Zayn gathers Candy and me, his expression resolute as he gives us clear instructions.
"Zack is going to take you both back home. You'll stay there and go to work as usual until all of this is over. We're about to raid Jack's hiding spot, and I need to know you're safe."
Candy and I exchange glances, understanding the gravity of the situation.
"Are you sure that's necessary?"
Candy asks, concern lacing her voice.
Zayn nods firmly.
"Yes, it is. Jack is dangerous, and we can't take any risks. The team and I will handle the raid, but we need to know you're out of harm's way."
I place a reassuring hand on his arm.
"We'll do as you say. Just promise me you'll be careful."
His eyes soften slightly, and he gives a small nod.
"I will. We'll all get through this. Just stay safe and follow Zack's lead."
