"You will keep Char safe. You will not let them to catch her. You will pay her safety even with your own life. If you can promise me we will go. Can you promise us that? Gray asked trying to bring up a deal.

"You so not seem to understand the situation. Char is the one in need of a safe house, not me. So the game isn't in your hands. But this isn't a good time to draw a fight. I have enough enemies to have me hunted down, and starved to death. I would like to make some real friends so I will agree to keep Char safe. I am not going to harm her. I have better business to manage. So you can go in peace." Zephyr clarified. Finally Char's friends decided to let her stay there. Even if the smile that played on his pink lips told them something else, they had no other option than to trust Zephyr. Like he said it was there need.

"Contact us if anything comes up." Force nodded to Char before exiting the head quarters.

"Yes." Char nodded back. She waved at them while they disappeared through the tunnel. She was so worried about her friends that she overlooked the fact that she was afraid to be in the same room as Zephyr.

 Devious. That was the word that came to Char's mind when she saw the man staring at her intently.

"What?" Zephyr asked her making her realize that she had been glaring at him. She blushed and turned her face away from him.

"Gray reported that he is back in his room, safe." The android informed.

Char looked around the room. It was faintly lit but she could see things clearly. The room had two large contemporary super computers with extra memory storage. There was a platform, a large sized hologram projector, few chairs and no clever cot. She noted that. She had slept on the ground different times. So it does not matter anymore. She sat on a chair and watched Zephyr connect his android to a tablet. The screen came to life. Virtual form of a beautiful young woman appeared. She had rosy cheeks, large eyes, straight nose and strawberry blond long hair. Char felt sad when she saw the lady. But why? And who is she? Char wondered.
