I quickly typed some codes in the computer and then I pushed myself away to a different table. After a few seconds of typing, I moved on to the next set of computer.

"You're not getting a headache on this routine?" Summer asks when I moved on to the next.

"Nope." Continuously typing.

"Winter has been gone for a week and even Autumn had the guts to do the same." She groans.

"We must stand by in case Autumn needs us. The tracker she had is still visible." I checked.

"Gion went there. He said there was nothing but it's either they're underground or floating in the sky."

"I just hope they come back alive. They're doing this without us when we agreed to do this together." Summer mutters.

"Summer, we are doing this together. Without us, who can report back to Parker?"

I was interrupted by the sound of my phone. Frowning, I answered it.

By the time I understood what the caller said, I end the call swiftly and started packing.

"What? What is it?" Summer's concern tone surfacing.

"Mary (my assistant) called. She said a big client wanted to buy a large amount of our goods and I had to attend."

"But what about the others and our house security? You know the barricades in this dorm won't work without the operator."

I gripped her wrist with my eyes wide in all seriousness.

"The big client that I'm talking about is... Retsnom Organization."

Even her eyes are as wide as mine.

"And their young boss called in to say hi." Within that last sentence, I left Summer in my room.

Travil Swift

I pushed a black swimsuit towards her with her eyes twinkling in confusion.

She took it in her hands but her gaze never left me.

"Wear it. I'll meet you by the beach." I turned for the door, feeling her hot glare on me.

I took off my clothes in my room and wore my own swimsuit then grabbed my phone, dialing.

"Yeah?"

"Ready the vehicle in forty."

"Yes, boss."

After that, I tossed my phone away and placed a waterproof wristband on me as a tracking device before leaving the beach house.

John hands me a case on my way to the beach as I wait for Winter to come.

I heard her footsteps on the sand and I stared at her for a few seconds, eyeing her attire. When I looked at her expression, she arched her eyebrow irritatingly. Even though it's pretty dark right now, I can still see her amusing expression.

I grabbed her left hand and placed a wristband on her wrist and handed her some equipment to help with the swim.

"Where are we going?" She asks, putting on her goggles.

"You'll see." Walking to the water, I dived when I saw the chance.

I swam through the reef and watched a few fishes swimming over the colorful corals. Winter caught up beside me, her eyes scanning the scenery. I fastened my pace but I didn't see the big stingray coming towards me. I felt a hand on my wrist before I got pulled away from it.
