Terry Meets 'Alaric Rhionen'

At the penthouse, which also served as a command center for observation, Lauriel and Jean could only look at each other as they followed the conversation between Terry and the two assassins on their monitor. They did not expect the assassins to be so kind to Terry.

Endo and Marion, who had been shadowing Terry with a few of Max's undercover men, did not need to intervene at all. Terry was fine.

"You see, right? Your son is safe," Lauriel said, turning to Jean. Jean had insisted to be involved after learning that his son would be used in the mission.

"Yes, I believe in you," Jean answered. He tapped his fingers on the table, thinking, "What do you think they want from Terry?"

"Confirmation," Lauriel answered. "They've asked me, Aleksis' godfather, about Aleksis' whereabouts. Now they want her sibling to confirm that Aleksis had indeed been kidnapped. I'm sure they won't bother Terry. As far as I can tell, these people really care about Aleksis."
