"I pity him. Now that Kade is here, I wonder what will become of him."

"Sigh, indeed. Such a miserable guy."

"What happened?" Walking, Jessica glanced at the two soldiers indifferently.

"Young Miss! I-It's nothing! We were talking nonsense."

"Yes, yes, whatever happened to Mr Waters has got nothing to do with us."

Jessica froze. What happened to Mason?

The other soldier glared at his friend as if saying, 'Why did you say that!'

"Where's he?"

"We... We don't know. Please, e-excuse us."

The young soldiers lowered their heads. They were friends of Parker who had now become a part of Tyler's plan.

Their sole purpose to be a part was: To unite the poor lovers.

When they were out of Jessica's sight, Parker's friend turned to his partner; whispering, "You think this will work?"

"It happens in the book, though." The other guy shrugged. They could only hope for their mission to be successful.
