Imperial Capital.
Late at night.
Jenson and Baby Robbie secretly left the rented house and sneaked back to Mammoth Courtyard.
When they were close to Madam Nephele's backyard, Jenson suddenly grabbed Baby Robbie's hand and solemnly said, "Baby Robbie, there’s something off about Madam Nephele. You have to be careful."
Baby Robbie smiled and placed his hand on Jenson's shoulder. "Jens, how can we catch the tiger cub without entering the tiger's lair? I'll break in to distract her, and you’ll sneak into her room to find out more about her."
Jenson stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Baby Robbie's eyes.
Baby Robbie wondered out loud and said, "Why? What’s wrong with my idea?"
Jenson replied, "It’s a good idea, but our roles should b e reversed. I'll deal with Madam Nephele while you inspect her room. If we’re in danger, you should run."
Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at Jenson. "Do you think o f me as a coward? You're my brother, how can I abandon you?"
Jenson said, "I’m not asking you to abandon me. What I mean is for you to go get help if anything happens. If something happens to us, what will Daddy and Mommy do?"
Baby Robbie's expression turned serious. Jens was the bravest person he knew but he could sense the awe he had for Madam Nephele. It was clear that Madam Nephele was someone difficult to deal with.
"Okay, let's go with your plan."
Jens and Baby Robbie parted ways. Jenson walked straight to the front door while Baby Robbie sneaked into the backyard.
