Some Secrets Unravel

"Wow. I guess I'm worth that much trouble." Akeelah comments sarcastically and has a seat opposite Aaron and beside Gray.

"You're not worried? Or scared that you'll be murdered?" Aaron asks, incredulous

"There has been so many attempts to kill me already. Why should this one scare me?"

"Because it's different. That they came to me means that they mean business. Clean, untraceable business."

"Are you bragging about how good you are at your job?" Leo asks, with an eyebrow raised

"I wish I could laugh about this but this only smell of troubles." Aaron continues, visibly worried.

"Come off it. They should come try to get me at the barracks. You know I'm taking self defense classes now?"

"You are?" Leo asks with a smile

"Yes. Buff put me up to it. I don't expect any less from him anyway."

"Alright then. Just be careful about strangers." Aaron finalizes and leans back into the couch.
