rescued by another people. I think ee we are up against more than one enemy this time,three if we must say. Max's father couldn't have done this,so the only possibility is a third party we don't know yet".

" That makes sense".

" Of course, I'm the king of analyses". He grinned.

" Do you think they are working together?".

" They may have started an alliance,it is also possible that the other person wants to use this chance to make an alliance. Why don't I just track them manually, I'm pretty good at that you know".

" Ok then, I'll do computer work here while Max will continue to monitor 5 Star on your behalf".

" Shawn". He corrected me.

" Oh right, Shawn. It's a great name by the way".

" Of course, I must say my brother-in-law is pretty good at picking names". Drey teased again.

Lexi's pov;

I went to see the doctor,a psychologist,this morning and it was just like I'd suspected but the doctor said instead of keeping them apart, I should let them meet often,it would do more good than bad.

So, I called Shawn today and he promised to come as soon as he's off work.

I spent the day with Nelson and thankfully he seemed to be more open to me than the previous day. Only, Mira still can't get close.
