Abigail's tone carried a quiet finality, one that Jerry recognized immediately. She wasn't going to change her mind no matter what he said. Her insistence on handling things herself was both admirable and frustrating admirable because it showed how determined she was to take control of her own life, but frustrating because Jerry knew better than most just how dangerous the people they were dealing with could be.
Jerry studied her face for a moment, his eyes lingering on the stubborn glint in her gaze. "Alright," he said finally, exhaling slowly, "it seems you've already made up your mind. You've decided this is something you have to do alone. I won't stop you." He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowering, more serious now. "But Abigail, promise me something stay alert. The moment you notice anything strange, anything out of place… call me. Don't wait, don't hesitate, just call me immediately."
