Bonnie shook her head. "I want to go out and take a stroll on the plateau. Immerse myself in the local culture, you know? I'll go with you tomorrow instead." "Sure thing. Go ahead and walk around. We'll take a stroll in the night market when I'm done with the inspection." 'I want to stay with her, but I'm here on a work trip. I can't afford to delay everyone's time. So, I'll have to finish my work before anything else.' "That works for me," she said. Noticing that he was looking strong and fit again, she asked, "How are you feeling today? Are you recovering well?" "I'm much better now." His lips curled into a smile as he glanced at her affectionately. "This is all thanks to you, Bonnie. How else would I have recovered so soon?" "Alright. That's enough. Stop being a smart mouth and go. You're keeping everyone waiting." She was speechless at his response.
"Okay." He chuckled and patted the back of her hand. "Wait for me. I'll be back soon." "Yeah. I know that. Just hurry up and go." She waved her hand impatiently, eager to shake him off. He was so clingy.

Once that was done, she took a stroll in Everpeak's streets with Jim. They found themselves at a bustling market, and she managed to buy sadorable trinkets.
Jim did his job by standing next to her and keeping her safe, ever aware of the crowd milling about in the area. She turned around and saw how vigilant he was. Feeling helpless, she said, "This is Everpeak. Nobody knows us. Relax, Jim." "No way. I have to be on guard." He said. Then, he thought back to the gut feeling he had back at the hotel entrance and looked at her before telling her about it.
"I had this feeling that someone was watching us when we first arrived yesterday. However, I didn't alert them to my suspicion. I waited until we were upstairs before poking out the window and checking foD suspicious targets.
"What struckas strange is that nothing was wrong. I thought I was being oversensitive, then. However, I'm getting the sgut feeling again. It pays to be on our toes." "Your gut feelings have always been right. I think someone's targeting us." Rubbing her chin, she said, "We don't really have the lay of the land around here. Let's try heading to crowded areas. That should prevent them from doing anything to us." "Got it." He responded, his sharp eyes sweeping across their surroundings.
"Don't get too worked up." She lowered her voice and reminded him, "We should just carry on with what we're doing and pretend that we never know about them. I believe they't show up sooner rather than later. I'm going to observe them and find out what they're up to." "Copy that." Jim nodded.

Hiding out in an alley, Shane watched as Bonnie walked side by side with the tall, burly man. He couldn't explain it, but something felt uncanny at that moment.
'If that man is just an ordinary guy, there's no way Bonnie would bring him with her all the time. However, I "Ther all the haye and way of knowing how no formidable he is until I send someone over to feel him out.' Archie, who was standing next to him, saw it too. He couldn't help but frown.
"Look at them, Mr. Shane. Do you think they found out about us?" Shane pondered it for a while before shaking his head. "Probably not."
Archie said again, "But, they keep going to where the crowd is. We can't e exactly send our men in." Then, a gleam flashed in Shane's eyes.
"Don't worry about it. I've got an idea." X
