The Passion Of My Enemy
** Jason Call **
"You have to trust me if you want to lure that guy out" Reggie folded his arms around his chest. His eyes looked at the two men who looked at each other when he heard his words just now. No one reacted.
"You know I'll help if it's about Nonaku, until when are you guys gonna keep waiting?"
Reggie's whereabouts at Langton's main mansion are well known to Jack's people. So far they have not had any results about the whereabouts of Jack or Jonathan.
Their investigation was deadlocked. There was no movement on their part. Except for once when Regina managed to escape and was caught by those people. But Mike then managed to save and re-capture Regina.
Mike's eyes squinted, staring straight at Derek's eyes.
"Don't try to think about it" he said.
"I didn't say anything Mike." Derek knew the decision had to be Mike himself who made it. One look at Mike who cares so much about Reggie makes Derek understand what has happened to the two people.
Mike won't feed Reggie to the enemy. Jack could do anything to torture the girl when she was caught.
"We can only wait, and don't lose the slightest bit of vigilance." Mike still looked closely at Derek, judging the man's thoughts on Regina's stupid idea.
Derek nodded, "Amy is safe in the Garden Mansion. I have instructed the additional person in charge to guard there. They're ready to leave in a minute,"
"And they're the best people who are competent in their work." Mike said as if to tell himself it was the best he could do.
Derek nodded again, then silence adorned the room. No one spoke as if they were busy with their thoughts.
"You know my plan is workable and it will work. We can't just wait and see Jack execute his plan, lest it's too late. You know best the cruelty that man would have done to Amy."
"You can't harm yourself by being bait, Woman! You're the most sloppy person I've ever met. Instead of helping, you're gonna make your life float." Mike looked towards Regina, the girl's straight black hair in a ponytail tie at the top of the head, a turtleneck shirt and her favorite black pants attached fitting print the feminine body shape of the owner.
"I can do it! And I'm not careless!! I do every job very well!!" Reggie glared at Mike.
"I said no!!" mike's snaps made a red hue rise to Reggie's face. Anger overpowers.
"Until when will you arrange what I can and cannot do!!" Reggie snapped back.
Derek looked at the two people in turn. Looks like Mike hasn't tamed this stray cat completely, Derek's inner.
The sound of the ringing of the mobile phone made Derek stand up leaving the two people who snapped at each other. He read Jason's name on the screen. Jason periodically reports Amy's state at the mansion to her, telling her about things the girl does every day.
"Yes Jason?" Derek listened to Jason's voice across the street. Derek's facial changes that occur later make Mike and Reggie speechless, a bad feeling overshadowed the two seeing the dark aura that enveloped Derek.
"Mike, prepare our people to leave for the Garden mansion now. We're going with that guy."
"What's going on!?" ask Mike and Reggie at the same time.
Derek's stern gaze swept across the two, "Ay's gone" Derek said.

In a thorough search of Derek's men, Jason learns that Amy disappeared when the girl didn't go down for dinner.
when she gets home from the farm, Bess tells her that Amy has already returned to the mansion. Jason thought the girl was in his room until dinner time came and Amy remained invisible, so Jason decided to call the girl himself.
How surprised Jason was to find Amy's room was empty and everyone in the mansion no one knew of her whereabouts.
Bess, who lives in a village not far from the plantation, is the last person known to have spoken to Amy. With a trembling body and a pale face Bess faced Derek who was back and forth stepping in the living room of his small house.
"He just waved at me and yelled for me to tell Jason that he wanted to go home first, sir." Bess hugged a frightened looking boy to see the big men coming to their house.
"Have you guys talked a lot before!?" Derek observed Bess' pale face, seeing a nod from the woman's head.
"What are you talking about?"
"Miss asks about the plantation, where are the crops taken, who are the people who work there, where they live ...." Bess frowned, recalling her entire conversation with the beautiful lady her master was looking for.
"She also asked me how to get to this small village .. I always came to work through the forest, through a shortcut to the plantation. Several times Miss has asked about where the small path that leads into the forest."
Derek stood stiffly hearing Bess' explanation.
"Did he ever come here!?"
Bess quickly shook her head, "no, sir."
Derek frowned at the thought of the conjecture that came to his mind. His men did not see any movement around the mansion that indicated kidnapping. Is it possible that the girl ran away ....
Mike interrupts the interrogation, "you'd better come with me and see something our people found, Derek!"
