Back home

3rd person's POV)

"Sir, the butler is ready. All that is needed is your command."

Alister lightly nodded to the determined-looking guard, who was extremely overjoyed that he got to converse in what was barely a conversation with the Alister Mancini.

It was certainly a story he was taking home to his kids.

Alister, however, could not share this reaction. He had been angrier than usual from the fight he had with Kamala and it showed.

He wasn't angry with her. Of course not.

He was angry with himself because he knew deep down that she was right.

But he couldn't give up. He couldn't give up on her.

He had made a plan that the second he would return back home, he would make things right.

He had to. For her.

For Kamala.

All that was left now was to blow up the building.

"Do it."

As soon as those words left his mouth, there was no going back.
