"When's he coming back?" The silence between the two people sitting in the gazebopun passed. Mike did not answer, but he knew who Reggie was asking.
"How long has he been back? You locked me in my room because of this gunshot wound for too long, so I didn't know your master was back. She didn't take my non with her?" The question is not answered. Reggie was not desperate, Mike had to put up with his chatter if he still did not want to answer.
"I don't see my non. He's definitely not here. If not, he would have been looking for me."
Reggie looked at Mike who was still silent.
"Where did you take him? Is he safe? "
Mike took a deep breath. Then he looked at Reggie.
"Derek will make sure he's safe. You don't have to worry."
"The guy named Jack is still hunting him, isn't he?" Mike's silence makes Reggie convinced the answer to his question is true.
"When I got caught, I realized those guys were Jack's man. I think they thought they'd be able to figure out where Amy was when they could catch me."
"They've been watching this mansion for a long time and know that Derek locked you in here. I think they think Amy's here too." Mike started to serve Reggie chats.
"My son won't be safe as long as he's free to roam out there ...."
"We're trying to figure out what Jack's plan is and find out where he's hiding."
"I think it's gonna be hard. Unless one of us gets caught and they take him to their base."
Mike was silent, not responding to Reggie's words.
"Or you can plan for me to get caught, and then we can follow where they take me. I'm sure they'll take me to Jack." Reggie's voice sounded excited to bring his idea to Mike. Mike squinted his eyes, staring intently at the girl.
"Don't even think about it, Regina. You bet on your life. Don't you remember the atrocities Jack committed in the Sky family mansion."
"But we can't keep waiting without any plan, Mike. If they don't move so we have trouble finding them, then we can make a plan first, move first fishing****** it's out of hiding."
"That's gonna be my business! You don't have to think about it!" Mike gave an ultimatum, not to be denied. Reggie looked at him with a frown.
"So it's my business too if it's Amy's safety. How long should he be locked up and hidden? You'll drive him crazy if you keep doing it. I've almost gone crazy locked up in this mansion. Can't go anywhere."
"Stop complaining Regina. You know it's for your safety."
Reggie took a deep breath. He knew Mike was right.
"At least think of something. Waiting like this makes me nervous. Amy was not seen in my eyes. Even if you say he's safe, I still can't stop worrying."
"It seems you love him very much. Since when did you work as his bodyguard?"
Reggie chuckled softly at Mike's question.
"I can't remember how long it's been .. For sure, I've been part of the Sky family since I was a little girl. Guess ... Amy could still be called a baby back then. He grew up with me like two brothers. Mr. Arthur and Mother Greta took care of me like their own son." Reggie's eyes shone in the shade, reminiscing about the two people who had protected him and given him as much affection for their biological children.
"Where are your parents?" Mike's question was only greeted by silence. Instantly the shady glow in Reggie's black eyes turned flat. Mike can't read any emotion there.
"My mom's been gone for a long time.I don't know about my dad." Then the girl suddenly stood up, deliberately stopping their chatter, walking slowly so that her legs did not hurt too much.
"I want to go in and rest inside" he said slowly without stopping.
Mike took a deep breath.
Stubborn girl, he swore in his heart. He stood up and lifted Reggie in his arms. Mike frowned when there was no protest. He glanced at Reggie's silent face in his cradle. The girl's eyes glared, Mike let her go and stepped to bring Reggie into the mansion.
Reggie looked at the two men before him in turn. He folded his hands in front of his chest and raised his chin.
"You're gonna have to trust me if you want to lure that guy out." No one reacted to the girl's words.
"You know I'll help when it comes to my non. Until when will you wait."
Mike's eyes met Derek's. They looked at it as if they were communicating without Reggie knowing.
"Don't try to think about it" Mike said slowly. Derek looked at her understandingly.
"I didn't say anything, Mike ...." Derek knows Mike won't approve of Reggie's plan to bait Jack out of hiding. At once upon returning to the mansion, he could judge that there had been a lot of things going on between the two people. Mike unknowingly cares about Reggie. Any decision that concerns Reggie should be Mike deciding it.
"We can only wait, and do not lose the slightest bit of vigilance." Mike was still staring at Derek. Judging the decision that was in the head of his superior. Derek then nodded.
"Amy will be safe in the Garden Mansion. I've instructed additional guard there."
"And they are the best people, very competent at their jobs" Mike said. It was as if he also wanted to convince himself that was the best they could do.
Derek nodded again, then silence adorned the room. It was as if they were busy assessing their plans in each other's minds.
"You know my plan is workable and it's gonna work.We can't just wait for Jack to execute his plan. Don't let it be too late, you know best what kind of cruelty that man can commit to Amy." Reggie again persuades the men to agree to his plan.
"We can't harm you by being bait, Woman. You're the most careless person I've ever met .. Instead of helping, you're gonna make your life float." Mike looked intently at the stubborn girl who again tied her hair into a ponytail at the top of her head.
"I can do it! And I'm not careless! I do every job very well!" Reggie glared at Mike who was glaring back at him.
"I said no!" Mike snapping.
A red hue crept into Reggie's face hearing Mike's scream. Anger overpowers.
"Until when will you arrange what I can and cannot do!" Reggie snapped back.
Derek watched the quarrel before him in silence.
Mike hasn't been able to fully control this stray cat, Derek is amused.
The ringing sound of his phone made Derek distracted. He read the name of Jason, his butler at Mansion Sky, who reported to him every day every activity Amy did in the mansion. Derek answered the call,
"Yes Jason?" Derek listened to Jason's voice from across the street. Derek's facial changes then leave Mike and Reggie speechless, a bad feeling overshadowing the two seeing the dark aura enveloping Derek.
"Mike .. prepare our people to leave for the Garden Mansion. We'll go with those people ...." Derek gave the command after turning off the phone.
"What's wrong? What's going on, Derek?" Mike asked impatiently, Derek looked agitated and worried.
"Amy disappeared ..." whispered Derek slowly.
