"The entire compound and machine we have at the location have been destroyed. I was expecting to hear a little bit of good news from Master, but you showed up in her place," Jade explained, pushing the door open and walking out, letting it close behind them.
Kieran, shocked, stated, "Oh, I had no idea. I assumed everything was taken care of. Well, I do hope she's fine. Would you like me to carry you where you need to go?"
Jade shrugged. "No need. It's not too far from here. Plus, the last thing I want is the military seeing you flying through the sky or doing something crazy."
Moments later, Jade's phone rang. She answered, "Yes, sir?"
"How are you holding up?" the voice asked.
