She didn't dare to wander too far and just stayed put. There was a convenience store across the street, and she really wanted to grab a bottle of water but was too chicken to go. "What are you doing just standing there?" Alexander's voice cfrom behind, and Quinn turned around instinctively.
Alexander had just finished his IV treatment. He looked mostly okay, but his face showed he was still feeling weak.

"Why did you lie to me?" Quinn suddenly asked.
Alexander thought for a moment, leaning tiredly against the wall. "If you had toldearlier that you wanted to start over with me, wouldn't I have brought you out?" he said casually. "Liar!" Quinn snapped, turning away, not wanting to talk to him. She couldn't shake off her anger just yet.
"My bad. You see, I'm not getting away unpunished either," Alexander said, grabbing her wrist and trying to pull her closer. "Can you not be mad?" Quinn shook off his hand and stayed silent.
Alexander pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at the door. Sean, catching his gaze, quickly pulled back. After a moment, Matthew cout, reluctantly calling, "Mr. Kennedy." He reported, "Walter went to find the head of the D.E Group. They talked in the room for hours. No clue what they discussed." Hearing Walter's name, Quinn glanced at Matthew.
Alexander sneered, "What else could they be talking about?" His words were vague, leaving both Matthew and Quinn puzzled.
But he didn't explain further.
"What did they talk about?" Quinn asked, trying to sound casual.
Alexander gave her a teasing look, and she immediately turned her head, pretending not to care.
"Cinside with me, and I'll tell you in private," Alexander said with a grin.
Quinn hesitated for a bit before saying, "I'm not interested." "Really?" Alexander asked.

Seeing Alexander frustrated, Matthew reluctantly asked, "What do we do now?" "Bring Alistair back to me," Alexander ordered.
"Didn't Walter go to find him? Won't he bring him back?" Matthew asked.
Alexander gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Are you waiting for him to bring back a corpse?" "Is he really going to kill Alistair?" Matthew asked, shocked.
"Walter's got a new partner. Alistair and his crew know all the trade routes. If Walter doesn't kilAlistair, is he expecting us to force the info out of him?" Alexander explained. Matthew suddenly got it and nodded quickly. "Got it. We'll go get him now." "Don't be reckless. Think before you act," Alexander reminded.
Matthew nodded and turned to leave. Sean, not daring to stick around, left Nathan to protect Alexander and Quinn while he and Matthew took the others and left. Seeing that it was already past noon, Casey cover with two lunch boxes and handed them to Alexander and Quinn.
