  Argon couldn’t come up with an answer. Pzeyma smirked. What are you hiding, Argon? What is it that’s making you look so scared? he thought. “She’s my daughter, which also means I own her,” he snarled. “What will you do with her once she’s back?” “I’ll make sure she is never able to leave Zephania without me!” Oh, so that’s what it was, thought Pzeyma. Does he miss her or what? He’s being very strange today. “I’ll send my men to Oman. Why don’t you return for the day?” “Thank you. I must take Jade back with me. Nicholas misses her.” Yeah right. “Take her back later. She’s not home.” Argon clicked his tongue and shook his head in disappointment. “I’ll get going then. See you soon.” Argon got up and left the office, the bitter tea still floating in the china cup. Pzeyma sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Nicholas knew better than anyone to never talk back to his father’s subordinates. So, he stood helplessly, mouth zipped. “The President has seen through your scheme,” he said in a gruff voice *.

  “The rabbit hasn’t been found till now, dad,” reported Nicholas the next morning. Argon lit his cigar and walked over to the big rectangular glass window. “This is a small country. If she’s hiding in those pauper girls’ houses, we can easily find that out. After all, she even went to a pauper school.” “What do you intend to do with her friends?” Nicholas asked cautiously. “Like, if they don’t know or don’t tell you?” “Not knowing and not telling are two different things, son,” said Argon, turning around, facing Nicholas. “I still haven’t found a new chess teacher for you. So, how about go and look for those addresses?” he ordered. Nicholas nodded and left the room. He wished he could disobey his father, but he couldn’t leave his mother all by herself. She was already worried sick about Remedios. His father told him to get Remedios’ friends’ addresses.
