"Why does Konstante know?" She said chin up, in a soft tone.

"About that_"

"Does Pietro know?"

She sighed when she noticed that everyone was quiet.

"No, it's just me, you don't have to be a part of this, We can handle it," She said.

Frieda looked sad and she held out her hands, Emma took them.

"Just be careful," She said gently and they hugged, the rest huddled together and she looked at Quinn who was far apart and he shrugged, her brown eyes crinkled in contentment. "You too Douglas"

His expression turned dire when his phone rang.

"Hello?" His eyes dilated at the news, putting his phone back inside his pocket. That was some terrible news from the look on his face.
