Greg spent the rest of the morning with Jessica, the recent battle he had against the old man from the mage family lingering at the back of his mind. Until he found better information about those hidden families, there was nothing he could do.
However, another problem had been bugging him: did they have to continue hiding?
Kate's kidnapping had been a wake-up call, reminding him that while he might be relatively safe, the circle he had made and grown fond of — aside from his sister — was not.
Greg took Jessica home late in the afternoon, already coming up with ways to deal with the hidden families.
"Wow, you guys are back. I was beginning to wonder why the air was getting polluted — guess it was the lovebirds," Aaron said, his eyes containing nothing but jealousy.
"Can't blame you. You were once a thief, probably never had love," Will teased.
"Shut up, rich boy. Don't add more salt to my wound," Aaron rolled his eyes.
Greg ignored the playful banter between the funny duo.
