"Oh. I forgot to say, I mean it as a sarcasm."
Cassie told Jared so the man frowned
"Are you trying to get back to me?"
He asked back. But Cassie no longer entertained his question and instead went back to their topic.
"As I am saying, regardless of what you are telling yourself to keep you asleep at night, no altruistic reason could justify your act of taking someone else's lives."
Jared, on the other hand, no longer argued.
"Fair enough. But likewise, just as I am saying as well...."
He replied with a drawl while using a poor imitation of Cassie's accent, he continued.
"I will be taking your friend with me for the common good."
Jared said in a tone that suggest it was not open for negotiation.
Cassie also understood the severity of the situation and she full understood that she has no means to keep her friend safe other than to let Jared handle her.
