"Be prepared."

Jason's POV

As I waited for an answer from Nina, I tried to see past the fear in her eyes, but I couldn't quite manage it. She seemed more afraid of what my reaction would be than anything else. I don't think Aurora noticed but I could see Nina's hands shaking in an odd rhythm and her breathing seemed a bit uneven as well.

It wasn't until after a while that she took a deep breath to calm herself before answering. "Yes. There is a risk of it happening, but... we're trying our best to prevent that. If there was even the slightest chance that he knows..."

I didn't need further explanation for me to understand what exactly her answer was implying.

And the mere thought of it terrified me.
