Chapter 413 - This night is indeed going to be so long 2
This night is indeed going to be so long…
Jean whose head is almost in a blasting stage felt like she is crushed with another shock.
First thing, Kiara just met Rick and Iris at her anniversary a week back. They are pure strangers before that.
Though there are chances that they might have become friends, the way she called Rick is totally intimate and concerned. Moreover, how can she be so close to him that she is aware of where his secret mansion is..
But wait! On the first place, what is she doing in country X. Shouldn"t she and Daniel be in country S Now…
Even Kiara is shocked by seeing her best friend here…
"Hi Jean, hi Scott" she tried her level best to mask her nervousness. Being a good actor she did it pretty well.
"Uhmm….I know you both are shocked to see me here." She laughed.
According to them, she is clueless about her past. So she should not talk about Johann here. However her big brother gave her a brief description about her past.
She helped the council in making Jean and her friends join the council….she didn"t have any boyfriends back then….but she is pretty close to Nathan and Scott. During one of the mission Scott and Rick asked her to help Jean…and that mission is somehow connected to Johann…..and he used her as a bait but Jean and others saved her but in turn she lost her memory.
This is what she knew…
"Yeah. We are pretty shocked to see you here" Scott said as he ma.s.saged Jean temples with his fingers.
Curse her migraine, it literally make Jean helpless and frustrated. It makes her pretty weak.
Including this, she is feeling extremely nauseous and sick.
"Well, actually after your anniversary Rick approached me and told us to not hesitate if we wanted any help from council. But Kiara has been suffering with nightmares, sudden visions and something"s like that" Daniel who just came inside after talking with Danielle in mobile said.
"Jean, she didn"t wanted to worry you anymore so we approached Rick for help. In a short span they became good friends and moreover you are currently working on Johann"s mission. I want to take revenge for Kiara too…so I am helping him with minor details" Daniel quickly cooked some excuses.
"Actually that"s good. Having more friends and allies is always for our best." Jean said but her voice is weak and tired.
Scott felt a wave of pain in his heart. She look so tired and pale, he regretted bringing her here..
"OK guys. Let"s talk about this recent events" Scott said as he continued caressing Jeans head. Slowly soothing and ma.s.saging her temples he tried his best to make Jean stress free.
"Mia just called. According to the reports that man was forced into coma just a three days back. As if on cue, my team found a loose end about him just a two days back." Jean said.
Hope is sitting beside Rick, holding hands with their fingers entwined. On the other couch Jean is almost sitting on Scott"s lap, he hugged her with one hand while his other hand is caressing her head.
Daniel and Kiara are sitting on another couch with his arm around her shoulders. They looked like a happy couple chatting with each other but on reality the atmosphere is pretty tensed.
"After you have sent your team to search for him I asked my elite team to keep a eye around your surroundings. So basically I was defenseless" Rick said.
Jean understood this. She was the actual target of Johann because she is the one who has been searching for him and his boss. So no wonder that protecting her is more necessary…
"If Johann wanted to make a move, his target should be me so I doubt that the person who attacked you is not Johann or his men" Jean stated.
"Moreover, it doesn"t look like the attackers wanted to kill Rick. They are just trying to scare me or probably Rick" Hope said.
"Hmm….the main point here is this certain someone don"t want Rick to be happy. If it is really Johann we would have gone for direct attack rather than beating around bushes like this" Scott said.
"By taking all this points into consideration the only outcome we can deduct is….Johann can"t be this attacker. It is someone else" Kiara said.
"Then you are telling that this is a mere coincidence. Jean sending her team to city S and Rick asking his team to look after Jean. Him being defenseless exactly at the time of attack" Scott asked little impatiently.
His wife is getting pale and drenched with sweat. He is sure she is going to face another round of sudden migraine stroke.
"Yes, Scott have a point. The persons who attacked us are the staff people from hotel. I had my team look into all the staff details, the persons who attacked me are indeed sneaked into by someone just a three days back" Rick said.
There is really a connection. Johann"s right hand is forced into coma exactly three days back. It looks like someone planned this both events to happen simultaneously.
"So, you think Johann is the one who tried to scare Hope today. If he want he would have tried to kill you…" Daniel scratched his head.
So tricky….and confusing.
"Rick, do you have any history with Johann. Or Johann might be connected to some of your past enemies" Jean said.
Of course Johann and Rick had a mind blowing history.
Johann was his nanny when his mother use to take him to Braxton"s ancestral home. He was only months old and his uncles are not aware that his mother is the friend of Sophia Valdez, the person they hate most.
They indeed had a bitter sweet relations.h.i.+p…
