Julian sat down in the back of his luxury car, adjusting his suit slightly. His facial expression was neutral but the tension in the car was high.
"Boss, are you sure you need to do this?", asked Noah from the drivers seat, turning on the ignition.
Julian made eye contact with Noah through the mirror, "Unless you have a better idea, then yes". His voice was quiet and had a slightly teasing tone.
Noah lowered his head, unable to reply. He's been trying to think of different ways to go about luring Damien out of his hiding place, but nothing came to mind. The last few months had taken a toll on him, making him feel useless for not being able to help Julian more.
Julian saw the sullen expression on Noah's face and smiled.
"Don't be too hard on yourself. It's not like I'm actually going to die", he said.
Noah showed a small self deprecating smile, "But you'll have to spend years if not the rest of your life in hiding!"
