Dragon's plans for independence weren't a whim he thought about just recently. Just like when he betrayed the reapers and stabbed Hera in the back, he got it all planned for a long time. Before he attacked Dane and showed his fangs to his partner, Dragon secretly colluded with other powerful forces in the underground. He traded with them, eventually leading to partnerships and alliances to back each other up.
Hearing Joker's answer to her question, Heaven didn't need further details about who suddenly came to Dragon's rescue.
It was truly bad news.
"Shit!" Joker cursed through his gritted teeth, looking back from his seat in panic. "I think someone is here! I'm going to pack up!"
Joker didn't wait for Heaven's response to start packing his things. He only grabbed any valuables, closing his laptop and other things as quickly as possible. Heaven, on the other hand, went quiet as she focused on maneuvering the escort car.
