Worried Jade

CHAPTER 57

 "He won't be able to. Regardless, I would be out of the city for some days." Arctic words stuck a chord in Jade's heart as she felt like a knot suddenly tied in her stomach.

"Why, what happened? Can't you send someone to look into it? Must you go?" Jade's voice quaked a bit, betraying her emotions and letting him know how worried she was.

"I am sorry, boss. This is important and requires my attention. I would go and throw them off trail and make them feel like you are there. What better ways to do it than to allow them see me in that city?"

"Arctic, this is risky."

"I sleep with risks every day, Jade. You are well aware of that."

"I know." She cleared her throat before continuing. "It is just, you are all I have left, Arctic. You and Macy. I would not know what to do if anything happens to either of you."
