Chapter 452 - At last, Rick confessed everything about council to Scott

Meanwhile in the upstairs when everyone are knocked out with exhaustion and are in deep sleep, Rick and Iris are busy in finding the trails of the enemies. 

They have already tightened security around the whole city as soon as they found about the attack. So they are having high hopes that they can find the enemies. 

Too bad that they couldn't take any extreme measures. As Elder Braxton is in the city there are high chances that he can misunderstand this..

What if he think that Richards ordered council to tighten security just because they are afraid that he is here to do something bad. If he feels humiliated he might even start disturbing council again. 

With Elder Braxton here they have same disadvantages just like Johann have. It seems like he planned this from long back…

"Brother, Jasper is calling. This is the thirty third time...he seems pretty worried" Iris worriedly said. 

"No Iris bringing him is not good. Seeing Jean like this will only make him worry more. You do know what doctor have said right….his migraine is getting worse and he should not be tensed more" Rick whispered. 

Hope is fast asleep on the bed and he and Iris are sitting on the couch. 

"Even big brother is not here. Danielle doesn't know about this….Rick I am worried. This Johann how did he plan it like this" Iris sighed. 

They are about to continue talking when Scott messaged them that they needed to talk. He asked them to come to the roof top. 

"He is pretty pissed on Jean's normal team and backup team right?" Iris asked as they started walking towards elevator. 

"No one expected Johann to make this powerful move that too in the heart of country X. He surely became bold" Rick hissed with anger. 

Though he don't have feelings anymore for Jean, still she is someone very important to him. Of course he is in pain too. 

....

"My main teams are withdrawn from Keller's. They will monitor Jean from now on" Scott calmly said as he sipped his coffee. 

"We will ask other team to work on it. I knew I didn't keep my promise" Rick apologized. He knew that this sorry will not change anything. 

"Did you find anything related to the attack or is it dead end just like the attack on you and Hope" Scott asked in half mocking manner. 

Rick sighed. He understood how Scott is feeling now…..moreover it isn't just Jean but also the baby. Scott believed him once and he knew he will not continue believing him anymore. 

"Just four hours back before the accident, the outer ring road got struck with traffic jam. It is because the roads which connected to sector 49 got blocked." Rick started telling what happened. 

"So when Jean completed her meeting she actually didn't take outer ring road but at the same time Kiara called her to pick up and from her studio they just touched the outer ring road before taking a right turn from there" Rick continued but Scott interrupted. 

"After she completed her meeting she actually called me and told that Edward suggested her not to take outer ring road because of traffic. Do you think it is connected somehow" Scott asked.

"Actually it doesn't seems like these both are connected. The enemies have been hiding at every possible road connected to sector 49. So either way this might have happened" Rick explained. 

"So, it is just a normal piece of advice then." Scott mumbled. 

"Yes, actually according to the sources Edward is staying in one of the resort connected sector 49 and he got struck in traffic jam otherwise meeting would have been completed sooner" Rick showed him the video. 

"Hmm…..did we find that assassinators" Scott asked indifferently.

"No we are still searching for them" Rick sighed. 

Even Scott sighed. This Johann he is really mysterious…

Who knows what will be his next plan…

They don't even know who is backing him up….

"I am taking away my wife back to country A, Rick. She will be safe there and she needs the best care now" Scott sighed. 

"I agree. As she is the main target of Johann we have to be very careful and let's increase the security" Rick agreed. 

"It won't be a problem because Jean will no longer be allowed to go out of the house till she recover to the fullest and give birth" Scott said seriously. 

He actually don't even want to let her out of the bed but he knew his baby will be very bored if he do so. So he decided to be generous and extend her freedom to 'inside' of the house. 

"A house arrest then" Rick said raising both his eyebrows. 

"More like that" Scott shrugged it off. 

For him nothing is more important than his wife's safety. He knew she will not like this but he couldn't think of any other options. 

"Enrick, can you explain yourself why you have been hiding this truth about Valdez's from Jean. I figured it out that you know about this from long back. Even Jeff and Iris" Scott asked all in sudden. 

From the time Jeff declared that Jean is her twin sister he have been wondering about why Rick have never to hide this. 

He is not a fool. He knew Rick has been protecting Jean from shadows(Rick he himself have said it) then how can he not know about Jeans origin. 

Whereas Rick is stunned by that question. He never expected Scott would ask this question before he himself try to figure it out. 

"Scott, I already told you on your anniversary day that I have something to serious to talk. But you are the one who denied it by saying that you don't like to keep any secrets from Jean and that you wanted to listen from her, remember." Rick asked.

Scott of course remember it. But he never thought that this would be the thing Rick wanted to talk. Seriously! Who would even think that some miracle like this will happen.

"Anyway, I still hope the things I tell you will remains as secret until Jean give birth. It will probably stress her if she find out about it now. But after what happened this day I think it is better to tell you about everything and how deep this danger might be if Johann finds out Jean is a Valdez" Rick seriously said and Scott instantly stiffened. 

More Danger!! DAMN him.
