Alex was back on the road soon after and Jason didn't even attempt to do anything, he maintained his quiet and Alex appreciated his cooperation.
Bella was waiting for an opening but for some reason, it never came.
She didn't know how Alex did it but no one could exploit his weakness, it was almost like he didn't have any.
He was a tactician and also a man that had no problems sacrificing others for his mission.
He was given the mission to retrieve Bella and in actuality, he had every intention of killing Max and John himself because he understood what their intentions with Bella were.
They could kill Bella and say the zombies got her, no one would question it but luckily, Bella found capable people to protect her.
Alex knew that this would cause problems and this was why he was assigned to go with Max and John, it was to keep an eye on them.
