In Vince's house:

Thomas arrived at Vince's place, greeted by a chorus of voices – Gally, Frypan, Minho, Jorge, and Aris. Minho opened the door, a hint of impatience in his voice, "Hi Thomas, come in!"

"Hey guys!" Thomas greeted them all.

"Where have you been? We were waiting for you," Gally said, his gaze lingering on Thomas a beat too long.

"I left as soon as Frypan told me about the meeting," Thomas explained.

Just then, Vince and Frypan entered the room. Vince offered a warm, "Hello kids."
A tense silence followed. Thomas, sensing the seriousness, stammered, "Hi Vince, what's going on? Is everything okay?"

Vince's gaze swept over the group before settling on Thomas. "Honestly, I called you all here because I have a mission. There's a situation... an old friend of mine needs help. His people are sick, and it seems only a combined effort can save them." He paused, his eyes locking with Thomas's. "This includes you, Thomas. And as you know, I can't ignore a call from someone who played a part in building this safe haven."

"Who's this friend?" Thomas asked, curiosity piqued.
"

His name is Jacob," Vince revealed. "So, are you in?"

Gally, after a quick glance at Thomas and the others, spoke up, "Guess we're all in."

"One more thing," Vince added, his voice turning serious. "This needs to be kept under wraps. We don't want unnecessary complications."

Frypan, ever the pragmatist, simply responded, "Okay."

"Alright then," Vince said, gesturing towards the door. "You can head out for now. Except you, Thomas. I need a word in private."
The others filed out, leaving Vince and Thomas alone. Vince leaned closer, his voice dropping to a low murmur, "If you make it to The Left Arm safely, remember this: Don't breathe a word about your blood being the cure. Not to anyone except Jacob himself."

Thomas, surprised, furrowed his brow. "Okay, but why? Can't we trust the others?"

Vince met his gaze with a knowing look. "Trust, Thomas, is a rare commodity. For now, Jacob is the only one you can be sure of."

Thomas nodded, the weight of the secret settling on him.

Note : I tried to make this one longer ... hehe ✌🏻😅
