Ian finally made the call to Drax. He knew that his friend would not be thrilled to hear about Mills' condition, and out of fear the man might do something rash, he had opted to wait. Because he was already on a mission, Drax could only be reached by covert satellite phone. When the line connected, there was a loud buzzing noise in the background.
"Busy?" Ian asked.
"A bit," Drax admitted.
"Call me back when you're free. It's important."
"How important?" Drax asked. Ian said a single name.
"Mills." Drax did not reply, he ended the call and Ian worried that he may have made the wrong decision by calling. Apparently, Zane was also worried.
"How much does he care about that girl?" Zane asked. Ian wanted to mention his feelings for Mina, but in truth, he did not know how much he cared about her and he did not want to lie to his friend again.
"A lot," Ian said.
