Sent Back Home

After calming down, the discussion turned to an information trade. Alex wasn't quite fond of spreading a secret that David had entrusted him to strangers, but he needed to.

Mr. Boudreau had the information he wanted, and he had information to trade it with. It was more of a transaction than just telling him, so it eased his conscience a bit.

After trading information, the two men finished eating and went their separate ways. Jack still had many duties to attend to, and Alex had tests to take part in.

Mr. Boudreau promised to release him after they knew the extent of his powers. He couldn't hold him there if he wanted, anyway.

He was quite aware of Alexander's destructive power, and he didn't want to lose him just to satisfy his curiosity.

The test took almost all day, and when he was released, they handed him his personal effects back. As soon as he turned his phone on, notifications started flowing in like a broken dam.
