One of the sneaky men scoffed, "That stupid Officer Charm stopped us from getting rich. If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how powerful we are."
The other men instructed, "That's the woman, keep an eye on her!"
"Yes, Boss, don't worry."
Alice was in Jensen's arms and he gave her a squeeze. He said, "I still have half an hour before I need to get back to work. Are you going to campus or Hart Villa District?"
"I'll go shopping," Alice replied, "I have no classes in the afternoon, so I'm going to get some things."
"I can't accompany you," Jensen asked apologetically, "Alice, will you be able to go shopping on your own?"
"I didn't count on you coming to keep me company." Alice shot him a glance and continued, "You should attend to your own matters. Don't worry about me, I'll head off now."
"I'll send you to the mall." Jensen checked his watch and added, "I still have time to walk you there and come back."
"Well, okay." Alice did not refuse.
