Austin left the embassy as confused as when he came. After all, he and Dominic hardly talked about anything. On his way back, Austin kept thinking about what the old man said but could not make sense of it.
'What the hell is Uncle Dom trying to say?' he wondered.
Alexander and Mike were waiting in the house. When they saw Austin, they quickly went over. "So? Why did they invite you?"
Worried for Austin’s safety, Alexander even had several men escort him in another car. When Alexander and Mike received news that Austin was on his way back, they were relieved and puzzled because he came out alone.
"Did they threaten you? What else did they say?" Mike asked anxiously, "Was it Rhea? What was she up to?"
Only she could make such an invitation and not do anything to Austin.
"No." Austin shook his head and looked at Alexander. "I met with Uncle Dom."
"Dominic?" Mike was surprised.
Alexander was just as puzzled because he did not expect Austin to see Dominic so easily.
‘Why would the embassy let Dom see Austin?’
"Yeah." Austin nodded. "Well, if you can even call it a meeting."
