Zev Is Trying to Come Back

Kelly's expression darkened, realizing the extent of Patrick's menacing influence.

"Feeling scared now? Regretting stirring up trouble with Zev? His kind of background only brings trouble. Cecil pointed at himself. "Look at me; I'm just an orphan, with no complex family ties to worry about. No in-laws to deal with, no family drama..."

Kelly gave Cecil a helpless look. "Weren't you in the army for a bit before you played terrorist?"

Cecil's rogue nature seemed to be taking over.

He joked that if this undercover gig lasted much longer, he might just end up leading the terrorists.

In Solmaris, it had been just him, Lucas, and Zev. After Lucas died and Zev was outed, Cecil nearly became their leader.

Realizing he might be enjoying the rogue life a bit too much, Cecil straightened up. "So, you still want to make that call to Zev?"

"Yes, Mr. Bowen, I'd appreciate making that call," Kelly spoke with measured politeness, her eyes pleading

Cecil was her only hope now.

He smirked. "Funny. I'm actually quite hungry."

Kelly took a deep breath, her patience thinning. "What would you like to eat? I'II get it for you."

chuckled.

"That won't work either. Ordering a bunch of takeout here will raise suspicions," Cecil replied with a wry smile.

Kelly realized Cecil was intentionally being difficult.

"So what exactly do you want?" Kelly asked, suppressing her frustration.

She needed Cecil's cooperation, so she had little choice but to comply.

"Some groceries were bought a few days ago; you could cook something for me," Cecil suggested, eyeing Kelly.
