Chapter 44
At Aiden’s shout, murmurs from behind the barrier reached their ears. Most were questions like ‘Who is Nathan Cooper?’
However, a certain woman reacted to that name.
“Nathan?”
A Mexican woman in her 30s with dark brown hair peered over the barrier. She cast a suspicious glance at Aiden.
“How do you know that name?”
“I met him in person. I have a message from him.”
The woman stared at Aiden for a moment, then disappeared behind the barrier. She reappeared after a short while.
The side gate beneath the barrier opened, and the woman approached Aiden. The gun barrels atop the barrier were still aimed at Aiden.
She stood in front of Aiden, seemingly confident that the guns were secure enough that she didn’t need to aim hers.
“What exactly did Nathan say?”
Aiden conveyed the events of meeting Nathan, the situation he faced, and the requests.
The woman listened silently. After Aiden finished explaining, she scrutinized him with a peculiar gaze.
