Elena’s POVWe arrived at the coffee shop and sat down in a quiet corner. Phila raised an eyebrow. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"I shrugged. "Maybe a little.

Why are you doing this?"I smiled, gesturing for him to sit down. "Let's just say I'm taking matters into my own hands, Mr. Johnson. And you're going to help me."Mr. Johnson sat down, his eyes darting back and forth between Phila and me. "What do you need, Elena?" he asked, his voice cautious.I smiled, leaning forward.
