Chapter 121: Checking Contacts
Kim wasn't sure what was going on. All she really knew was that Elin rushed up to her and started babbling about how someone had done something to Elmo and Jonas wanted her to accompany him. While she really like Elin and found her innocence endearing, sometimes details were very nice to have.
Fortunately, when she found Jonas by the entrance to the inn, he was more than willing to explain what exactly happened and what he needed her for.
"Right now I have to assume that my contacts weren't involved with this, but because I can't say for sure, I thought it would be helpful to have someone to help fight if things go south," Jonas finished.
Kim merely nodded. She completely understood what he meant. If someone had picked on Elin like that, she'd like to have someone to back her up as she went to find whoever was responsible for what was done.
"Will it just be you and me?" Kim asked, mostly curious to know if she should expect others.
"Elmo and Elin will be accompanying us," Jonas answered. "If they had wanted to, I would have been fine with them staying here, as long as they promised to not go out. Though, I would ask Heather and Sonya to keep an eye on them just ins case."
Kim nodded. "Well, should we get going then?"
"Alright, follow me, then," Jonas said, as he led the group towards where he'd met with his contact before, a building that Kim recognized easily enough.
It didn't take long before they reached it, although Kim did wonder about the pace Jonas was setting. While he appeared calm and collected on the surface, he was walking much faster than he usually did, which made Kim wonder just how upset he actually was. It certainly didn't seem like a good idea to ask him directly.
As they reached the building, the man standing guard outside the building, looked a little surprised to see Jonas. Although, Kim partly wondered if he was more surprised to see Elmo and Elin with them. After all, Jonas had been here before, so Kim would have expected that the sight of him shouldn't be that surprising.
Yet, if that turned out to be the cause of his surprise, Kim had a bad feeling that things wouldn't go as well as they'd like. Especially with how there had seemed to have been a large number of people in the building previously, and she didn't like the odds in that sort of event. Especially with Elin being there.
