Ryan stared at his task panel, feeling troubled. Sometimes, knowing too much made things harder than staying in the dark.
Take now, for example. He knew Bella had murderous intent toward Alice and was about to make her move, but without knowing exactly how or when, it only made him more anxious.
After getting home, Ryan didn't relax. He might've looked like he was watching TV on the couch, but his eyes never left Bella for a second.
He wasn't sure what had happened during the day, but Alice seemed fine, so Bella probably hadn't made any overt moves yet.
The mission had a three-day window, but Bella's behavior was becoming more and more erratic. Whether it was the intense, unhidden gaze she gave Alice when standing behind her, or the bold move she made while Alice was asleep on the way home, it was clear Bella was losing her patience.
