Chapter 189: Endless Curiousity
Mira looked around before turning to Jason with a question.
"Jason... where is Gina?"
Jason grit his teeth internally while he kept his face perfectly calm. He released a small breath before he gave his mother a smile.
"I’ll explain everything to you later, I promise. For now, help me look after her till I get back. Cerci, let’s talk."
Jason turned and began to walk out of the house without bothering to see if Cerci was actually coming or not. Mira still had a lot of questions, but she could see the seriousness in Jason’s gaze and she knew that it was better to just let him finish his conversation first. Cerci reached down and took the cup of coffee that Mira had made for him. He drank all of it at once before he released a calming sigh, smiled at Mira thankfully, and walked out of the house.

Jason and Cerci stood outside Mira’s apartment. The moon had risen high in the sky and its light cast a silver hue across the street, but both men seemed to have silently agreed that they preferred staying away from the light, so they were standing in the shadow of the building where no one could see them. Jason had his hands in the pocket of his coat and he watched as Cerci brought out a cigar and lit it. Cerci took a puff and blew it to the side before he spoke.
"Just out of plain curiosity, is your girlfriend still alive?"
Jason gave Cerci a hard glare.
