Suzy packed up and boarded the plane to Xandria with Dylan and Timothy.
Allen wanted to come too, but she wouldn’t allow it.
Right up until they were about to board, he was still pleading. "Boss, just let me go with you!"
This trip was unpredictable—there was no telling if they would make it back safely.
Allen was genuinely worried.
"You need to stay and take care of Riley. We won’t be gone long," Suzy said firmly.
Riley was already over five months pregnant—this was when she needed someone by her side the most.
No matter what, Suzy wasn’t about to let Allen leave her behind.
But Allen still couldn’t let it go. "At least let me see you off and come back after."
He barely ever been apart from Suzy on missions, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Suzy understood how he felt, and she was grateful.
"Allen, trust me. I won’t let anything happen to myself. Just stay put and take care of Riley.
“Who knows? By the time I get back, she might be close to giving birth. And when that happens, I’m bringing my godson a big gift!"
Allen opened his mouth, about to argue again, but Suzy shut him down before he could get a word out.
"Enough. No more talking!"
Allen exhaled sharply, finally giving in. "Fine. But call me the moment you land."
"I will."
After making sure Suzy was set, Allen turned to Desmond.
"Des, you better take care of my boss and yours. Especially mine. If anything happens to her, you’re answering to me."
Desmond knew exactly how he felt.
If their roles were reversed, and Dylan was the one leaving without him, he wouldn’t be able to sit still either.
