I looked at her curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Jaylan didn't go home after leaving the hospital. Instead, he went to a private residence. We've confirmed that Jerome is there!" Hannah said, looking serious as she spoke to me.
I was startled, bolting upright from my bed. "What? He went to see Jerome?"
Hannah nodded solemnly. "Yes, he went to see Jerome."
I found it hard to believe, muttering, "That's impossible... Why would he go see Jerome? Didn't they have a falling out? Why would he go see him in the middle of the night?"
I looked at Hannah and said, "This doesn't add up."
Hannah agreed, "It certainly doesn't, especially at this hour. It's very telling."
I started to feel worried. "Could their feud have been fake? That would be terrifying!"
The more I thought about it, the more it scared me. If that was the case, it meant they had a sinister plan, and I was undoubtedly their target.
I immediately dialed Logan's number, and he answered it quickly. His deep voice came through, "Hello, darling."
Hearing his voice was immensely reassuring. I wasn't sure when, but Logan had somehow become a pillar of support for me.
I didn't beat around the bush. "Logan, I need to ask you something. Can you still eavesdrop on Jaylan like you did before?"
He quickly responded, "The bug I used was basic, with a low battery life to avoid detection. It's not working anymore. What's up? Why do you want to spy on him?"
I sighed in frustration. "I'm in a bit of a situation." Then I explained how Jaylan had met with me and then immediately went to see Jerome.
He paused for a moment before responding, "If it's necessary, we can plant another bug."
