Chris halted in his tracks the instant Amos made that statement.
"That is not true. Miss Joanna is on campus and I am keeping an eye on…,"
"What do you mean she is on campus?" Amos asked. He walked away from where he stood when he noticed how intently the men in black outfits stared at him.
"The guy last night dropped over at the apartment earlier…,"
"What!" Amos shouted. He tried to compose himself when he realised that he overreacted.
"Sir, don't worry because he didn't come over alone but with a friend. They were in the house for hours before they left for campus…,"
"How could I not be worried when she is with a pair of strangers alone?" Amos cut in sharply.
"From what I can see they don't look like strangers. They are talking and laugh like they have known each other for a long time. Miss Joanna seems to enjoy their company…,"
"And that's what I am worried about?" Amos said cool-headedly. "I am worried the annoying guy might have another agenda".
"It's my duty to share in your worries. I will watch over and protect her. I will make sure as long as I am here that no harm will come to her," Chris gave Amos his words.
Amos disconnected the call without uttering a word.
He leaned against the white wall and stared into space. He was still standing this way when someone came out of the vast room and stood beside him.
The guy in a brown shirt stared at Amos in silence.
"If you are that worried about her why don't you go be with her?" Kyle suggested.
"It's not like I haven't told you that the guys and I can handle things over here. You are the one who insisted on overseeing…,"
"That is because I want to bring whosoever is responsible for the killings to justice," Amos said. He tilted his head and looked at the guy standing beside him.
"Rumours circulating say that the royal family is responsible for the killings in the Kingdom. I am sure the media also believes this but they dare not publish their speculations because of their fears…,"
"We both know that the royal family have nothing to do with the killings of werewolves and humans happening…,"
"And who would believe that bullshit without us providing them with the mastermind?" Amos' voice got colder at the end of his sentence.
He walked two steps away from where he stood. "Let's not mention the internal strife the killings will cause and talk about the external ones," He said.
He stood at the opposite side of the passage with his back leaning against the wall.
"I am sure the human world will send their representative to us immediately when they get news of the killings. Same with Golden Core Pack…," Amos trailed with his fists clenched.
Because of the incidents going on he hasn't been able to have a peaceful night's sleep.
If he doesn't put an end to the problems not only might a war break out but his position as King will get threatened too.
"They have always been looking for ways to cause trouble I am sure they will see this as a perfect opportunity to gang up on us…,"
"And who knows, maybe this is exactly what the one responsible for this incident wants," Kyle chimed in.
"As long as I am alive I won't let them get what they want," Amos retorted with his fists clenched.
"We are here to make that possible also so you can leave now. We will handle things here. I will call you the instant anything comes up…,"
"But…,"
"We have got this so you can leave with ease," Kyle tapped Amos on the shoulder. He gave him a reassuring smile.
"As much as we want to get over this soon I also want to be able to proudly call her my sister-in-law…,"
"Do you have a death wish?" Amos playfully beat his hand away.
"Let's talk about who is dying or not after you have managed to give me my long-awaited sister-in-law," Kyle said smiling.
"Also, I know that you love hearing this so stop pretending".
"You want a sister-in-law right?" Amos asked.
"Definitely," Kyle blurted.
"Don't worry I will not only give you a sister-in-law but also a little prince…,"
"Whoa…," Kyle shouted while covering his mouth.
"Aren't you afraid you are gonna scare her away…,"
"Your sister-in-law is not weak. She is equal to the task," Amos said beaming.
[Look at how happy he is. I guess only the power of love can make someone like him smile so radiantly]
Seeing Amos radiating a smile made Kyle smile along with him.
Amos was about to leave when Kyle's cell phone rang.
"Tom," Kyle exclaimed with a mixture of shock and excitement. Amos, who had started walking away, stopped in his tracks. He walked back to where Kyle stood.
"You are calling me after a long time. Should I be worried, Dude?" Kyle asked beaming.
"You are the one who asked me not to call you too often. Wasn't that because you were scared I was gonna ruin your enjoyment with your women so why are you complaining?" Tom challenged him.
He raised his long legs and placed them on the glass centre table.
"I did say that but I never said you should cut off all contact with me," Kyle replied.
"We will talk about that later but right now I have something important to report," Tom said in a bit more serious tone.
Kyle's smile faded upon hearing that he wanted to talk business.
"Are you in a place where you can talk comfortably?" Kyle asked curiously.
"I am surrounded by our men so you don't have to worry about anything," Kyle gave him the go-ahead as he looked at Amos.
"Yesterday we got an Intel that the humans sent some of their spies to the Kingdom not long ago…,"
"That's not a new thing…,"
"This time it's different. They didn't send amateurs. The information we got says that these particular spies were trained by them for so many years. They are not to be underestimated," Tom said seriously.
Kyle looked at Amos to see whether he had something to say. He focused back on his conversation when Amos signalled him to talk freely.
