Did he handle the situation well? Only time could tell. Was this the only way? After all, the enemy was still unknown. Why was he warning him? Did he offend anyone? Not that he could think of. Carl sat there all alone as time trickled by. His mind was a mess, he couldn't think of anything other than to up their security and wait, hoping the enemy will reveal himself. Should he call back his men? Or should he pretend nothing happened. Will his men continue to trust him if he does nothing? So many questions ran through his mind as he remained sitted until 2 am before driving home.
Both Kim and Ryan were already asleep when he got home. He gently lifted Kim taking her to the bed before returning to the sitting room with two blankets. He moved Ryan to the couch, covered him with a blanket before he laid down on the floor. All he wanted to protect was in that little apartment, he was so worried that they would be taken away from him that sleep refused to visit him until the early hours of the morning.
Kim woke up at exactly 6AM, getting up, she walked into the sitting room to see Carl sleeping on the floor, her tensed shoulders finally relaxed. She slept by past 1, as she was waiting for him to come home. Ryan too was still asleep on the couch. As she watched the brothers, she was reminded about the call last night. From where she stood she could see dark circles under his eyes. Unconsciously, she moved towards him, squatted by his side as she caressed his face. A few minutes later, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
The smell of the food woke Ryan up, he was surprised to find himself on the couch, he totally forgot he was not at home. He observed his surrounding as his eyes adjusted to the light. Stretching, he walked into the kitchen. "Good morning." He said as he yawned, he was still groggy from his nap. Kim giggled as she took in his appearance, from his bed head to the drool by his mouth. "Go wash your face." Her reminder alarmed him, he quickly ran into the bathroom. His eyes widened as he saw his reflection, his ears turned a bright red. Bending, he splashed water on his face and rinsed his mouth before moving back to the sitting room.
A full English breakfast was set on the table, Ryan sat opposite Kim as he moved the tomatoes to the plate reserved for Carl, he was not a fan of tomatoes, the smell and taste was horrible to him. Kim gauged his actions and made a mental note to always remove the tomatoes from his food. Not long after they started munching away, Carl's phone rang again. He was startled by the ring of the phone, he rub his eyes sleepily before picking up the phone, without checking to see the caller, he answered, "Hello..." His tone was low and husky which Kim would have found sexy if not for the fact that she was still worried.
"Go ahead with your plan then. I won't come in today, do what you can." With that he hung up. Kim hurriedly went to him. "Are you okay?" Her eyes and voice gave off the fact that she was worried. Getting up, he simply nodded. As he walked into the room, she followed behind. "What happened last night?" She questioned. He was so groggy he didn't know she followed after him, he was shaken by her voice. "I'm not sure what to tell you..." He said as he went into the bathroom. She followed him into the bathroom, "Tell me what emergency occurred that you left in a hurry and returned late."
"You realize I want to pee and I can't do that if you're watching me." Her face reddened as she coughed, "Sorry," closing the door behind her. Not long after the door opened. "So?" She followed up. "Not much happened, besides it's all in the past, forget about it." She frowned but chose not to ask him again since he wasn't willing to say anything. "I understand." She returned to the living room. Her reply made him uncomfortable but he didn't want to disturb her with his problems.
After eating breakfast, Carl dropped Kim off at Madam George's restaurant then he took Ryan to the hotel. After showering, he laid on the bed, falling asleep immediately. When he woke up it was already afternoon. Ryan was busy playing with his phone. "Sorry, I was tired I totally forgot about you. Let's go out now." Carl said as he stretched, picking up his keys. "No problem," Ryan said simply before heading out of the hotel with his brother.
First, they went for lunch then they began touring the city. Unknown to them that the people watching him had already informed his step-mother that Ryan was currently with him and she was on her way to cause trouble for Carl and disgrace herself all together. At the same time, Chamberlain had finally gotten his report about Carl but was yet to read it.
