The two burly men at the door were part of Tori’s crew.
Lately, the Harrison family’s security detail was slowly but surely becoming loyal to Josefina.
...
The two arrived at Percy's office, and coincidentally, Percy was there too. Upon hearing about the recent incident, Percy was a mix of shock and concern.
Josefina gave a reassuring smile. “I’m fine.”
Still worried, Percy whipped out his phone to send a message, instructing someone to check if any enemies were lurking among the hospital admissions.
“Tori, when you found Luke, what exactly went down? Did you spot anyone suspicious?”
Tori recounted the events in detail. “I set off towards the destination that night, and when I arrived at the village, the medic had already been killed. A mercenary was in a knife fight with Luke, leaving him with injuries I couldn’t quite make out. I jumped into the fray, and only then did the attacker slip away.”
So now it was unclear whether Luke had gotten any information out of the medic before the attack. The trail they were following seemed to be at risk of going cold.
Percy tried to offer some comfort. “Josie, let’s wait until Luke wakes up and see what he has to say. He’s a sharp one. He must have dug out something useful.”
Josefina frowned deeply. “Could it be that my cover’s been blown? They're moving too fast. I'm performing surgery on Luke, and simultaneously, someone’s arranging their hospital stay.”
“I’ve got people checking everyone entering and exiting the hospital,” Percy assured her.
Seeing Josefina downcast made Tori feel uneasy as well.
He tried to lift her spirits. “Ms. Josefina, Luke will be up and about in no time.”
Luke was under Josefina's care, so there should be no doubt about his recovery.
Josefina composed herself, deciding not to discuss the matter any further as she needed to return to the company. “Tori, keep an eye on Luke at the hospital for me. I’m worried someone might take a shot at him. And you're hurt too, so take the opportunity to get some rest alongside Luke.”
