Back in the Spartan republic, Leo had a helpless expression on his face as he conversed with 2 beautiful ladies who were looking at him with livid expressions on their faces.
One of the ladies, Kate, sat beside him while glaring at him angrily. The other, Emily was communicating with them through a virtual projection.
“So, you are telling us that Clark went for another possibly dangerous mission?” Emily asked, as she tried hard to control her emotions and not lash out at this man.
“Yes, its confidential. I can’t tell you guys more, you…”
“It’s ok, no need for further explanations, I’m fed up of your bullshit”.
“Tell me, why did you not persuade him to reject it? And you call yourself his f*cking best friend”.
“Like I told you already, the circumstances were beyond our control. We both did our best, I’ll like to tell you more, but sorry…, it’s confidential”.
Leo spread his hands widely to emphasize and show how helpless he was, and that he was saying the truth.
