Adam walked with the man through the quiet streets. The man was in front leading the way. Adam watched his back. The man was too relaxed.
His shoulders were loose his steps were casual. It was the walk of someone who had no fear. It was like he knew Adam was completely under his control.
Adam's mind raced. Why was this man so confident? Yes they had Sophia. They had found his one weakness. But how could they be so sure it would work? How did they know about Sophia in the first place? The thought was a cold knot in his stomach.
He had been so careful to keep her separate from his dangerous new life. But somehow they had found her. They had breached his defenses in a way he had never anticipated.
The man led him away from his neighborhood. They walked for a few blocks until they reached a deserted industrial area.
