The Unpleasant Meeting

While this was happening downtown, Jack Boudreau was being driven by Guo to the EG headquarters halfway across town. He was wearing formal attire, and his face showed no emotion, as per usual.

From the front, Guo looked in the mirror at his boss.

"Sir. Should I go in with you? Or do you want to go alone?"

Jack looked back into the mirror.

"I'll be fine on my own. I doubt Constantine Levesque will do anything rash, even if she has the power to do so. And even if she does, I trust you can be in that room in a breath's time."

His assistant smiled at him, his eyes almost closing shut from the action.

"Of course, Mr. Boudreau. There isn't much anyone can do about me going where I want in this world. Well, at least for now."

Jack looked at Guo in the mirror, thinking about how they had met. Guo used to be a special agent in China, where he served in a division of the government that dealt with abnormal phenomena.
