Chapter 290: A new assignment

Randal's question hung heavy in the air, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on them all. "So, the whole thing we saw at Damien's mansion was just a ruse by Rose?" he asked incredulously.

Reggie shook his head slowly, his expression grave. "I can't say for certain," he admitted. "But we have a new assignment."

Gunther leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. "What assignment?" he demanded.

Reggie shook his head again, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Let's just drive back to the safe house," he replied tersely. "You'll be briefed there."

Though it wasn't the answer they hoped for, Gunther and Randal knew better than to press further. Reggie was always deliberate in his actions, and there was surely a reason for his secrecy.
