All Of You Would Be Safe

There was something unsettling about how Qing Chen's mother was suddenly out of the house. She did not even come out of the front door. If she had, he would have seen her. And if he had seen her, he wouldn't have let her out of the house.

"Where are you going?" Feng Xuan asked him as he was putting on his coat.

"I think there's something wrong with my mother." 

"You're going to go after her? Should I come with you?"

"I'll come with you," said Wuming. "Let's go after her."

"You sure?" asked Qing Lok. "Well, if you're going, I'm going too."

All the ladies in the room looked at each other. "So are we just to sit here and sip tea?" asked Addison.

Wuming smiled at her. "We need you to keep guard of the house. Okay?"

Addison rolled her eyes. He did have a point though. They didn't all have to leave. "Fine. Just get back here in one piece."

"We always do."

The three men went out of the room.
