Mira looked around before turning to Jason with a question.
"Jason... where is Gina?"
Jason grit his teeth internally while he kept his face perfectly calm. He released a small breath before he gave his mother a smile.
"I'll explain everything to you later, I promise. For now, help me look after her till I get back. Cerci, let's talk."
Jason turned and began to walk out of the house without bothering to see if Cerci was actually coming or not. Mira still had a lot of questions, but she could see the seriousness in Jason's gaze and she knew that it was better to just let him finish his conversation first. Cerci reached down and took the cup of coffee that Mira had made for him. He drank all of it at once before he released a calming sigh, smiled at Mira thankfully, and walked out of the house.
