A week before heading to Spirit Spring Town.
I took my subordinates out to broaden their horizons.
We got a private room at the largest entertainment club downtown.
The young guys were hesitant to come in at first.
I even teased them a bit about it.
"Why so timid? It's not like we're doing anything shady, just having some drinks."
Once they realized I wasn't tricking them, they relaxed and started drinking freely.
"Captain, honestly I never thought you'd bring us to a place like this. If your wife finds out, won't you be in big trouble?"
Not many people knew about my marriage to Seraphina.
But I didn't hide anything from my subordinates.
Anyone could see Seraphina's photo on my desk.
"I gotta say, your wife is really beautiful. I saw her picture on your desk before, but how come it's gone lately?"
I held my glass without answering, just twitching the corner of my mouth.
