"I'l come up with something." I say to Ivan as we step outside. Probably to convince myself.
"I know you will, babe." He opens the passenger door and helps me in before going to the driver's side.
I have given everythingI have to keep this crew in power. I have spent days and nights scheming to keep NSC weak enough so that they would never try to take over. So where the fuck did Emma get the courage to fight against me?
My phone rings as we drive through the dilapidated streets of North Shore. An unknown number.
I've had an unknown number try to call me every few days for months, but I haven't picked up. Unknown never means anything good, and they haven't left a message. But maybe I should get it over with.
Just as I'm about to pick up, Ivan snatches it.
"Ivan," I groan, "I know you're trying to be helpful right now. But this is my job. I need to handle this situation."
