Chapter 40 At the scrimmage

• Jedidiah has spent a lot of time since his grandfather's death pouring through the corporate assets. Untangling the Gordian's knot of shadow dummy corporations. Searching for clues to where he had been taken.
• That was a building that had to be destroyed. The teen realized there were some things and some places that were beyond redemption. Jed also had a secret hope to locate and free as many of the enslaved people as possible. A silly vanity on his part, he was hoping to bring some good out of the evil that befell him.
• Arian followed Mrs. March's sage wisdom and gave his mate space and a few moments to calm down. He followed a good bit behind the younger boy. He had been hoping his mate would be waiting for him in bed.
