Chapter 86 No Better Option

• Jack was beyond ecstatic to know that Brianna's memory was back. What she said just a while ago was a hint. It was a clear message when she said, "I will call you when I need you." They have been using this line many times over these years. He was not sure at first, but when Brianna looked him in the eyes, he understood. She was telling him to get out of this place as soon as possible. She needs him not beside her but afar, being her eyes and ears just the way they used to be. Jack was like a child laughing and smiling from ear to ear as he drove back to his place.
• When he held Brianna by the hand, he actually gave her something that was a tiny earpiece and microphone which Brianna could speak to him. Jack realized why did Brianna had reacted the way she did; she must have been scared to see him together with her in her enemies' place. Brianna needs to know a lot of things, but Jack is well aware that he cannot just burst them all out without giving Brianna time to process everything she is going through. Jack was confident that with Brianna's intelligence, she would easily catch anything strange in her surroundings. And she will also realize that she was not surrounded by enemies but allies. If he spoke without giving her time to think things over, Brianna would doubt that Jack had been fooled or told to say things according to their commands. That might give Brianna the idea not to open any thought or conversation with Jack. That was why he did not go against Brianna's silent instruction to leave the place. She must be thinking she could move more efficiently if Jack were not among the things she had to consider in case something out of her control happens. She was injured. Herself alone would have already been challenging for her, and she won't get to focus and move as fast as she has in her mind if she has any baggage to mind along the way.
• Jack knew her too well to feel confident doing as she firmly ordered.
